Query: you get what you pay for, mostly

This is a product I'd have returned if I thought I could do any better for the price, but it looks like I probably wouldn't and it's better than the broken, old clock radio it's replacing. Cosmetically it's not very attractive; the black-and-white look is clunky without being retro or even ironic. Controls for brightness and volume are in the far back of the chassis, making these adjustments inconvenient when I'm in bed struggling to set things up properly. The radio is a weak, crude analog setup that does not pick up most of the (large, powerful) stations I listen to. But the variable snooze is a nice feature, the numbers are easy to read, and I like having two alarms. No battery backup; an input for mp3 players is strangely placed in the front of the chassis (where volume control by rights ought to be). Far from a perfect product but perfection is rarely purchased for this price.
