Nice display, but terrible radio,

Quite near-sighted, I enjoy the large display especially at night when not wearing my glasses. However, the radio reception stinks on this unit. It can't pick up local stations that I used to get on the 10 year clock I had previously.

RUNAWAY CLOCK,

What do you do with a clock that keeps advancing one minute each second? That's what happens when I use the "sleep" feature. Then, to correct the time, you have to press the time button through 24 hours...and if you over-correct...OOPS...press another 24 hours. There is no backward time adjustment. It's not cost-effective to send it back for replacement...so I just cannot use the "sleep" feature. Otherwise, the large display is great for us myopics. The radio is very adequate, and the alarm is LOUD! I like the radio...I just wish I was able to fall asleep to music.

It's a clock,

The display on this thing is great, very clear and large enough to see from anywhere. The radio isn't the best but big deal it's a clock radio! The alarm buttons are more difficult to get to than on an average alarm clock making it an effectie wake up system seeing as it's difficult to turn the alarm off when you're drowsy. As an alarm clock it works great.
