4.0 out of 5 stars Does everything it's supposed to...Ideal for the money., November 16, 2008

It's got a battery backup in case you lose power. You can wake up to track 1 of any cd. The speakers aren't real special but it's 28 bucks people. They are still decent speakers for the price. It's got a dimmer switch on the bottom so if you don't want the clock real bright, just switch it. Overall, I was happy with this purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't Set Clock - Plays CDs well, December 29, 2008

This one got two stars from me. On the positive side - the CD player works well - I got it for my daughter, and she's very happy about that - so happy that she doesn't want to return it - HOWEVER - you can't set the clock. You can set the minutes, but you can't change the hour. I guess this would be fine if you set your clock right after midnight, and wanted your alarm to also go off shortly after midnight - but otherwise, you're pretty much out of luck. I'm hoping this is just a fluke - the price was low - but if all I'd wanted was a cheap CD player, I could have gotten it for less. I'd recommend you save your money, or - if you're determined to buy this brand - then get it from a local store so you can have an easy exchange if (when) you run into problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, May 28, 2009

Bought this item for the multiple functions promised - radio, CD, clock and alarm. The clock fails to keep time thus cancelling out time and alarm function. The vendor will not replace it and the manufacturer does not reply to my email as to how it can be exchanged for one that works.
Spend your $$$ someplace else.
