Customer Review: Easy to operate and see without glass on
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes, simple is best. I like that you can adjust the brightness of the display to such a dim level that its really only visible clearly in the dark. That is perfect for my mate. I used to turn the old alarm clock face down because the light bothered me so much. I also like that the alarms are turned on with dials. It means I can easily find it in the dark. No more fumbling around, trying to find the right button. The volume & type of beep is also great for us. It wakes you up, but isn't jarring. Its actually a pretty pleasant way to wake up. We are quite pleased. I love this clock so much that after buying the first one for myself, I went out and bought one for my daughter & then my husband as well. We have a lot of power outages where we live, so that is why we initially bought it. It does work wonderfully for that, but it also has some other great features.Customer Review: Perfect Alarm Clock

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother to write a review for something as mundane as a clock radio. But I was so pleased with the value it presented that I wanted my vote of 5 stars to be counted.
For starters, even though the price of the item on Amazon is quite low, the product in no way looks cheap. In fact the plastic body seems relatively sturdy. It is easy to operate with clearly labeled buttons for every function. The quality of the radio reception is impressive. And guess what? There is no external antenna hanging around as the antenna is built into the power cord. How ingenious! The display is clear and the item has all the functions that one could possibly want in an alarm clock radio.
I preferred the white model over the blank one because I believe it offers a cleaner look.
Customer Review: Great Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Alarm clocks should last a long time, so I did some research before purchasing a new one. Mine arrived yesterday and so far, I'm very happy with it. The dual alarms are very convenient, and I didn't even realize before buying that it contained the date! As soon as I plugged it in, the correct time showed up, and the date was correct as well when I checked it. I have not opened up the instructions - the buttons are pretty self-explanatory! The radio tuner and volume are easy to use. I live in a concrete structured high-rise apartment, and the reception is great. Personally light doesn't bother me when I'm trying to sleep, so I can't say much as to the brightness of the numbers. They're green and easy on the eyes; if all the lights are off, it is certainly not too bright for me. I recommend this clock!Customer Review: Very good no-frills clock radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a simple clock radio to replace my simple Sony clock radio, which unfortunately got "fried" during a lightning storm. This model seemed like the logical substitute, and it does exactly what I want it to, with no complications. Even though I don't live in the US, it gives me accurate time after power outages (its internal battery works great) and everything is easy to set, with time controls that go up or down -- meaning that if you miss the time when setting it, there's no need to do the whole 24-hour rotation again. Brightness can be controled so that this clock never wakes you up unless it is supposed to. I've had no problems with the alarm volume or any other aspect of this product. It is a great bargain, with a low price and great quality.
