Works as advertised. Good FM reception (with antenna extended and sound. Internet radio is easy to set up, at least with DSL plug in, have not tried wireless yet. Internet radio reception is pretty good. Stations organized by genre, country, etc. Good selection. With remote.

Comments about Aluratek AIRMM02F Internet Radio Alarm Clock With Built-in Wi-Fi:
I was concerned about the sound since it is used in a kitchen with a ceramic tile floor. I thought it would be tinny sounding. It sounds great, not a ton of base but I have other receivers that can do that.
I did have to fuss with the fm antenna a bit but once it was placed right the fm sounds great too. Highly recommended.

For the size of the unit the sound is fairly good but I couldn't get it to work wireless as it wouldn't connect. I spent hours on the phone with there tech's and I changed every setting on my router to no avail. I ended up sending it back.

Comments about Aluratek AIRMM02F Internet Radio Alarm Clock With Built-in Wi-Fi:
like I said on title, it does the work, not so much more than that. I mean it's not so user-friendly. It takes a lot of time to understand how it works and to get used to it.

Comments about Aluratek AIRMM02F Internet Radio Alarm Clock With Built-in Wi-Fi:
As an internet radio, the AIRMM02F is fine. The reception seems pretty good, easy to find stations and add them to favourites list.
Being able to find stations on your PC and save them into the player (once you've logged in using your radio's MAC address) is neat.
The user interface on the player is a bit clunky - it takes four selections from power up to get to a station. What I want on the bedside table is a one push preset so I can quickly select from a small number of favourites. The AIRMM02F has FM radio capability (which works well) but you can't have a favourites list that mixes Internet and FM stations: you have to change the whole mode to get to a different station.
As an alarm clock, the user interface is really clunky. Without the Preset Station buttons, and without a simple sleep button function (i.e. play for 60 minutes and then turn off) it can't replace my existing FM Radio alarm clock so I now have both on the bedside cabinet.
You really do need to use the remote control. Supposedly you can do everything just with the dial/push control, but it is not intuitive.
The design could be improved markedly with a few more buttons on the main unit.
As an internet receiver for a home system or in the kitchen etc this would be fine. It doesn't work for me as a replacement Alarm Clock, just because of the difficult user interface.
