The engineers got nearly everything on this alarm clock perfect.The switchs, lights, and knobs are dead on.What I mean is that the controls make perfect sense.They are logical, well laid out, and easy to use.In addition, the gradually increasing volume of the alarm is just right.It is neither abrasive, not too soft.If it were not for the following problem, I would by 10 of these and put them in a safe to use over the next 50 years of my life and keep an eleventh to be buried with.What makes this machine worthy of only one star is the LCD (backlit with blue).The screen makes this clock simply useless.It is too small and the backlight is too powerful.
During the day, it is impossible to read the screen more than 3 feet away, and I have better than 20/20 vision.More importantly, at night the light is so bright I have to turn it around 180 degrees.This obviously is a problem when I want to know how much time I have left to sleep.But, add to that that when I turn it to face me, the light is so overpowering that I must put it within 12 inches of my face to read the damn thing.
I cannot overstate how much I like the layout of this machine.However, I must simultaneously warn you:DO NOT buy this clock under any circumstances whatsoever.
