    Overall, I like it, but it would be nice to control the volume of radio when set to go off at a particular time.

    Love this clock radio. Simple set-up. Looks great on a nightstand. My only reservation is that it would be nice if they made it in black.

    The clock display is soft on my eyes at night and its got 2 brightness settings. The radio sounds good and has 10 presets. I would buy another one.

    It took me 2 days to get the clock up and running. I still don't have the time set correctly on the clock, I just take my best guess as to what the correct time is.

    The clock radio was great, all the advertised functions worked perfectly. Then, 150 days after purchasing (the warranty is only 90 days), it stopped working. Everything but the clock and alarm function just stopped. It wasn't dropped, adjusted or damaged. I knew this wasn't a high-end product, but I did expect it to work for a few years with gentle use.

    I like the clock because of the color. It matches the room and is blue tooth ability.

    I suppose this clock-radio would work, but it was just more complicated than I wanted to deal with. I never did figure out the fine points of operating it, but as I tried to learn, I realized it just does too much for any purpose I'd ever want it for. I'm giving it low ratings because of the complexity. I can't fairly evaluate it for what it is, because I'm too busy condemning it for not being what I want. I like its cuteness, though!

    It was a little hard to figure out how to use - this is for my husband and I don't know how to use it. Most important is that my husband knows how to use it :)

    Cool clock, the only issue is the brightness. Even the low setting is pretty bright at night, so you don't need a night light in your way to the bathroom.

    This is overpriced and cheap. The volume on ours doesn’t work and we are outside the return period by two weeks however it’s only been used once. It looks cool and feels like cheap trash.. and apparently works like it feels. Save your money.
