CD Player with dual Alarm Clock

I bought this radio as a Christmas present for an office mate. I wanted something small and not too expensive since in an office building things can disapear.

I bought this for my husband for our anniversary. He had an old alarm clock that was hard to set. This one is great. Simple to use, to set, to play, everything is marked very clearly.

We can listen to our CD's without having an extra CD player taking up room. I have had no problems with it at all!!
