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.

    Terrible sound quality

    This clock radio has some decent features such as the nature sounds and temperature display. However, the buttons for the radio are small and poorly placed; the blue background digital display is very bright, even when dimmed; and in the dark there is poor contrast between the numbers and the blue background. The sound quality is the killer, though: it sounds as if it comes through a tin can.

    The device works well, good sound and was easy to set up. It is small enough for a nightstand and the lighted numbers are easy to read and are bright with the ability to dim if necessary.

    I was specifically looking for an alarm clock that had nature sounds because I loved it on my last alarm clock. I love this one! It's not as big as you think it is. Easy setup and the clock automatically sets when it's plugged in. Great sound which makes the nature sounds and radio sound great and clear. Best purchase I've made for an alarm clock.

    Looks great BUT is not easy to set-up. Does not hold clock radio settings for alarm clock. Sound is fine but old Sony Time Machine was awesome.

    Nice clock radio with cumbersome alarm setting

    Love the size and display of this clock. Radio is also easy to set up and sounds very good. Back lighting has 3 useful settings and we actually leave it on the brightest setting, since it isn't facing the bed. The only short coming is the alarm set up. You have to repeatedly press the alarm on/off button after each setting entry and if you make a mistake, you can't change anything individually except the time. We got the alarm volume too loud, since it just gives you a number that only has meaning if you have already played with the radio and payed attention to the number when setting the listening volume. The only way to change the alarm volume is to go back through the entire set up for the alarm. Other than that, I would highly recommend this product.

    Bought this to replace and older working radio alarm. I like the DST feature that changes time when Daylight Saving time takes effect. The digital radio tuning is a great feature. I used to have to use the dial and hope I got the right station. Only problem is some of the buttons are a little small and hard to find.

    My husband purchased this for our bedroom, but, neither of us could read the time at night. The bright blue back color with the color of the numbers, was too much alike, I am guessing. We had to take it back and buy a clock with black background and white numbers.

    So far this clock has worked fine for our sons needs.. For the price, I'd expect the sound quality to be a bit better. however its very spooky once he has gone to school to hear voices coming form his room ! I like that it does have a recharger location so it does not kill the kids batteries. The simple headphone cable works great It needs to have an auto off for radio or music so its not on all day and all night when they fall asleep listening to music or leave it on when they go to school :)

    I like the flexibility-knobs/buttons have 2 or more uses. I wish I could choose the # of minutes the snooze is. The one feature I like the best was a surprise...I can either have fully lit display or dim or off...didn't even know it was a feature but I like a dark bedroom for sleeping, I've been using it for a few weeks, other than the snooze, no complaints.
