This clock radio is okay. It’s very compact, and it’s easy to read both on the display and the projection if you use it. It’s easy to turn the projection off too. The buttons are pretty easy to access, and it seems to get good reception on the radio. Setting it is fairly intuitive, but there are dials for several features, and they are all over the clock. It has dual alarms, which is good, but you can’t set onIe for the weekend and one for the workweek, which I miss very much. You have to set it day by day, and the icon that tells you it’s on is small and hard to see.
I also wish the display was not white light. It’s very bright, and the dimmer is on the bottom of the clock, so if you don’t realize how bright it is until it wakes you up in the middle of the night, you’ll never find it. Even dimmed, it’s not my preference to have white light in my bedroom at night. On the other hand, for a child or elderly person, this clock can double as a night light. It’s a little like bright moonlight, I guess.
One feature it has that I like less than I thought I would is the variable snooze length. If I’m awake enough to change it from 9 minutes, I might as well get up. And it means I have to double press the snooze button.
Anyway, it’s okay. I think I’d like one with red or blue displays better, and I miss being able to set the days of the week for the alarms.

The whole motivation behind writing a review was because the projection had “failed” at < 6 months. It had not failed–apparently I accidently hit the “projection off/on” button when dusting. I discovered this when looking at the buttons with a magnifying glass.
I really dislike the buttons on this clock: instead of words, they have pictures. I suppose the thought was to make it user-friendly for non-English speakers. However… (1) The pictures are very small and detailed which means they are difficult to decipher with less than perfect vision. (2) The buttons on my other clocks have large, clear labels: SLEEP, ON, OFF, SNOOZE. I think they can be deciphered even by non-English speakers. I can read them from several feet away without glasses or a magnifying glass.
PRO
> Display is easy to read (and doesn’t flash/blink)
> Sleep button is flexible — set to 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, or 90 minutes or OFF
> Long antenna
> Easy to set the radio
> Good reception
CON
> Buttons not clearly labeled (to my thinking)
> Button labels excessively small.
> Sleep button not easy to use: (1) my other radios play for 60 or 90 minutes but you can adjust to shorter periods by tapping the sleep button again. In this radio, the default is 5 minutes; you have to adjust for longer periods. (2) The radio on/off button must be ON.

This has two preset times, you can set both or alternate between them. Sometimes I need to be up at 4:30 and sometimes 5:00. The projection on the ceiling is just bright enough, without being annoying, and it’s adjustable.

No es lo que yo esperaba! Porque yo lo compre para en caso de emergencia que no hubiera luz, se pudiera usar con las baterías, pero no funciona sólo con las baterías,

I bought this for my wife who can’t see the alarm clock on my side of the bed. I didn’t realize how convenient it is when you wake up in the middle of the night and can just glance at the ceiling to know it’s only 4 am and you can go back to sleep! I’m pretty sure I use it more often than she does.

This clock has many features. I basically use it to display the time on my ceiling at night. It does a good job. I set it to the lowest brightness. It has a focuser that works nicely too. No problems with this at all. I don’t use the alarm or radio.

First clock with ease of setting time.
Projection works very well, read able and easy to focus, and aim
