(5 out of 5) by J. Milliken on Feb 8, 2007I am very pleased with this clock. I can not receive any radio on it for some reason, but that wasn't my purpose for it anyway. If you dislike being blasted out of your sleep by a loud unyeilding alarm clock..like me, then you will love this clock.
One of the best features is the grad-u-wake feature that gradually increases the volume of the buzzer alarm so you aren't woken so ubruptly. At first glance I thought the snooze button was in an awkward place, however once you get used to it; you'll find it is big and easy to hit when you are sleepy. No more searching for the snooze or memorizing button positions.
The display is bigger than usual, but most definitely clear and easy to read. The unit itself is very sleek with that polished black look. Also, there is a dimmer switch so you can adjust the brightness of the digits according to your preference.
But what gets the complete all-star rating.. and puts the icing on the top is the auto-reset feature. If you're anything like me you probably hold on to your closk for a long time before replacing it.. and my old clock didn't have this. With this clock there is no need to remember to reset it for the following day, it will go off same time every day unless you intentionally cut it off. And even then you're only having to remember to set it once after the weekend versus 5 times or more a week.
There's just nothing bad to say about this clock. Really.

I can see clearly.... the station numbers
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 14, 2003Need to change the clock back an hour for Daylight Saving Time?
This feature packed clock radio will let you go BACK that hour simply by pressing the reverse button instead of having to go 23 hours foward like many clock radios.
The gradual volume increase for the wake alarm is a neat feature and the Nap feature can be set from 10 minutes to 2 hours in 10 minute increments.

Other features: Wake to music or alarm
Sleep mode from 1 minute up to 2 hours
Snooze duration from 1 minute to 30 minutes
Battery back-up
And of course tuning into your favorite radio station is easy as reading 101.7 on the large LED numbers.
