I just receive this clock . set up be very easy , just plug it in , set the time zone slide switch and it pick up the radio signal in less than 10 minute . the LED readout be large and clear and have a dimmer switch ; much easier to see and read than the more common lcd display . Controls be simple and self explanatory - no complex\/confusing manual need . I would have like if the button have be a little bit larger , but it be not a real problem . I like the fact that the ALARM on-off switch and the SET ALARM button be separate control . you can check the alarm time or change it without wor about accidently turn the alarm off . I just receive it so I can not comment on long term durability , but so far I really like it and would recommend it to friend . however : if you be look for dual alarm or a lot of bell & whistle , then this be not for you . it be a very basic alarm clock . also , the beeper be not super loud so if you be a really deep sleeper who require a loud buzzer , then this might not be for you
