Well,I got one;o.k. it has taken the best part of a month to do so,but now it has finally arrived,I want to tell you that it is a good little critter for the money. I've had it for one whole day now and I have tested all of the facilities on the machine.All are working and are good. I like the clock display and the three brightnesses,I was perplexed about the automatic time setting though because it constantly was four minutes fast,never mind though because the manual setting facility is fine,and the clock is easily set with accuracy and after one whole day there is no difference in the accuracy level.I like the ease by which the radio is switched on and off and for my purpose the machine is the ideal size.The radio sounds good for a small mono speaker and the tuning is easy although there are no station pre-sets.I like the grey colour of the unit,the advertising photograph is clear and illustrates the actual colour.It is sufficiently heavy enough so as not to slide about too much when it is sited on the bedside table.It has two alarms and each alarm may be set on either buzzer mode or radio mode.SO,for this price I am happy with this model.

All I needed from an alarm clock radio.
My first purchase on Amazon. Great price, looks fine, easy to work & works well, keeps time, has every function a radio alarm clock could have, great for those days you need a little extra sleep - set to your choices. I find the display just right - no problems with brightness. Sits steady on a bedside table. Radio tunes in well & sounds fine: not meant to replace a quality stereo. Delivered on time and packaged well.My only grumble is that on set up, the "weak battery" green indicator light was lit. I contacted Amazon (excellent customer service) thinking they would post me a new battery and they sent a new radio alarm clock out to me! I got an email where I could print off return labels & post the old product back free of charge, and the new one was dispatched first class & free of charge - Great!However, I encountered exactly the same problem. So, I purchased some Sony batteries (those recommended in the manual) from Amazon, which arrived the next day. Would you believe it, the first one I tried didn't work, so I tried another and it worked fine. I then noticed a very slight difference in the thickness of the batteries - which it appears has had an effect on their ability to make contact? I then tried all the other previous batteries again, including the one originally installed, and they all work now! (I tested the back up alarm sytem). Strange, so not sure what went on there? I can only assume that it was related to the contacts in the battery compartment in the alarm clock radio?Anyway, all is fine now and I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend the product fully. The 4 stars were given because of the battery hassle, otherwise for the money I would have given a rating of 5 stars.Sony CR2032 3V Lithium Batteries ( 5 Pack)
