A few years back I had a clock/radio-cassette/telephone beside my bed which I used religiously every morning to wake me up. I would wake up each morning to the radio or even my favourite music from cassette tapes if I wished and it served me well for a few years until it broke. I thought about buying a replacement but instead began setting the alarm on my mobile phone to wake me every morning instead. All was fine and I was happy enough waking every morning to music I had stored on my mobile and saw no need to buy a replacement clock radio. That was until one morning when for some unknown reason the alarm on my mobile failed to go off and I overslept. Although the ...  Read the complete review

My wife wanted a cheap clock radio to put in the kitchen, initially just to indicate the time, but also to provide a radio in the background. We didn't want to spend a fortune because looks weren't really that important since we were intending it to be sort of buried away on a shelf. So walking around Tesco one day I saw this Value Clock Radio at only £4.97 and thought it should be an absolute bargain and ideal for our needs. The clock itself comes in a matt black plastic case measuring 12 cm by 11 cm by 5 cm high, so not large by any means, and is mains powered, or self powered via 4 x AA batteries mounted in the base. At the front is the LED clock display ...  Read the complete review

Alarmingly good value 0 of 0 Ciao Users found the following review helpful Rating from gemreview (24/08/2012) Advantages Good value Disadvantages Reception ~Memories~ When I lived at home with my mum, I remember getting my first alarm clock for high school and I felt so grown up and responsible. I also adored being able to listen to the radio while in bed. This is how I got into music and discovered loads of new artists and likewise, heard songs of years gone by. I remember that my old alarm clock seemed to be indestructable. It was covered in speckles of paint, had been dropped umptenn times yet lived on far after I ...  Read the complete review

I like to have my evenings at home, and being a bus driver this can be tricky to achieve with massively fluctuating shift patterns. Thankfully, I finally got put on permanent early shifts recently, and rising from my pit at 5am is now a daily thing. However, as I enjoy my evenings, I often don't bed down early enough, and thus need a little encouragement to wake up. I use the trusty combination of mobile phone and alarm clock, and since my last buzzing timepiece got taken apart by my daughters, I needed a cheap replacement, and they don't come much cheaper than this Value range clock radio from Tesco. Here are my thoughts on this unsurprising budget ...  Read the complete review
