 Snart Clock December 17, 2008
My wife got me one of these and I like not having to reprogram it if you loose power etc
The only thing both my wife and I wish the light would go dimmer and what you are allowed to dim it too.
 Great clock July 29, 2008

This is a great alarm clock, anytime the power goes off or you unplug it the thing automatically resets the time. You can also snooze by waving your hand in front of the clock. Nice design a bit large but not too bad.
 Not that great February 8, 2008

Two major dislikes:
* The body heat/motion detection is too sensitive to use with as a snooze "button".
* I am a heavy sleeper and the alarm is waaaaay to quiet to wake me up - this was the reason I had to return it.
Also, the front of mine was not assembled correctly at the factory which made the minutes very hard to read.
Likes:
* The auto-lamp is an excellent idea.
* I liked the fact it set the time itself.
 stupid design- it shuts itself off whenever you move! January 24, 2008

I had the same exact problem! The clock is designed so that you can "hit snooze" by just moving! The problem is, the motion sensor is extremely sensitive, and this thing sits on your night stand, right next to... you when you're waking up! As soon as you move, the alarm shuts off. And, yes, the instructions expressly state this feature is not active if you set the alarm to "radio", but the instructions are wrong. There's no way to shut this off. I'm returning this terrible product today.
Bad Design December 20, 2007

Huge problem with this design is the motion sensor idea. For this product it has 2 functions/uses, both of which are a terrible idea. First, you can set the clock light to High, Dim, or Motion/Off (not the exact name of this setting). The motion/off is so that after 10 seconds, the light goes off completely. If it detects motion, the light comes on. So the theory is that if you wake up in the middle of the night, you can just wave your hand in front of the clock and see the time. Not a bad idea at first thought. Except...it's a clock/radio designed to sit on your night stand right next to your bed!!! Everytime you move or roll over, the light comes ON (and in "high" mode...not dim mode). Strike One against this time.
Second function of the motion sensor is so you don't have to press a snooze button...you can just wave your hand instead. So now when your alarm goes off, if you just barely move...poof, sleep mode. And the sleep mode is like 10 minutes long! The manual specifically says it only does this when the "alarm" (buzzer) mode is used but that's not true at all. It does it even if you set the alarm to radio mode. Makes me wonder why they even bother to put a sleep button the radio. You can't use it because if you start to reach to hit the button, the motion detector puts it into sleep mode anyway. Strike two. Motion sensor...terrible idea for a product that sits right next to your bed.
The final strike is the touch-sensor you can plug your lamp into so you can just touch the pad on top of the clock to turn your light on/off. So now while you're fumbling around in the dark trying to your alarm off most of the time you end up hitting the light button and turn the lights on...which, if you have a 'significant other' that doesn't get up at the same time, is NOT a good thing. Especially a S.O. that is grumpy in the a.m. to start with. :-) Strike three for this product. I've had it 3 days and it's got to go...returning back to Amazon tomorrow (if I don't oversleep because I barely moved and put my alarm into sleep mode again)
