Got it for my teenagers to detach from smart phone while in their bedroom
September 27, 2017
Straightforward, old-school clock radio. Got it for my teenagers to detach from smart phone while in their bedroom. Listen to the radio and stop the custom order everything life, including music. Stepping off soap box now.....
It is perfect for me
July 29, 2017
This alarm clock radio replaced one I've had for over 25 years. It is perfect for me .dual alarm,doesn't need to be reset every day and especialy the dimmer that has 3 settings that can be adjusted by pushing one button. If it lasts 25 years that would be awesome. I don't think you can go wrong buying it.
Worth the price
April 23, 2016
Arrived on time. Simple clock radio with a large enough face to see the time from across the room. Alarms come in several settings. I like the increasing loudness that comes with the bell alarm so I can shut it off before the rest of the family hears my alarm. I do not use it for a radio. Reception is weak though. AM radio comes in clear and certain local FM stations. I liked this alarm enough that I ordered a second one for my teenage daughter who now gets up on her own without me dragging her out of bed. This alarm clock radio was priced appropriately, shipped quickly and functions well in my home so I would recommend it to others.
It's okay, butnbe aware of the brightness If you don't sleep good...
April 1, 2016
This alarm clock Is great, but It has a brightness setting and even If the brightness Is turned all the way down It still shines In your eyes while your sleeping because the display Is so bright you can't sleep very well, I bought this for my grandparents to replace their old alarm clock because their old alarm clock still works but the display turns to Japanese numbers and my grandparents didn't like It so I saved It for the display I do In December for 2 weeks... I would choose a different alarm clock what Is not so bright so you can sleep all night... Don't buy It If you don't sleep very good...
Perfect for my purposes!
June 8, 2015
It's true that the settings are not very intuitive, but once I figured out how the clock worked, I loved it! (I do keep the instructions handy, though, for things I don't do every day). I like the small footprint, red display with adjustable brightness, convenient snooze button, dual alarms, and ease of setting and turning off the alarms (once I figured out how they worked). I especially love that the alarms start out faint and gradually increase in volume. The radio is very easy to tune, with excellent reception, and the sound quality is not bad (better than my last alarm clock, though not the best I've ever heard). Altogether the most satisfactory alarm clock I have ever owned.
Excellent little radio alarm clock . . . once you read the online instruction manual
March 24, 2014
Having read reviews for this radio alarm clock ranging from one to five stars, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect once I plugged it in. My biggest concern was that the radio reception would be inadequate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the digital tuner is excellent. Stations that were crackly and faint on my old analog clock radio are now coming in loud and clear.The three dimmer levels are a nice touch as well.I agree with other reviewers who cite the poor instructions that come with the alarm clock--in fact, there are two vital functions that you will be unable to figure out if you rely solely on the included "quick start guide:" turning off the alarm and setting the radio presets.However, these (and other) functions are fully explained in the expanded manual, available as a PDF on the Electrohome website. Just look for the EAAC200 manual on their support page. Once you spend a little time figuring out the (admittedly quirky) button combinations, you will realize that a lot has been packed into this great little clock radio.

Best Clock Radio I've Ever Owned!
July 11, 2017
I love this little clock radio! If you follow the instructions carefully, it's quite easy to set up just the way you like it. Some people have complained about the brightness of the display; however, I don't have any problem with it at all. You're given a choice of quite bright (good for reading the clock in daylight), dimmed (good for reading the clock in darkness), and completely off (just black). So if the dimmed setting were too bright to sleep by (which it isn't for me), I would simply set the display to "off" and, if I wanted to check the time during the night, I would just tap the dimmer button and, voila!, there's the display. Tap it again, and the display is dimmed. Tap it once more, and the display is all black again. I also appreciate the small footprint of this clock radio. It doesn't take up nearly as much space as my previous clock radio did. I think this is an excellent product and am very happy I bought it!
Good clock
April 15, 2017
I bought this clock after our old one, different brand, stopped working. After reading reviews I was a little worried but purchased it anyway. It was fairly easy yo set up. I did need to follow the directions to set the dual alarms. (Sorry folks, but reading directions is needed! We are so used to things being so automatic that we forget how important directions are.) Anyway, once that was set, things have been great! My only complaint is how bright it is. It is very bright on the second setting. Level one will let up the room, two my side of the room, and three no light at all. I wish there was a level between two and three, but that is a personal preference. It has nothing to do with how well the clock works, etc. I gave it five stars because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. The alarm is loud and can scare the pants off of you! This is my only warning! 🙂
Best alarm I've ever owned (and I've had half-a-dozen)
April 11, 2017
This is the perfect alarm clock for me! It does EXACTLY what I want and no more. It is compact, easy to read, and relatively easy to set up. The only thing I had to get used to was the brightness of the display. My old clocks were pretty dim so I could leave the display on all the time. This is backlit so brightly that it can function as a night-light (which helps me get into bed without stubbing my toe). The manufacturer wisely put the dimmer right on top of the unit so you can dim it or shut off the display with a quick tap or two. But how do you know what time it is in the middle of the night? That's the best part! That little projector that shoots onto the ceiling TOTALLY WORKS. I thought that might be gimmicky but both my wife and I love it! You just pop your eyes open and look at the ceiling for the time. Very very nice. Finally, the radio has just one station programmed for your alarm. Most other clocks have multiple presets for the radio. But this is NOT a clock radio - is it an alarm clock that allows you to wake up to the radio. I NEVER used those presets on my old clocks. This unit is simple, clean, efficient - perfect.
This Is Great!
March 17, 2017
I was looking for an alarm clock with larger numbers in blue. Most alarm clocks have smaller numbers in red, or sometimes green. But I wanted blue because it's the most pleasant to read in the dark upon waking.I saw that this was the best seller and met my requirement of blue lighting and larger numbers.As an added bonus, there's an "arm" on the left side of this that projects the current time onto your ceiling, wall, etc (wherever you aim it). You can opt to not turn the projection on, but I like it. It's great. The projected time is in red. I wish it was blue but not a huge deal.Also as a bonus, the front display shows the room temperature in either C or F. (There's a small temp probe sticking out of the back of the unit.)The time sets automatically but you can manually adjust it to.I saw some bad reviews and was a little worried but I've this for a couple weeks and it's been trouble-free. I'm going to order another one to stick in the closet in case they stop making this (though I'm not sure why they would).My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to make the projection blue, but it's not enough of a shortcoming to knock a star off the rating.
Clock radio with Projected Time is a game changer!
