" ... So it will not only jolt you awake, it will do the same to anyone else in the room. ... "
" ... The instructions are ridiculously complex. ... "
" ... The layout of the controls is neither good, nor very intuitive. ... "
" ... As a retired compliance engineer, I am very surprised and disappointed. ... "
" ... Basically it is useless in my rural area. ... "
" ... No power failure has occurred to my knowledge, yet all the control buttons have quite working ... Exception, when resetting, the unit goes through initiation and all buttons respond to input. ... Once initiation is complete the buttons no longer are operable. ... "
" ... Even the radio volume dial appeared to require enablement through a bunch of different menu items, finalized by the need to hit a "standby" button which didn't exist. ... "
" ... The directions were terrible, very complicated without proper direction and even on-line directions did not help. ... "

" ... very good product once it is set up,but it can be difficult to set up.also when alarm goes off facceplate becomes too bright. ... "
" ... This radio uses the Atomic clock to keep it set to the correct time and it also has a feature that lets me disable the auto time change. ... "
" ... Yes when the alarm goes off the light gets very bright but hey your supposed to be getting up anyway and it sure lets you see around to get to the room light. ... Once you get the adjustments set to your preference this is an awesome alarm clock radio. ... "
" ... This is my second Sangean clock radio and I will look for this brand whenever I need to. ... "
" ... It's a good basic clock radio with some extra features. ... and alarms is simple, didn't even need the instructions for that. ... "
" ... This alarm clock is pretty, well made, I like the blue background you can adjust the brightness. ... "
" ... I love this alarm clock. ... It's an excellent upgrade from my old alarm that I bought in 2013. ... I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade their old alarm clock and wants one that has a lot of radio features with AM & FM, multiple alarms, and an option to still listen to music on your phone if you're ok with the auxiliary cord plug-in option as opposed to wireless bluetooth. ... "
" ... I love the adjustable of the alarm which makes it impossible for me to sleep through the alarm. ... If there ever was a near-perfect alarm clock and radio, the Sangean is it! ... "

" ... It's a good basic clock radio with some extra features. ... "
" ... This is very useful at night when you want to really dim the light. ... "
" ... I had turned off the DST but left the auto adjust on so it kept turning it back on So it got me up an hour early for work today. ... "
" ... I am still getting used to the clock and I am discovering new, awesome features every day. ... "
" ... While I can not find another clock on the market that is reasonably priced and compares in features to this clock I will have to settle for something else as this issue seems to be an ongoing problem with Sangean. ... "
" ... WAS a nice radio with good features. ... A good range of presets, sleep and doze features. ... "
" ... Also once you figure out all the features they are pretty easy to use. ... "
" ... Features are well designed. ... "

" ... The display was good but having a twisty dial underneath to adjust the overall brightness struck me as annoying at best because if you wanted to adjust it with lights off is a bit difficult. ... "
" ... Even when I turn down the display light adjuster on the bottom, it is still too bright for bedroom at night. ... "
" ... It takes a lot to keep me awake, but to make the display dim enough to not be distracting, it has to be made so dim that it is unreadable during the day. ... "
" ... That is when the display would darken some and the words "POWER FAIL" would take over the display with the word FAIL flashing for some 20 to 30 seconds. ... Following this message the time would display but a battery symbol with a slash through it would begin to flash in the upper left corner of the display. ... "

" ... it is a well-made product with good sound. ... I like to soft "on" when the alarm is triggered, slowly bring up the volume, whether set to radio or buzzer. ... "
" ... I have a hearing problem and I really like the sound on this radio. ... It has good volume and nice fidelity. ... The option of being able to go to sleep listening to one channel with the sound at a nice comfortable level and then waking up with the radio alarm on a different channel with a different sound level is one of the nicest features of this clock radio. ... I tried several other radios to replace my old one but the sound on them left a lot to be desired and I had to return them. ... "
