Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an excellent reviewer because I don't place a review until I have used the product for at least 6 months. This gives buyers a realistic review of what to expect with any product. I bought two of these units for my two children 9 months ago. One unit just does not work. I kept shutting the alarm off, but it goes back on and rings at 6am in the morning, every morning. I unplugged the cord one month ago and the lights are off and there appears to be no power to the unit, but the alarm still beeps at 6am every morning. That means it must have a great battery life because the alarm cannot go off without power for over 1 month! I don't get it and I don't know what to do with that unit that does not work. This unit is sitting in my son's closet on the floor and he is back to using his iphone for music, clock and alarm. The other unit does work. The clock keeps time and the colors are soothing, but my daughter does not use it for an alarm clock because she said it was too complicated to set the alarm, change it for different days and turn it off on the weekend. I told her she must be crazy, so I tried to change alarm times and turn on and off without reading the manual. I could not do it without reading the manual and I consider myself a technology guy. The speaker on both units are very low quality and not as good as the speakers on my kids' iphones, so they don't listen to music using the clock speakers. So my daughter also uses her iphone for music, clock and alarm. This clock radio has poor sound quality, not terrible or fuzzy, just not as good as any late cell phone's external speakers. The durability is poor. And it is not easy to use at all. It definitely was not worth buying these clocks.