March 14, 2017
Love the projected time because the clock face is waaay too bright even on lowest dim setting. But the Projected Time on the ceiling is the bomb! Not bright and there for you to see while you're laying down. Don't have to fight covers, pillows, pets, or wife to get up to see the time on the clock across the room. I did order some Dim It light dimming sheets for the clock radio to try out so that it will be easier to see the time during the day or when the light is on. (Currently have the dim setting to "no display") because it is just way too bright. I'd give this 4 stars because of that, but the projected time makes up for it.
So many useful features packed into an affordable alarm clock!
October 10, 2016
This is an awesome alarm clock! I was actually searching for an alarm clock that would wake me up in the morning with the radio, and I am so happy found this. In addition to having the radio option, it also has a thermometer function for your room. A very useful option in my opinion, is the dual alarm setting; being able to set two separate alarms ensures that I don't sleep thru by accidently turning off the first. And the nap function is very convenient when I feel like taking a quick power nap.The feature that I was not particularly looking for, but turned out to such an incredible tool, was the Time Projection! It is so awesome to not have to turn towards the alarm clock to see the time in the event of waking up in the middle of night, and wondering how much longer I can stay in bed for lol. My mom saw the projection feature and had me order her one the same day!

June 17, 2016
Tricky to figure out how to set without using the instructions, but the instructions were fine.I particularly like the radio alarm being a) digital so you can get a good signal and it won't move if you accidentally touch the wheel/dial, and b) it comes on softly and then the volume increases to the volume you set. A great feature!
Good Radio Alarm for lighter sleepers
May 5, 2016
I really love the digital light and the fact that this can it can get brighter or dimmer upon your chosen setting. The radio has different stations and tunes in really good as well. The alarm takes a little bit of getting used to with the settings, but once you figure it out it is easy to do. The only problem I am having is that it is a little too quiet for me and if you have a fan or anything else running, you will not be able to hear it. If you wake up to sounds fairly easy it is a great product for you. I woke up and could barely hear it this morning over my fan and it failed to wake me up. It does have a radio and a beeper, you must make sure you turn it up all the way. The beeper does get louder and that may help. Most alarms they are making these days I have found to not be very loud, but if you are a lighter sleeper and want a clock radio then this would be the product for you. I got this product for free or at a deep discount for my honest unbiased opinion.
Compact and versatile, dual alarm clock/radio is perfect for small places.
November 13, 2015
I wanted a small-footprint clock/radio for my bedside stand. This fits the bill exactly. I love the 3-stage brightness dimming of the green LED time display. It took a bit of reading the manual to figure out how to set the time, alarm and radio station, but I did. The only thing that surprised me was the thin wire antenna that had to be extended from the unit. Silly me, it had not occurred to me that it would be necessary. It is unobtrusive, but not very long. I stretched it to the wall and anchored it with a removable sticky strip. Ta-da! I have only been using it a week or so, but so far I am happy.
Not exactly a no-brainer...
June 30, 2014
I like this little clock very much, but it was rather frustrating at first - hence the four stars instead of five. It is not very intuitive and the instructions are not very helpful; however, after a little practice I rather like it's minimalistic quality. Everything other than the learning curve would have gotten this product five stars, such as: dimmer - lowest is hard to see in daylight but perfect for nighttime and the medium is fine for daylight and not too bright while sleeping, I love two alarms, I love having a beep alarm as well as a music option, it's tiny - fits in my hand (I'm average/petite), it's light, gets good reception - I left the antenna wrapped up and it still works fine, it can be very loud for it's small size. I think that's about it. All is good except for learning how it works!

Finally the clock radio I have been looking for
July 9, 2017
I really like this clock. I had fun figuring out the various functions and it didn't take long to set up. Instructions were easy to follow as well.I set this up just over my bed. The radio plays quite well and can be very loud yet clear. However, because I'm used to quiet I find that even on the lowest volume it is still a bit too loud for me. The alarm is a real wake up call..loud...I am still trying to figure out how to reset the time for the alarm. Everything else work great.I love the fact that there is the time projection for on the roof or wall so I don't have to get up to see the time, simply roll over and look up.This clock-radio is what it says and does what it says. Great product.
... a clock radio that has AM radio I was pleased to find this one
May 31, 2017
After looking for a clock radio that has AM radio I was pleased to find this one. The radio works well. I live in an area that gets poor reception and the stations come in clearly.. a big plus!I like being able to tell the temperature of the room and the way the clock set itself to Eastern Daylight Savings Time without me having to do a thing.I found the device to not be very intuitive when it came to setting the alarms and stations. You need to read the directions carefully and go step by step in order to figure it out. However, it works as it should. Just keep the directions next to the radio in case you forget what to do.
Very nice projection/alarm clock, but don't lose the operation manual
March 23, 2017
Very cool clock. I replaced an older projector clock with this one. This is a major upgrade. Also, the projection is very sharp after focusing.User observations: 1: R (and save) TFM! This is not a user friendly machine to set up; you will need to read the directions. 2: The clock does not sync with the atomic clock - mine came about 7 minutes off after adjusting for my time zone - had to change that, 3: It will not effectively wake a heavy sleeper (such as myself)... 3a: It is very polite with the "buzzer"; 1 short beep per second for 1st 10 seconds, 2 per for next 10 seconds, etc. 'til you have a bee in your ear. 4: The radio is a nice function to listen to while doing other stuff (mono-aural, no output for better sound system) 5: Don't buy a 9 volt battery for this; it takes a button battery for backup (included in mine). That surprised me as I had bought 9 volts for it. My err. 6: I purchased a second one as a travel clock. I'm that impressed overall.
Pretty good
January 21, 2017
It's a pretty good clock overall.Pros:1) Love the time projection on the wall at night. My vision is less than perfect, and it is very convenient to look on the wall to see the time easily, in the middle of the night.2) It is a nice compact size. Doesn't take up too much room on my shelf.3) Lots of great features to serve your many needs.Cons:1) Backup battery lid is screwed on super tight, and was very hard to get off. I wanted to take it off to see what the battery looked like, and it was a pain in the neck to remove the lid. I had to use a mini screw driver and a rubber kitchen grip, and apply lots of force.2) Way too many confusing buttons. I need the owner's manual next to me to remember how to use all the features.Note: When I 1st tested the radio alarm, I noticed the music came on way too quiet, not loud enough to wake me up. For this reason, I was about to return this item. But then I realized, the radio alarm starts out quiet, and gets progressively louder as the minutes pass. So, the volume worked out being fine for me, despite my initial opinion.
