Makes me long for a wind up alarm clock.
This device is too complicated. After you set the alarm, you have to remember that this is not the same as turning the alarm on, so you have to hit another button. You also have to remember that hitting the OFF/RESET button on the top of the clock just turns off the alarm for that day. The alarm will go off the next morning unless you hit another button. This is especially annoying when the alarm goes off at 6 AM on a Saturday. The nature sounds are repetitive and irritating with the possible exception of the ocean. The mechanism of the CD player is noisy, making it difficult to listen to low-level music to sleep by. While the display is backlit, the controls are not, so it's difficult to turn things on and off in the dark. I would not buy another one of these.
