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.

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.

It’s cheap. It tells time well, and that’s about it. The radio is mediocre. The alarm should be intuitive but it’s not. There are two alarms as a positive. Setting the volume for the alarm, I try to use the radio, is somewhat problematic. The instructions are too brief. It took me multiple tries with the alarm failing to go off or at the wrong volume. By anything else.

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.

Awkward clock/radio

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased this clock/radio about 4 weeks ago for both features. It was very reasonably priced and looks fine. It is an appropriate size to fit on any night table. The clock's digits are a good size for when you take a look over it during the night and can be dimmed to your liking. The price and clock are the reasons I gave it 2 stars, but the radio is awkward to work and not intuitive and the instructions are not helpful at all. I have owned several clock/radios over the years, but the operating of this radio makes no sense at all. It is made in China which may explain the why the operating logic of the radio is so messed up. I would not recommend this item to either a friend or family.

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.

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!!

Radio Tuning Issues

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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.

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.

Nice looking item though does feel light and flimsy. Large screen so easy to view. Ease of control functions once identified or manual read (which most don’t care to do. Myself included!). Radio reception is worst than melted ice cream. Price on point though and if time and alarm/sleep modes are essential to your lifestyle, then this item is for you.

Sound quality is not great but about as expected from a small light weight clock radio. Time set and tuning are as simple as other radios. Has wall adapter rather than direct AC. Large green display is easy to read without glasses. Overall adequate for what i needed

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.

Nice Clock But Didn't Last Long

I've owned this clock radio since the latter part of June. It has a wonderful clock when it's set to bright. The small backup battery costs less than 9volt. But the radio won't come on when I hold the on button down as it should. It displays AM/FM channels but no sound comes out. I tried unplugging and plugging it back in but then AM 1410 froze on the screen and I couldn't get the clock back on. Most likely this clock radio is defective. I am very disappointed in this product. Usually, Best Buy store brand electronics are better than this.

I got a new cable box, and suddenly needed a clock I could see from across the room, often in the dark. The numbers on this one are large and clear, and I love that it has different brightness levels. It’s a perfect “old-fashioned” clock radio without all the extra fuss.
