Loved it until.... [Posted on 2008-05-22]
I LOVED my ihome before one day it just stopped working. I've had it for almost 2 years when I noticed that the remote control wouldn't work. Upon further inspection I found the radio was also no longer working. And with my ipod plugged in, none of the controls built in worked so I had to control the music via the ipod itself. So basically now it functions just as a clock....boo!!! pretty expensive clock!!! looking into other options now...
Worked for awhile [Posted on 2008-05-25]
I bought this product 2 years ago and I was very disappointed. The charger stopped working after 1 year and the sound system was very distorted whenever I used the ipod.
bad news [Posted on 2008-06-18]
product has given my grandson problems...they are in the process of returning this item...how sad
It's a great alarm clock [Posted on 2008-06-21]
In respect to this product, it is unfortunate I do not wish to be literally alarmed when I awake. The iPod comes on at whatever volume you set, but within a few seconds increases to the maximum the unit can produce. The company apparently fixed this problem in later revisions, but the fact that they offered no real remedy for those of us with defective units leaves me with an expensive pair of mediocre speakers.
Bad design, substandard construction materials, horrid customer service. [Posted on 2008-08-14]
Pros:
It does what it says . . . it charges the iPod while you dock it.
Cons:
The dials on the top. Easily discolored plastic. The customer service was unsympathetic.
Overall, it really is an aesthetically displeasing product (from my perspective). I find the design to be dated. The quality of the plastic is substandard, as is the quality of the lighting components. Had I not received it as a gift, I would never have owned it.
The round dials on the top have always been an issue, as these allow you to set the time and alarm. Spinning them endlessly until you reach the desired time is really a bother.
DO NOT plan to place the iH5 in a window if it's white. The plastic will discolor from white to a toasted almond color.
The light has failed completely, (its failure started as merely a flicker). When customer service was contacted, they first said to send it in for a $40 repair. When I said that this was unacceptable, they offered to repair it for $10. I remarked that this was still unacceptable and that the failure of the light was not something that should be tolerated in the first couple of years of owning the product.
