before I bought this clock, I had the "Grundig Sonoclock 660 FM RDS clock radio black / silver". He went not (see my review 1 star). By contrast, this alarm clock is really handy: A wide, well tactile snooze button, other buttons are curved differently and one can feel good even in the dark, which key is pressed. A back-up battery for power outage there is and that lasts. After several weeks of vacation (always prefer all unplugged) is not empty. The only real drawback: no radio clock and not run very well. About one minute a month they should be fast.
