does what is says once you figure out the directions
This alarm clock does a great job at giving you a nice gradual morning light. The sounds are pleasant, and being able to adjust the volume and light settings is nice. However, the clock is very difficult to set and does not allow for the light to stay on when the snooze "button" is used. The light also does not come back on when the snooze time is up, so if you haven't set an sounds for your wake-up, using snooze is really like turning the alarm off. As other reviewers stated, I would suggest a couple trial runs with this clock before you depend on it to get you up on time. Once you figure out the settings that work best for you, the clock seems to be a huge value.
