Pros: 4 alarms, Dimmable, Nice appearance
After looking for about 3 months, I finally found an "atomic" clock radio with digital tuning, day-of-week settings and 2 alarms (see below).I'm writing this because I appreciated being able to read the reviews of others when I was shopping for this item.I have only had the item for a few days, but it has met all my specifications so far. It has a nice display and the HWS (Humane Waking System) is great. The alarm (or radio) comes on *very softly* (which is usually enough to wake me), and then gradually increases in volume.I found the manual to be a bit difficult, but the size of the print has apparently been increased, because I found the 12-point type very easy on the eyes.I only expected to find 2 alarms, but was surprised and pleased to see it has 4 alarms, 2 for radio and 2 for buzzer. It took me a while to find out how to disable an alarm--press and hold the appropriate alarm button for a couple seconds.One complaint is that I hear a hum while listening to a local AM (manual calls it MW) radio station. It sounds like interference, but none of the other radios I have had in this location had this problem. I unwound and stretched out the antenna cord, to no avail. I will continue to explore to see where the interference originates.Another complaint is the lack of a battery backup, but after reading an earlier review, I found a solution, which I plan to look into. Go to [@] and look at their 12V Auxiliary Power Supply / Battery Charger. $40.74 as of March, 2011.Overall, I am very pleased with the product.
