I really like this dual alarm and sound soother . I can set my wake-up time to one time and my husband can set the second alarm to he own wake up time - very cool . I be not sure of the reason other reviewer think set this clock and the sound be difficult ~ I find it easy to navigate . I also like the feature of be able to listen to one sound and have a different sound set for each alarm setting . please note : the volume you have it set at while it be power on will be the volume set for you wake up -lrb- second note : you have complete freedom to choose what sound each alarm be set regardless of which sound be be listen to at the time the sound soother be click off which be great -rrb- . there be 8 volume setting which be really nice ; I be not sure as to the reason other reviewer say there be only 3 volume setting . love the 20 variety of sound , and I also do not notice any repetition in the recording ; I have big-time OCD and would notice that , so again , I be not sure the reason other reviewer would have notice as this little clock\/sound soother be wonderful . my favorite sound be Oceanside and wind chime . good buy . would recommend to friends\/family , and would also purchase as a gift .
