So I purchased one of these alarm clocks for my daughter so she did not have to keep her cell phone in her room at night to use as her alarm clock and we were so impressed, we bought another one for my other child! These alarm clocks are feature and function rich including but not limited to having blue tooth capabilities, a programmable radio, USB and auxiliary ports for charging and playing music as well as having two separate alarm clocks. A speaking of the alarm clocks, they have the option of being a radio station alarm or a beeping alarm, and I'll tell you what, the beeping alarm is awesome! A bonus feature I was not aware of when originally purchasing is that the beep will actually start off quiet and incrementally get louder. It is REALLY a nice feature as it prevents the alarm for simply being startling and terrifyingly loud from the get go. Furthermore, you can program the alarm clock to go off Monday thru Friday, Saturday and Sunday or seven days a week. You cannot program this alarm clock on random days of the week unfortunately, but for our purposes, that is not necessary as we use this alarm clock for school. The alarm clocks also have a nine minute snooze button. The clock radio can also get nice and loud if you want it too. The sound is clear and really nice for a compact, good looking clock of this size. Speaking of good looks, the numbers and screen have a nice cool, aqua blue color with three brightness and dimming options. The ONLY real gripe I have with this alarm clock is the battery backup. This alarm clock will NOT work during a power outage. The "battery backup" is to keep your time, alarm clock settings and programmable radio stations in the event of a power outage and when the power returns you will not need to reprogram your clock. READ: The alarm will not go off if the power is out. Although this would be a super rare event, for those of you that NEED an alarm clock to work if your power goes, this clock will not suit your needs. That being said, I can maybe think of one, maybe two times in my entire life that my power was out when I needed to get up in the morning, so again, not a deal breaker, but probably the one thing that keeps this clock from being the perfect alarm clock. Lastly, I'd like to let you know that this alarm clock is a little bit involved when programming for the first time. One really needs to follow the instructions, be a little bit patient and mess with it in order to familiarize yourself with the buttons. It's not terribly difficulty, but does take some getting used to. We spent maybe twenty minutes or so getting the alarm clock set up and are able to use all of the features now without a hitch. That being said, overall, this is a great alarm clock with lots of great bells and whistles.

I bought this alarm clock for my son. Overall, it's a nice alarm clock with nice extras. Bluetooth works great (my son's favorite part), and the clock still reads when using bluetooth. The speaker has ok sound - not great sound, but good quality for an alarm clock. The display can be dimmer (though it's still fairly bright at the dimmest level). Snooze is front and center and easy to access. The big downfall - and the reason for only 3 stars - is the gradual wake alarm. It's a good concept but horrible execution. The alarm volume increases WAY too fast to blaring levels. We set the alarm to 1 (with zero being the lowest). We really can't even hear the radio when the alarm goes off, but within a minute, it is too loud to listen to comfortably. My son usually snoozes and then forgets to turn the alarm off, which means that in 10 min the entire house can clearly hear the radio blasting. Any thoughts to waking to music and listening for a few minutes while easing into the day...forget it. This gradual wake feature cannot be turned off and the max volume apparently can't be adjusted. Major fail with this feature.

All the complaints about how difficult it is to setup this clock are true. Reason? All buttons have two functions: one when the audio power is on and one when it's off. The manual says "With the power off (press power to turn the radio on)," and I'm sure that's where the confusion comes from. If the manual just said "With the power off," and then gave the instructions, it would be easier. The other problem is the buttons have two modes: long and short press. Sometimes you have to hold the button down and other times just click it. For example, to cycle through the alarm modes, one just clicks the buttons to go from off to bell to music (radio, Bluetooth, or USB) to off again. To set the alarm one must hold the button down to get the hour flashing, then a click for the minute, volume, and day (or days). Once I figured out the pattern, I got it setup and started using this clock radio, I was more pleased with it. I know use the radio alarm function and turn off my cell phone completely when going to bed. No more text message irritation while sleeping! Sound quality is great, better than expected for this price. The auto-brightness feature on the display works well: I keep it on full brightness and at night, it auto-dims to something that doesn't keep me up yet is visible in the dark. And the large digits are easy to read from across the room. Any nit-picks? Yes, two. First, Bluetooth audio: in Bluetooth mode, the volume control does not interact with Bluetooth like true Bluetooth speakers. Volume controls input to the preamp and the volume on the phone or tablet controls how loud or soft something plays. While the radio is plenty loud for background music on five, one must crank up to fifteen in Bluetooth mode for the same volume. The other nit-pick is radio volume is not logarithmic enough. Meaning one is rather loud for the minimum volume setting. I found the radio alarm to be almost too loud when I first got this. However after having lived with it, I've gotten used to the softest volume being louder than I would like. If the chief feature one wants is a great Bluetooth speaker with device integration, buy something else that's a speaker first and a clock radio second. However if the chief feature is a good clock radio so one can turn the phone off at night yet still play decent stereo music without another speaker, this model fits the bill.

