Start Everyday with Simplicity
We developed the world’s easiest to use alarm clock and packed it with innovative & useful features. Plug it in, select your time zone and it automatically sets the time. It even adjusts itself for Daylight Savings Time. Set it once and don’t worry about it again.
Charge Your USB Devices as You Sleep
Our smartphones and tablets get a lot of facetime throughout the day leaving brave risk-takers with perilously low levels of power. Rather than moving your furniture frantically, hoping that final 1% lasts while diving for a concealed power outlet; simply plug your phone into your easily accessible bedside clock USB charging port.
Automatically Adjusting Day & Night Display Brightness
This clock radio intuitively adjusts the display’s brightness based on your room’s lighting. Never be blinded at night by overly bright alarm clocks again or squint in the middle of the day to read a dim display. Easily read the time day or night.
Dual Alarm for Separate Wake Times
This smart clock lets you set individual alarm schedules for the week, weekdays, and weekends for you and your partner.
Rest Assured Your Alarm Will Still Sound During a Power Outage

Customer Reviews
-
My radio arrived with one of the buttons defective. Not a big problem, but I asked for a refund instead of a replacement because I didn't like the way the unit slid around on my nightstand. This made any adjustment a two-handed operation. They need to make the "feet" on the bottom of a "stickier" material or add some more weight to the unit. BTW, excellent customer service in handling the return.
-
Easy to setup. Easy to purchase. Reasonable price. Nice large display. I have no need for the USB charging so I cannot comment on that function.
-
Well so far so good! But I must admit I bought the clock radio mainly for the display so I could see what time it was in the middle of the night. I haven't even tried the clock radio but I'm sure it works. Unfortunately I didn't realize that some of the radios offer the temperature as well so in that respect I regret I didn't do an upgrade.
-
From the advertising pictures I was expecting a larger clock radio. Although the sound could be a little louder and better it still works well.
-
So far so good. I haven't really used the clock radio but the clock maintains proper time but I'm rather disappointed in me display the blue LED background it's not as dark as portrayed in the picture and the numbers themselves are washed out you can barely see them. If I had to do it again I wouldn't buy this product since pictures aren't necessarily what you get in real life

YMMV
Upon receipt I rated it a 5 of 5. After two weeks, a few thoughts:
Radio needs treble/base control. Loudness ok.
Instead of lighted numerals, it has lighted background that automatically adjust to the light in the room. Auto setting in dark room slightly lights up room. Prefer to see clock digits instead of room.
I'm elderly and my fingertips are not as sensitive as they once were. The controls (for me) are hard to detect (feel) in the dark.
Snooze/Dimmer bar always operates the dimmer settings. That bar should be smaller leaving more room between the other 5 buttons on the top of the device. Guess I should read manual again to learn how to snooze w/o changing dimmer settings (possibly my bad).
Overall, would get something else ;) -
Just received. Early review!
Mine came pre-setup with battery active.
Went through setup procedure, just to be certain all worked. It did !
I am autistic & chronic complainer ! I have searched & searched and have found nothing to complain about.
The shipping was fast. The packaging was superb. The item was just as described on the Magnasonic web site. I got a good price at less than $15 (Guessing with discount and battery active; that it has been used - tested pre-sale to me).
I found all the details I needed pre-sale via the Manual pdf file on this web site.
This replaces a 20 year old alarm clock with fading sound, along with a very old, beat up many band (TV no longer functional) radio that has troubles with my favorite FM station Friday until Monday at during nighttime. Guessing they cut back power at station during those hours. Think it requires 6 type C batteries when power is off. That power outage radio function I will miss. Otherwise this Magnasonic replaces the functions of that pair that I used most and provides some new functions..
Time will tell; but, out of the box, I am very pleased with price, quality and functionality. -
This is a great little alarm clock radio. Sounds pretty good too. Display is too bright , but being able to turn it off means I won't be returning it. The numbers get pretty hard to see but the big blue background can light up a room really well. Hence the 4 out of 5 stars.
I do love that it comes on low but ONLY climbs to the volume level you have it set at. My last alarm would come on low and blow the roof off the house if you didn't turn it off, regardless of the "set" volume.
All in all a great deal for the price.
