I have be use this alarm clock for a few week now and feel I be ready to say a few word about it to other would be buyer . first , I be happy with the purchase and I would do it again . the build be not great , I assume they have to hit some price point and to do that they have to cut quite a few corner . example : the black twist -lrb- seection -rrb- dial on top sometimes do not get all the way back to the the default setting , clock mode . so sometimes it end up try to configure the alarm for Sunday and I have to fiddle with the black dial to get the time to display . also , I insert battery into it , and when I unplug the clock nothing get save . originally I think it would be useful if the power ever go out , but no dice , the alarm reset to initialization whenever the power be pull . the alarm be not loud enough , I have oversleep on multiple occasion since I have get it . I be not certain this be the fault of the alarm clock , cause I have a really nasty habit of hit the off button instead of the snooze button . have say all of this , I like the clock . it have much better feature than compete model , for example I like the nap alarm and different alarm for different day . plus I enjoy the aesthetic of the clock in comparison to any of the other junk I have see at local store . in this price range this be the best alarm clock , just do not expect too much .
