Great looks
I purchased this as a gift for someone and let me tell you, this alarm clock is perfect for those who lean towards a more classic look for their room. Since this has a certain style, your best bet is to purchase this alarm clock only if it matches or looks similar to one’s room, or else it sticks out like a sore thumb. Not that there is anything wrong with it, since it looks really good, but that’s one thing to watch out for. Other than that, this clock functions as a regular alarm clock, and a radio. There are setup videos you can find to help you connect your phone via Bluetooth, set an alarm etc. other than that, this was a worth buy. It would be amazing if they were available in a wider range of colors but, there’s only so much you can ask for.

A great radio
I like everything about this radio. I noted the problems that others had but I’m really pleased I bought it anyway. If you’re looking for a really cute little radio that sounds pretty good and does everything it promises you will very likely be pleased. The only problem I’ve had is I’m getting older and the operation with push buttons instead of knobs takes a little getting used to. All the functions work properly the sound is not like a Bose , it’s a cute little radio. The bright digital readout is very easy to read, if you’re especially sensitive about lights in the bedroom it could be a problem but I find it to be no more than a small night light. The blue tooth works especially well. I like it so well I might order another color.

GREAT PRODUCT BUT INSTRUCTIONS DIFFICULT
Only four and not five stars just because the instructions are a bit difficult in that they leave out certain key steps, i.e., if followed exactly, the unit will not function properly. But, with a little trial and error, and improvisation based upon using electronics generally, the unit can be properly set and programmed and then it works very well. Once understood, it is easy to use and has very good sound. For anyone who has just a bit of patience and familiarity with electronics manufactured in Asia (where the instructions are also drafted and then translated into English), this is a fine product at a very good price, and it's good-looking, too.

Don't be fooled by its cute appearance! It's a piece of junk.
This retro-looking clock radio with the "Studebaker" logo at the top looked adorable in my kitchen, its compact size and teal green color fitting in perfectly. Although programming the settings using the instruction booklet was complicated, I managed to do it and it worked fine - for about a week. Then the radio stopped making any sound, and the alarm which had set itself to midnight started beeping in the middle of the night - I could neither set it differently nor disable the alarm function. I phoned the company and asked if any other customers had had problems with this item and they said no, it was new to their collection and they'd had no complaints. So I figured this one was just a lemon. I returned it to Amazon and received a replacement within a couple of days. This one, however, didn't work AT ALL! I wasted an hour trying to get any of the settings to work, scrutinizing the instruction manual for the umpteenth time. No luck. I sent it right back, this time for a refund and not a replacement. I give it one star because it looks so cute. But as we all know, looks can deceive.

Practical, cute alarm clock
Have used this for about a year so far and has been a reliable alarm clock- the radio controls are a bit annoying and I wish like a lot of things with radio it has a hard antenna so I could more easily aim it. But for the actual uses it has 2 different alarm placements and physical buttons to hit. The other settings are way too bright but I adjusted to the lowest setting. I also love the mint color- it was difficult to find a non-hideous alarm clock so glad this one worked out!

Cool and classic little alarm clock
I absolutely love this cool, little classic alarm clock. It's the perfect size for my bed stand. The buttons are big enough to find in the night and the instructions will be easy once I get used to them. I bought this specifically because it has AM and FM radio. Most of the alarm clocks only have FM, but I wanted an AM station (the Patriot). It also has a flexible antenna, so every station I've tried comes in crystal clear. An extra bonus is the USB port for my sound machine. This is so much better than the typical, ugly black clock that everyone seems to sell. This would be a classy clock in whatever room you put it!

Horrible FM reception
Attractive to look at. I had no issue figuring out how to program/use the device as some reviewers seem to have struggled with. The interface is not completely intuitive, but the enclosed instructions are clear.I like the display, I like the volume. I only planned to use this as an FM clock radio and the FM reception is just horrible.The antenna is a string which you have to stretch out and wiggle around and apparently pin up somewhere. Radio antennae that stand up by themselves were invented a long time ago, the reason is because radio signals travel through the air, not up from the floor. I would have paid a few extra bucks for a real antenna instead of this loose wire.Luckily, the metal lamp on my nightstand is conducting a signal extremely well. The stations I want come in perfectly clear when I wrap the antenna around it. If I don't, it is nothing but static.It is a cool radio, please make a version with a real telescoping antenna. Who can resist a product branded under the name of Studebaker in this century? I'm only human.I'll keep it.
