I have be very happy with this clock . it have large number on it and light up like most indiglo product -- only when you hit the button . the alarm get more insistant the longer it go off to encourage you to get up . it be just what I be look for , plus I love the color . the only complaint I have about it be the alarm button be very hard for I to find to turn off , so I have to hit the snooze and then pick the clock up to slide the button to off . a minor annoyance , but the reason I give it 4 instead of 5 star . I have own this clock for 2 month now and it be still tickin ' for I .
