Description: The iHome iH12 is a nice little iPod clock radio system that puts out a great sound with its limited set of speakers and small compact size. It has dual alarms, a battery backup, AM/FM radio with 12 total presets and a very easily readable LCD display. There's also a line-in jack for non-iPod audio sources.

We used it as main music source on our three-season porch when company was over and it worked flawlessly. My wife agrees, "It's very easy to use." The backlit display is bright enough that it could double as a night-light for kids' rooms. Fortunately, this setting is dimmable, for people who don't like a beaming light on them while they try to sleep.
