Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the nature sounds to be a great feature that helps them get to sleep. The compact size of the clock radio is also well-received, with customers appreciating its space-saving design. However, there are some concerns about the display being hard to read at night and the brightness level even at the medium setting. Some customers also find the instructions to be more complicated than expected.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Too many "gadgets"

    I wanted a simple clock radio alarm. I got all sorts of buttons with different sounds, etc. I'm never sure how to set the thing if there is a power outage or a cat trips a button. Simple is good. This is not simple. If you want more than a radio alarm, this may be the digital clock for you.

    Extremely hard to deal with! the directions are very hard to understand, and it is not an easy piece of equipment. By the grace of God, we finally got it to work correctly and we don't know how that happened. Now I can wake up in the morning to music and then set it to wake me at night. Just not easy. the good think about it is small and easy to read at night.

    I actually purchased this radio for a friend that had an unexpected need for a small inexpensive radio while traveling through town in a camper and made an overnight stop-over. I learned later that he had problems with reception and was somewhat disappointed in the sound quality. I have no other information.

    I was looking forward to using the nature sounds as a wake-up. I have yet found how I can set my alarm to use them to wake me. It is nearly impossible to change times or to switch off the alarm. I do not recommend this product in any way shape or form. I can't even set the radio to a decent FM station.

    I like to know what time it is when I wake up in the middle of the night, but if you leave the display lit, it is way too bright in the room even on the "dim" setting. If there were more choices in the store I probably would have returned it. There really wasn't any alternatives so I kept it.

    I would expect much better sound for the price. Very tinny. The olastic feels cheap and the buttons flimsy. I kept it because the wife says it does a good job. If she didn't like it so much, it would go back immediately!!

    This replaced a similar clock alarm radio and it works much better. Has great sounding speaker in a small size. Adjustable light is too bright at night even on dimmest setting.

    The alarm has soothing sounds but it is not loud enough to wake me up on the first alarm. It usually has to go off twice before I wake up. The snooze is either 10 or 20 which is too much for me. I need 5 minnute snooze.

    I like the concepts of this clock/radio but it took me an awfully long time to figure out how to use it. Still don't have it completely figured out. the insructions were written too small for seniors and seniors do not have the technical background or confidence to use something this difficult.