Decent Device But Be Careful With Trusting All Those Reviews
August 15, 2015
The device is decent. I haven't had any trouble with it and it does what it says it does. That's not why I felt compelled to write this review though.I want to bring to shoppers' attention that a while after I purchased this product, ShopTronics, the seller, emailed me a form letter asking that I write a review of the Electrohome Projection Alarm Clock on Amazon in return for a 1 year extension of the product's warranty. And once I do that to fill in a form on a linked website to get the extension. The form on their website has a spot for the review text, the star rating given, and some instructions include the following lines of text:"The star rating of your review has no impact on your extended warranty."but then"7) Complimentary extended warranties will only be given for reviews that are deemed helpful and constructive. Any reviewer that meets all standards will receive an email notification with the Extended Warranty Confirmation."which is leading. Now, granted nowhere do they actually say leave them a good review or a review of a certain number of stars. But who would give them a negative or even mediocre review and then turn around and ask them for a gift? And would such reviews be considered helpful and constructive? I don't know. I believe though this is effectively buying good customer reviews with a small bonus, which ought to reflect poorly on them and is against Amazon's review guidelines.Again, the device is decent, but just keep the above in mind while looking at the reviews.
Pleasant Wake-Up Call
August 30, 2010
I've had this alarm clock for almost a month now and for the most part, am pleased with my purchase. The dual alarms are convenient; one time for M-F and another for weekends without having to manually change the setting every week. I know the time is always accurate - I can rest secure even if there's a power failure that I will get up on time. It's compact size doesn't take up too much room on the night stand. The red ceiling projection light is soft and non-disturbing, yet it does the job. The radio is just a convenient plus and use it to listen to weather forecasts.My one complaint is that the display light for the front of the clock is too bright, even in its 'dim' setting. It lights up my entire night stand - like having a 'night-light' plugged in. It's a bother on sleepless nights. When you turn it away from you, the ceiling projection is sideways. On the bright side, (pun intended), I don't have to switch on a light if I make a bathroom trip in the middle of the night. This bothersome feature is why I gave it a 4-rating instead of a 5. Perhaps Magnasonic can work on improving this feature.

the clock is small so it takes up very little space. it is very hard to set the alarm. the directions are not clear how to turn off the alarm once it goes off nor to turn it off so it doesn't ring on the weekends. i am very disappointed as this clock was replacing another clock that was hard to set. i am very frustrated,
Very Small Alarm Clock With Some Advanced Technical Steps to Achieve Simple Tasks
March 31, 2016
This alarm clock is very small/compact compared to most. The snooze button is probably 1/4 the size of a typical alarm clock. Based on reviews I read, I was very attentive to the directions on how to set the alarm and how to turn off the alarm. It is high-tech,more like an early version of a phone app, and not recommended for non-millenials. The key is to decipher that the alarm is turned off by pushing the fourth button from the left on top of the clock. It has a small on/off symbol and is only mentioned when it tells how to disable the snooze function. You don't have to push the button and hold it down for two seconds every time you want to turn it off, which is how you set it. It is much more complex than flipping a switch.Unless you are technically savvy, have pretty good eyes, and read directions thoroughly, I would not recommend this clock.
Good cheap alarm clock
March 4, 2016
I've had it for almost 2 years now... still works fine. To be honest, I only use it as a clock, don't use the radio nor the alarm function. Something weird that I've noticed: when I set the time, after one day, when my phone shows 7:30, the clock shows 7:35... Weird but well, it's only 5 min and it only means I have an extra 5 min to get ready in the morning... For $15, it does the trick
Here is your instruction set...
February 1, 2015
The clock radio I had been using for over two decades finally died (a drink was spilled on top of it). I needed to find a replacement fast, preferably without spending an arm and a leg. This is the model I selected; and although I think there is a lot of room for improvement, I am happy with it overall.What I Like:-----------It's electric. Plug it in and don't worry about ever changing batteries.It has a battery backup (2 AA batteries req'd, not included). In the event power is lost, the batteries allow the unit to retain all its settings and continue functioning.It has two separate alarms, allowing me to keep my 'primary' always set at the same time while using a 'secondary' as required. Each alarm may be independently enabled/disabled, and the type of alarm sound (beeper or radio) may be individually set on each. [Note the product description says "buzzer", but it's really a beeper.]The display is easily readable, even with my less-than-youthful eyes.The unit's footprint is about 1/3 that of my old clock radio. Very compact. Of course, that means the speaker is smaller too (worse sound quality), but big deal. It's an alarm clock, not a home entertainment system.It has the ability to adjust the display brightness (although limited in its options).Digital radio tuner.WHAT I DON'T LIKE:-----------------NO INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!!!! What you get in the box is a clock radio and a "Quick-Start Guide", which does not cover everything you need to know about the unit. For example, the Quick-Start Guide tells you how to set your alarm when you first take it out of the box, but it does _NOT_ tell you how to stop the alarm once it goes off, or how to disable it after it is set. The Quick-Start Guide refers you to a manual on the company website ("for more product information, go to <website> and refer to the user manual"). So off to the website I go; but the joke's on me... the "manual" on the website is the same stupid Quick-Start Guide that came in the box! A lot of good that does.No option for 24-hour time display.When setting the time, you can only cycle through the hours/minutes in one direction. So, for example, at the end of daylight savings time when you want to set the time back one hour, you have to go forward 23 hours rather than just going back one.Likewise, when setting the time, if you hold a button down, the rate at which the numbers change does not increase. You have to sit there holding the dang button for about 1 second per number change.Once you have your alarm time(s) set, enabling/disabling the alarm is not a straightforward nor intuitive process.All the buttons are the same; i.e. there is no way to distinguish tactilely which button to press to turn off the alarm after it sounds off in the dark when you're half groggy.Snooze time is NINE minutes! Five is ideal, seven is pushing it, but nine???This unit is too digital. There are two features that would be better served with an analog control (or a much MUCH finer granularity in their digital intervals): the volume control and the display brightness.Volume setting '1' (out of 10) is still too loud for my purposes.No atomic clock automatic update feature.OTHER OBSERVATIONS:------------------To the best of my knowledge (I could be mistaken), there is no "low battery" indication for the battery backup. If that is true, then you will need to continually monitor the battery level via some sort of manual method; and if you don't, then that renders the backup feature rather useless (i.e. the power going out with dead batteries is the same as the power going out with no backup system at all).There are 20 radio station presets that can be programmed; but they aren't "universal". That is, there are 10 FM presets and 10 AM presets, not 20 mix-and-match. Either way, that's probably more than enough for 99.9% of people.The alarm is constant volume, not a crescendo alarm.There is a 'sleep' timer that allows you to listen to the radio up to 90 minutes (in 10-min increments) before automatically shutting off.HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS:--------------------As I said, there are no instructions supplied with this unit. Here is what I've been able to figure out on my own, whether from the Quick-Start Guide or through trial-and-error. I do not know if this covers all the features of the unit or not, since