I love the ease withwhich I can set the time , set the alarm and view it in the dark , however , it do not stand on its trus leg configuration very easily . I be constantly knock it over and althought that in itself do not render the alarm inoperable , it do make it difficult to orient and turn off , in the wee hour of the morning upon wake to its nicely sound alarm . its quiet and I would buy it again but the leg thing be annoying .
