Back home I tried different combinations of AC power and batteries; the AC operation was rock solid but the clock gained time at a ratio of approximately 45 minutes for every 24 hours run on backup batteries. Personally, I'd rather have clock that blinks "12:00" after a power outage than one that deceptively displays the wrong time. If you buy the RCA RP5405 AM/FM Clock Radio, test how well it keeps time on battery backup before the return period runs out. I gave this two stars because it is a decent clock radio when using 120VAC. from Amazon.com I asked for this clock for christmas because I wanted a clock with an adjustable snooze time. This isn't it. Amazon's product description is wrong - once I got the clock and set it up, I couldn't find anything in the manual about the adjustable snooze, so I checked on RCA's website and this clock does not have that feature. I returned the clock and told amazon about the product description being wrong back in January, but lo and behold, here it is almost April and they haven't fixed it yet. from Amazon.com I asked for this clock for christmas because I wanted a clock with an adjustable snooze time. This isn't it. from Amazon.com I bought this as a last minute travel item for a destination where the power is notoriously unreliable. I also bought a brand name (think: drum-playing bunny) 9V alkaline battery. After the first power outage, I thought the clock was running fast coming back to AC. By the second power outage, I was sure of it. from Amazon.com It has 9-volt battery backup. I don't believe the snooze length is adjustable; that's not a feature I use. The radio is very Mickey Mouse--it has a tiny round dial to turn to tune in stations, similar to the tiny dials on transistor radios we had in the "old days." But I was able to tune a local station in. Obviously this is not a unit you would be buying for high fidelity sound. from Amazon.com I will keep an eye out for a different one with an adjustable snooze button. The alarm is loud and it does get you up. The radio works well. from Amazon.com If all you want is to tell time and wake to an alarm this is OK, but still pricey for that. That radio dial can not bring in any significant stations. No matter how much you minutely move it back and forth few will come in. from Amazon.com This clock radio does exactly what it promises - no more, no less. The display can be a little hard to read in a well-lit room, but since this is serving as my alarm clock, I usually look at it in a dark room, so no problem. from Amazon.com This is a good value for an alarm/clock radio. Programming is simple and straightforward. from Amazon.com
