This is a fine product with only two drawbacks: First, the directions are incomplete and you have to figure out the clock's features by trial and error; Second, the display is quite bright but only has on/off, not a "dim" feature. There is a "dim" feature but it only affects the lights that show the alarm(s) are set.
Sound quality is about average for a clock radio. This is an attractive and functional clock radio. The set-up instructions are a bit confusing, but once they are understood the unit works fine. Both AM and FM reception are good. I would recommend it.
Great clock in a nice looking package, but I could not get used to the display. Could be the display numbers are a little too small or maybe a font that is not easily read at a quick glance. I could not adjust the dimmer to a brightness that was comfortable to live with. It was either too bright and would light up the room or too dim and could not see the numbers. Anyway, I was disappointed enough that I did return the unit. Amazons return policy is outstanding, no questions asked and I had my refund in a little over a week.
Radio works great. Couldn't get radio stations tuned in with other radios, this one the signal is clear.
Good once it got up and running, but it took a while to get there. While it's searching for the signal the display freaks out, so don't worry.Contrary to other reviews, you CAN change the brightness of the display using the knob on the underside of the clock, and you can toggle between the set brightness and full by pushing the light button.The alarm and radio systems are great. The alarm begins softly enough for me to wake up without disturbing my partner. Then, plug it in and WAIT. The radio comes in loud and clear.The manual stinks. I have started up the clock from scratch a couple of times now, and each time it has taken at least 5 mins for the atomic clock to register. The first thing you should do upon opening the box is set your time zone using the switch on the underside of the clock. The buzzer alarm ("humane waking system") is perfect for me because I have an early morning job and a partner who's a light sleeper.
This most recent time it took several hours. However, once it locks on it's there to stay, it seems. The alarm scheduling is great because it means I don't have to worry about setting it M-F. Its step-by-step instructions are lacking greatly in detail, and in some cases it misses steps.
