Love the three alarm settings. I use the alarm M-F and Sunday (Saturday is turned off). I like that I don't have the set the alarm each night - it's always ready to go. I also like that daylight savings time is automatically handled.

I don't like the double-click necessary to turn off the alarm. There is no indicator letting you know that the alarm is off and not in snooze mode instead. A few times I've double tapped then left the room only to have my wife yelling a few minutes later that the alarm was still going off (oops, still in snooze mode).

Clock is not so good anymore.
Gains about 5 minutes every 3 months and I have to reset the time. And now the backlight is not working anymore.

Ok, is not perfect:
1) It easily falls on it's back.
2) Need to hit the top button twice to turn it off (if you hit once you get the snooze mode)
Besides that, is a nice item:
1) Nice alarm sound pattern (it starts smoothly and it gives you the time to react without waking up the whole family)
2) You can set the 3 alarms: one for working days (Mon-Fri), one for Sat and one for Sun

I have the alarm clock at home and I would like to strongly recommend to everyone out there with a fixed weekday schedule but a flexible weekend one.

The alarm clock works perfectly. I like its buzz pattern which is very pleasant. It wakes me up gently. I especially enjoy the lighting feature, which allows you to lite up the LCD screen by simply pressing any button. This real makes seeing the time easier in the middle of the night. The clock is also very light and it is ideal for bring it with you when you are traveling.

Overall, this is a wonderful product and I think every family should have one.
