I was looking for a radio alarm with battery backup, good sound quality, and a good "gradual wake" feature, where the radio alarm volume comes in gradually. It is on this last point that the unit really disappoints. If you set the volume to a relatively low setting like 10, it doesn't come on gradually, instead it is abrupt and jarring. Only setting to a really high volume does it show some gradual increase in volume, but even then it happens in just a few seconds. I was hoping for something like 30 seconds. I even sent the unit back to the factory twice (each time explaining the problem via email, their response was to send the unit in). After the second time, they informed me that that was the "default setting" and returned the unit with no change. At least they paid shipping both ways. But if gradual volume feature matters, this unit won't deliver, unless you want the radio extremely loud.
