I see this item is no longer for sale on Amazon.com, and I can only hope it's discontinued.

The alarm and clock seem to work reliably, but every function - whether it's setting the clock, the alarm, or just turning the alarm off - requires a long, several-button-pushing process that's not intuitive whatsoever. To set the alarm you have to press the alarm button twice, then press the "set" button, then use the minute/hour hands to set it, then press the "set" button again. Most clocks simply have a switch you can throw, then set the alarm, then move the switch back. And good luck shutting the alarm off - you have to press the alarm button twice *while the alarm is going off* to shut it down. There is just a bunch of arbitrary button pushing to do functions that should be much simpler.

The only positive I can find is that the alarm has a volume gradient, so it starts quietly and then gradually increases in loudness until you hit snooze. If you see this for sale, I'd avoid it, and spend a little more on a better designed model.

Don't get me wrong. It looks nice, the radio sounds fine, but who in the world would design a clock radio that shows the radio station you're tuned to NOT THE TIME?!! It's in my office and I listen to the radio, but I can't just glance up and see what time it is - no - that would be too easy. I have to turn the radio off so it will return to the time. Then I turn the radio back on so I can repeat the process ten minutes from now. The other reviewer gave a great list of other problems, but this was the one I found to be the worst. Audiovox - pull your head out!
