A bit complex to setup but generally all around OK
It takes careful reading to setup the clock radio correctly and I tend to forget a required detail after a year. The numerous buttons are hard to press in the dark.
The CD plays well and I did plug in a 3 speaker PC system for the additional sub woofer capacity.

Useless!!
Twenty buttons, folks. Plus a dial on the side. You basically have to memorize the function of twenty tiny , poorly named and poorly marked buttons and then be able to fumble your way through complicated sequences in the dark morning or sleepy bedtime.
Three buttons just to set the alarm time. then another to chose what noise you'll wake up to. This same button also doubles as the button to disable the alarm if you take a day off and want to sleep in. Then in the morning, you have the snooze button, which is the only button larger than an M&M. Then, when you're done snoozing, you have to fumble around in the dark trying to find the button that shuts it off til the next morning. But if you want to turn it all the way ... Read More
I really like this radio
I actually bought 2 of these at the same time about a year and 1/2 ago. (1 for me and 1 for a gift) We both love the product. My favorite featurs: headphone jack, weekend sleeper, ability to set 2 awake times (as I usually don't have to be at work as early as my husband) and the fact the alarm quietly wakes me up. I haven't had to be 'scared' awake since I've gotten this. The only small dis-like I have is it doesn't seem to have a battery backup for when the power is out more than 3 minutes. We have had times when the power was out longer than this and I have to reset everything but that's a very 'minor' dislike. My husband uses his cell phone as a back up so there's a very easy 'work around" for me.
Great alarm clock, if a little confusing...
Great little clock! It's a little confusing to enable/disable the alarm and still keep the alarm you've set- radio/buzzer/CD. But still great.
