USB Charging Alarm Clock Radio

Product Review (submitted on February 27, 2017):

This clock radio has a nice tuner, and seems to have a few other nice features, but it has some pretty bad annoyances:1) Blue numbers? I know that blue LEDs are very trendy, but they are a horrible idea in an alarm clock. They are hard to focus on in the dark, they mess with circadian rhythms, and even at their dimmest they are too bright in a completely dark room. Red. The numbers should be red.2) The brightness can only be changed when music is not playing. Not a big deal, but given that it is easy to accidentally change the brightness it is frustrating that fixing it is slightly tricky.3) The alarm goes off, an interesting talk-radio story comes on, and you want to turn up the volume. Easy, right? Just press the volume-up button. Nope. That button doesn't work when playing radio from the alarm setting. You have to turn off the radio, then turn it back on, and *then* you can change the volume.The volume buttons are also fairly difficult to press - you need a couple of fingers on the back of the radio before you can press them. Lighter touch buttons would be nice.So, change the color of the numbers, and make sure they can go dim enough, and allow changing the volume of the radio that wakes you up, and then you'd have a nice radio. Easy fixes. Let me know if you make them. - Verified Store
