Nice, but no remote. Radio is fuzzy.
I received this today. It's a nice little unit - just the right size for my nightstand. And one of the main reasons I bought it was because I couldn't find another clock radio that didn't light up the entire room - the dimmer works great.
Sound is just OK when listening to the Ipod. And as expected, the tiny little wire antenna for the radio isn't great. It only works well if you're holding it.
The only real problem was that the remote wasn't included. The box states that it's not included, and there's an order form inside to purchase the remote for $19.99. I'm guessing that IHome has changed this.
Meanwhile, it's difficult to press the play/pause button on my Nano while it's in the IHome cube. (I've sent an email to Amazon. ... Read More
Great sound, small footprint
Love this Cube - easily moves from room to room, back-up battery holds time, stations, etc. though it is not battery operated. Charges iPod - I took it on vacation and loved having my tunes with me! Big sound from a little box.
Good but has 2 flaws
Good size, good sound, good basic design..... but 2 problems.
1) The control buttons on top have raised designs to distinguish them, but not raised enough. So you hunt and peck for the right button in the dark searching to turn off the alarm. I've placed a very small blob of clear glue from my glue-gun next to the off button to find it more easily.
2) I have an older version of the iPod mini. Out of the 5 plug-in adapters for different iPods that come with the unit.... NONE of them are for the older version of my iPod mini. It still works... but I have to be careful plugging it in and taken it out and not bumping it when plugged in.
Should have purchased iHome months ago
This is a fixture in our home. We love everything about it. It is very easy to use and we now know we should have purchased it with our iPod.
