I wanted a red lighted radio because it is not as bright as the green. I was also wanted Radio wake option. The problem I found with this radio is it is hard to get the tuner to stay on the station and the station. So I worried every night "would the alarm hold the station and wake me or should I turn the annoying alarm sound on?"

The buttons cover all the features necessary for most needs, but I would have liked to have had a touch turn off button as apposed to a switch. It is hard to find and work when your just waking up.

Good points are it was a good price, there is a backup battery availability, snooze, red lighted.
