Amazon.com Product Description
Save counter space in your kitchen or workshop while still enjoying your full iPod library with the iHome under-cabinet stereo. Boasting a built-in dock that charges your iPod, an integrated FM/TV/weather tuner, and a three-line display that tells you what's playing from a distance, the unit is perfect for space-challenged users everywhere. To mount the system, simply locate a cabinet, shelf, or desk with roughly 5 inches of underside space. Once you've determined the ideal location, the system installs discreetly using the included mounting hardware. Within minutes you'll have access to hundreds of iPod playlists, the full FM radio spectrum, the audio channels of select TV stations, or any of the built-in weather band channels, all in the comfort of your kitchen or garage. The motorized docking station is built to protect your iPod--a must in cooking and working environments--with a tray that slides the iPod out of sight while you listen. In addition, it's easy to switch from station to station thanks to the 12 tuner presets, which include four FM1, four FM2, and four TV presets. Best of all, the unit sounds great thanks to the Reson8 ported speaker technology, which delivers full, rich audio through the pair of 3-watt speakers. Other details include a 120-minute cooking timer for kitchen use, an easy-to-clean vinyl membrane keypad, a factory-preset clock with calendar, a battery backup function that maintains the clock settings after a power failure, and a remote control that adjusts the radio and iPod settings. The remote even includes a magnetic backing that attaches to the side of the iHome player. The unit, which measures 13.03 by 3.28 by 10.98 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a 90-day warranty iPod Compatibility

 Fun Kitchen Gadget November 2, 2008
This small player has a really big sound. It's fun to use my ipod in the kitchen without wearing it or having to bring a portable speaker unit from another room. I like the tv band too! Now while I'm cooking I can listen to my tv program that everyone else in the family is watching in the living room!!
 Bad radio reception. Very large October 29, 2008
The radio reception was very poor. It also was much bigger than it seemed on the website. When used with an iPod, the sound quality is very good.
Adding a second one for our other home September 14, 2008
It's very hard to find an under the counter kitchen iPod player. We purchased one for our apt in NYC and love it so much we now want one for our home. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a BOSE system but hey, it's functional, cheaper and gives you your own tunes in the kitchen. I couldn't figure out how to set the clock (even though this is my 5th iHome product) but someone at iHome got back to me immediately w/ a response. Nice! I would definitely recommend this product. One thing though, our Apple T.V. remote always ends up turning this on when we're using the remote close by... just and FYI.
Works as advertised August 28, 2008
I received this radio and had it installed in less than 30 minutes. Cabinet templates were easy to understand and very helpful. I like how you don't have to have the iPod out to listen to your songs. When the iPod is stored inside the unit the artist and song information is displayed on the LCD screen.
Simple, functional product August 14, 2008
I purchased this unit for my wife who:
A. I love
B. is technically challenged
C. loves her iPod
D. hates charging her iPod
C. wants to hear iPod through stereo speakers in the vicinity of the kitchen
D. did I say technically challenged already?
This unit was easy to install, has a the necessary adapters for my iPod 1st gen Nano and her iPod Mini.
It is simple to use, has a great little remote that has at least (I tested) 20 foot range, probably more. The remote has a magnetic back so you can stick it on the fridge or anything else metal.
The sound is great. I placed in an area of the kitchen where we can hear in kitchen but also in living and den areas.
The interface is easy to use, the iPod slips securely into the adapter and iPod cradle. You can leave the cradle open to play your iPod, scrolling through music, or using the remote or push the button and have it retract into the unit. At that point you have to use the remote. Not much to the remote. basically forward or back on your music selection.
As far as radio goes, we live in an area with poor reception so I was not expecting much. But the antenna wire that comes out of the unit can be run out if needed. i just tucked it back behind the unit and still receive great reception.
The unit was well worth the money and I would buy another and recommend to anyone looking for an under the counter unit.
The wife loves it and can actually use it without problems.
I'll update if anything goes wrong with it.
