The unit worked well for approximately a year. First sign of trouble was when the back-up battery would drain even when the unit was continuously plugged in. Next, the clock began to run slow. I had to reset it every couple of weeks when I noticed I was starting to be late for work. Next, when I would try to fix the time or set the alarm, the numbers would go all over the place. Not in order, they would jump ahead or jump back even when spinning the wheel the same direction. Lastly the connection between the iPod and the system became corrupted. The speakers would be staticy and I would have to wedge a piece of paper or something between the iPod and the unit to get a connection that would hold. Eventually, I couldn't find any position that would get the iPod and the unit to connect anymore. When it was time to replace it, guess what? I didn't blow $100 on another unit. I bought a competitor for $20. So far, I like it better. Don't waste your money.