obviously there's no way to know what all the features are w/o a manual to explain them! :-)For purposes of terminology... there is a row of six buttons on the top of the unit. From left to right I'll call those: 'H' (hours), 'M' (minutes), 'SET', 'RADIO', ALM1 (Alarm 1), and ALM2 (alarm 2). Also, there is one additional (much larger) button in front of the row of six, which I'll refer to as the 'Sleep/Snooze' button (it's a left/right rocker type button).The display area consists of the usual digits plus five LED lights; three of the lights are aligned vertically on the left edge of the display and two are on the right. The ones on the left are (from top to bottom): PM (to differentiate between 4:00am & 4:00pm), 'alarm 1 beeper', and 'alarm 1 radio'. The two on the right side are 'alarm 2 beeper' and 'alarm 2 radio'. Okay...SETTING THE TIME:When you first plug in the unit, the display begins flashing and you can set the time immediately. If your unit is not flashing, you need to enter the time setting mode first. To do so, press and hold (for about two seconds) the 'SET' button until the display begins flashing. While your display is flashing, use the 'H' button to adjust the hours and the 'M' button to adjust the minutes. Sorry, the hours/minutes only adjust in one direction. When the correct time is displayed, hit 'SET' again. WARNING: Make sure you take the 'PM' LED into consideration when setting the time. The 'PM' LED is _not_ illuminated for times in the range 12:00 midnight to 11:59am; the LED _is_ illuminated for 12:00 noon through 11:59pm.SETTING THE ALARM:SELECTING THE ALARM SOUND (beeper/radio/off):These two specific functions are actually part of a more general alarm setting function that encompasses both. To change either, you need to first put the unit into the alarm setting mode. To set alarm #1, press the 'ALM1' button once, then immediately press it again and hold it (about 2 seconds) until the display begins flashing. You are now in alarm setting mode.Note: If alarm #1 was disabled before you entered alarm setting mode (neither the 'alarm 1 beeper' or 'alarm 1 radio' LED was illuminated), then entering alarm setting mode automatically enables the alarm in beeper mode, as indicated by the 'alarm 1 beeper' LED illuminating; but if alarm #1 was already enabled before entering the alarm setting mode, it remains in whatever mode it was already in.Once in alarm setting mode (flashing display), the buttons available to you are 'H', 'M', and 'ALM1'. Use the 'H' and 'M' buttons to set the alarm time. Again, make sure you take the 'PM' LED into consideration when setting the alarm time. Use the 'ALM1' button to cycle through the sound options beeper/radio/off (press once for each change)... but see the note further below about the quirky behavior when cycling through the options. The alarm 1 LEDs will indicate which alarm sound is active (one or the other LED will be illuminated, or neither if the alarm is disabled).When the correct alarm time & sound type are entered, do nothing. The unit will exit alarm setting mode and revert to normal timekeeping display after a few seconds.Setting alarm #2 is identical to the procedure described above, except you will use the 'ALM2' button instead of 'ALM1'.Note: When selecting the alarm sound (beeper/radio/off), going from 'radio' to 'off' IMMEDIATELY exits the alarm setting mode and reverts back to normal timekeeping display. This is awkward and non-intuitive (IMO); that is, changing from 'beeper' to 'radio' keeps you in alarm setting mode, but changing from 'radio' to 'off' kicks you out of alarm setting mode. This is a bit quirky. So if you wanted to change from 'radio' to 'beeper' you would need to enter the alarm setting mode twice: (1) Enter alarm setting mode. (2) Press 'ALM1' to change from 'radio' to 'off'. The unit reverts to normal timekeeping display. (3) Enter alarm setting mode again. Because the alarm was disabled before you entered alarm setting mode the second time, beeper mode is automatically selected for you. (4) Do nothing; alarm setting mode will exit after a few seconds. It would have been much simpler to have just kept the beeper/radio/off selection cyclic without kicking you out of alarm setting mode.CHECKING THE ALARM TIME:If you want to check an alarm time without actually changing it (or the sound type), simply hit ALM1 or ALM2 once. The currently set alarm time is displayed. The display reverts back to timekeeping mode after a few seconds.SNOOZING:When an alarm goes off, the beeper or radio (as appropriate) begins sounding and the corresponding LED begins flashing. Hit the Sleep/Snooze button to snooze. As far as I know, it makes no difference whether you rock the button to the left or right; either way pauses the alarm. The alarm's LED continues flashing to indicate the alarm is still active. Snooze time is nine minutes, after which the beeper/radio sounds off again. Repeat as necessary. I do not know how many times you can continue doing this; but an educated guess would be six times (so as not to exceed an hour total).TURNING OFF THE ALARM:After an alarm sounds, turn it off by pressing the 'RADIO' button. Note: This only turns off the alarm sound, it does not disable the alarm; so it will go off again at the same time the next day. See "Selecting the Alarm Sound" above if you actually want to disable it.ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS:Press-and-hold the Sleep/Snooze button until the display brightness changes. Repeat again if desired. There are three different brightness settings available (product description says two, but there are three). It does not matter which way you rock the Sleep/Snooze button, the progression is always in a downward circle (i.e. Hi->Med, Med->Low, Low->Hi).PLAYING THE RADIO:Hit the 'RADIO' button. The frequency is displayed and the radio begins playing. There is no AM/FM indicator; the displayed frequency is your indicator. To turn off the radio, press-and-hold the 'RADIO' button until the radio shuts off.ADJUSTING THE VOLUME:While the radio is playing, use the 'ALM1' and 'ALM2' buttons to adjust the volume. 'ALM1' decreases it, 'ALM2' increases it. NOTE: The same volume setting is used for the radio, alarm #1, and alarm #2; so whatever value you set here is also the value assigned to the alarm volumes.CHANGING FREQUENCY BANDS:While the radio is playing, press the 'RADIO' button to switch from AM to FM or vice versa. The appropriate frequency is displayed as you do so.TUNING TO A STATION:Turn the radio on. Use the 'H' button to decrease the frequency. Use the 'M' button to increase the frequency. Pressing and holding a button performs a scan in the appropriate direction.SELECTING A PRESET RADIO STATION:With the radio turned on (and the appropriate AM/FM frequency band selected), press the 'SET' button. "Pxx" is displayed (where "xx" is the 2-digit preset number, from 01 to 10) and the preset station begins playing. If that's the station you want, do nothing; otherwise hit 'SET' again and the next highest number is displayed and begins playing (10 recycles back to 01). When the desired preset station is found, do nothing. The display reverts back to the frequency after a few seconds.HOW TO SET A PRESET RADIO STATION:Turn on the radio, select the appropriate band (AM/FM), and tune to the desired station's frequency. Press-and-hold the 'SET' button until "Pxx" is displayed and begins flashing (where "xx" is the 2-digit preset number, from 01 to 10). Use the 'H' and 'M' buttons to select the desired preset number ('H' decreases it and 'M' increases it). Press the 'SET' button to assign the frequency to that preset and lock it in.SLEEP TIMER:With the unit in its normal timekeeping mode, press the Sleep/Snooze button once. "90" is displayed and the radio begins playing. Press the Sleep/Snooze button again and "80" is displayed. Press again, "70" is displayed. Etc. This is how long (in minutes) the radio will play before automatically shutting off. Note: Once again, it doesn't matter if you rock the Sleep/Snooze button to the left or right; the time duration can only be updated in one direction, from 90 down to "off" (in 10-minute increments).-------------I hope the above instructions are helpful. You're welcome, Electrohome. I just did your job for you.I debated long and hard about how many stars to rate this product. Once you know how to operate this thing, it's really not a bad unit, so I'm tempted to give it four stars; but in the end I gave it only three stars instead. Products lacking a decent well-written instruction manual is a pet peave of mine, plus there are a lot of improvements that can be made to this product to make it more user-friendly and intuitive, plus a few "missing" features that I would like to see. For a $15 clock-radio, though, you really can't go wrong with this product.
