Review on Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Alarm Clock Radio with FM Radio, USB Charger, AUX-in, Cell Phone Stand, Snooze, Dimmer, and Battery Backup Function - White by Kirk Womack

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too many little buttons!

Nice compact table clock radio. Unfortunately, it's not user-friendly and the design needs to be changed. With all those tiny buttons on the top, it's really hard to know which one to use to turn the alarm on and off, especially when you're just waking up in the morning. Plus, unless your bedside table is higher than your bed, it's almost impossible to tell the time. I have a folded piece of cardboard under the front edge to pry up so I can see the dial. Adding a phone mount is a great idea, but the execution is lacking. The front lip is too small to hold my phone in place (Samsung Galaxy series). This can be a quarter of an inch high, while half an inch would be more practical. What I REALLY like is that the digital numbers have a dimmer so the bright LED light we all hate can be dimmed down to a decent sleep light. There is also a USB hub on the front so I can conveniently charge my phone without having to share an outlet. Eventually I'm sure I'll take another radio trip to see if I can change the buttons to make them more comfortable; maybe add some glue to the right buttons. I haven't found a phone holder solution yet; maybe a clip or something to add height. So I don't hate him, I don't love him.
