Roberts Gemini 9

+ Good machine for a clock radio

- Emits a low but annoying buzzing sound when on standby - not great if you're trying to sleep!!

A little pricey

+ Looks

- operation

a mistake

+ Very good sound and attractive design.

- Stations that have been preset are occasionally "lost" for no apparent reason and re-presetting is a bit of a nuisance.

Overall a good product and good value for money.

+ Looks good - sound quality good

- It was advertised as having a dual alarm (ie: 2 settings) - and it didn't The lowest volume level was still really loud - too loud for an alarm

+ the sound and look are exactly what i wanted.

- none really

+ Strong reciever - e.g. picks up signals better than most in weak signal areas

- a little complicated to set up but you get used to it

+ good quality, compact modern design

- During the night I find the display light level distracting when only the time is required i.e. lots of background light ( even on lowest setting) as apposed to illuminated figures only. Also volume, for night listening lowest setting not low enough.

+ Very easy to use and set up with a clear display which with its adjustable levels of brightness from off to very bright in about 8 steps makes it suitable for all conditions.

- If I had to pick anything at all and this is being very picky I would say that it would have been nice to have been able to vary the 'snooze' function time otherwise no complaints.
