Have this clock radio as a kitchen radio in use. For us, a remote control, DAB and CD players was important. The reception on FM and DAB is very good. The service is not very complicated, so it was no longer a problem after a short. What we also liked the option via the integrated USB port is to charge a cell phone or a tablet for example. The radio is quite small, which unfortunately sound bass poor in the form of something and makes thin sound noticeable. The sound is total but not really bad and perfectly adequate for the intended use as an alarm clock or with us as a kitchen radio.
