This is where alarm clocks come into picture. But if you need to share your room along with someone, then the noise of your alarm sometimes annoys the other person. When it starts off, it gives a buzzing sound or harsh ringing. Hence then clock radio was invented, and became the hot items out in the market.

Don’t choose clock radios that are complicated to handle. Clock radios coming in digital models are easy to handle while other models are not. Read out and comprehend the user manual to find if it is easy to handle.

  • Ensure that there is warranty card for the clock radio you are purchasing. Ask the seller about the return and exchange policies so that defective things can be changed immediately. Radio clocks all are not very expensive but still it is an investment where you as the buyer deserve the better deal you could get.
  • Ask the shop dealer to display several models to choose from them. Test each item for good working condition and the alarm that sounds good is enough. Most of the clock radios use electricity as its power, but if battery is used, then examine the quality of battery in which it operates. For the sound features, you can also set voices, radio, or recorded music to get at your appointed time.
  • Pick up wide screen displays so that figures are well seen even at dark. Check out the snooze features and timers too. Check for snooze buzz so that even after alarming it continues to make you wake up. The sleep timing should also function properly because it will be determining by what time you want to be roused.
  • When you are the person who gets shocked or scared with sudden noise then, pick up clock radio which has ascending tone feature. In this way, alarm starts at low volume initially and gradually increases as you get awakened.
  • The clock radio with the dual ringing feature is ideal when you share it with someone. Say for example, two separate alarms cannot be set on the clock if you are married.
  • If you are purchasing clock radio for children, then choose the model with pre-programmed songs besides its radio feature.
  • So if there is a plan to purchase clock radio then, make sure to pick the one that have all the necessary features which will work accordingly to your convenience.
