This is one of those simply great alarm clocks, no bells and whistles, no complicated features that you can't figure out. Just plug it in and set time and alarm time and you're good to go! Nice and clear 0.9 in LED numeral display without other stuff cluttering the screen. Big snooze button on front of base, as well as alarm Off/Hi/Low slider. We did sneak in one little extra feature, because it just made sense, USB charging port for your mobile device is on the side of the base, so that you and your phone can start the new day, refreshed and recharged.
