This is a nice IPOD-docking radio, with clock & alarm. It receives AM & FM signals well, and works great with the IPOD. Remote is small but useful. The sound is warm, with a bit of emphasis on the bass, which is nice. Size is a bit big, but not overly so. Controls pretty easy to use. Has "sleep" feature (90/60/30 min).However, there are a few drawbacks:1) though the display has a "dim" option, even then it is bright -- if you like a nightlite in the bedroom, it might not bother you, but if you like it dark, you'll end up laying something over the display, which means the remote won't work and you cannot see the clock2) no battery backup -- if the power goes out, you get to reset the clock & alarm (dumb!)
