Query: Not what I expected.

I looked high and low for a CD/Alarm/Clock Radio with good sound, nice aesthetics, and a small footprint. I thought I found it in this one... I was wrong as usual. The choices for me were slim, $500 for the Bose wave, or $79 for this. You still get what you pay for. The FM reception is fair, the sound is substandard, and the cd mechanism whistles when spinning. The unit is also too light, where pushing firmly against any of the front mounted buttons slides the radio back. The display is way too bright, not adjustable, and hard to read on an angle. I attempted to block some of the brightness with some window tint. It worked well blocking both the shinning light and the ability to see the already dim display. Needless to say it sat on my nightstand, looking towards the wall for a couple of days, then was on Ebay. End of story.
