Identification and Background
This space saver alarm clock/radio is light and stylish. It comes equipped with a backup battery so that in the event of a power outage, it will continue keeping time ensuring that you never miss an important event. The large 1 inch LCD display is easy-to-read and amber color can be seen across the room. It is available in two colors, both of which have a mirror finish front screen for a sleek look. The dual alarm function allows you to set two different alarms that can be set to buzzer or AM/FM radio. This features an alarm that is a gradual wake alarm that wakes you slowly and not as abruptly as many other alarm clock systems available on the market.
This clock features an automatic time set. No matter where you are in the world, the clock will set itself to the time zone you are in.
Major complaints about this alarm clock/radio are that it is too bright (even on low setting) at night and can disturb a person attempting to fall asleep. There are also numerous complaints of the radio (sometimes even when not turned on) emitting a static sound that can be fairly annoying to anyone around.
