My previous clocked died and searched for a suitable replacement. My previous had a CD player and stereo speakers. I didn't use or need the CD player. The features that are important are AM/FM and multi-alarm features. This clock had those features. The radio reception is good even on AM. The sound is a little disappointed. It's a single small speaker so much different than the stereo sound I had been accustomed. The size and display are nice. Doesn't take up much real estate and the display offers different brightness. Weekend and weekday alarms are possible along with different options to wake up to. The snooze button is in a good location and large enough to hit without having to search or look at it. Alarms allow for adjustment of the loudness of tones and radio as well as the lengths of snoozes. This alarm clock serves its purpose I prefer an alarm clock over using smartphone or other options and radio reception is an important feature and this was an acceptable option after searching various brands and models. It does not have any smart phone (or more specifically iPhone) dock options although you can connect a phone to the clock through a cable. The speaker on the phone is much better than in this clock. I would prefer a better speaker and sound and the price was a little high for what I expected but many lower prices models doesn't offer an AM radio option only FM. More expensive come more with iPhone docking options than Android so models that cater to iPhones do not appeal to me. Depending on the features that are important to you this little clock is acceptable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great price for the size
What's not so great: Rare occasions it become unrecognized by system but then appears again quickly
Great little device for size and portability. Comes in multiple colors. Colors besides Black and Titanium must be ordered online. They aren't available in the stores and can be priced slightly higher than Black and Titanium. Once in a while this device, even during file copy, drops off the system but then reappears just as quickly. I have yet to lose data. I simply have to copy the file(s) again. It's annoying and it doesn't do it frequently but it does occur. I haven't looked to see if there is a fix for this so there could be a solution. It's USB 3.0 so the response time is quick when attached to a USB 3.0 port.
This product has... Fast, Attractive design/portable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size
About me... Budget Conscious, Technology guru, Work with large multimedia files, Need a simple backup solution
I would recommend this to a friend!

how to get better AM reception

just bought this and like all it's features except I like to listen to AM radio in the evening and for
morning news etc--it is very staticy--the antenna doesn't seem to help nor does moving it
around. Any suggestions!!
I don't know if I can do better with another brand or model--they just don't make them
like they used too
Like you, AM reception is important to me. It does have some static but not as finicky as my previous clock which sometimes getting AM reception was impossible. I had to add a wire to the antenna and drape it over the window blind or something higher to get better reception. You could probably try that with this clock.

I DO agree they don't make them like they used to. As stated in my review hard to find a nice stereo model that doesn't take a lot of table top space along with having good sound and AM radio. Many models do not offer AM anymore so I did think I had to settle somewhat with this model.

I attached a wire that has an RCA plug on one end. Probably any flexible wire would serve the purpose. It just needs to connect to extend your attached antenna. Hope this helps! Good luck with your reception!
