I've needed a new clock radio for a year and I've given four of them a try. All different brands and price ranges. I finally bit the bullet and paid double what I wanted to pay for the iHome clock radio. Best money I've ever spent. The biggest plus for me was the fact that you can turn down the volume on the alarm to what you want. The last two clock radios that I bought came on so loud that I got out of bed because I was so annoyed. Not a good way to start the day. The fact that this one gradually increases in volume as it comes on is a nice feature. The clock can be dimmed down about five levels or you can turn the back light completely off while you sleep is fabulous. Very easy to set. Snooze button is easy to find. Being able to charge my iPhone on the unit itself is nice. If you're looking for a nice clock radio and you don't mind spending $60, this is the clock for you.
Here are my bad experiences:
1st clock radio was from Peakeep - The fact that it says you can dim the lock is a lie. Their idea of dim still lights up the entire room. I need to sleep in complete darkness so this wasn't going to work for me.
2nd clock radio was from Memorex - Alarm cannot be turned down so I was blasted out of bed. I like to wake up slowly. This alarm does not allow that to happen. No matter what I tried, you cannot turn the alarm down. You can turn the radio down when just listening to it during the day so why can't you turn down the alarm volume? Ridiculous.
3rd clock radio was from DreamSky - Again the Alarm cannot be turned down. Big problem. I also hit the Snooze button and the alarm never came back on. Thankfully my cat woke me up or I would've overslept and been late to work. On top of that it sounds like the radio is being played in a tin can. Very cheap product.

Nice little machine and after trying 4 different iphone 6s ...
"Docks with your case" - NOT with most cases as I found out! Nice little machine and after trying 4 different iphone 6s cases I finally found a case that with work docking with the phone in it - (Spigen Tough Armor) one of the few cases where the bottom of the case is thin and close enough for the lightning connection to reach it! When I called the toll free customer service number to ask questions about what cases work with this machine after being on hold for over half an hour I finally got connected with someone who's english was hard to understand and after very little help suggested I try ordering an after market "8 pin Lightning Dock Extender Adapter Connector". Luckily after trying and returning several cases I found the "Spigen case" that worked. Aside from that the machine is pretty nice and compact if you don"t have much space on your nightstand. I am adding a pic of the Spigen case I found which does dock well and is a real nice case and the lightning adapter if you have a case already that doesn't work for you. I did feel the phone support from their customer service wasn't too great!
