Decent item if you get a bargain; otherwise not worth it,

I recently bought this unit in red (it's also available in purple, blue, white, and black) at Target. It was on clearance for $39, more than 50% off the original price. At the sale price, it is well worth it. I have not experienced any technical malfunctions (such as the clock resetting for no reason). I suspect those were unusual cases experienced by a few buyers. Maybe Memorex quality control isn't so good. Nonetheless, my unit has worked as advertised.
The positives about this unit are:
*Excellent value if you get it on sale
*The sound is decent (not excellent by any means, but good enough if your main purpose is to use it as a clock radio)
*Looks nice and the size isn't too large or too small
*Easy to set time and alarms
*Has two alarms and takes two AAA batteries for emergency backup

Piece of junk! Do not waste your money!,

We purchased this for our daughter last Christmas. It was difficult to get to work at all, and after 3 months completely stopped working. We still had the box, etc but no receipt. I can't believe something in this price range is such a piece of junk! Spend $20 more and get something reliable. I wish I could give it zero stars.

do not buy! overpriced and malfunctions,

i got this overpriced alarm clock because it is modern looking and white so it fits into my house design very well, it was fine for a few months.
however, NOW every other day it totally resets itself. just like BAM the alarm is gone the time restarts. the battery backup has been replaced so thats not the issue.
its simply faulty.
and if your normal like me you dont keep reciepts so there is no way to go through the BS forms you have to fill out to pay the shipping for memorex to get a warranty replacement.
now ill have to go around knowing i wasted alot of money on a POS alarm clock and at the same time remember to never buy memorex products again.
