Exactly what I needed. I have cats that were always stepping on the snooze and off buttons on regular alarm clockradios, so I needed something different. This fits the bill perfectly, and gave me more than expected. First, the color-changing option is a really neat, fun feature, in itself, and because you can easily adjust the brightness at any time it’s also a great nightlight which can then be brightened during the day. But what I really like, but didn’t expect, was the gradient sound for the radio alarm; it starts off lower and then increases so you don’t get startled out of sleep. So no matter where you are in your ‘sleep cycle’ you will awaken feeling better than with a regular full-blast alarm. It has a USB so I can charge my cell off it without needing another plug, and doesn't have a large footprint on my nightstand. The snooze buttons are in front of the other buttons and have tactile bumps so they’re easy to distinguish, and the stations come in clearly. Overall, I am very pleased and feel it’s worth the price.

I originally saw this in a store that shall remain nameless (it had bed stuff, bath stuff and was beyond everything else) but it was priced around $80. So, I did what I always do nowadays and came on Amazon to se if they had it cheaper...and 9 times out of 10 they usually do. Well, it was $30 cheaper so I thought why not.2 Days later the item arrived and I unpacked and had it set up within 5 minutes. Paired with my phone and ready to go.Let me say that I see the ads where they have the positives and the negatives, but I do not really have anything negative to say. It is a quality product, with solid build and it does exactly what it says it should do. The color changing is soft and slow and very effective and the quality of the speaker is brilliant.Overall I am very impressed and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good alarm clock / speaker / color changing thingamajig.

Update - after writing the glowing review below, I opened the battery case in the bottom as the low battery signal had started blinking on the display. There is a lithium disk battery included to save display info during a power loss - this one was quite corroded, as was the contact point in the device. Getting a replacement clock but still a drag.*****Had been looking for a replacement for an otherwise perfectly decent Electrohome clock radio with bad audio and increasingly bad FM reception. In spite of blue tooth and streaming gadgets galore, I still use a good old clock radio on my bedside table and listen to FM radio both morning and evening. This ihome radio out of the box had terrific sound and excellent FM signal compared to 3 other clock radios I had tested in that spot. The device is easy to set up and program and the glowing color display is fun (although too bright to leave on for sleep). In addition to the 5 different brightness settings for the display, it has alternate alarm sounds: birds, water, etc for your wake up signal, or you can use your own tunes from your attached phone. A great product, nicely designed.
