Works well if you're in range of time clock signal.

I've had this product about 2 years now I think. For the most part I (we) like it. The problems we've found with all projector clocks is where and how you can project. Since we have a nice headboard and the sidestands are also storage cabinets... You have a choice to either project the time out to the wall or ceiling and have the clock face face the wall or have the clock face out towards you and the projector not be able to be seen anywhere in the room.
Some of the more recent problems we've had is that it has lost contact with the time service signal. When it does that it seems to advance about 45 minutes fairly quickly. There have been a couple times where I've gotten woke up earlier than need be and didin't realize it till I was already out of bed and fully awake. Not sure why it gains the amount of time it does when it happens...
As for the nature sounds (white noise generator), most of them actually sound pretty good. I have my favorite 1 or 2 out of the 6 it comes with.
The other issue we've dealt with is the volume level on the lowest setting is still very loud. We toned it down some by putting some tape over the speaker area.
Radio reception seems pretty good, we get the local stations we want without too much trouble. It is not electronic tuning, so you do have to dial it in. If you have pets, check it before bed to be sure it's still on station if you want to wake up to the radio.
As for the alarm settings, it has two seperate alarms, though you can't chose radio for one and alarm for the other. You get one choice... Radio, Alarm, or white noise, for both.
It does have a remote temperature sensor that seems to work very well to bring you the current temperature of where ever you've placed the remote. It also display the current temp of the room the radio is in as well.
