I should have listened to the gazillions of other disgruntled customers, but it was the only product that had the combination of features I wanted. What a HUGE waste of money!!!The thing didn't work from the beginning. One speaker constantly cut out, but I had decided just to live with it. But within a month the so-called "Smart Knob" quit working entirely. Now the thing is useless - can't set the alarms, can't change the volume (permanently set at an inaudible "1"). What's the point? Can't use it as an alarm clock, can't use it as a stereo.It's going in the garbage!Do as I say and not as I did. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!
