I ordered this clock radio with the motivation of the words "Soothing Sound Therapy." I listened to the soothing sounds and they were not soothing! The two sounds or music (one for making you sleep and another for making you wake) were not pleasant. Parts of the sounds(music) sounded horrible, like a dull, broken record. The dial radio tuning is hard to turn, so the stations are hard to pinpoint. The clock setting buttons are on the bottom of the unit, so you have to hold it in your hand. The one speaker is at the back of the unit. Also, it is manufactured by SDI Technologies, a licensee of Zenith Electronics, not Zenith itself. And there was no picture of this new product. But it does look decent and cute. It does set the clock automatically, although it is by time zone. Also it has a cool lime green backlit lcd display (good in the dark) of the time with date and week only, it would be better if the radio tuning was on the lcd screen, too. It has a lithium back up battery, but it also requires AC power and 3 AA batteries (lithium backup). It has Bass boost and 2 alarms and a clear welcome message that tells the features when you press the snooze button. There is a 1 year warranty. Overall, I think it is a ok clock radio.

There were several problems with this clock/radio. The first being it is very hard to set up. It said that it comes set with time and date but mine didn't. The soothing sounds are strange noises, not soothing. And... the worst part is that I cannot read the time at night. The time is in black with a light in the background and is impossible to read from any distance. I was disappointed in this product. The clock really looks nice but is not practical!
