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

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.

OK… only FM access… hardly a sin!The setup was super-simple and so intuitive that they cold ship this clock without instructions. If you accidentally set the snooze button without needing it (Saturday or so) pressing ANY BUTTON except 'snooze' lets you continue sleeping without the every 8 minute alarm.Others we've tried are so complex to setup with the worst English instructions on the planet that they're put back in the Amazon box and returned putting it by your bedside.Save your time and money…. get this one!

Lots of people have said the alarm is unreliable but I wasn't looking for an alarm. I needed larger numbers and something I could see from bed. Mind you, my clock sits on top of a dresser and as such is above what would be eye level. Unfortunately, this clock becomes un-veiwable from lower angles. Even with the brightness turned all the way up the display is still unreadable from certain angles.

Great little alarm clock. Loud alarm. Has a thermometer digital display and alarm display beneath the time. Backup battery option if power goes out. One touch alarm off or on button. No regrets buying it. Replacing my Sony dream machine I had for 15 years that’s alarm chime has drastically faded. Hopefully this one lasts just as long.

This was purchased as a replacement for a really old alarm clock that no longer works. Like the fact that you can control the display with a knob. The alarm goes off hit the button and it resets itself. Displays the time and alarm time. The temperature is a good added feature. Compact in size and orange display.

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

The radio cuts out for no apparent reason. Does not come back on unless I physically jostle it.A second radio of this exact model works well under the same conditions. I can only conclude that one of them is simply defective. Otherwise, the radio works as advertised.

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!
