This clock does have a nice display and great alarm features. However, within the first two months it started to randomly reset when the wave feature was used. Eventually, I turned the wave off, but that caused the display to go black again and again. This clock would have been perfect for me if it weren't for all these malfunctions. I thought mine might be a defect, but it seems that some people are having similar issues. I won't buy any Emerson products in the future.
