Who knew that you could get so many features jam-packed into one unit? The Roberts iDream DAB Clock Radio is a great clock radio that has so many things going on you will probably never get tired of all the things it can do. From normal clock radio functions to remote control, DAB and FM radio, all with an iPod dock this machine is the complete package.
For starters, the clock is housed in a semi-round black and chrome casing with speakers house in the side. While the shape may remind some of those automatic vacuum cleaners, it is nice looking and will blend in with any bedroom décor. The large LCD display is easy to read and has multiple dimmer settings to not disturb your valuable beauty sleep. When it comes to waking up in the morning you have your choice of radio, buzzer or iPod. If you haven’t joined the iPod movement yet, you can still listen to mp3 tunes through the aux input socket, and to avoid fights with the misses there is a headphone socket as well.
The Roberts iDream DAB Clock Radio is incredibly easy to use with its large display and easy to follow menu functions. The time is set automatically, so no worrying about being late for work, and a remote control comes in handy for changing the music when you are across the room. For the price, this is one of the most affordable clock radio and ipod units on the market.

While this may not by the prettiest clock on the block, it does offer a nice array of features for your bedside table. It’s large, easy to read display is perfect for those who hate to have to squint at night to see the time, and the options on this model make it perfect for those who like a lot of choice when it comes to their clock.
The dual alarm is very useful if you have a spouse that likes to sleep in a bit more than you, or if you need to get up a different times during the week. The clock sets itself automatically so you never have to worry about it being fast or slow. Offering both DAB and classic FM you will have your choice of stations to choose from, and the adjustable sleep and snooze timer comes in handy when you like a bit more rest between buzzers.
If you have an MP3 player or iPod you can use an auxiliary plug in to listen through the clock’s speakers, and you can also plug in headphones so you don’t bug your spouse if you want to listen to the radio before going to bed.
The Roberts CRD19 DAB Clock Radio is perfect for anyone who wants a clock that looks like a clock instead of a piece of modern art, and wants all the functionality of FM radio, DAB and MP3 input. With great sound, clear display and easy settings this clock is at the top of the class.
