I only purchased this because I read all the good reviews. My much larger clock radio of many years finally bit the dust and I'm thrilled with this replacement. Yes, it is very small but such an improvement over what I thought was a pretty good previous device . We always wake to the radio and I sometimes had reception problems with my previous clock/radio. Couldn't believe that the station I always use came in clear as a bell having just stretched out the little cord antenna from its wound up position in the box. I was concerned about this because I was always having to adjust the antenna from my previous clock/radio to get decent reception. Everything is so simple to do on this little goodie ... yes one needs to check the instructions and follow them in the beginning but all is very clearly explained and apparently there is an instruction video from what it shows in the instruction booklet if one wants to check this out ... I didn't. For daytime this radio can be very bright and clear or dimmed as much as desired for night time by winding up or down the little dimmer switch in back. Like so many, I also love that this little device takes up so little room on my night stand, has two alarms that can be set, and it's so easy to set the time and alarms once one checks out the instructions. My only concern would be that the display might go missing parts as was the experienc of around 3 of the reviewers, but the Company sounds great and I think they all got replacements. I think I read that it's at least a year that the Co. will replace a defective product and it might be longer but, hopefully, a problem would show up in that time frame and the Company sounds from the reviewers to be very responsive. Lots of reviews to wade through on this little "guy" and most, like me, are very pleased with this relatively inexpensive clock/radio. If you're on a budget like a lot of us, I'd say go for it as I think this is a great bang for your buck!
