Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have an eye condition that will not let me sleep if any lights are on. Its pretty extreme, requiring me to cover a lot of things in electrical tape, and I've had to resort to putting my previous alarm clocks face down when sleeping, which sucks when you wake up in the middle of the night and just want to see the time. So I tried this alarm clock. I will say this clock is perfect for my needs. I have a way to set the timer, I don't have to worry about the light from the screen at all. The scroll that allows you to dim the light is wonderful and if I wake up in the middle of the night I can spin the wheel to brighten the screen enough to see the time and dial it back down to go back to sleep. I don't like using my phone battery at night so the radio is perfect and I have no problems with reception. The sound quality is mediocre, but that's not what an alarm clock is for - I only use the radio for alarm purposes after all. It's not horrible or tinny, just what you'd expect from a relatively inexpensive alarm clock. I haven't used the USB port, since I have wireless charging for my phone, so I don't know if it charges quickly or slowly, so you'd have to try that for yourself. It would have been nice to be able to program the device to turn off on certain days, but that's just a mild annoyance than anything else. Overall, it does the job, does it well, and is a good value. So if you're a light sensitive sleeper and want to control that above all else, get this alarm clock.
