easy to use cons: not all sounds are great the bottom line: yes i would recommend to all new parents especially!
from www.amazon.com
this product has more features than i was looking for, but i really like them all and have found it to be an easy to use, helpful tool.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i don't like is the waterfall sound, it just doesn't sound like one, it's more like static, otherwise it's a great product.
from www.amazon.com
the radio doesn't have very good reception, but i don't really care because i didn't want a radio in the fist place, though it is very good if you desire to use it as a alarm to wake you up.
from www.amazon.com
the only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the radio reception isn't too good.

easy to use 3.
from www.amazon.com
we had a model one, liked it, but my wife wanted a clock radio, hence the model one was sentenced to the bathroom and replaced by the tivoli model three.

it receives many more stations and with much more clarity than the boombox, which has digital tuning.

i'm glad i bought it but it has an annoyance: if i leave the room, the reception seems to drift a bit on am or fm.
from www.amazon.com
as a sleeper very sensitive to light i regret to report that (a) the clock's backlight is too damn bright and (b) there is no way to dim or shut off this backlight.

i have been very happy with it and recommend it for normal bedside clock/ music needs.
from www.target.com
i would suggest using this clock only in a spare bedroom, office, or kid's room who wants a night-light because you can turn up the display even brighter.
from www.target.com
i kept on switching the am/fm knob and never received an fm signal.
from www.target.com
i didn't have problems with the clock, the brightness, or the radio (the station numbers are displayed so you can find the correct station).

the backlight can be dimmed to your taste.
from www.circuitcity.com
another great feature is the dimming capability, which allows you to select from three brightness levels...very nice, since most alarm clocks are surprisingly bright when you are trying to sleep.

i use it as my bedroom alarm clock and as my shower radio (by turning up the volume -- not by taking it in the shower!).
from www.target.com
after a while, everytime i tried to tune to a different (fm) station the static was horrible!

took a day for the radio signal to get picked up for the weather forecast.
