this be the second time I buy a alarm clock from Amazon -lrb- I love Amazon , do not get I wrong , I really in the hundred of thing i have order , only have problem on a few occasion , and they always rectify it -rrb- that be garbage . I be desperately look for something not make in China , which be pretty impossible . the first time I let it go ... but because the first one i order be not reliable , because some time it do not go off , and I desperately need to wake up very early in the AM for training , as I be a athlete , so i buy this crappy one as back up . it doesn ; t work . I have try 8 set of brand new battery , i can barely read the time on it , it do not light up , the alarm do not go off ... do not buy this garbage !!!
