Review on HAPTIME Digital Alarm Clock Radio: Large LED Display with 4 Brightness Dimmer, Dual Alarms, Snooze, FM Radio with Sleep Timer - Blue Digits Clock for Bedroom by David Hodgson

big numbers but problems with programming stations

I bought this for my elderly parents because they needed big numbers. They like to wake up to the radio, not the beeper, so we had to use a clock radio. Apparently it's hard to find clock radios that have a "dial tuner" style, which is why we chose this one. The 20-station automatic programming sounds great until you use it. Here's the problem: it automatically adjusts FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WATCH FACE! And it can only store 20 stations. So my parents want to wake up at 106.1 and autotune is filled at 99.1. And over half of these autoscan stations are weird stations that most of us don't even know exist! You can reach 106.1 manually to listen to the radio, but DO NOT use it for an alarm. The clock radio feature can only be used with one of the 20 presets, and you cannot delete a preset and add your own. So if you want to wake up to the radio and your favorite station is above the 90s, pay attention!