Compré este radio despertador básicamente por una función que otros no ofrecen: la mayoría dice que tiene alarma dual, que significa que puedes configurar dos horas de alarma para el mismo día. Sin embargo, este radio despertador ofrece la alarma doble, lo que significa que puedes configurar dos alarmas independientes y, lo mejor de todo, a diferencia de otros, también ofrece la posibilidad de ajustar la alarma para un sólo día, o varios, algo que no es común encontrar en este tipo de aparatos. Además, permite elegir entre un tono ya preconfigurado en el aparato o elegir despertar con el radio. También se puede ajustar el volumen de cada alarma. Investigué mucho sobre este aspecto en las alarmas y relojes y sólo esta marca ofrece tal configuración en sus despertadores. Por ello la elegí. Este modelo en específico también tiene Bluetooth, lo cual es muy práctico para escuchar música de Spotify o contenido de YouTube. El volumen en esta configuración es modulable también mediante el dispositivo conectado. Capta radio FM y trae un cable a modo de antena, es algo que no me agrada mucho del modelo, preferiría una pequeña antena, pero la verdad no escucho tanto el radio, así que para la única estación que quiero oir funciona perfecto. Tiene un cargador USB donde se puede cargar el celular u otros dispositivos. Pensé que acá podía conectar igual una USB con archivos de música pero no sirve para eso. Su entrada USB es exclusiva para carga. Funciona sólo con corriente eléctrica, por lo que debe estar conectado. Posee una pila interna de litio pero sólo es para cuando se va la luz y así evitar que se desconfigure. Así que para los que quieren un reloj inalámbrico éste no es para ustedes. Es de buen tamaño para el escritorio o el buró y se puede configurar el grado de brillo de los números. También tiene la opción de que su brillo cambie automáticamente. El diseño no es el más moderno, parece un radio viejito, pero la verdad a mí eso no me molesta, pues sus funciones me resultan más importantes que su aspecto. Algo que no me gusta es que no se puede elegir el color que uno quiere comprar. Yo quería el totalmente negro, pero el azar me mandó el plata con negro. Está bien, hubiera odiado un poco el dorado. Finalmente, debo decir que como muchas reseñas han señalado ya, la configuración es algo complicada. Hay que leer con mucho detalle el manual (que solo viene en inglés), sobre todo yo encontré difícil la configuración de las alarmas y del día en que quería que sonaran. Pero sí se puede, nomás hay que leer con calma. Así que supongo que el precio que hay que pagar por todas esas funciones es que cuesta configurarlas. Me parece un muy buen aparatouy completo, que cumple con lo que promete y que, si bien no es de uso sencillo, ofrece muchas funciones que valen el tiempo de aprender a utilizarlas correctamente. Si eso no les molesta, creo que es una muy buena adquisición. Lo recomiendo: sí, ampliamente.

Have been using it for close to a year now. Can’t begin my day without it! It has 2 wake up alarms which I can set to ur favourite radio station or choose from the alarm tones available. Works very well on BT as well. The display is the best - adjusts itself to the light in the room & is easy on the eyes as you wud want it to be if you intend to keep it on the bedside as I have. Easy to set up too! The only grouse I have is with the tuning of channels - it doesn’t have a circular disk for tuning but has 2 up & down buttons to tune. Alternatively you cud set ur channels to the 8 preset channel options available.

Excelente relación precio-calidad. Fácill de conectar y programar. Bluethoot efectivo para conectarse. El sonido no es lo mejor pero está bien para la oficina y tenerlo de fondo. La calidad es como de un radio. Escucho mi música y el radio. Muy práctico.

El artículo definitivamente es más de lo que esperaba. Por el precio, suena bastante bien y tiene otras funciones. definitivamente la recomiendo.

Funciona bien y tiene buen volumen sus funciones un poco complicadas porque el instructivo está en inglés
