I have mix feeling about this alarm clock . it have some great feature , but also some flaw . I give it 3 star mostly due to the poor quality of the antenna -lrb- a wire that you have to move around just right to hear the weather radio -rrb- . a sturdy metal antenna would have work much better . my antenna arrive damage . the warrenty be limit -- I send it to the manufacturer and they charge you $ 5 to get it send back to you , plus you have to pay to ship it out . so , it cost I about 1\/2 the original price just to get it work properly . very disappointing , and due to poor quality of the antenna .  other than that , the only significant flaw -lrb- that bother I , that be -rrb- I see be how small the Sleep button be . it be difficult to find in the dark , and it be make flatter than the rest of the button -lrb- it be on the top left of the front of the clock -rrb- . this make it hard to press the button , too .  the alarm do have some very nice quality . be able to listen to the weather when the news on tv be not on and it be stormy -lrb- so can not turn on the computer -rrb- be very handy ! Make sure you have a NOAA weather station in you area before you buy , because the signal be weak and you may not be able to pick it up at all .  the slow-to-wake buzzer be really nice . it help you wake easily , rather than jump out of you skin . it start to almost nothing to a fairly loud buzzer . you will not sleep through this buzzer .  also handy be the Reset button . this reset you alarm for the next day . you do not have to remember to turn the alarm on everyday , because it just reset it to the same time for the next day .  if you be buy this for the Hi\/Lo dimmer , I would not recommend this clock radio . it work , but it be not very dim . I leave it on dim all the time because the hus setting be so bright .
