DreamSky Alarm Clock Radios for Bedrooms with Battery Backup, Large Big Numbers with Brightness Dimmer, USB Port, Bedside Digital FM Radio with Sleep Timer, Temperature, Adjustable Volume, Snooze

If you looked around like I did, you found a hundred different clock-radios to choose from. Which one? Well, I hope I can help you a little bit, by pointing out the pros and cons. Keep in mind that I didn't want to pay more than $25. So, here's the review.PROS ...1. This is a big one - the display has a continuous dimmer!!! It's terrific to be able to dial down the brightness to nothing. If you share a bedroom, you can set this up to be just barely visible to you, and nobody else. On the other hand, you can make it as bright as you want. I absolutely love this feature!2. The orange display is definitely the one to get. I personally like blue a bit better, but with all the noise about "blue light" keeping you awake, why mess around when you can get orange? And I'm happy to say, the orange looks absolutely great. Sharp/clear and easy to see. I now wish more appliances had an "orange" option. You can even make the clock display military [24:00] time.3. Radio is easy to use and tune. FM only, which is fine, so you don't have any static. I don't miss AM one bit. Although if you're more than 50 miles from a city, this might not work for you. It still has an alarm buzzer, if there is no FM station nearby.4. Alarm is easy to set, and volume gradually increases over a few seconds to whatever level you set.5. Volume is set in 16 digital steps. Step 00 is no sound, step 15 is the loudest. Note that the volume for the alarm buzzer, the alarm radio, and the FM radio for listening are all SEPARATELY SET. Each one can have a different volume! As an aside, I bought this to replace a clock-radio with a volume knob that went bad. It would never work at exactly the volume I wanted (I guess it got dirty over time, so it was either too soft or too loud, and always scratchy when changing it). You will never have that problem with this radio, since the volume is set digitally, in steps.6. The OFF button for the alarm/radio is - any button you like, as long as you don't press SNOOZE! But even if you hit the big SNOOZE button by mistake, you only have to press any other button to stop the snooze function and turn off the alarm. Genius!!!CONS ...Small point - it has three AAA batteries to maintain functions even when the power goes off. BUT they never tell you how long the batteries will last.All in all, it's small, it's certainly loud enough, and the display very clear. It's easy to use. Although you should still read the manual - I didn't do that at first, and missed a couple of great features! It has battery backup, an accurate temperature display (one reviewer said theirs read four degrees hot, but I find that mine is exactly right, and changes if I put my hand near it for any length of time - it's sensitive!). Finally, a USB charging port. The price is great for what you get. I'll keep mine and highly recommend that you buy one too!

The price was good. Love the blue and adjustable lighting. Like the timer options for the snooze alarm and volume control. Perfect size cor my night stand. I've had it for almost a year with no problems whatsoever. Very easy to program. The back up battery is helpful. Would buy again

Basic alarm clock radio... time display is large and has a dimmer, which is helpful since it sits bedside. There is only one alarm, and only one buzz sound (or radio.) The alarm time is displayed. It's convenient to have the temperature displayed as well, so I know if I need to cool the room off a bit more before going to sleep. All were easy to set. Reasonably priced, basic alarm clock.

This is a great little clock radio and easy to set. Some digital clocks/radios have complilcated instructions that you have to get the manual for every time the power goes out. This one is easy to set which I really like. The brightness is adjustable from completely off to very bright which is nice if you don't want it too bright at night. The numbers are big enough to see without my glasses. The radio quality is very good, even without extending the antenna cord. Overall I really like this clock radio, and that's saying a lot because lately there have been things I did not like about many clock radios. I am thinking of buyiing more because it's so easy to operate and not too bright at night.

I've only had this for a day but I'm so impressed I'm taking a chance and leaving a review. I'll amend it if it crashes and burns in a short time. This is a great clock for the price. The orange is hard to find and a great color for an alarm clock as blue is supposed to contribute to keeping you awake. Love the orange, the display is big and easy to see, not crowded with an easy to read font. It's very easy to set up. The radio sounds great and picks up stations well without even unraveling the antenna. It's perfect for a light sleeper as the display brightness is fully adjustable and the alarm volume goes down to 1, not 3 like many other clocks. It also has the graduwake feature where the alarm slowly increases to the max volume they you selected. The USB is out the back which works out much better for me. It has a battery backup that takes 3 AAA batteries. The snooze button is large and easy to hit as it's the width of the clock. It gives you 9 minutes, I'd prefer 10 but most are 9 so nothing terrible there. As of right now, I highly recommend this.

This is a cute little clock that is easy to set and read. It is small, so it does not take up much space on a nightstand. But the numbers are clear, large and readable. The settings are very easy to use. This is my second clock, I like it that much! Getting rid of the old, large alarm clocks that crowd the nightstand. USB ports are in the back, if you need them.

This clock works pretty good so far; I like the display size and the look, I like that it has a battery back up in case the power goes out; it gives the room temperature and the alarm is easy to set. The clock is also very light and durable.
