The design is very sleek, elegant and zen. The buttons are touch-sensitive and it is really nice, barely touched, the alarm lights. It is also very easy to use. The alarm clock is actually very soft, light (you can adjust the intensity) and the sounds of birds are very friendly in the morning. But it is not very reassuring when you absolutely must wake up, we are not sure to hear it. For those light sleepers, or worried, you can wake up to the radio rather than small sounds. I put the beautiful sounds on weekends and pretty strong radio the week, to be sure. Besides, I also put myself sounds to sleep at night;) We can also adjust the brightness of the clock, which really appreciable night.
One negative, it is a bit too light, must be the otherwise it moves and slides on the table. And when one is still asleep, it was a good chance of dropping it.
