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.

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.

the only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the radio reception isn't too good.

the easiest way is to turn on a reference radio, then find the signal on the clock.

sound quality is superb, radio clarity is superb, projection is nice, form factor is cool...only if they have multiple alarms !!!
