I like to start a review with the good things. The numbers are large and bright, and one can read them across the room without glasses. If you do not like it bright, (I do!), there is a dimmer. If you want to hit the ceiling when the alarm goes off, (I don't!), set it on the beep or tone. The radio sounds good, the item seems to be well-made, and I was impressed with the design and smaller size.At the top of this nice instruction card, it reads: "How to Set Time/Alarm/Radio?" It was their question mark, not mine, but I began to claim it later. I found trouble at the very first. On top on the left, there are two sliding buttons that will give you the option of having the weekend alarm setting at a different time than weekdays. That impressed me, and I set the buttons for this option first. However, this prevented me from setting the time and anything else. (Spoiler Alert: Set the time and the day BEFORE messing with these sliders.) I had an easy time setting the time but had a little trouble setting the day of the week. Next, I turned on the radio and set it to my getting-up station; the DJ was on an interesting subject, so I left it on. Nuh-huh! I could not set the alarms unless the radio was off. I'll not spoil any other surprises.I plan to keep this alarm/radio, because for the money, it is a good deal. After all, there are people on YouTube waiting to explain things!

Very happy with the alarm. It's smaller than what I had before yet very stable due to its triangle shape. I love the woody surface. Nice large numbers with dimm set up is great. Love the week day / weekend alarm set up so no more turning off the alarm on Friday night or forgetting it all together and then waking up too early on Sat night instead of sleeping in :).There is only one confusion function: if I want to turn off the alarm very shortly after it has started, it is possible with the alarm button with one click. However, if I take longer, the button doesn't work anymore and I have to push the snooze button first and then the alarm button. I haven't figured out what is the time frame yet.

We were looking for a digital alarm clock for our child and love how this one has the large digital display in multiple color options. We decided to go with the colorful blend and my child just loves it. The multiple alarm options and the fact that one can wake up to a local radio station rather than a beeping alarm sound is so nice. Multiple features on this clock include the digital light dimmer, snooze button and setting options for the alarms. Simple and easy to use. My child loves it and is now able to get up independently.

Just got the clock radio yesterday. Very simple to operate. Good FM radio reception. Decent sound for the size. Really like the large display and ability to adjust the brightness.

Excellent bedside dual alarm clock radio. This unit replaced an alarm clock that I'd had for close to 20 years and wasn't sure it would be up to it. Well it's more than up to it and at an amazing price. Dual alarms a must and they work great! The FM reception was also excellent, a pleasant surprise (since I usually wake to the radio), clear and bright sound, not audiophile stuff, but nice FM radio. I love the brightness adjustment, works as described and I can really dim the display when I'm sleeping and brighten it during the day for easier visibility. The instructions are pretty good, only one fix - if your alarm sound is the FM radio you must touch the FM button to turn it off (when using the regular alarm you can touch any button, but only the FM button will turn off the alarm if you use alarm setting 2 - the radio to wake you). Other than that everything works very well and per the description. Big, easy to read display, easy to set and set/reset the alarms, snooze works well, USB port on the back is added touch, nice FM radio, great price. Yes, it's plastic construction and this isn't an artwork, but it's extremely functional, easy to use, and it's a bedside alarm clock. Battery backup works too, I unintentionally unplugged it during some cleaning and when plugged back in it was on time with the alarms in place and ready to go. At this price, with all the functions it's a great bedside alarm clock with dual alarms (a must have in my case) and I'm very happy with this purchase. If I need to replace the clock radio in the guest room in the future, it will probably another one of these clock radios. Recommend, and I'm really enjoying this versatile little clock radio!

Atendeu a minha necessidade. Ajuste do display era uma das coisas mais importantes. Ele desperta com rรกdio num volume programado. Pequeno e funcional

I really like this radio alarm clock but did not realise until I received it that it does not come with a uk standard plug. I had to buy a US/UK adapter which was very annoying. I could not see this information anywhere on the description before I bought it

I had been looking for a clock that I could read at my nightstand with red LEDs so it would not disrupt sleep. My 20 year old alarm clock was still going, but the alarm function only played static, and since I wanted to wake to radio instead of my phone, the old clock had to go. I was also looking to add gradual/humane alarm and weekday/weekend alarms.This clock is close to perfect out of the box. It has what appears to be an analog rheostat to control brightness- so you can gradually change it from completely dim to totally bright. It would be nice to have a clock that was brighter in daytime and dimmer at night, but I was still able to find a "sweet spot" of brightness with this dial that was acceptable to read it at night and daytime so I wouldn't need to change the setting once it was set.The radio is actually very sensitive and tunes digitally allowing precise tuning into FM stations. The speaker is small and mono (only 1 despite two grilles), but sounds very detailed for its size and very good for an alarm clock. There is no AM tuner.While in radio mode, you can "scan" to allow it to use the dial to move between detected stations, or leave it alone and manually tune in 100 kHz steps using the dial, which I prefer. It has a built-in wire antenna which pulls in stations very well; during a weather front I even picked up a station 250 miles away (not normally possible on FM - may say more about the weather that day than the antenna). You can also set 1 preset which is for the radio alarm.The alarm settings are straightforward, and the alarms can be set to daily, weekdays, weekends, or off. You can set two separate alarms. I find the beep sound rather annoying but that's ok because I was planning to use wake to radio either way.My favorite feature of this clock is that the preset radio station will come on (regardless of what station was played at any other time), gradually increase from quiet, and only get to your manually set volume via the volume control on the back. In other words- you can preset the radio alarm's maximum volume!The USB charger works exactly as you'd expect. I currently have a sound machine plugged into it.Some quirks:The manual says that when the alarm goes off, pressing the rotary dial will snooze the alarm for 9 minutes and any other button will stop the alarm. This is true for the beep alarm, but for radio ONLY the radio button will stop it (the others do nothing). That said, if you snooze the radio alarm, then while it's snoozing any other button will stop it.The sleep function seems to work perfectly as intended, but the button for it is on the back of the unit. This is not an issue for me as I've found I need to use a separate sound machine for sleep, but if you like to fall asleep to radio this could be annoying.One feature I wish this had is 1 separate memory for the radio: when you listen to the radio and turn it off, when you turn it on again it will remember which station you had tuned prior. But, after the radio alarm goes off, it forgets the last station you had on before this, and if you go to turn the radio on again it will tune to the alarm preset station, requiring you to re-tune if you listen to something else in the evenings for example. It would be nice if the last station you manually listened to wasn't cleared when the alarm goes off.The only other thing that could improve it is if the red LED clock version had the option of the woodgrain case, because a e s t h e t i c.Overall I'd give it 4 stars on execution because it is so close to perfect, but would nudge it closer to 5 stars given how much better a job this clock does to cover all the bases compared to other models, in addition to having a red LED display which seems more and more difficult to find new these days.

I read somewhere somebody complained that their battery backup feature didnโt work at all. I checked the battery backup on my clock radio and it works perfectly. Seems like itโs a pretty decent alarm clock radio, checked everything but the alarms. My confidence is high in that I donโt think Iโll have any problems with it.One month later and I tried the alarm, works fine. Listen to the radio and it works great, I have presets from the auto tune. Overall I have no problems with this clock radio, will recommend it.
