HOUSBAY Digital Alarm Clock Radi... vs DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm C...

The radio works well, once you find a decent signal, with the antenna. It comes with a back-up battery which keeps the alarm active( you wont over sleep in an outage). It also has a power adapter and a card with quick instructions.

The radio is way smaller than the picture makes it seem. The reception is not too good after you scan and select your stations.

Clock is wonderfully easy to read and the dimmer is great. The only thing i have an issue with on this clock is the brightness control.

Could not be easier to operate. Easy to set. No regrets. Size is perfect and super easy to use.

Useless piece of *. That is so annoying.

Usb power cord pops out of the clock extremely easily which causes it to reset. Setting it is a totally counter intuitive pain.

My only dislike is that it isn't reliable. Even short outages of a couple of minutes and the unit does not retain the clock time.
