Nice little radio clock
This is a nice little clock radio, and it is little! It’s a SmartSet, and as soon as I plugged it in, it set the date and time, including the correct time zone, and it was accurate. I like the blue numbers. They’re just right, not too bright. The radio definitely isn’t stereo, but the sound is coming from the little box clock, so that’s what to expect. The buttons on top are smooth, so dust can’t get in. It’s rather simple and easy to use, so I think it’s a good product for the price. It’s perfect for me to use at home.

Excellent price for a great clock
I had a simple bedside radio alarm clock since 2017 and it was not really working very well for awhile. So I set out to search for something similar and this hit the mark and was a great price to boot. The numbers are bright and easy to see even when I’m not wearing my glasses. I love the dual alarms so I can have one for weekdays and the other for weekends. My old alarm clock still had a dial to set the radio station so it was never perfectly set. I love that this one is set with buttons and you can set the station 100% accurately. It is easy to set up the clock and alarms, I love it.

Close to perfect!
Number are bright and legible. Radio has very good sound, controls easy to work and the clock resets if the electricity goes off or if the plus is taken from the wall. What would have made the radio perfect would have been the ability to store multiple radio stations besides one AM and one FM, but we knew and accepted that limitation before we made the purchase.

Nice clock but alarm doesn’t work
Unfortunately I can only give this three stars because the alarm stopped worked very soon after I got the clock. I checked and reset it several times but it just doesn’t go off. The radio works well, and I like that the clock face which is analog is very big and bright, possibly too bright for some people but you can adjust it and I like using it as a night light so it works for me. There’s an additional light around the rim on the bottom which can be manipulated to show different colored light which might be an attractive feature to some people especially kids but I don’t use it.

Great item for the size.
I use this as a calming tool for my guinea pig while I am at work. No static, very clear

Sets Itself and Gets the Job Done
I was impressed that this clock set itself automatically—after selecting my time zone, it handled the rest. Even after unplugging and plugging it back in, it always reset to the correct time without issue.Setting up to two separate alarms is simple, and I love that you can choose either a standard alarm or music for each one. The display shows not just the time, but also the day, month, and year, which is handy.The included antenna is long and flexible, making it easy to adjust for a better music signal. I keep this clock in my bathroom, and even with lots of steam from hot showers, it continues working reliably—a testament to its sturdiness.My only minor complaint is that the maximum music volume could be louder. For safety, it’s best not to use electronics close to water, even if it seems durable.Pros:• Effortlessly sets itself after time zone selection• Reliable timekeeping even after unplugging• Customizable dual alarms (music or buzzer)• Shows date, day, and year in addition to time• Durable and survives steamy bathroom conditionsCons:• Maximum music volume is a bit lowOverall:A convenient, dependable alarm clock that does what it promises. Recommended for everyday use, especially if you appreciate simple setup and extra features like automatic time setting.

Small and stylish
I really liked it. Good size and stylish. Colors are bright so you can see easily in the dark. I love the radio too.

It’s not bad
The last 2 clock radios that I’ve owned had really bad radio reception, so I’d sometimes wake to white noise static. Very annoying. But this clock’s radio works great. I can pickup local stations and they’re clear (I don’t like waking to beeping sounds). It also looks pretty nice and it’s very small which gives me more space on my nightstand. The only negative I can say is that you need a tech degree to setup the alarm. They make it unnecessarily difficult, so you need to hang on to the directions because if you lose it, you might get lost (and frustrated) trying to set up the alarms

Speakers are too tinny. Had to pay a return postage which was half of the cots.

El color azul no se ve muy bien en el día, solo por eso no le doy 5 estrellas
