I love this clock for several reasons. You cannot make a mistake with the AM/PM setting. The face is backlit with a warm glow without emitting so much light that you cannot fall asleep. It also reminds me of my childhood - my parents had a Big Ben alarm clock on their night table.
I had really liked the looks of this clock but was after reading other reviews, I was concerned it would be too loud. It is completely silent. I love how it looks & enjoy how easy it is to tell the time during the night. The "bluegrass" color is lovely.
I love this clock until after i had it for 2 weeks and alarm didnt go off. You can hear a click noise when its suppossed to go off but no bells. I was late for work! Thought about swapping it for another but just couldnt risk it. Wish this would have worked! Sending it back.