Nice little radio for the price
January 15, 2015
Nice little radio for the price. Red LED display is best for the bedroom, Blue and green displays are supposed to disrupt sleep, and being able to dim the display is a bonus. Sound is a bit tinny but to be expected for such a small speaker. It would be nice if the sound could be turned down a little lower. The lowest setting is a bit louder than I like but is acceptable. The button to turn off the alarm is too small to easily find so I put a small bit of hot melt glue on it so it is obvious when fumbling with the radio while only half awake in the dark. The operating instructions that come with the unit are horrible. I think they had a contest to see who could write instructions using the fewest words. I'm still not %100 sure I have turning the alarm on/off down. You push and hold the alarm set until it blinks, but I think you need to wait 3-4 seconds before tapping to switch between buzzer/radio/off. At least the instructions cryptically refer to waiting 3-4 seconds for something. Poking at it long enough I get what I want but it's more difficult than it should be. I just wanted a simple clock radio/alarm with a battery backup with a red display and this fits the need nicely. I think the rating of this would be better if they just included a decent set of instructions.
A great digital clock for the price -- but reliability may be a problem
March 1, 2013
I was looking for an LED digital clock and eventually decided that my best choices were with clock radios. I wanted something small, and one that didn't use either 9V or coin-type batteries for backup: this one uses two AA cells. (I wanted battery backup, so I don't have to reset it every time there is a momentary power glitch.) It is easy to operate. I have had it for just over one week. It is keeping good time (as expected). The battery backup worked fine when I unplugged it to carry it from one room to another.I am updating this review as a result of the clock "dying" (no display, no radio) approximately two months after I started using it. The cost of shipping it, insured, to Buffalo, NY, was only slightly less than the cost of the clock (less S&H). I received my replacement yesterday. It does not work perfectly (minutes do not set as they are supposed to).As a result of this review, I was eventually contacted by the Amazon supplier. The supplier was very good at handling my complaints and remedying the situation to my satisfaction. I now have a working model of this radio in my house, and at an acceptable out-of-pocket expense. I appreciate their concern for customer satisfaction. Evidently my experience with this product is not like that of others who have purchased it. I look forward to a long use of this clock radio.

Not as great as reviews
July 6, 2017
I bought this alarm clock because of all the great reviews but after using it I wish I had just gotten a cheap basic one. It isn't a bad clock, but I didn't think it was amazing. The one nice thing I like about it is I can set it to work Monday through Friday and not worry about turning it off. These are the things I don't like about it:- the clock face light is so extremely bright I found it to be too bright in the night for me.- when I turned it to the soft light, I can't read it from my dresser and have to rely on the projector- the projector only works in two directions so if you want the clock facing you on your nightstand, the time projected on the ceiling will be sideways- the projector doesn't work on sunny days especially for me because in the summer it gets light for me around 4am- the radio on its softest volume is too loud for me. I was disappointed that I couldn't get it lower
Good clock but projections won't work in less than a year.
May 27, 2017
This clock has very nice functions but is complicated to use. It's a learning curve do how to operate the alarm clock but once you get it, you would like it.This is my second projection clock and the projector stopped working in less than a year: shows a wrong time that couldn't be changed and later won't display right. Seems like this kind if projection clock has a short life or maybe that's why they ask you to buy the protection plan...I will try a different product.
Projector needs brightness adjustment, and the ability to go brighter.
April 9, 2017
I work nights and sleep during the day, so I have my room set up with blackout curtains, and it's generally pretty dark in there - but there's still a little light the bleeds in around the curtains. This clock is set up about 15 feet away from the wall I project it onto. I did that so that the numbers would be very large, so I and my wife can read them without glasses (the farther away you project, the larger the numbers). This distance is clearly within the design specs of the unit, because the projector has a focus knob on it, and my projection comes into focus somewhere in the middle of the range.The display is dim enough to be kind of difficult to read in my blacked-out daylight conditions. If I open the curtains just a little bit and let any light into the room, the projected display is not visible at all. Even in the dead of night, it isn't all that bright - but you can see it.I understand that, to make this display brighter, they would have to have a laser that is really bright that potentially shines across a path people cross, and could hit some people in the eyes. So it's a compromise. All I'm saying, is that if you want a really good solution for viewing the time without your glasses, get a large, backlit face clock and hang it on the wall.
Doesn't keep accurate time...disappointing!
December 27, 2016
I like everything about this clock except for the fact that the time is not accurate. It is 4 minutes off from the correct time according to my iPhone and Alexa. 4 minutes slow. After reading the one star reviews (unfortunately I read those AFTER I ordered the clock) I realized that this is a known problem, possibly due to the fact that the time is factory set and the clock isn't atomic.I will most likely be returning this clock, incorrect time is a deal breaker for me.Projection works nicely, I was able to program both alarms by following the instructions. Radio sound is a bit tinny but to be expected as this is a small radio.
