Summary: Best value
Comment: This is the best alarm clock/radio I have found, especially considering the reasonable price. Good reception (wish is had a digital tuner though) and of high quality overall. Very easy to change the alarm time with both rapid + or - buttons. The slide switch for the mode - "off" "Radio" "buzzer" "radio and buzzer" feels a little flimsy but overall I would recommend this clock radio and would buy another.

Summary: Works well - some quirks
Comment: I've been looking all over for an alarm clock with a big display. All the others that I tried were WAY TOO BRIGHT. This one lives at the other end of the spectrum. First of all, it has an adjustment wheel for continuous adjustability. The problem is that while it dims to almost invisibility it only gets marginally bright enough for daytime viewing. 20 years ago these clocks came with a light sensor that adjusted the brightness automatically, but now none do. The designers apparently haven't done their homework because they could easily include this feature in modern designs.
The other problem I have is that the controls are unlike any other clock I've ever encountered. Instead of the standard "Time/Hour/Minute/Alarm buttons that every other clock has to set the time this one has +fast/+/-fast and a slider to get to the alarm. Also to activate the alarm or shut it off there is another slider switch, not the most easily manipulated when groggy. It should be a separate switch, large, preferably located by itself, not a fussy slider with 4 different settings.
Also a red display choice would be nice since the eye is not so sensitive to red and it doesn't interfere with night vision.

Summary: Easy to use and Read Dual Alarm
Comment: Used for about one month. Display is easy to read with easy and large adjustment range from dim to bright. Easy to set. Decent button placement. Average AM radio. Relatively compact and stable design for the display size. We use as first alarm radio, second alarm buzzer. I do not think you can set two alarm times for buzzer, one must be radio.

Summary: Bedside Clock
Comment: Excellent bedside clock. Easy to read at night. Alarm is simple to set. Radio reception is poor without an ariel which I don't have..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Display is too dim
Comment: The display is way too dark and almost impossible to read accurately during the day time.
