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.
My previous clocked died and searched for a suitable replacement. My previous had a CD player and stereo speakers. I didn't use or need the CD player. The features that are important are AM/FM and multi-alarm features. This clock had those features. The radio reception is good even on AM. The sound is a little disappointed. It's a single small speaker so much different than the stereo sound I had been accustomed. The size and display are nice. Doesn't take up much real estate and the display offers different brightness. Weekend and weekday alarms are possible along with different options to wake up to. The snooze button is in a good location and large enough to hit without having to search or look at it. Alarms allow for adjustment of the loudness of tones and radio as well as the lengths of snoozes. This alarm clock serves its purpose I prefer an alarm clock over using smartphone or other options and radio reception is an important feature and this was an acceptable option after searching various brands and models. It does not have any smart phone (or more specifically iPhone) dock options although you can connect a phone to the clock through a cable. The speaker on the phone is much better than in this clock. I would prefer a better speaker and sound and the price was a little high for what I expected but many lower prices models doesn't offer an AM radio option only FM. More expensive come more with iPhone docking options than Android so models that cater to iPhones do not appeal to me. Depending on the features that are important to you this little clock is acceptable.

What I love: - slim model that doesn't take up much space - nature sounds - multiple alarms What I don't love: - alarm reset button is hard to find (I end up turning the alarm off and back on to reset) - blue light (blue lights can interfere with sleep patterns, should've been an orange backlight) - too bright (even the dimmed selection is too bright for me)

The natures sounds are nice, can't go wrong with dual alarms and battery back up. The set setting function is a plus but the best feature is the fact that you can turn the light off completely if lights bother you. A few seconds before the alarm goes off the light comes on and most mornings that's enough to wake me up! Love this clock. I shopped and compared for about 8 months until I finally decided on this model. Very happy.