A Lot of Features, Good Sound, Limited Placement
June 26, 2014
This clock radio has a lot of nice features: Auto adjustment, dual alarms that can be independently set up to either turn on the radio or buzz. The ceiling projector is nice, too. It has a wire for the indoor temperature sensor, so it can be placed more stategically. For example, my clock is located below my air conditioner, but the sensor is picking up the temperature in front of my dresser, away from the direct air flow of the air conditioner. For a non-premium clock radio, the sound is pretty good. Not high fidelity by any means, but a lot better than I usually hear from similar radios in the price range. So, why three stars? Well, first of all, the main reason I wante a large numbers clock was so I could see the time without my glasses. While the display is larger than most, it still isn't that large. The projection display also is not that big, but I can aim it to be closer. At a distance of approximately 6 feet, I cannot clearly read the numbers without my glasses. Closer than that is fine. Of course, this depends on how bad or good one's vision is. The other thing is that the auto setting for the brightness of display doesn't seem to adjust. In fact, it makes the display barely visible, even in the dark. Perhaps I have a defective one. However, I have not found either the low or high settings to produce disturbing light at night. Finally, the auto set has set the clock 2 minutes behind my other auto-set devices. It can be changed manually, but it seems odd that it is two minutes off. But, I'm one of those crazies who tries to get every clock in the house to change at the same time.
Much brighter than you think...
June 16, 2014
The one comment that is echoed in several reviews is that the display digits are too bright. Well, I have to say the reviews have really understated the situation.First of all, it needs to be known that the display has a switch to control brightness. There is a "Bright" (or "Normal") position, a "Dim" position and an "Off" position. When in the "Off" position, you can still just barely see the digits in the day but you have to look very close.So the big complaint has been that the "Dim" position is still too bright. So how bright is it? Well, let's just say that I can see everything in my bedroom without turning on any lights. And since this little flashlight is sitting on my headboard, you can certainly understand why this is annoying as heck.But there is another annoying design flaw in this product. The radio is not digitally tuned. Yes, it does display the station number in digits but the tuning is analog. If you remember those old transistor radios from 30-40 years ago, you will know what I am talking about. They designed it this way to save money but the tuning result is horrible. Since there is no phase-lock-loop (PLL) circuit, the radio drifts in and out of being spot on. This is equally annoying.Finally, it must be commented that the initial setup of this little device is a much more complicated that a typical clock radio. You will definitely need to read the instructions and I mean more than just a brief review. Many of these modern devices use buttons like Up and Down that perform multiple functions depending on the mode that has been initiated. And that is exactly the case when you try to set the alarm time. So just take the time to have the manual handy when you program this for the first time.Two things that did work very well were the setting of the time and the time projection on the ceiling. The time was set automatically immediately on power up. This feature worked perfectly. And the clarity of the digital time projection is outstanding.

It claims to have a snooze button and says it does but it does not work. Also AM reception is horrible. I do like the compact size. Could not figure out how to set the alarm and think the "weather" part is unnecessary and does not work correctly. What it does welll is tell time, but that could be done with a watch!

April 23, 2016
The clock is very well built I like to digital tuning on it and the sound is good but it does have one drawback in my office at my job I can't get no reception on this radio even with the antenna hanging out. One of my co-workers has a little radio but I bought from Family Dollar it picks up all the stations. That's the only reason I was disappointed it wouldn't work inside. But it would work at my house. I need one that's very sensitive to radio stations that are weak. But other than that it's well-built It's All Digital
Hard to Set and Clear Alarms
February 9, 2015
It looks nice, has a very visible display and keeps good time even through a power failure. Even though it has a very small speaker, the radio sound quality is good. If you want a nice digital clock that keeps time through a power failure with adjustable display illumination and a minimal AM/FM radio, the Electrohome Digital AM/FM Clock Radio will well meet your needs. If you want an alarm clock with two alarms that an average human can set, activate, and deactivate, look elsewhere. This device has only seven buttons to handle all functions which requires that each button control multiple functions. Button usage is not intuitive and even when following the instructions it is difficult to set and activate the alarms. The instructions do not include how to silence or deactivate (turn it off before it sounds) the alarms. Trying to use this clock radio as an alarm clock is very frustrating and cannot be accomplished without consulting the limited instructions provided.
Clunky controls, iffy radio reception
April 29, 2014
I read reviews of people saying they had a hard time with the controls, but foolishly thought that I was perhaps smarter than the average bear and it wouldn't bother me. I had no trouble figuring out how to set the time & it wasn't hard to figure out how to set the time for the alarm... BUT turning the damn thing off is ridiculous. It's simply cruel to have an alarm which is so tricky to turn off! It's also tricky to set the alarm again - I set it to alarm instead of radio on accident the first time. Very counter intuitive. These should be a key, easy to use features.The radio has digital tuning so I figured it would do better than the ancient alarm dial radio with no antenna that I was replacing. WRONG! It sounded ok when I first tested it, but the first time I tried to use it as an alarm, it was only quiet static. I extended the antenna all the way to no avail. When I tried later manually without having the alarm turn it on, it tuned in better, but still not great. This is located in the exact same spot as my old alarm radio. I cannot understand why it doesn't want to work with the alarm. That was the whole reason I bought this. I like to wake up to the radio, but it looks like I'll be switching to my phone for an alarm.I advise not getting this product, but others seem to have liked it... Maybe the radio on mine is defective.The good things about this alarm clock are that it is compact yet sturdy enough that it isn't going to fall off your nightstand when you hit the snooze button. The red lit clock is easy to read without being too bright.
Husband frustrated on how the alarm buttons work to turn it off.
January 30, 2014
had to return it before he threw it out the window!not a single push but a series of clicking the button a certain way with pauses to get the alarm off.as you face the radio, the second button from the right button must be used to turn the alarmOff. Click quickly once... pause a second then click -holding a second, click again -holding another second.the alarm time should now be blinking. if it is, click same button quickly once if you have the radio as the alarm or twice if the buzzer is the alarm until the red dot is not visible on the left side of the time. the alarm is now turned off.to turn it on again for next day. repeat the button sequence to get the alarm set to go off again.too much for us to deal with too early in the morning!
Digital clock with digital tuner and digital volume
October 3, 2013
After dealing with numerous clock radios that couldn't stay tuned to a station and made crackling noises when the volume was adjusted, all I wanted was a unit with digital controls. I dismissed the other reviews that complain about the user interface. Look, you can learn it if you have the directions, BUT, really, it's pretty bad. All the buttons except snooze are the same size and shape and evenly spaced in a single row, making them difficult to tell apart from bed without your glasses. So many buttons have a different function depending on the mode the system is in and how long you hold them. For example, the same button that changes from am to fm also turns the radio off. The button that decreases volume sets alarm 1 and the button that increases volume sets alarm 2. The snooze button doubles as the sleep button and also dims the display. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with all this, it just seems totally random. If you have room in your brain to learn all this stuff then you may find the EAAC200 digital clock radio acceptable. The only other issue is that the volume on the lowest setting is quite loud.EDIT:UGH!!! So here I am at 5 in the morning trying to unset the alarm before it turns on so as to NOT wake up the wife, couldn't figure it out, and woke up the wife. Here's what I was unable to guess after 2 minutes of screwing with it (Alarm #1 quick, Alarm #1 long, Alarm #1 quick, Alarm #1 quick):SETTING ALARM 11. Please ensure the radio is off.2. Press the (Alarm #1) button once to view current alarm setting then press andhold the (Alarm #1) button to set alarm 1. The alarm time will flash onthe display.3. Press the HR button to increase the hour.4. Press the MIN button to increase the minutes.5. Once alarm time is set, press the (SET) button once to confirm setting. * To toggle between buzzer and radio alarm mode, press the (Alarm #1) button until the desired option is highlighted on the led display. * Radio Alarm 1 (Red led dot appears to the right when set) * Buzzer Alarm 1 (Red led dot appears to the right when set)EDIT x2:So now that I've posted this comment about the usability of this product, I get contacted by the seller directly, offering to teach me how to use the product, and after I indicate that it is not a problem with my understanding of the product but with the design of the product, they send a follow-up email asking me to update my comment since there's nothing wrong with the product. Always fun to be harassed but people that can't read. I assume people - could be a computer contacting me, based on the responses.

