The clock works good, but the thermometer only goes to 99f then displays hhh. That spec isn't listed in the information provided.

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.
