CapelloCR22 Sleep and Charge Dual Alarm Clock with Dual USB Charging

Super alarm clock!

This is the best little alarm clock I've ever owned. It is cute and functional and has a radio and adjustable volume controls. Two alarms can be set at the same time.The FM radio comes in great and I have it set on a favorite station. You can program in stations and then you can wake with the radio or listen for a specific time before going to sleep. There is a nap, sleep button which is very useful. I press the radio button, then the sleep button and the radio turns off automatically after a preset time ( 15/30/60/90 minutes).This also has a nice big snooze button on the top so it is easy to turn off the alarm when you want to sleep a little longer.What I like is that you can adjust the brightness of the display so it doesn't light up your whole room at night. However if you want it to act as a night light, you can set it on the brightest setting.Also, I find this useful when charging my little speaker I use with my CD player. This alarm clock has two USB charging ports which is very convenient. I can charge my kindle and the speaker at the same time! If you have a cell phone or iPad you keep by the bed, this is also a good feature as there is also a line-in jack so you can play music from your phone on the alarm clock speaker.The only negative I'd say is the AM radio which does not seem to work very well.The instruction book is however great and makes setting this clock up easy. It seems the company who makes this alarm clock really did think of everything. My favorite thing to do is climb into my warm bed, put on the radio with one touch of a button and read to my heart's content.I think you will love this alarm clock and it doesn't take up a lot of room on your nightstand.~The Rebecca Review

I bought this at Target yesterday. I was replacing a 30-year-old Sony clock radio with CD. I was happy with this radio until I tried the AM. I get exactly one station. All the rest just make noise. I like the display & it's not too difficult to set up. The FM reception is very good, but I like some news stations on AM. If you're only interested in FM, & you just want an alarm, you'll probably like this radio.

Almost impossible to set the alarm. We discarded the instruction sheet thinking it would be online. It is not. Searches default to CR220. Not even close. Nice little clock. ONLY if they could have simplified the alarm setting. Radio quality is junk like it was built with 1950s technology. You don't get what you pay for on this model.

Way too bright even on dim setting. Huge pain in the rear to figure out how to set alarm. I’m going back to basics and this one is going to Goodwill.

I just wanted a bedside clock that a) isn't too bright at night, and b) has at least 2 built-in USB chargers. The old clock radio I'm trying to replace is the  RCA Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Multicolor Fashion Wraps  (RCR8622), which is way too bright even on its dimmest setting. I don't care about radio or alarm functions; I'll never use those.I bought three Capello alarm clocks at Target to compare:1. Capello "Sleep & Charge: dual alarm clock with dual USB charging" (model CR22) Capello Sleep and Charge This was the cheapest of the new clocks---around eighteen dollars at Target. It also looks the cheapest because of its cute round shape. The numbers are very large. It's the brightest of the three Capello clocks even at its dimmest setting, and it has some backlight bleed. It's still dimmer than my old RCA clock, though.2. Capello "Triple Charge: 3 USB charging ports phone stand" (model CR221) Capello Triple Charge Clock This was the most expensive Capello alarm clock---around thirty dollars, marked down from forty. It has a little bit of backlight bleed in a pitch black room, but despite that, it has the dimmest screen. Being able to hold the phone or device that's being charged is a helpful feature. The clock is sold online only in silver, but the one I got from my Target store was actually piano black, not silver.3. Capello "Double Charge Alarm Clock: with dual USB phone charger" (no model number) Capello Double Charge Clock This was slightly cheaper than the Triple Charge---around twenty-eight dollars, marked down from thirty. It has absolutely zero backlight bleed; I think it uses actual segmented LEDs instead of a backlit LCD. Its USB ports are in the front, and that's a little ugly because it means that your USB cables will be hanging in front of it. At its dimmest setting, it's not the dimmest but not the brightest. I like the triangular prism shape of it, and I like how the control buttons are hidden on the right and left sides.I ended up keeping the "Triple Charge" because it has the dimmest screen and a built-in phone stand. Runner-up was the "Double Charge" because it doesn't have any backlight bleed.

Although it has a lot of features, the reception for AM radio is terrible. It comes with an antenna but still very buzzy. Its not my location because AM works great on last radio. Was replacing it because alarm settings aren't working anymore on old clock. FM comes in good butI like to listen to AM at night and this isn't a good radio for that. Also its a pain setting the preset channels. You have to click through every channel to get your stations, no speed dial. I would prefer a tuner knob than this.

My mother bought one of these, and one of the LED segments has already turned off or burned out so it’s hard to tell the time.
