Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus Omnidirectional Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unfortunately this product, while being another example of Logitech's great quality, finds itself in the awkward position of being a less enticing version of other Logitech Products that better specialize in aspects of the Pure-Fi Express Plus' feature set. The product is a good, not great performer, it's portable, and it features an alarm clock, but since Logitech has other iPod docking products that either perform better, are more portable, or are better alarm clocks, I'd recommend the alternatives first.

As far as performance goes, the Pure-Fi Express Plus didn't provide the same quality output as my set of standalone speakers with subwoofer, but it holds its weight. Logitech's Pure-Fi Dream Speaker might be a better alternative if you're looking for higher quality output (and AM/FM radio).

For portability, the Pure-Fi Express Plus is certainly nice, compact, and simple. In fact, it's a little smaller than expected (Logitech uses a 2nd generation Nano in many of the product photos which makes the Pure-Fi Express look bigger than it is). If you're primarily interested in portability, however, the even more portable, rechargeable Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i might be a better choice.

For the alarm clock functionality, the Pure-Fi Express Plus gets the job done, but it just has a buzzer (it won't let you wake up to your iPod), it doesn't feature dual alarms, and the snooze button doubles as the volume dial which doubles as the power button. Fortunately, another Logitech product, the similarly priced Pure-Fi Anytime Premium Alarm Clock, has all the features you'd expect of a full-featured alarm clock, if that's what you're after.

The only compelling advantage the Pure-Fi Express Plus has over its alternatives is the omnidirectional speaker which broadcasts in 360

Sony CMT-LX20i 10W RMS Total Power Output Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was not certain of the value for money when I purchased the Sony CMT Hi Fi but from the reviews on Amazon I thought it was a safe purchase.I must say it more then met my expectations, the unit is compact but well designed and took up 1/3 less space than the unit it replaced (a "boombox" with two separate speakers) and weighed 2/3rds less.The sound quality is equal if not better and the iPod docking unit is seamless to use.I was impressed with the digital radio and the CD player is probably the least of the package but still works well.Overall I am very satisfied with the product.

iLuv iMM153BLK Dual Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker for your iPod - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this alarm clock for my 14 year old. We have tried numerous other alarm clocks for her, even the ones with the bells on top that clang. She has slept through them all, sometimes even when they go off for 30 minutes near her head. This year she started high school and has to get up much earlier. The iLuv has woken her up much more quickly than any other alarm clock! I no longer have to get up and drag her out of bed. I would recommend this for sound sleepers!

Midland WR11 AM/FM Clock Radio with NOAA All Hazard Weather Alert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own a whole Nor'easters worth of weather radios.I have had an interest in the weather since the time of being a boy and longing for a blizzard to come along and make my day by closing all the schools.Most weather radios are pretty much designed to be either stand alone table models, or portable units either in a hand held or carry along design.Between the house and the outbuildings here I have a total of 8 of both varieties, with 4 of them being Midland models.This WR11 unit is sorta in a class by itself as it is a traditional looking clock radio designed for your nightstand with full weather features. The radio features are all pretty standard with the AM FM selector and alarm.It gets good overall reception for what you would expect for its size and price. A quick flip of a switch can have you listening to the NOAA weather broadcasts that are available 24/7.Every Midland radio I have ever owned always got excellent weather reception and this one is no exception.Upon its first startup, you turn the frequency selector until your local NOAA station is located and then it is permanently locked on.Unless you move, you never have to tune in to find the weather again.

The weather alert feature is a good one to have included, especially if you happen to live in an area prone to tornadoes, flash floods, or any other weather emergency that can erupt suddenly.But it is also useful if you happen to be the type to not pay much attention to the weather until it starts to get really interesting, or scary.Setting the alert feature to on gives you the option of either an alarm, voice, or light display only.Unless you enjoy being possibly awakened in the middle of the night by an alarm that will definitely leave your heart pounding, I would suggest the voice alert that is far more subtle. (Or the light only display if you happen to be that light a sleeper to take notice of it). Keep in mind also that this radio receives all weather, as well as a whole range of civil defense/Amber alert bulletins as well.(An Amber alert issued in Massachusetts just last week at the time of this writing was heard on this radio, as well as my others set to alert).Its a solid little radio with a generous display that is nicely back lit without being too intrusive, and the buttons and dials are easy to reach and use.

One last item as to the alert feature.This radio does not have SAME technology.That is, it is not able to distinquish between alerts issued in your specific zip code, as opposed to county or regional alerts.In other words, if you have the alert feature set to on, you will recieve all alerts in your general area whether they specifically apply to your locale or not.If it is a soild, table top weather radio with alert model you are looking for that can be programmed as to your own specific area,may I suggest the Midland WR300.It is a little more expensive, and more designed for the weather enthusiast than the casual user, but it is a top of the line model that does possess the SAME technology.I have enclosed a link to it at the end of this review.On the other hand, the Midland WR11 is a fine model if what you are interested in is a small well designed dependable radio for your bedroom, or any other place such a clock radio model will suit you.In my opinion a fine little unit...MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio
