Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I hated to return this radio. It has some fantastic features. This is the clock radio I want. Except it's cheaply made is some areas that turn the best clock radio on the planet into an epic fail. The good. The features are great. Dual alarms. Nice sound. An excellent strategy for the backlight (the plague of modern clock radios) which lets you change it very easily from the snooze bar. Dual alarms. Even a battery backup! The bad? An incredibly cheap radio tuner that couldn't even bring in a local station with a transmitter 8 miles from our home. My requirements on a clock radio are pretty minimal, but hearing my Morning Edition is one of them. The CD player also seems cheaply made and when we went to sleep to it, we woke up in the middle of the night to the click click click sound of the CD transport. While the snooze bar was a wonderful and functional large bar that doubles to easily turn down the backlight, to actually turn off the alarm requires accessing a fairly small button on the side. Our nightstand is a bit above the level of the bed and the display is only visible from straight on or above. As I said, on paper this is everything I could have asked for, but it had a couple of problems that left us not only dissatisfied, but returning it.
