Rating : - Solid clock-radio
I've owned four of these models for at least three years now - one at work, one in each of our two kids' rooms and one in the master bedroom.

Pros:

I like the features and controls on this unit. I've had no problem setting the alarm (waking to either the radio, CD or buzzer), changing CD play mode (repeat, shuffle), setting the clock (including a nice, one-button daylight savings time setting), even without the manual. We use the unit as our morning alarm every weekday with no problems.

There's a generous number of radio pre-sets - 10 FM and 5 AM.

The snooze button is nice and big.

I like the inclusion of weather radio bands, but note that the TV audio bands won't work anymore with the switch to digital TV signals last year.

Cons:

There's been some reliability issues - one unit completely died about a week ago - no power when plugged in. The one at work stopped playing CDs about two years ago.

Three stars overall - start with four, with one taken away for reliability issues.
