it is easy to set up. It’s very compact and very readable even across a room. We like that it has two alarms which are easy to set. Plus it is a really good value

This alarm wakes me up pretty well. It was cheap and does what it is supposed to. The only issue is the radio; it start to get finicky after a few weeks, but does usually fix itself over time.

Great clock. A little learning curve, but not too bad. Small enough for the space we have available. Hold snooze button to cancel alarm is a good feature as you don't have to actually turn off the alarm (which we did have to on our old clock radio). All in all, very satisfied with this product.

I got a new cable box, and suddenly needed a clock I could see from across the room, often in the dark. The numbers on this one are large and clear, and I love that it has different brightness levels. It’s a perfect “old-fashioned” clock radio without all the extra fuss.

All I wanted was a simple and easy to operate alarm clock. I didn't need all kinds of extra functions that I'll never use that requires a multi-page instruction booklet written by people who will never use the product. I bought this clock hoping it would be what I wanted. It was. Lord be praised. The numbers are large and bright and the wakeup time is easy to set and turn off upon waking. The radio works just fine so I can listen to news as I'm getting ready to go to work. It has a USB connection so I can charge my phone while it's handy next to the bed. Great job, Best Buy!!

It’s cheap. It tells time well, and that’s about it. The radio is mediocre. The alarm should be intuitive but it’s not. There are two alarms as a positive. Setting the volume for the alarm, I try to use the radio, is somewhat problematic. The instructions are too brief. It took me multiple tries with the alarm failing to go off or at the wrong volume. By anything else.

Nice large, bold Green numbers.
Battery backup. Which is great as we have many power outages in our area.
Only issue is that the alarm is a bit hard to turn off and when the power goes out,it resets the alarm to on.
Doesn't bode well at midnight when you are asleep and it goes off.
And it's loud.
The radio is nice as well.
I am considering purchasing a few more for other rooms in my house.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

Like the low light settings, large numbers, easy to set the clock and alarm, BUT, trying to get it to play the radio instead of the beeping alarm was a pain in the butt. I read all the directions and it said nothing. Look for RAD when setting alarms, takes a min!!

Nice Clock But Didn't Last Long

I've owned this clock radio since the latter part of June. It has a wonderful clock when it's set to bright. The small backup battery costs less than 9volt. But the radio won't come on when I hold the on button down as it should. It displays AM/FM channels but no sound comes out. I tried unplugging and plugging it back in but then AM 1410 froze on the screen and I couldn't get the clock back on. Most likely this clock radio is defective. I am very disappointed in this product. Usually, Best Buy store brand electronics are better than this.

Love this alarm clock!! Was exactly what I was looking for. I display it across the room in my bedroom and is easy to read from the opposite side of my bedroom in darkness or daylight. Had a clock with blue LED lights previously and was hard to read half the time. Definitely an upgrade! Radio doesn’t get too loud but gets the job done. Other reviewers say it was hard to change the time and set alarms. Although, I haven’t had any issues and actually find it pretty easy to change the time and set any alarms. As long as you know what each button does, you should be fine!

This works very well for Us. Three levels on brightness for the numbers. Bright, dim and then dimmer. Dual alarm setting which makes it nice. Also has a back up battey in case the power goes out, A little hard for Us to set up but once you figure it out it's good.

This little clock met my requirements of dual alarm with batter backup if the power goes out. Was fairly easy to set up but I have trouble just turning the radio on. If I don't hit the power just right, I keep going between AM/FM settings. The sound is clear but 'tinny". I like that the screen can be dimmed. Overall it meets my needs and hopefull I'll get better at using it as time goes by.

Sound quality is not great but about as expected from a small light weight clock radio. Time set and tuning are as simple as other radios. Has wall adapter rather than direct AC. Large green display is easy to read without glasses. Overall adequate for what i needed

Nice looking item though does feel light and flimsy. Large screen so easy to view. Ease of control functions once identified or manual read (which most don’t care to do. Myself included!). Radio reception is worst than melted ice cream. Price on point though and if time and alarm/sleep modes are essential to your lifestyle, then this item is for you.

The alarm function works nice. I use the buzzer. It starts off low and gets gradually louder. Maybe a bit confusing at first to setup, but it became easy. The display as three brightness levels. I lowest one is still easily visible. I don't use the radio but I did try it out. I was able to easily tune into local news stations, but I can't add much more about that. It is kinda big for an alarm clock, so check out the dimensions.
