Product Review (submitted on May 10, 2017):

I've been looking for an AM/FM double alarm clock that will hold the time and alarm when the power goes out for over a year without spending a ton. Just to start out this does serve my purpose. I'm the kinda guy who pushes buttons first reads instructions later. All though setup was easy I did have to read the included instructions to set it up. The first thing is your time zone, after pushing the buttons I set it to the wrong time zone. I then followed exactly as it read in the instructions to reset to the proper time zone, date, regular or military time, alarm time, choose between Sunday-Saturday, Monday-Friday or Saturday-Sunday wake up, AM or FM /volume wake up level and 3 brightness settings. For people like me who want the alarm clock to wake you up maybe catch the news then shut it off and go about your day it's a good little clock. I do listen to an AM station in the morning and I can not get my station in clearly without static but to be fair my old clock use to get it clear but started to drift and could barely hear it so it could be some other outside interference, other AM stations do come in clear. With that said for those of you who want to use it to listen to music through out your day, forget this one. The FM channels are clear but there is absolutely no bass. This thing sounds like nothing more then an old 1970 9volt transistor radio. Other features is the ability to charge your phone (I do not know if the phone can be played through the radio or not but my phone has way better sound than this radio anyway), it has indoor temp and the date but you have to push a button to read them. The time display does light up the room even on the lowest setting, you can turn off the time for no light but you will also have no time displayed. There is an antenna wire must be for FM because it does nothing for AM. Like I said for me the alarm goes off in the morning Monday-Friday with no need to turn it off on weekends and no worry if power goes out. 3 stars is for sound quality and my AM station still has static, if you could adjust the treble/bass setting and an antenna for AM it could be a high 4 star. If you just want something reliable to wake you up in the morning the price is right. If you want something to listen to for extended period of time, get something else. Last thing is I have only had this for about 3 weeks so I don't know how the longevity of this will be. One other complaint is the plug, it is a transformer but is not that big and is also very light compared to some transformer plugs and will not obstruct the other outlet. - Verified Store
