Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my second ALURATEK purchase after AIRMM01MM. The reception, ease of use and available Radio Stations list is impressive. Other functionality: USB MP3 play, Windows MediaConnect streaming and WiFi Access Point were tested in the previous unit and it worked very well. In this new model they added an RSS Feed connectivity, a nice smaller remote (missing RADIO FM button for some reason! Come on Aluratek!!!) a new slick look with two navigation dials instead of buttons, but the same slow and bulky GUI without PRESETS (See my review of AIRMM01F). The Digital Clock display mimicking flipping number plates is a hideous abomination. 2) NO BACK BUTTON. Come on Aluratek! - ADD THE PRESETS so that we dont have to go kill ourselves going through several layers of navigation : Internet Radio -> Favorite ->Location -> Europe-> Italy -> News-> RadioItaliaInternacional !
Unlike AIRMM01F it has two RCA stereo jacks for audio connectivity as well as standard 3.5mm earphone jack. It has 2 speakers(stereo)unlike the older unit but the older unit sound quality is still better. Would I recommend this product for the price - YES.
**********
ADDENDUM:
1)This radio is not really an Alarm Clock! AIRMM01F is. I found the Alarm feature to be buggy and freeze up when you touch the dials to snooze or stop the alarm. There are no "snooze" buttons on the radio so you HAVE to use the remote.
2)NEEDS a new Firmware Update: Sometimes the menu blacks out and displays only sub-menu descriptors. The RadioFM Alarm operation when activated is tends to freeze up per above bullet-point.
