I love this little clock radio! If you follow the instructions carefully, it's quite easy to set up just the way you like it. Some people have complained about the brightness of the display; however, I don't have any problem with it at all. You're given a choice of quite bright (good for reading the clock in daylight), dimmed (good for reading the clock in darkness), and completely off (just black). So if the dimmed setting were too bright to sleep by (which it isn't for me), I would simply set the display to "off" and, if I wanted to check the time during the night, I would just tap the dimmer button and, voila!, there's the display. Tap it again, and the display is dimmed. Tap it once more, and the display is all black again. I also appreciate the small footprint of this clock radio. It doesn't take up nearly as much space as my previous clock radio did. I think this is an excellent product and am very happy I bought it!

I bought this clock after our old one, different brand, stopped working. After reading reviews I was a little worried but purchased it anyway. It was fairly easy yo set up. I did need to follow the directions to set the dual alarms. (Sorry folks, but reading directions is needed! We are so used to things being so automatic that we forget how important directions are.) Anyway, once that was set, things have been great! My only complaint is how bright it is. It is very bright on the second setting. Level one will let up the room, two my side of the room, and three no light at all. I wish there was a level between two and three, but that is a personal preference. It has nothing to do with how well the clock works, etc. I gave it five stars because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. The alarm is loud and can scare the pants off of you! This is my only warning! ðŸ'‚

I was looking for an alarm clock with larger numbers in blue. Most alarm clocks have smaller numbers in red, or sometimes green. But I wanted blue because it's the most pleasant to read in the dark upon waking.

I saw that this was the best seller and met my requirement of blue lighting and larger numbers.

As an added bonus, there's an "arm" on the left side of this that projects the current time onto your ceiling, wall, etc (wherever you aim it). You can opt to not turn the projection on, but I like it. It's great. The projected time is in red. I wish it was blue but not a huge deal.

Also as a bonus, the front display shows the room temperature in either C or F. (There's a small temp probe sticking out of the back of the unit.)

The time sets automatically but you can manually adjust it to.

I saw some bad reviews and was a little worried but I've this for a couple weeks and it's been trouble-free. I'm going to order another one to stick in the closet in case they stop making this (though I'm not sure why they would).

My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to make the projection blue, but it's not enough of a shortcoming to knock a star off the rating.

I found this clock to be overcomplicated. Even after familiarizing myself with the layout, waking to this clock was not pleasant as I have traditionally had a wide, fat snooze button on a clock with a low center of gravity. I've knocked this thing over about twenty times now. Plus, I've discovered that while I thought having the time on the ceiling would be cool, it just pi$$e$ me off now. The characters never seem quite right and if you want to orient the letters so you can read it when you're laying on your back, then you can't see the alarm in the dark room to turn it off. If you're a stomach sleeper, don't even bother. Just keep you're old one. It's a good product. It works. It's does what it's advertised to do. I just thought it would fit my life better.

I ordered two of these to replace my alarm clock and my wife's. When they arrived, they were easy to setup (I only had to adjust the time by about 4 minutes). For the price, it seemed like a nice alarm clock. I like that there are two alarms that can be set to buzz or radio. The menus aren't as intuitive as other clocks, but easy enough to navigate. And the time projection was great.
My wife's clock worked flawlessly out of the box, but mine had a dimmer issue. The display is supposed to have a HI-LOW-OFF dimmer setting, but mine was HI-OFF-OFF, no middle option. Well, the HI can light up a room and the off is more of a negative display (turning the screen black and the numbers a dim white). The LOW on the other unit is good for night time viewing, but mine didn't have that.
I contacted the manufacturer instead of Amazon and they had me try a reset, which didn't work. So they sent me another unit right away. I was please with the customer service and how easy it was to handle this issue.
The day the new one showed up, everything went right; however, the blue display was a different shade of blue than the original my wife had. This not only triggered a minor O.C.D. impulse in me, but also caused me to question the overall consistency and quality control of the manufacturer. But I can overlook that as long as the unit functions, and it did.
No joke, 2 hours later my wife's unit started acting up. The radio was only bringing in static and there was a slight "digital" bleeping sound in the background. I tried adjusting the FM antenna with no luck. Then the alarm refused to be set. The button (pressed once to get into the alarm setting function, then pressed and held to start the set) would only let me see what the alarm was already set to, but not adjust it to a new alarm. Out of frustration, I unplugged it and plugged it back in...and the radio worked! Hooray. Clearly not an antenna or location problem, just something inside failed. But the alarm never regained functioning.

Instead of dealing with getting ANOTHER new one from the manufacturer, I just sent everything back.

Great clock if/when it works...but have two out of three fail in 4 days isn't a good first impression. Congrats to the several thousand people who had 5-Star success...but I'm in the 2-3 star approval range for this product. I've attached photos only to illustrate the dimmer settings of HI-LOW-OFF. The pics were taking with a crappy cell phone camera so I adjusted them to attempt to give a more accurate depiction, hopefully that helps SOMEONE, though my advice is to just buy something else entirely.
