I'll tell you why this is the best alarm clock for the $
My quest for the perfect alarm clock continues but this one has big wins.For starters this is the most beautiful red LED display, crystal clear numbers, large 1" size numbers are easy to read with "weak" eyes at 2am but OMG the dim control is SUPERB. Best control I have seen, from completely off to ever-so-dim, you WILL find the perfect night-time setting for you. And if you like BRIGHT, you can see the time from across the house in the daylight if that's your preference. SUPERB LED display and brightness control. IMO, the top items that make or break a good bed-side alarm.Sized very well for nightstand; not too big or too small.Alarm volume setting is almost just as good as display but would be best if it went to zero dB. Some people sleep lightly with no white noise so going lower in volume could be best.CONSHere's a double-bad. The "feet pads" are inadequate due to the lightweight design of the clock - slides around on night stand. But when I went to install some thicker, "stickier" pads I noticed that the means by which snooze works are 2 switch buttons ON THE BOTTOM of the clock. So you push down on the top of the clock to activate snooze switches on the bottom. This is a poor design. Adding better anti-slips pads to the bottom would override the snooze. And the 2 snooze switches are right where the pads would go. A re-design could really improve this.Setting the clock and alarm is not really "hard" per-se but a clunky process in the way you multi-click to see/change hour and minute. It also flashes between hour and minute. This is distracting and actually blurs the numbers. Why do that guys? That's just silly. Take a time-honored design pointer from $5 alarm clocks of the past and simplify things -push "alarm" to see the alarm set time. Release to go back to time. Push and hold "alarm" to see alarm time and while holding push hour or minute to set. Done. Easy. No goofy flashing and flickering.The alarm ON/OFF button should be the FIRST BUTTON in the row, closest to the edge of the clock (and if you really want to get it right) have it stick out further than the others. We "feel" for that button in the dark when we're sleepy. Make is easy on us!Look, I see why you put the buttons on the back. It makes for a "cleaner" looking design. But buttons on top would be much more practical. A row behind a snooze bar...again, time honored design. And again, snooze buttons working on top gives room on bottom for support.The 5V DC is growing on me. You certainly kept the cost and weight down by ditching the 110 AC power supply with an AC cord. I think I can get use to it.Consider a dual-alarm model.To end on a positive note, OMG THAT DISPLAY!! Seriously, best-display-and brightness control-EVER. And the clock speed when it changes each minute is lightning-fast. In all, if the clock time holds true over the course of days and weeks (and I've seen a few reviews complaining about this) this alarm clock will be the best and well-worth the money that I have purchased.

Great clock that's easy to use and control
Everything is easy with this clock: easy to see, control the brightness, alarm volume, and to know that it's going to be set for the next day. One push on the alarm button cancels today's alarm but leaves it set for the next day so you don't need to remember to set it when you go to bed. The indicator flashes when you use the snooze feature. I was initially worried that the alarm button was in the back with 3 other buttons, but rapidly learned that it was the second button in from the left and now turn it off easily by feel. It keeps time when the power goes out, although the display doesn't stay lit. And the USB charging port is very convenient. Great example of design and engineering at a very affordable price.

Has been a solid product-- Third purchase was different
Update #2: the first two clocks have been working great so we decided to get another for another person in this house. So far it is keeping time great which is the most important thing. I set it to my cell phone and it has kept perfect time ever since. This one, surprisingly is different than the pictures though. There is a dial on the back for the brightness adjustment and the alarm adjustment, instead of the slider shown in the photos. So this one is slightly different than our previous 2 purchases. I would have preferred the slider. It would be easier to use the slider in the dark on the alarm and not turn it to the loudest volume by accident. I took off one star from my original review because of this difference, and that it is different from the ad photos and our first two purchases.Update #1: my child needs a new alarm clock and so I just purchased another one of these. It keeps perfect time and is fully adjustable for brightness or dimness. I have been super pleased with my purchase. I plan to purchase a third and fourth if the next one is as good as the first. Then everyone in the house will have one.Original Review: I have had this for a few weeks now, waiting to write a review until I saw how it performed. It is keeping accurate time, I have been checking it daily with my phone. I needed a small alarm clock that kept time well and was able to be quite dim. I personally would like the numbers a bit smaller, but otherwise, it met all my reqiurements. I am pleased with my purchase.

Finally can control brightness and volume
For a very reasonable price this clock easily allows you to finely control how bright or dim the numbers are and the volume for the beeping alarm is just as easy to control. A bonus - you donโt have to re-set the alarm after it goes off from one day to the next (unless you change the alarm time). It is very easy to use as well.

Fantastic clock
I really wanted a small clock that was easy to use and had a completely dimmable switch. You don't have different settings for brightness like many other clocks. This one has a wheel that you can turn to either completely dim or make as bright as you want. This is super easy to either set the time or dim the clock. Would highly recommend it.

Has the capacity to be really dim - has high EMF
My key criteria for a clock was no blue light (this has red light) and the capacity to be really dim. In both these respects it passes with flying colors.I also bought the battery operated KWANWA Alarm Clock, Led Digital Clock which people claimed was dim. It is not compared to the Reacher.And to answer a question that no one ever asked this alarm clock has a fairy high EMF, especially compared to the KWANANA

One clock didn't work, a nightmare to get faulty item returned with Amazon.
