Product Review (submitted on May 6, 2017):

I ordered the blue LED variety.Everyone else seems to complain that blue LED clocks are brighter than their bedside lamps, saying that their room is lit up in a brilliant blue hue, but although I'm unsure whether I can contribute it to getting a newer model of the clock (hey, something like that is always possible) or whether it's always been this way, this clock isn't that bright by my standards. It has 3 brightness levels, plus a level for 'display is off.' I use the middle brightness setting when I sleep, which is about as bright as the green LED clock I was replacing. The brightest level can be nice for clarity during the day if the lights in your room are strong, or if you tend to get a lot of natural sunlight in your room during the day, making it bright. (This comes from a person who sleeps in a dark, though not totally pitch-black can't-see-anything, room; I do turn all my lights off when I sleep.)For those who complain that the clock doesn't set itself, you have to pick a time zone when you plug it in, which may be what has some of the naysayers confused. When you first plug this clock in, it starts flashing just '2,' which is one of its time zone selections (2 being EST, but you can pick any number on its list to choose your time zone as appropriate). When you confirm your time zone, the clock DOES set itself - time, date, and year - cutting down on setup time immensely.You can set this thing for 12 or 24-hour time, it's got 2 alarms, both snooze and sleep functions, can be set for radio or buzzer, and has a USB port in the rear for plugging your phone into. It comes with both a quick start-up guide and an actual instruction booklet, so although its manner of operation is a bit different from a traditional alarm clock, there's enough instructions with it that you'll be able to understand how to work it.My clock arrived well-packaged and in perfect shape.Thus far, I can find no outright faults with this clock. - Verified Store
