Great sound. Good, clear digital display. Mine will also play CD's. You can set it up to wake you with an alarm, radio, CD, whatever. And if you choose music, it doesn't just start out at a high volume, but slowly rises so as not to shock you awake.
It was $500 back in the 90's. I don't know if the price has gone up or down since then, but I think it's been worth it for how long it's lasted.
I actually have one, it is too big for my needs.
So far :)
