Pros: Large display, blue background, press top button for illumination during the night, snooze alarm, keeps good time, built-in thermometer.
Cons: A bit bulky, alarm function unreliable.
When I first received this alarm clock via mail and was checking out the features, I discovered the alarm function was not working. I could tell the alarm was going off by looking at the flashing alarm icon on the display, but there was no audible alert.

Clock is supposed to be loud for the hearing impaired. It is. Only problem is the loudness is high pitched and most people, myself included, that need a loud alarm have trouble hearing high pitches. Fortunately my wife hears it. But it will be replaced when I find another one.
Otherwise is a good clock with good features.
