The lack of a battery backup is a serious oversight.

The lack of a battery backup is a serious design flaw -- the capacitive backup is helpful only during very short power "hiccups", and longer power outages will necessitate setting up the radio from scratch

Like the Sangean radio I had this item appeared to be cheaply made and its lack of function merely confirmed my suspicions.

Only complaint is lack of battery back-up.

My only complaint is the lack of battery backup.

Another serious oversight is the lack of Humane Waking

Other clock radios (Timex I think) have a cool 'sleep timer' feature that this one lacks

Controls not as intuitive as I would like.

The radio works as it should and we have figured out most of the features

If you hit the snooze button, the light fades back down, then gradually brightens as it comes on again
