The brightness is adjustable. Having an adjustable dimmer is a big plus. The numbers are as big as those on much larger radios.

This one fits the bill. This one does the trick. It's a little cheaply made but worth the cost.

The radio volume can be adjusted to very loud. I'm deaf and this is a necessity in any alarm clock i use. The alarm is great.

Radio has surprisingly good sound quality. Decent sound for radio. You can have different alarm patterns for the weekend and weekdays.

The alarm settings are straightforward. The snooze button and off button are easy to find. I like not having to turn the alarm on every day, the setting for m-f is just what i wanted.

The battery backup operates the alarm even during a power failure. One less plug in needed. Plugged it in last night, easy to set time (no reverse) but had to get up to unplug it.

The numbers are bright for nighttime if you sleep in the room with it. Usb on the front helps the cord not fall behind bedside table as much. Would be better with dimmer but not rally a problem.

Third night after resetting no alarm again. The batteries only lasted 4 days.

Display is clear, easy to set, but absolutely terrible as a functioning alarm. Low volume setting is so loud that it startles me awake with such an unpleasant jolt every time. Sharp is a good company,for electronics that don't wake you up.
