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.

The light in the display is too bright and you can't see the time without getting up close to it. The light can be dimmed but you still can't see the time. The time should be brighter than the background light.

I like that the temperature is available. It is complicated as to how to use different functions. Must keep referring to instructions. The dial is too bright.

What more is there to say? It has a nice big display I can see without my glasses. It is loud and obnoxious enough to wake me up at 0-dark-30.

I needed an alarm clock and this fit the bill for an affordable price. I like having 2 alarms and the choice between weekdays and weekends.

This radio alarm has many features. I would use more of them if I could figure them out. Not sure if I got a box that had been opened before, but there was no instructions included in the one I purchased. Buttons are raised making it easier to find them in the dark. Has a nice variable light that can be reduced for total darkness. Would love to use the 'weekday only' alarm set up, but haven't figured out how to set that yet.

I returned this clock because it was too bright for the bedroom, even on the lowest setting it lit up the room. This would be a nice clock if used somewhere that you didn't need to be dark.

I purchased this radio mainly for its small size. I like to be able to carry it from place to place. The controls are clear and everything seems to work well. My only disappointment is that sound is very small and tinny. I have heard tiny speakers that are much better.

Confusing setup, and so far the power has not gone out so I don't know if the battery backup works. It has lots of nature sounds, for whatever reason I don't know. I use the radio to wake up. period. I do not like the fact that if you listen to a radio station during the day, that changes the station for the alarm. There may be a way to change that, but the directions were so confusing I'm not going to investigate. I do like the fact that there are multiple AM and FM presets.

I enjoyed this alarm clock while staying in my Vegas Suite. It's compact and full of features that relax you to sleep with pre-loaded nature sounds that have multiple time setting. The blue back lit display is adjustable for brightness, sound quality of the alarm and music (radio or from audio input connection) is remarkable. You will enjoy each time to sleep or wake to this unique electronic.

The clock overall is great. The only negative aspect of the clock is that when the backlight is on, it's really bright making it hard to sleep. I would rather the numbers glow.

First of all - READ THE DIRECTIONS before you start fooling with the setup. I didn't do this & had to set the time - if I had read directions, this wouldn't have been necessary. My power tends to go out frequently, so this has saved me being late getting up in the morning several times.
