What Others Say
Great features, but horrible programming notes!
After reading reviews from others, I still purchased this clock radio. It has lots of great features; 2 different alarms, a wireless phone, great reception for the radio with several buttons for preset stations.
I've got to agree with the others that the instructions for setting the alarms is horrible. It's written like 'poor spaghetti code' (for you computer geeks!) Once you get used to it, it's not so bad, but the initial setting is a bit of a challenge. Yes, the three settings for the lighted face is VERY bright (even on the lowest setting). If you need a dark room to sleep, this is not the clock for you! Still very pleased with the purchase over all.
Clock Alarm and Phone radio
GE 2.4 GHz 27980GE3 Cordless Bedroom Phone with AM/FM Stereo and Call Waiting Caller ID looked OK on paper. However, I found that the lighted screen which displays the time is not very good. It is hard to see in a dark room - not enough briliance and/or contrast. The phone works well and the controls are not difficult to handle. However, unless you work with the controls (timer, setting alarm, etc.) almost on a daily basis, you have to refer to the instructions manual to se the alarms..
DON'T BUY IT!!
This unit is terrible!!! Very inconvenient to use. The directions are poorly written. Each morning we wake up guessing whether we will wake up to the AM station we "set it for" or to static on an FM station. Even if I double check it we're still guessing. The 1st unit I got was defective, this is the 2nd one.
Still waiting.....
I ordered this phone on Oct. 16-today is Nov. 12 and the item has still not shipped. It did not state in the ordering process that item would not ship out until mid- Nov to early December. I called Amazon, who in turned contacted the manufactor, however, this did not expediate the order.
Disappointing Product for GE
The quality and feature set on GE 2.4 GHz 27980GE3 Cordless Bedroom Phone with AM/FM Stereo and Call Waiting Caller ID are disappointing, particularly for a GE product. The instructions are poor, and the unit does not respond to some of the instructions - in fact, it appears that the instructions might have been written for another rev of the product. The handset key tones cannot be turned off. The ringer selection is very limited and sounds cheap. The hand set feels cheap.
