Customer Review: Not good enough...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this clock about a year ago with high expectations. It markets itself well - nice design, great features, CD player, and other items, but I don't feel it has lived up to its potential. Biggest Problems:
*Blue background is hard to set to make the time both dark enough to sleep without a glowing blue light at you and bright enough to see clearly when waking up in the morning.
*Too many buttons on the front, too cluttered and not easy to use. Alarm clocks need to be simple to set, change and use - this one is not.
*Poor reception - weak intenna included is hard to get a signal while inside a building (and I am guessing this is where you plan to use your clock).
*Alarm - you cannot set this clock to wake you up by a regular alarm! You must choose radio, CD or nature sounds...not very user friendly.
Strengths -
*Several nature sounds to choose from to help you fall asleep
*Lots of pre-sets of radio stations
*Possibility to wake up to all three settings (nature sounds, CD, Radio)
Overall, I would say this is an overpriced clock radio, especially for the lack of quality - which is why I am online looking for a new way to start each day!
Customer Review: What time is it anyway?

I thought the other reviews weren't serious about NOT being able to see the time well. My hubby wears glasses, so I wanted BIG digits for him at night. I don't wear glasses, so I'd be able to see fine--I thought! This clock radio sounds great and all the nature sounds are great, but if you want to see the CLOCK (day or night), find another product! We have found we like the alarm sounds, so we have kept our old clock radio (black with red digits) to enable us to see the time, but we set this alarm to wake us.Customer Review: Devil is in the details

This clock doesn't work well for me for a couple of rather specific reasons. First of all, as other have mentioned, the indiglo backlight is too bright at night, and if you turn it down, it becomes difficult to read. My wife's red-on-black alarm clock radio is much easier to read. Part of the reason for this is the fact that I wear glasses, and can't see clearly when I wake in the morning. So perhaps it is me-specific...
The other problem I have is that the snooze timer goes off after an hour. So if I'm really tired and keep hitting snooze, after an hour...no more alarm. I've been late to work WAY too many times due to this feature.
Overall, it's a fully-featured clock radio, but if you share my little problems, it won't work for you.
Customer Review: eh...

It's not as good as it could be.The Bad:
I agree with other posters who say the alarm limit is horrible, and the cd player hisses way too loudly, the hiss will actually wake me up before the music even starts, and it's impossible to lie in bed and relax with the cd player hissing right in my ear. The cd player also has plenty of problems reading "burned" cd's (CD-R's)
The nature sounds are also really bad, you can hear an audible click or pop every few seconds when the loop ends on every sound.
Speakers are horrible, I get better sound out of my older, much smaller tape player/alarm.
The good:
Large Indigo display, very nice.
The ability to set the volume low for the "sleep" timer, and still have it be loud when the alarms go off.
Having three seperate alarms is a nice feature.
Overall, if I had to do it over again, I would definitely choose another system with the same features.
Customer Review: Great Player!

We bought this player right before I had my baby. We took it to the hospital with us and listened to peaceful music all during labor, and after our baby was born we turned it on the nature sounds all night long. It has served us very well. Now, it plays a continuous lullaby CD for my daughter all night long and my three month old has been sleeping through the night now for over a month. This is great! The only complaint I have is that there are too many buttons and I get confused as to which ones do what...and that is frustrating. But, all in all, it's great and it travels well.
