±1±: Best Buy I bought this alarm clock soon after switching to a new cell phone. My old one used to have a really loud alarm that was reliable, but the new phone didn't always go off so I had to find something else to wake me up in the mornings. I'm not a light sleeper so I was looking for a relatively loud alarm, but not so loud that it startles me (then I get grumpy). This clock was perfect for the job.

===Pros===
+Good construction, haven't had any problems with the knobs that others have reported.
+Love the 2 alarm feature - one for weekdays, one for weekends! That way I never end up forgetting to reset the alarm.
+Large display so I can see it from my bed without putting on my glasses.
+Brightness settings. The medium setting is perfect for me so that it isn't blinding at night but I can still see it clearly.
+Alarm sound starts quietly and increases in volume and frequency. I love this feature because it allows me to ease into waking up, but it still eventually becomes loud and frequent enough to make me actually get up.

===Cons===
-Knobs to adjust alarm time are a little hard to use when adjusting +/- 15 minutes or so...if you hold it too long it will skip a lot, but you don't want to turn it one digit at a time either.

At first, looking at the reviews, I was a little hesitant because they mentioned that the alarm was on the quiet side. However, that is not true - it does get quite loud and I am not the lightest of sleepers (have never been able to sleep through one of these alarms). I would definitely recommend this alarm clock. I can't comment on the radio functions because I bought this specifically for the alarm clock function. on Sale!

Good clock, sets itself to the atomic clock automatically. I am satisfied with my purchase, and I would consider another one if I had to get one. I do have gripes with the clock though:

1. I had to manually adjust it for daylight savings time which I shouldn't have had to do even with the DST time change (the DST should happen automatically as the data for DST is transferred with the time signal.)
2. The clock is relatively tall for its footprint. This means that when I try to hit snooze (on top of the clock) I can easily knock the clock over. I've gotten used to this though.
3. The alarm, if ignored, is only about 60 seconds long. Heavy sleepers will NOT like this clock.
4. It displays the time and outside temperature on the wall/ceiling. I'm in BED. What the heck do I care about the OUTSIDE temperature when I'm warm and cozy in my bed? Sure, maybe some people would like to know when they wake up, but most people wake up when its light outside and you can't see the wall/ceiling display with any other lighting available. And if it isn't light out, they usually turn on the lights to get dressed and could look at the clock then. I really wish it didn't alternate the time and temperature on the ceiling because half the time I'm curious about the time it takes me 5 seconds until I get to find out.
5. (This one is more of a slight against Amazon) *After* placing my order for this clock, Amazon showed me a different model of this clock that had weather prediction (sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc) for $5 more. Amazon's policy is that you can change your order online if it hasn't entered final phases of shipping... but somehow or another this clock went straight to the final phase even with super saver express didn't-ship-out-for-three-days shipping so I couldn't change and I'm stuck with useless fancy feature as described in #4.

As much as it might seem I hate the bugger, I'm actually satisfied with it.

For $14, you just can't beat this one. The two alarms adjust forward and backwards easily. Backwards is a huge advantage! Seeing the alarm time when the alarm is on seems to require you to turn the alarm off, then on, to have it shown.

he "auto-set" is not synched to WWV/WWVH, but uses a long-lasting battery and works well enough. You can set "override" the internal clock to sync so that, for example, your 6:01 alarm means that the news on NPR starts moments after the clock radio kicks on. For me, functional enough and doesn't have some of the mis-setting problems like the inexpensive "atomic-set" clocks.

It switched over to PDT to PST properly for me this year, a nice surprise.

The numbers are very readable without my glasses. The brightness control seems to work well. The alarm is progressive in insistence, but "low" and "high" are just about the same level.
