I purchased this alarm clock because I loved the idea of the extra-large time display characters. However, upon setting up the unit and trying to find a radio station with acceptable clarity that it would suffice for a wake-up station, I discovered that this unit is of such poor quality that I can not tune it ANY STATION on the AM or FM mode that is not HORRIBLY distorted by humming and static. Even the oldest, cheapest, pocket radio that I own is able to pick up at least of dozen local radio stations with great clarity. Once I gave up on the wake-up-to-radio-station capability, I tried the default "buzzer" alarm, but found that you can only control the volume of the buzzer with a high/low switch, which, even at the low setting, startles the daylight out of you and has an extremely annoying tone to it. This product is total garbage. Shame on Jensen, which used to be known for high quality speakers. I'd return this to Amazon for the fifteen dollars, but I don't want to even waste my time dealing with this piece of junk.

The radios looked good in the advertisement but found them to be very poor quality. I purchased 2 of these radios to put in guest bedrooms and neither radio worked properly. There was no clear reception to any radio station FM or AM, and the tuning knobs didn't work properly. Don't waste even a dollar on these!

We needed a clock near our TV / Entertainment system that was easily readable day or night. This is perfect! It's easy to read in the full light of the day, and it's super easy to see, yet not over distracting at night time. It's so both we and our kids know what time it is and easily with just a glance. "Do you know how long you've been playing on the xbox!?" we can now say with some authority. "It's 15 minutes past your bed time!" is another.

The green numbers were a plus as I feel they're easier on the eyes, especially at night. And the green matches most of our other components mostly-green lights.

That being said, I can't rate this item for it's alarm, nor it's radio. I haven't tried either at all.

I would never use this as a bedroom clock. It's too bright for that. I need total darkness.

For what we bought it for it works perfectly!

I bought this for my Great Aunt who wanted it for the large luminous display. For that purpose it is fine. The radio is terrible in every way. No frill with this at all. cheaply made product, serves its purpose though.

I couldn't easily find a plain clock that had big enough numbers, so I got this. I don't plan to ever use the radio. It does what I wanted, and, at the price, it doesn't matter that it has a radio I won't use.
