This low profile clock radio is superb for tight spaces, and it's loaded with features. For instance, the dual-alarm feature permits setting two separate wake-up times eliminating the need to reset. Digital synthesized tuning locks-on to your favorite stations. Large easy-to-see LED display is highly readable from a distance, even at night.

I recently purchased this radio without reading the reviews. After I ordered I read that the auto-time set feature did not work in NYC. I was prepared to return the radio when it arrived because that was the main reason I purchased it. It arrived and the auto-time set feature works fine. I live in upstate NY, near Albany so maybe it is just a problem with the NYC area. Being able to set two wake up times is also a great feature.

I also could not get it to use the feature that automatically sets the time as an NYC resident.

Although generally pleased with this clock radio -- inasmuch as it does a fine job of performing the basics -- it was somewhat of a disappointment. One of the interesting features that prompted me to purchase this model was its supposed auto time-setting capability. However, the radio signal that enables the unit to perform this function is reportedly transmitted out of Colorado, USA. I live in NYC, which apparenty is too far away to be able to pick the signal. In a nutshell, auto-time set doesn't work for me.I would recommend the product to anyone looking for a logically designed, compact, easy-to-operate clock radio. However, if you are buying it for the auto time-setting function, you might be out of luck if you live in a region on the outer fringes of the US continent like I do. Therefore, buy a simpler model and save a few bucks.
