I never purchased an alarm clock with so many features. My main goal of purchasing it was due to the CD player - my husband still enjoys CDs. Took a few tries to set the dual alarm and the buttons could be a little bigger for us seasoned people and our vision, but overall a great addition to our master bedroom.

I bought this for my mother so she can play her CDs it has excellent speakers along with the FM AM radio and an alarm clock with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities the light is bright enough that my mom can see it from one side of the room to the other very excellent unit would recommend that to anyone who is looking for a CD player

I bought this item because I prefer to wake up to music rather than rude alarms or the blathering of the morning zoo crew with weather and traffic together. Unfortunately, the CD player would not work from the first try. It spins and spins and spins. And gives up. [Please see update below.]

According to the manual (written by people who no have English good much), there was supposed to have been a piece of plastic that needed to be removed from over the CD player's eye; I never found one. Perhaps this was a returned unit?

Otherwise, I like that there are three brightness settings, four if you count turning the display completely off. The dimmest setting is plenty bright enough for bedroom use; the brightest can be used to signal ships at sea.

The phone recharger works well, and the radio is okay. I don't expect great sound quality from a bedside clock, so I wasn't disappointed. If you want great sound quality, look elsewhere; this unit is perfectly adequate.

There is a USB port, which can play .mp3 files if you have any files that old. It does not play files in more recent formats.

[UPDATE:] The folks at Gelielim contacted me after reading this review, and after some conversation between us offered to send me a replacement unit. It arrived sooner than expected, and this one DID have the protective CD cover that was missing from the first one. This time, the CD player worked just fine, including as the alarm function this morning.

We tested the CD in the first unit just to confirm that it still wouldn't play CDs; yes, the problem was with the first player, not the CD.

We also found that when we stopped the CD in the new player to try it in the first player, then put it back in the replacement and hit play, the CD resumed play at the point where it had stopped. Interesting.

One suggestion I would make to them is to include in the operator's manual how to turn the audio device off after use. Each of the buttons performs more than one function, depending what audio device or program is active, and whether you press the button quickly or hold it down. The on/off button's other function is to switch from one audio input to the next.

Does everything I want, while also providing decent sound for music!
