General Electric 29297GE3

Pros: Many features, compact, easy to use, seems solidly built

Cons: Display hard to read, radio tuning and reception only OK

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this unit despite the minor display and radio issues. The features and ease of use outweigh these flaws for me.

Review: I received the GE 29297GE3 as a gift this past Christmas (2007) and I am pretty happy with it. My previous alarm clock radio with phone was getting old and the phone and radio were starting to cut in and out, so it was time to replace it. One of the ...

Pros: Lots of good features, that work well, in an easy-to-use design

Cons: LCD display is hard to read, is either washed-out or covered with spurious characters.

The Bottom Line: Because of the features, I can accept the drawbacks in the display. I recommend this device wholeheartedly.

Review: When my 32-year-old digital alarm clock went west, I was looking for a replacement. This combo unit seemed to fit the bill - it would replace my defunct alarm clock, as well as the cumbersome telephone that I kept on the bedside table. I found it at ...

Pros: Corded in a Cordless world. Sleek and compact design.

Cons: Display hard to get just right.

The Bottom Line: If you are ever faced with a choice between this phone and another, get this one, you won't be sorry.

Review: I bought this phone in Walmart ($28.87) 3 days ago and so far I am extremely happy with it. I wanted a clock/radio/caller id all in 1 phone to save space on my nighttable by my bed. I also wanted it to be corded in case there were any electrical ...

Pros: Decent radio reception, clear phone, dual alarm

Cons: display either too bright or too dark, alarm off is only temporary

Review: I had a hard time finding a combination phone/alarm clock, and was pleased to come across the 29297. It had all the features I was looking for, including a dual alarm. Radio reception is very good, and the phone sounds fine. Biggest gripes are the ...

Pros: Low-priced. Many features. Many models available.

Cons: NONE of them last very long, corded or cordless.

Review: Just today, I had a power outage in my neighborhood. Completely blew out all of the phone's features (Caller ID, alarm clock, radio). Worse, another GE phone (cordless) in the house did the same. By contrast, the V-Tech phone continues to function as ...

Pros: Phone, clock, radio in small unit for bedside.

Cons: The radio reception is horrible.

Review: You can hear one station across the entire AM or FM radio dial. Reception is terrible. Tried three different ones before I decided the product was just BAD. Save your money. The light is glaringly bright on the display screen. And to add ...
