Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this alarm clock because of the glowing recommendations, after a lot of research. I payed particular attention to those that mentioned the brightness of the clock face, as I like a reasonably dark room when I sleep. All of the reviews that I read mentioned that it wasn't bad at all, so I was excited to go ahead and try this alarm clock. Those reviews were wrong - the clock face illuminates my whole nightstand and several everything else surrounding it for several feet. This is when I'm using the "low light" setting - I can't imagine what the medium or high settings would look like! I had started to sleep with the clock turned toward the wall to keep the light down - and yes, it still reflects off the wall - and one morning about 1/2 hour before it was set to ring, my husband turned the clock around to see what time it was. He ended up pushing a button and completely resetting my alarm from ringing on a Mon-Fri schedule to ringing on a Sat-Sun schedule. Needless to say, the alarm didn't ring that morning and I was late for work. I have never owned an alarm clock that allowed you to reset the alarm with the push of a button (unless it's ringing at the time, like with a snooze button) and I consider this a design flaw. I am happy with everything else about this alarm clock, so if you don't mind a nightlight on your nightstand, this might be the clock for you.
