i don't use the alarm function. aesthetically it would be, unless you were used to the low kind, this is quite tall

Yes! it is what i use, you can adjust the brightness settings on the clock. I use the radio as an alarm, it is fantastic.

We returned it because something was unsatisfactory -- but that was long enough ago that I can't remember the problem! At least they were very good about taking it back. Sorry I can't give a direct answer.

Yes. My 90-yr-old mother only wants to hear the date and time. She never uses the alarm function. She presses a button on top to hear date and time.

I don't think so. It was too loud to be soothing and the alarm feature didn't work all the time when set.

I doubt it, especially if you need it to cover any other noise. It's pretty quiet. It would probably only work for that if the room you are in is very quiet and you keep the fan very near your bed. If what you really need is ambient noise in a fairly small package, there are some small alarm clock radios with an ambient noise feature or just straight-up ambient noise generators with no clock or radio, like this one: HoMedics SS-2000G/F-AMZ Sound Spa Relaxation Machine with 6 Nature Sounds, Silver

Ouch, this question is good mine works good, 24 time during night time, and morning hours with nomal time as you see it for p.m but is for morning, if you some more question ask me, I didn't buy for time but I have it front of my bed, when is 4:00 a.m I just see the time is correct. Great sound for small room actually. Hope you like it!

No. By the way, this is just a very bare bones alarm clock. No radio. The digital numbers are large, it's light and works well.

yes if you have the right cable. call amazon . they will be very helpful. but- if you can send it back- do so-there are better systems that worrk bedside. i got a sharp system that has a bass output. very good sound. my only diisapointment with it is it will display "bluetooth stby"" all night and day but if you want the simple time of day -remote button- 5 sec then gone- you need a backup clock.-incredebly stupid .do your research well.

iIt's the loudest timer I've ever had, though it's not horribly ear-splitting. It rings for about a minute (a beeping noise) unless you turn it off sooner. I don't think you could use it as an alarm clock though.

I have it next to my bed on my night table, and pull it close to face me diagnonally. I turn it on first thing in the morning, listen to the news, drink my coffee, and put on my makeup. It's a nice leisurely way to start the day. I do know that many people have it on a table or desk and get up to eat or read the newspaper in front of it, or have it on for longer if they work at home. As a mental health professional, I know that the benefits are real if the box is used in the proper way (in the morning, regularly). It can also help people with sleep issues, as it seems to help "set the clock" biologically. You could also plug it into a timer so that it turns on before your alarm clock, to signal that it's daylight and time to get up. Along with exercise, I think the light box is one of the easiest, least expensive ways to help ourselves feel better if we're prone to physical fatigue or mental "blahs."

I didn't find it too bad on the decibal level - it was not as loud as an alarm on an alarm clock. I found the vibrating feature more effective at waking my daughter up than the alarm. I know some people complained it was not loud enough, but I really thought it was sufficient for its purpose.

Download D-Saplli from App Store, it works as an clock ( 7 style )with some customization: sound EQ,alarm,music player timer, sleep timer, volume, fast forward,brightness,etc. It's a simple application,easy to use and good looking, just give a try, nothing to lose

Yes, there would be an issue. It doesn't turn itself back on, so your alarm would only play from your device's internal speaker. Also, every time you turn the thing on, it resets the volume. Very frustrating.

You can turn it on and off whenever you want like a lamp and you can keep it either bright or dim. And when you set your alarm is starts getting brighter and brighter slowly until your alarm goes off to help you wake up. I like it a lot. I use it as my light/radio/and alarm clock all in one.

They're pretty much bubble-type buttons under plastic sheeting so they make little or no noise when pressed. This should be a nice alarm clock for your purposes. We've had ours about 3 months now and have been quite happy with it.

Unfortunately not. And this is a problem because its light is quite strong and can disturb you in the sleep. Particularly when you don't set the alarm.

You don't want it loud or you won't sleep.I bought A Sony nature sounds clock radio and it was too loud at full or half volume.Quarter was good.
