Customer Review: well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this radio from the start, but the longer I own it the more I appreciate it. The controls are simple once you understand how they work, although you do need to take the time to read the owner's manual, and the display is clear and easy to read.
It has a number of features that I really like, such as the layout on top of the radio of the switches that operate the radio. From right to left they are the "off" button, the "on" button, and the "sleep" button. If you press the "sleep" button it turns the radio on for a designated time and then turns itself back off so you can listen to music as you go to sleep and not worry about it staying on all night. The buttons are small, but the thing that orients you to which control you're touching is the fact that the off button is concave. Once you find that button the rest is easy. Another detail I appreciate is that if you make use of the "sleep" button and then change your mind and want to turn the radio off, all you have to do is press the big "snooze" bar along the top front and the radio turns off.
Additionally, I really appreciate the fact that this clock sets itself according to the time zone you indicate you're in, then when the semi-annual time changes come around it automatically resets and an indicator light lets you know it's done so.
The volume control and the station finder are not as convenient, neither is the sound the greatest in the world, but it is just a little, inexpensive alarm clock, so I can forgive it for these inadequacies.
The bottom line, quite literally here, is that this item is well worth its price and you really can't go wrong buying it.
