Needed a replacement for an ancient Radio Shack dual alarm. This unit is much smaller, has great reception and is easy to use. I like the separate settings and the choice of radio or buzzer alarms. The large 10 min snooze button is very convenient. On/off is concave/convex but you have to feel around for them in the dark. Don't understand any of the negative comments I have read. I am pretty picky and this unit definitely does the job!

[...] I've used it quite a while without problems. My main purpose for getting this one is because of the dual alarm. I set one alarm (for the morning shift) and the second (midnight shift). I did not have to keep changing the setting for my shift work. I also like the idea of waking up to either a radio or buzzer. I don't like the tuning dials (too sensitive). I was also disappointed about the "tinny" sound...I've had other Sony radios that sounded much better. For my purpose, it was adequate and the price was reasonable.

This clock is takes up little space but offers a load of features. The dual alarms are great & the snooze options offer multiple settings at the push of a button. Easy to operate, good reception, & more than adequate for someone who simply wants a clock radio.

Great little radio/alarm clock. Very easy to use and set up, and the back up battery means it won't reset during a power outage. The 2 alarms make it awesome for those that have a different wake up schedule.

Everything about it is user friendly. The only thing we don't like is that the alarm reset button is inconspicuous. It should be larger and set apart for easier location. Otherwise this is a really great clock.

setting up the alarm is quite simple once you understand the manual. but you need to be attentive for the buzzer to wake you. for me, i placed the gadget very close to my head area in order to make the alarm stir me to get up..

I have to be to work early on Fridays, so the dual alarm is helpful. Unlike the multi alarm on my cell phone, I'll have to remember to turn off alarm "A" (Monday-Thursday) and turn on alarm "B" (Friday)
Setup was easy. Just set the time zone and your done.