Clock runs slow
June 5, 2017
Yes it does project the time which is what I wanted. What I also wanted was a clock that kept the correct time. This clock loses a little over one minute per month. I reset the clock at the beginning of January (yet again) and set it one minute ahead. Now six months later it has lost seven minutes and I will have to reset it again. This is not something that I want to keep doing. It is annoying having to remember how much time it has lost and then add it to display to get the correct time.
Worst radio sound ever.
March 20, 2017
I like most of the alarm clock. I really like the display and projection, however, there are two reasons why I will probably send it back. First, the alarm only goes off for 30 minutes and there is no way to change this. I enjoy listening to the radio in the morning and 30 minutes is just not long enough. Second, and probably the fatal flaw is the sound quality. The sound is awful and very crackly. It sounds worse than any alarm clock radio I have ever owned! For a clock and thermometer, this is great. For a radio, it is the worst.
Not a good fit
March 11, 2017
I found this clock to be overcomplicated. Even after familiarizing myself with the layout, waking to this clock was not pleasant as I have traditionally had a wide, fat snooze button on a clock with a low center of gravity. I've knocked this thing over about twenty times now. Plus, I've discovered that while I thought having the time on the ceiling would be cool, it just pi$$e$ me off now. The characters never seem quite right and if you want to orient the letters so you can read it when you're laying on your back, then you can't see the alarm in the dark room to turn it off. If you're a stomach sleeper, don't even bother. Just keep you're old one. It's a good product. It works. It's does what it's advertised to do. I just thought it would fit my life better.
Two stars after first night
January 24, 2017
First impressions I would have given this clock four stars but then I used it. The buttons are a little confusing, they all have multiple functions depending on what you are doing but I was able to get it setup without reading through the directions so they can't be all that bad. There are no dedicated buttons for radio presets so you have to press one button multiple times to cycle through them, mildly annoying but OK. The volume is controlled by buttons, not my favorite but pretty standard so that's fine too, but there are only 15 volume setting options and the quietest settings is still a bit to loud to fall asleep to in my opinion. And finally, when setting the alarm you have to set a volume for it. I originally thought this was great, I don't have to remember to set the volume before going to bed every night. The next morning when the alarm went off I realized I had set the volume a bit loud, no problem, just roll over and turn it down right? Nope, when the alarm is on you can not change the volume, you have to turn the alarm radio off and the regular radio back on to change the volume.This is not a well thought out clock. All of the features are there and they all technically work but in practice nothing is as intuitive or straightforward as it could / should be.
Great Clock...for 3 days at a time
October 19, 2016
I ordered two of these to replace my alarm clock and my wife's. When they arrived, they were easy to setup (I only had to adjust the time by about 4 minutes). For the price, it seemed like a nice alarm clock. I like that there are two alarms that can be set to buzz or radio. The menus aren't as intuitive as other clocks, but easy enough to navigate. And the time projection was great.My wife's clock worked flawlessly out of the box, but mine had a dimmer issue. The display is supposed to have a HI-LOW-OFF dimmer setting, but mine was HI-OFF-OFF, no middle option. Well, the HI can light up a room and the off is more of a negative display (turning the screen black and the numbers a dim white). The LOW on the other unit is good for night time viewing, but mine didn't have that.I contacted the manufacturer instead of Amazon and they had me try a reset, which didn't work. So they sent me another unit right away. I was please with the customer service and how easy it was to handle this issue.The day the new one showed up, everything went right; however, the blue display was a different shade of blue than the original my wife had. This not only triggered a minor O.C.D. impulse in me, but also caused me to question the overall consistency and quality control of the manufacturer. But I can overlook that as long as the unit functions, and it did.No joke, 2 hours later my wife's unit started acting up. The radio was only bringing in static and there was a slight "digital" bleeping sound in the background. I tried adjusting the FM antenna with no luck. Then the alarm refused to be set. The button (pressed once to get into the alarm setting function, then pressed and held to start the set) would only let me see what the alarm was already set to, but not adjust it to a new alarm. Out of frustration, I unplugged it and plugged it back in...and the radio worked! Hooray. Clearly not an antenna or location problem, just something inside failed. But the alarm never regained functioning.Instead of dealing with getting ANOTHER new one from the manufacturer, I just sent everything back.Great clock if/when it works...but have two out of three fail in 4 days isn't a good first impression. Congrats to the several thousand people who had 5-Star success...but I'm in the 2-3 star approval range for this product. I've attached photos only to illustrate the dimmer settings of HI-LOW-OFF. The pics were taking with a crappy cell phone camera so I adjusted them to attempt to give a more accurate depiction, hopefully that helps SOMEONE, though my advice is to just buy something else entirely.
Not an atomic clock.
February 10, 2015
This clock comes with the time preset at the factory and that is maintained during shipping by a battery. On set up it simply asks you your time zone to adjust. Despite even saying "SelfSet" on the box, all the manufacturer intends is that the clock has a battery and will not loose the time during a power outage, just like every other alarm clock with a battery. When I bought it, I thought this clock would use the radio signals that "atomic clocks" use, but it does not.See the review by Tim H for more details: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1CQHI26PNBD3G/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003WGRUQQAs many reviews have said, the screen is very bright even on the lowest setting, but mercifully you can turn it off and rely on the projector.This clock also does not have a digital tuner for the radio. It will show you a digital display of which frequency you're close to, but it's an old fashioned wheel tuner so it's not locking on to exactly that frequency.The buttons are not self-explanatory. Almost every button has a special function that is enabled by holding it down, but you have no idea what that is without the manual. If you loose the manual you're going to forget how to even set the time.I sent this back and got a Sony ICFC1PJ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEYHMPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's a much nicer clock, doesn't have the brightness issue, and it has a digital tuner.

