That maximum volume "should" be adjustable, but sadly it is not.

My only complaint is that for a split fraction of a second the clock makes a loud noise before starting quiet and slowly rising volume on the alarm.

Then, the "maximum" volume is not adjustable for the alarm, so when it reaches max alarm volume it is very irritating.

In a matter of seconds, the volume is so loud that the entire house is awake and the speaker is crackling.

Everything else works well, the volume has a nice gradual increase function.

- this one is a MAJOR negative - when the alarm goes off (I ALWAYS have it to radio), I have it set to a nice volume for myself, however, when the alarm goes off the volume gets louder and louder.

I like the gradually increasing volume of the alarm, but I wake to music and the volume goes all the way up.

Big, easy-to-read display, dual alarm settings, progressive alarm volume, USB charging socket for cell phone, AUX input
