  Good Clock Small Battery September 6, 2008
I like the clock just fine. The battery backup was DOA. So, plan to purchase an extra battery when you get it. Sony Lithium 3V Batteries Size CR2016 (Pack of 5) I think this is the right battery link.
 Very Good Alarm Clock/Radio September 4, 2008
I purchased 3 of these (2 black, 1 white), and they work great. You can set the dual alarms to either radio or buzz. I've tried both, & it woke me & my other family members up, no problem. The radio plays just fine - on alarm setting, you can make it as loud as you want. The buzzer just has a hi/lo setting. We all get very good reception with the radio - I did read in the instructions that the electrical cord also serves as the antennae. So for those having problems with reception, make sure the cord is unraveled all the way. The numbers are nice & large, & there are 3 settings for brightness. I wish the buttons on top were bigger or more distinct - especially the one for turning off the alarm after waking you up. A couple of reviewers said it was really big, but it isn't - it's normal size. They have the clocks at Best Buy & Target for a higher price, but go there to see it for yourself. Also, one of the clock's batteries was dead.
Overall, I'd recommend the clock, it works just fine.
Good alarm clock, but radio sucks August 22, 2008
Small size, light weight, and fine dual alarm. Only problem I faced is when tuning the radio. Most of the stations get mixed up and aren't that clear. They shouldn't have had the antenna inside the wire and the wire needs to be stretched out always, so it may not be feasible depending on how and where you keep the device. Also for the radio to function properly, it needs to be away from cell phones and other such devices that may cause interference. I faced no such problem with the radio when I had a Radioshack alarm clock which I bought for 14 $. Only problem was that it was a little larger and slightly heavier.
The only alarm clock I found where I can adjust the brightness three ways. July 28, 2008
I am so happy that I purchased this alarm clock. It is the perfect size for my nightstand and it has an attractive shape. It is the only alarm clock I found where I can adjust the brightness three ways giving me the perfect amount especially at night. This is also the first alarm clock I've had where as soon as you plug in the alarm clock it gives the exact time without me having to set the time. I just love all the features of this alarm clock.
decent device July 7, 2008
relatively easy to operate, not too bright at night, acceptable tuning, somewhat tinny sounding but plenty clear, and anyway, most tiny speakers are like that. unique time and alarm setting knob simplifies doing that. i'm surprised how many radio alarm clocks still use analog tuners like this one. in these modern times digital tuners should actually cost less than the old style. if it had digital tuning i'd have given 5 stars.
