I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I would not find a product that would make me happy. However, after spending a few minutes on various retail web sites, I quickly realized that I was not in for an easy search.Īfter not finding any devices that satisfied my needs and strong wants lists, I even looked at the current iHome devices, and not even they had a product that would do everything I wanted. After all, my old iD91 had all of the above features. I did not consider my lists to be exorbitant or fanciful in any way.
button volume control (as opposed to a knob).FM digital radio tuner (AM would be nice).To be considered, a device must have all of the items in the “need” category, and all but one…maybe two…in the “strong wants” category. In this case, the device was to function as my general bedroom clock, wake-up radio, and general bedroom radio/music device. Whenever researching products to purchase, I make a list of what I need it to have, what I strongly want it to have, and what would I would like it to have. So, I figured I would shop around, see the wealth of different options I had, and choose the best for my needs. LCDs don’t just go bad on their own…they’re either caused by physical trauma or by power issues, and in this case it would be an internal issue caused by bad manufacturing…possibly slightly less voltage than necessary, amplified over time. In this day and age, how does half a digital display stop working? It was never dropped or hit or abused I live in NYC and we really don’t have power issues, and it’s connected to a surge protector anyway.
Everything on the iD91 worked great except that the upper 50% of the digital display just stopped working. Well, the iD91 died in such a way that it made me want to look at, if not give preference to, other brands. “Josh, why wouldn’t you just get another iHome iD91 or another iHome device?” you ask. When it died, I had a heck of a time finding a suitable replacement, mostly because the features I was spoiled with, but now considered a necessity, didn’t seem to exist in any one alarm clock radio on the market. Several years ago I received an iHome iD91 alarm clock radio as a gift, and it changed my alarm clock life forever.
