It's easy to set and use. The only problem is the volume. I'm a deep sleeper and I've found that this alarm is actually not loud enough to wake me.

By Maria Christine from Holbrook, NY on 7/5/2008 Pros: Easy To Set, Good Volume, Neat Features, Reliable Best Uses: Anywhere Describe Yourself: Technically Challenged Primary use: Personal Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This is the ultimate alarm clock! To begin with, it is compact, so that it doesn't take up too much room on your night table. The numbers are large and easy to read, and they can be dimmed or brightened. This clock has every feature you need -- from a snooze alarm to dual alarms that each can be preset for just weekdays, every day of the week or just weekends. There is a light that warns of a low battery, and 1 of 7 lights indicates the day of the week. The alarm sound is a series of beeps that are not jarring, but are loud enough to wake you. One of the best features of the clock is that it automatically displays the correct time and restores the alarm setting when it is plugged in or back in use after a power outage. I got to test that feature just a few hours ago, when my electricity went out because of a storm. As soon as the electricity was restored, my clock displayed the correct time. I am thrilled with this clock and would recommend it to anyone!
