It's OK, in general as a clock, but there are issues.
I bought this so that I could see the time during the night; but the way that the clock it is set up, the reading faces backwards on the ceiling, so when you look at it it reads right to left because it faces the other direction. In other words, as you look at the face of the clock 1:03 is 30:1 (but upside down) To see it from left to right, have to turn the clock backwards, OR you can put it on another wall and then the direction would be OK. I am disabled and I cannot turn my head in a way to see it on a far wall. I assumed it would be like other ceiling clocks that I have had or see and it would show on the ceiling (it doesn't do this correctly). So if you don't mind it showing on a far wall then this would work for you (or so I assume).Another issue is that the two clocks are set individually so getting the times don't necessary agree and may be a minute off.Because I have to turn it around at night to see the time in the correct order (I'm dyslexic so to read it, I have to turn it because it is difficult to unscramble, it is hard enough when in the correct order.); anyway because I have to turn it, I do not use the alarm because I have to fuse with it to turn it back around to turn off the alarm. So I cannot tell you how the alarm works.If I had known what I know now, I would not have bought it.I hope this helps someone with similar issues to decide if this is the right clock for them.

Overall a well-thought-out design for a projection clock
After spending the night at the home of a friend who had a projection alarm clock, I decided I had to get one myself. I tried 5 different clocks before settling on this one. This clock is compact with a small footprint (about 4.25" x 2.5"), so it should fit easily on even small nightstands. The clock display on the front of the clock is red and emits enough light to easily read the time, but isn't overly bright like some other clocks I tried. Setting the time and alarm on this clock is very intuitive; you won't need the manual.The projected display clock is independent from the clock on the front of the unit and they must be set separately. The projected display hits the sweet spot in terms of luminosity; it emits enough light for you to easily read the clock on your ceiling at night, but not so much as to create a lot of ambient light in your bedroom. I measured the display from several distances and determined that the projected digits are about 5/8" or 1.5 cm tall per foot of projected distance (for example, if there's 8 feet of distance between the clock and the point on the ceiling where the projected image is focused, then the digits will be roughly 5" or 12 cm tall). In my opinion, this is just the right size; if it were much smaller then near-sighted individuals might have difficulty reading it without eye-glasses (and not many people wear eye-glasses to bed), and if it were much bigger it would produce more ambient light. A switch on the right side of the clock allows you to disable the projection feature.The clock also appears to be of decent quality; the plastic housing seems durable but doesn't feel cheap, the buttons on the front have a good tactile feel, the mechanism for rotating the projector feels solid. The projection unit has two swivel points. When the alarm invokes, it will sound for one hour before shutting off; the snooze interval is 5 minutes. The snooze button is small, but it is slightly raised above the clock's housing, so it is easy to locate; I had no problems with it. The volume control on the side of the clock controls the radio volume, but not the buzzer. The buzzer has a set volume, which I would say also hits a sweet spot; it's loud enough to wake you, but not so loud that it jars you awake or bother someone in an adjacent bedroom. You can also choose to awake to the radio instead of the buzzer.The photo on the retail box shows the clock display with red digits on a black background. Usually, however, the digits and the background both appear red, with the digits being a brighter red. Whether the background appears red or black depends on what angle from which you are viewing the clock and also the amount of ambient light in the room (check out the photos that I posted). This is NOT an atomic clock and will NOT auto-set the time; you must manually set the time. You can install a battery to maintain the time during power outages; it uses a coin-shaped 3V CR2032 battery. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this clock.Prior to buying this clock, I also tried four other projection clocks, and the Memorex MC0931BK was the best one. Some of the other clocks I tried were the Magnasonic MM178 (display on the clock's front was so bright it was like having a bright night-light in the room), the Craig CR45365 (alarm only buzzes for 60 seconds so you might sleep through it, and the projected digits were ridiculously large) and the Hip Street HS-CRP329 (poor build quality and the one I got had a defect in the projection unit).

Function 5, Ergonomics 3
Functionally, I love it. Ergonomically, it leaves a bit to be desired. In a word, it's not stable on its small base. Fine just sitting there being a radio alarm and projector, but you cannot press a button without moving it around (disturbing your projector target area). It is also annoying when tuning and switching bands (AM/FM). The tuning selector is so sensitive that it's hard to select a specific frequency. THEN , if you, say, select an AM station, later switch to FM, select a station, and return to AM, your previously selected AM frequency is no longer set as you left it.All in all, 4 stars from me. Sound quality is fine for this kind of radio, alarm is easy to set and use, and the projector function is VERY handy in the middle of the night (although worthless in daylight, but who needs it then).6/6/2016: An update after 1 year & 4 months. JUNQUE!. I soon discovered that the separate times (and settings) of the radio and the projector are not only different, but the projector clock consistently runs fast. When it becomes 3 - 5 minutes ahead of radio clock time, I reset it to about 3 minutes behind so it will take longer for it to creep back to 3 - 5 ahead. The analog tuner is a bigger pain in the rump than even I at first thought. It's such a gross adjustment that it's nearly impossible to get it on the exact correct frequency, and the few times I did manage that, it drifted off on it's own. Overall reception ... both AM and FM, is quite weak.Yesterday, the final clinker struck. The radio LED readout went dead, it no longer displays wither the time or radio frequency.Today, I ordered a different projection clock radio from Amazon. In 2 days, when it arrives, I'll be taking this first one out in the yard and see how it acts when hit by a .308 Remington.If you till have your heart set on buying one of these losers, it's not available on this page, but search in the Amazon search bar for "Memorex Projection Alarm Clock Radio, Model: MC0931, Electronic Store & More ". There's one available for $100.00. (I bought mine for $24.99 and still believe I was ripped off.)

Small Clock radio...big features
My night stand is small, and I don't want the entire surface consumed by my clock radio. This little gem has been perfect. "Big boy" features packed into a "little guy".Even my husband (who thought a projecting alarm was silly) has come to appreciate viewing the time, in the dark, without his glasses!
