Buyer Reviews :
This clock radio was a recent purchase to replace my failing Panasonic model. I have not always had good luck with small GE appliances and electronics, but this item is an exception.
The large 1.4' green clock display is easy to read even without my glasses, at least while in bed. The auto-dimmer keeps the display at a comfortable brightness level and does not disturb me at night. The dual-alarms can both be set to alarm or music wake-up. The alarm tone is not the typical harsh, want-to-kill-that-clock sound, but a fairly reasonable beeping. It starts off at a reasonable volume and gradually gets louder. Turning off the alarm, using the On/Off button, resets it to go off the following day at the programmed time. The Snooze feature is a large button in the front-middle top of the clock that is easy to operate. It defaults to 9 minutes, but you can change that from 1 minute up to I believe 15 minutes or more. The Nap feature is essentially a third, short term alarm that you can set for up to two hours from the time you engage it. It's useful for naps, of course, and even as a reminder alarm. The Sleep feature allows you to fall asleep to music and is adjustable from 1 to 59 minutes. It does not interfere with the alarm settings.
I found all the controls easy to operate, except for the rotary tuner dial, which was a bit stiff. The controls are fairly intuitive, and after reviewing the manual once, I had no problem operating the available functions.
The AM radio tuner is typical for these units-nothing to brag about. The FM tuner, with built-in AFC, works fairly well. The mono speaker is located in the back of the unit. Volume was adequate, and the sound quality acceptable for such a unit.
All in all, I have to say I am very satisfied with this purchase.
