This is a good alarm clock that doubles as a am/fm radio plus it can charge your phone or other rechargeable devices that require a usb charger. The clock numbers are large and bright so they are legible across a room. This is the second similar clock radio I have purchased and I must say I really like the usb charging port but do wish the backup battery were double aa or triple aaa cells instead of the CR2025 button cell.

This clock is really great it has the option for two alarms and you see the time clearly since it's illuminated. Also you can listen to the radio and choose the alarm sound or the radio to come on instead when you set your alarm.

Failed radio and alarm functions -- DO NOT BUY!

Not a good purchase! Radio quality is terrible -- FM radio sounds like you're driving through a tunnel in a 1970s era Buick. Intermittent pseudo-clarity then static. The alarm worked for four days then on the fifth, it didn't go off at all. At that point I checked the radio and it also didn't work, until I unplugged the device and let it power down. The backup battery also did not keep the time or alarm settings -- it all had to be input again. Of course all this happened after the two week return window so I'm stuck with a nonworking alarm/radio. Only saving function is the time seems accurate -- so far. Wish I had learned from other reviewers and avoided this clock/radio!

My old electric clock with no radio stop working. I was looking for a replacement so I clicked on my Best Buy app. I saw this electric clock and radio by Best Buy. The old clock had a red light numbers display no radio. The Best Buy electric clock and radio had a nice green light display. Plus volume control and the radio sounded good. The price was right and I purchased it.

These clocks have are as good as day one. I like that there are levels of dimness if you prefer it. They are space saving but easily readable from across a room. Large digital numbers.

Love the huge, bright numbers (& that brightness can be adjusted according to personal preference) that can be easily read from bed without glasses. Love that it is user friendly, has 2 alarms, has battery backup, & can be used to charge my iPhone or iPad. It is a good value for the money.

My old clock radio died, and I wanted a replacement. I wanted dual alarm, a big display, and digital tuning. This combination seems to be rare. I was going to skip over this item because it was too cheap, $20 on sale for $15. But I couldn't find anything that seemed better. I could return it if I didn't like it.
I'm actually happy with it, although it's missing a few features I had grown used to: automatic time set and daylight savings adjustments, ability to set the alarm for just weekdays or just weekends or all days. But I can live without those features.
On the plus side, the big numbers are easy to read from across the room, and you can adjust the brightness for daytime and night. My previous clock radio was too dim to read except in a dark room even at maximum brightness.
Setup was fairly easy, but a bit clumsy. You have to be careful to distinguish between tapping and holding a button. For the first few days I had to keep the instructions handy until I learned the sequences for turning the radio on and off, finding the presets, turning the alarm on and off, and setting time and alarm.
The ergonomics could be better: a bunch of same-sized buttons in a row across the top -- except for the big snooze button, which also silences the alarm. Finding the right button when half-asleep in the dark is challenging, but doable.
Because of the layout of my night stand and electrical cords, the clock radio tends to fall to the hardwood floor occasionally. This one looks less robust than my previous ones, so I'm trying harder not to knock it off the stand. I don't know how many falls this one would survive.
You don't expect particularly good sound from a clock radio, but this one is not bad. The sound is better than my previous clock radios.
Overall, I recommend this clock radio if your requirements are similar to mine.

Radio Tuning Issues

I needed a new alarm clock, and gave this one a try due to the inexpensive price. Upon first pulling it out of the box I thought the product seemed cheaply made. I really like the big numbers on the clock making it easy to read. I also enjoyed the radio each morning while getting ready for work. However the radio has quickly developed an issue. Doesn't matter what station you listen to, it plays normally for a couple of minutes then goes to static. When on static, you can tune to any other radio station and it's static. Turn it off, then turn it back on the radio will play fine. Then after a couple minutes the same thing happens where it's static. I am very disappointed in the product, and plan to return the clock radio.

It is an alarm clock. You can set it and it wakes you up. Easy to set. You have a choice of music or buzzer and can set two alarms. My old alarm clock let you wake to music first and then buzzer after 10 minutes. That is the only thing i wish it did. I like that the time has giant numbers I can read without my glasses. Great if all you want is something to wake you up without any bells or whistles.

Bought it for my son. Radio will never be used. Alarms volume can be adjusted for each alarm separately. The buzz alarm will start quite and increase in volume every beep, which is nice as he can shut it off before waking anyone else in the house if set to the max. Very easy to setup. The green numbers are nice and has two brightness settings

Like that I can set 2 different alarm times; weekdays vs weekends. Numbers are big and easy to see in the middle of the night. Alarm starts soft then gets louder; if you snooze it starts loud so you know it’s time to get up.

All I wanted was a simple and easy to operate alarm clock. I didn't need all kinds of extra functions that I'll never use that requires a multi-page instruction booklet written by people who will never use the product. I bought this clock hoping it would be what I wanted. It was. Lord be praised. The numbers are large and bright and the wakeup time is easy to set and turn off upon waking. The radio works just fine so I can listen to news as I'm getting ready to go to work. It has a USB connection so I can charge my phone while it's handy next to the bed. Great job, Best Buy!!

I bought 3 of the kinds like this but throw away already. This one much better from the size of numbers to the brightness and easy to set up; beside, the back up battery helps a lot when power is out. I don't need for waking me up so alarm is not a big deal.

Nice large, bold Green numbers.
Battery backup. Which is great as we have many power outages in our area.
Only issue is that the alarm is a bit hard to turn off and when the power goes out,it resets the alarm to on.
Doesn't bode well at midnight when you are asleep and it goes off.
And it's loud.
The radio is nice as well.
I am considering purchasing a few more for other rooms in my house.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

This little clock met my requirements of dual alarm with batter backup if the power goes out. Was fairly easy to set up but I have trouble just turning the radio on. If I don't hit the power just right, I keep going between AM/FM settings. The sound is clear but 'tinny". I like that the screen can be dimmed. Overall it meets my needs and hopefull I'll get better at using it as time goes by.

The numbers on the front are extremely easy to read. The directions for setting the alarm are very confusing. It is a nice feature that 2 separate alarms can be set. The volume of the buzzer is not loud enough. This compact clock radio can fit in a very small space. The buttons on top for on/off, volume, etc are easy to use. Due to the difficulty in understanding the alarm directions, I deducted one star. the price was very reasonable . Ordered on line and it was delivered quickly.

This works very well for Us. Three levels on brightness for the numbers. Bright, dim and then dimmer. Dual alarm setting which makes it nice. Also has a back up battey in case the power goes out, A little hard for Us to set up but once you figure it out it's good.
