Purchased product for my 9 year old daughter and is the perfect size and features. I would recommend this product to others.

Love the way the radio gradually turns on and off. Love the levels of light for the display. Love choices for "sleep". Love how it pulls in more stations than my last clock radio. Love the small size.
 Features are perfect for price but hiss in the audio is disappointing December 8, 2008

Overall I liked the features of this iPod clock radio. Unfortunately at low volumes (i.e. volumes you would listen to as you relax to go to sleep) the background noise/hiss was nearly as loud as the music or voice (e.g. talk radio). The hiss sounds like what you used to hear on audio tapes without a noise reduction switch, and occurs in all audio sources including radio and iPod. I don't know if this is a flaw in the circuitry of this model or just my unit. Some people may not notice or care, and I realize this isn't particularly expensive audio equipment, but this is something I just don't expect from today's digital audio at any reasonable price. There are no controls on this unit that might adjust the background noise. I also called iHome support and they walked me through resetting the unit, but that didn't fix it.
Nice, but no remote. Radio is fuzzy. December 2, 2008

I received this today. It's a nice little unit - just the right size for my nightstand. And one of the main reasons I bought it was because I couldn't find another clock radio that didn't light up the entire room - the dimmer works great.
Sound is just OK when listening to the Ipod. And as expected, the tiny little wire antenna for the radio isn't great. It only works well if you're holding it.
The only real problem was that the remote wasn't included. The box states that it's not included, and there's an order form inside to purchase the remote for $19.99.
I should also mention that the sound can be improved if you put it in 3D mode. But you need the remote control to do that! LOL
Update:If I could, I would change this to just one or two stars. I did the research - Ihome used to include the remote. Now they don't. (I emailed this to amazon, and they'll change the product description some day soon.) The size and looks are great for what I need, but the poor sound quality, along with an added $20 price tag just to get the remote is ridiculous. I could live without the remote except as the previous reviewer mentioned: Without it you have to sit up in bed to use any of the buttons, because they're flat and you can't simply feel for them.
I'll never buy another Ihome product.