Should have set my sights a bit higher.
November 6, 2017
When my alarm clock of 15 years suffered fading digits and other issues, I decided I needed a replacement. Simple needs: dual alarm, AM and FM radio, snooze alarm and battery back-up. Ordered this and once it arrived I plugged it in, set time and alarm, installed the batteries and went to the bedroom to move the other one to the guest room. Well, major pain. Had to move the night stand, then the bed to get to the outlet then had to thread a light cord through a hole to permit the new one to go in. Went to retrieve my new one and when I unplugged it, the display went off. Weird, thinks I, it is supposed to be battery back up. Maybe it just holds the settings until power is restored. Nope, neither time nor alarm settings were preserved. Checked to be sure the brand new batteries were installed correctly and they were. Reset the time and alarm and figured I would find out at the first power glitch whether it can hold the settings.Turned out that I woke this morning out of habit. I had set the clock to a radio station but evidently during the lack of power it did not retain that either and I forgot to re-set it. Sought out a station then hit the snooze button. Nine minutes later, as promised it went off again. I hit the alarm button to turn it off and that did not seem to work. Got my glasses, put on the lamp and dug out the instruction sheet. Said to turn off the alarm press the alarm button and cycle through buzzer>radio>off. Well, no cycle for me. All it did was flash "0-0" so I gave up.Happened to be at my local warehouse outlet later so checked out their offering. Yeah, it was $30 more, 3X the price but for that I got a unit with well defined buttons and obvious controls. Gave up the AM station which I never listened to anyway but gained the ability to bluetooth songs from my phone or pad computer, as well as charge them plus I can stream from a variety of music sources to a machine with much better sonic properties. Oh, yeah, still had the dual alarm, snooze and battery back-up which actually works!Here's hoping the Goodwill customer who ends up with my donation fares better than I did.
No AM on this radio
September 22, 2017
I could not get the AM band to work. That is the primary reason I bought this radio for AM!No matter how I toggled the button it was either no number or FMThe FM is beautiful for a radio this size.I could not find a way to contact you on the documentation!
Frustration city.
August 19, 2017
This clock radio is the most frustrating piece of machinery I have ever owned. No matter what I do or how carefully I follow the directions, it has a mind of its own. I have not gotten it to work properly yet.
You get what you pay for
September 6, 2016
I am returning this alarm clock. It is not at all user friendly and the instructions are poor. Once I managed to get the alarm set, I couldn't figure out how to change it to another time of day and there is no off button! You have to hold down a button while the clock cycles through to off. When i tried that over and over, the alarm still didn't turn off. Save your money and buy an alarm clock that is easier to use.
Too Hard to Set huge pain
April 19, 2016
This clock is very hard to set. In fact it is so confusing that I had to have a jpeg made of the steps to set it, and I had to have that jpeg on hand just to set it. It became too much of a pain to even bother with so I just throw it out at some point. Most clocks have a logical way to set them, but this one made you go into sub menus to set it. I want an easy to set clock so I just use a devise now.
would not recommend to be purchased for alarm clock use
October 7, 2015
This clock has small buttons and is difficult to set. The radio alarm has worked and turned on sometimes, but most other times, it has not even when it is set the exact same way to the correct time and the alarm button is lit. It is not reliable to use as an alarm clock so unless someone just wants a small radio to use, I would not recommend it.

This clock ughhhhh!!!!
November 5, 2017
I hate this clock! I just want a simple clock to show the time & wake me up. I don’t like keeping my phone by the bed so a phone alarm is not an option for me. Plus my contact lenses come out at night so a big display is better for me. This clock is overly complicated for what I need it to do—give me the time & wake me up. The description also is a lie when it says that it will change the time automatically when daylight savings time ends or starts—today daylight savings time ended & my clock did not change:/ Plus I really do not love the fact that I have to pull out the operating manual to make it do things like the alarm not coming on while out of town. Oh & today I have to update the time since the clock didn’t like they said it would so of course the owner’s manual will have to be pulled out again. I’m not technologically challenged but this clock makes me feel like I am. Today I ordered a humble, simple RCA clock. When it gets here this piece of poo is going in the trash!

Radio died... I should have listened to all of the people saying this. I really liked this alarm clock now I am really disappointed that I spent the money on it. I should have bought a cheap one at Walmart. It would have been more reliable and dependable.
Not recommended. Loses time @ 1 min p.d.

I purchased this clock as a holiday gift but did. It set it up until 3/20. It started to lose a slow minute. Today on 4/30/17 it is six minutes late, a loss of a minute per week. Unfortunately, the return window closed on 1/27/17.
However Sound quality is very poor Volume control at the 01 setting is relatively loud

You do not even get what you paid for !Chose it because of the AM /FM digital radio, HoweverSound quality is very poorVolume control at the 01 setting is relatively loud. when setting as a pre-sleep setting, it will keep you up. and the wake up morning radio Alarm - will certainly get you out of bed."programming" is less than friendly and intuitive.When plugging anything - ( an I phone to be charged) into the same power strip there is a strong buzzing and humming sound. so much for the digital sound quality.This one is going back!
Poor quality. Bought 2, both defective
September 11, 2015
Bought two of these. First clock, one the buttons didn't work well. Had to press really hard, multiple times, to get them to work. Multiple buttons were defective, although some worked properly. Second clock, more of the buttons worked well, but some of them also had the same problem where you had to press really hard, multiple times to get them to work. In addition, the Nap buzzer kept going off every 90 minutes even though I turned the nap function to OFF. The funny thing is that I bought this same clock many years ago (when it had the RCA logo) and it lasted a long time with no problems. These clocks (although they look exactly the same as my old one) are of a much lower quality. If one was bad, I'd say it was a fluke, but BOTH clocks I received were defective. In my opinion, that is no longer a fluke, but indicates very poor quality.
Garbage
September 2, 2015
I've been having bad luck lately with well-reviewed products on Amazon. I bought this in May 2015 and I could never set the alarm properly--it's one of those things with tiny buttons in the back labeled A, B, C--and you have to have the instruction book in one hand, reading which combination of buttons to hold 3 sec or push twice, while you do whatever it says with your other hand. Somehow I set it to 7:05 am in May and could never change it; sometimes it rings at 7:05 am and sometimes it doesn't. So I gave up and just used it as a clock--but about two months in, it stopped displaying the time on the ceiling. Today four months later, the clock face went dark as well. If you hold it 1" from your nose you can barely make out that it is indeed still telling time but the bright face (that some people complained was TOO bright) is totally gone. Basically I paid not a cheap price for a clock whose alarm never worked and which lasted four months.
