This clock serves it's purpose adequately enough, however the design and placement of all those buttons is lacking. Most people reach out and turn off their alarm in the dark. It is difficult to find the off button. You have to feel your way around the top of the unit. The "Off" button should have been more protruding or pronounced or placed elsewhere not to be confused with all the other buttons next to it.

I was looking for something small for the bathroom. This radio's dimensions are slim enough that it fits nicely on the self by the mirror...until you plug it in.
Cons:
The power cord jack is in back so it makes the dimension about 3/4" wider than listed.
The battery back-up (supposedly included) didn't work, I've had to reset the time 2x in 1 week due to power 'bumps'
The auto time zone setting is so far off I'm not even sure what it's suppose to be tracking
The volume control for the radio won't go low enough and as far as I can tell volume #'s 1-4 have no difference
The radio station pre-set is awkward and unituitive. I've had to reset the stations 2x due to the above mentioned power 'bumps'
The only way to tune in the stations is to use the scan button which means you have to press and hold the button a few seconds, the radio scans to the next station, stops, you press and hold the button, etc.. Very frustrating!

Bottom line: even thought it's only $15 it's not worth it.

This is the most inexpensive alarm clock with a digital radio tuner and an automatic time set that I could find. Both of those features work well. Unlike the product photo, the display is red. The footprint of the clock is small, and the digits are about 3 inches across. You can set two alarm times. I've found that the alarm stops going off after hitting snooze repeatedly for an hour. It's two hours on some other alarm clocks. That may not matter for some folks, but it's not something that's typically listed in product descriptions.

The sound is tinny and is what you would expect from a small, inexpensive alarm clock. For that reason, the auxiliary audio input is a gimmick, because you wouldn't actually want to listen to music using this. However, I'd still recommend this alarm due to the digital radio tuner and automatic time set.
