I bought this cordless bedroom phone/radio because I was tired of having too many appliances at my night table. Now that I have my clock, my caller-id phone and stereo all in one place, I definitely love it. I really recommend this item to anyone. And the reception quality of all three feautres its great.

Very difficult learning curve. Instruction are poorly written. To date, I have not been able to get radio reception without getting extreme bleed-over from other stations. AM, even with antenna, is out of the question.

I bought this to replace the GE 26985GE1, which lasted forever until my kids dumped a glass of water on it. I'm not thrilled with the "upgrade."

Cons:
The ring tones are terrible; there isn't a normal sounding choice.
The alarm is difficult to turn on and off.

Pros:
Big display.
You can set the amount of "snooze" time.

It is what it says it is: a cordless telephone / clock / radio. I think I'd rather have my old one back, though.

The quality and feature set on this product are disappointing, particularly for a GE product. The instructions are poor, and the unit does not respond to some of the instructions - in fact, it appears that the instructions might have been written for another rev of the product. The handset key tones cannot be turned off. The ringer selection is very limited and sounds cheap. The hand set feels cheap.

I'm sending it back.

Hard to find a clock radio/phone combination anymore. This one is excellent. Phone is nice and clear with very good range. Display nice and bright and can be turned down at night. Two alarm settings a nice touch. We had an earlier version of this phone but this one beats it hands down.
