Stereo CD Player with AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio,

I bought this as a gift for my nine year old daughter. It has been a great purchase. After showing my daughter how to operate the different functions, she has been an independent user. This alarm clock allows my daughter to listen to music on the radio or CD player. She can choose to wake up to music,radio, or buzzer. The size is a plus; it has replaced her oversized radio/multi CD player,which was too bulky and had too many functions. The large #s are easy to read and can be dimmed w/dimmer button. The blue # color is a winner;it is different from the usual red or orange and is her favorite color. The sound quality is great for the product.

even though this radio is cheap, I still expected something, anything, and what I got is an extra bright night light that keeps my gf up, and as a consequence i'm looking for another decent alarm. Did i mention it runs slow for me? It slows about 1 min per day, which is not a good feature in an alarm clock

Don't buy this alarm clock! This CD alarm clock was a huge disappointment for me.
Things I like about this clock:
1. Big snooze button
2. Styling is decent
Things I hate about this clock:
1. Illegible in the dark -- the portions of the display AROUND the numbers are so bright that there isn't enough contrast between the "background" and the numbers. As a result, the numbers are illegible at night.
2. Blindingly bright in the dark -- Even on the "dim" setting, the display will blind you if you try to view it in the dark.
3. The labels for the various alarm settings (on, off, auto, buzzer) are misaligned with the slider switch that controls them. When you adjust the switch to the "on" position, the alarm is actually off. When you adjust the switch to the "off" position, the alarm is actually on "auto", etc. A nightmare.
4. The alarm functions are ridiculously complicated to set. Want to wake up...Read more
