The RP5430 clock radio by RCA is the perfect companion in the morning. The AM/FM clock radio has a large 1.4-inch blue LED display that makes it easy to see and to read. The clock can be adjusted to two different levels of brightness to accommodate for different lighting situations. Clock features automatic time set that will set the clock to the current Easter Standard Time once clock is plugged in. Simply flip the switch to select your current time zone. LCD display has a digital frequency readout, so that you can precisely tune to your favorite radio station and read which station you are tuned in to. Connect your mp3 player to the audio input jack and enjoy your music anytime of the day without having to wear headphones. The programmable sleep feature will play the radio up to 2-hours before automatically turning off, allowing you to gently fall asleep to the radio. Clock radio has two different alarm settings that are perfect for couples who wake at different times or for those who need a second reminder to wake in the morning and you can set the alarm to wake you up to the buzzer or to your favorite radio station. The nap function can be set as a quick alarm for a short interval of sleep without disturbing the alarm settings. You can set the nap function in 10-minute increments up to a total of 2-hours of naptime. Alarm clock features programmable snooze that you can set to ring between 1-30 minutes or by the default setting of every 9-minutes. Using the SmartSnooze feature, any of the top buttons will act as the snooze button when alarm has been activated, to ensure that you will find it when you¿re half asleep. The battery backup gives reassurance that your alarm will sound even with the loss of power.

RCA RP5430 AM/FM Clock Radio with 1.4-Inch Display and Auto Time Set Reviews
I like many features, like the alarm starting out quiet and slowly getting louder.
I don't like that sections of the digits have started to go out so I can't tell if it's 9 or 10 o'clock.
This alarm clock was bought because it looked like it came from a reputable brand. However, my experience with it says otherwise. I've had it fail to ring on me at least twice, which caused me to miss a very important event. This is unacceptable. I also spent the better part of half an hour trying to get the time to reset when I accidentally changed the time instead of the alarm (very easy to do when it's the same switch for all 3: alarm1,2,time). I found out the "auto-set" is some BS with them just presetting the time in the factory (the batteries come with the alarm), so if you mess up the time, don't expect to have it sync with an atomic clock or anything. And after finally setting the time and alarm, the alarm doesn't even go off! Even though I set the time and it told me the alarm was armed, it still didn't go off. What rubbish! And don't hit the nap button on accident either, you'll spend another good 5 minutes trying to figure out how to turn it off. I haven't tried the line-in feature, but with the crappy sound quality (what do you expect?), I wouldn't put my money in expecting this thing to wake me up ever again. Invest in a better alarm clock!
Ive bought 2 of these clocks. The first one broke promptly after I bought it, i figured it was just a fluke. I've had the second one for about a year and the numbers have almost all burnt out. Dont waste your money.
I bought two of these clocks. I only wanted to buy one, but I had a horrible experience with the seller Polsteins Home & Beyond. Terrible seller in my opinion. Anyway, I got the clock and was impressed with the features at first. I liked how you could plug it in and it would automatically set the correct time. The only problem is, it couldn't hold accurate time, and I had no way to change or correct it!! Also I would go to shut off the alarm and accidentally hit the "NAP" button. The problem with that is there is no way to shut that off either! I had to wait till the alarm went off again to stop it. Also the alarm was unreliable, sometimes it would go off, and other times it wouldn't. Thankfully I am one of those people who always wakes up before the alarm, so I was never late to anything, but still that is unacceptable. Finally after about 6 months of using the clock, it went blank and never worked again. I then plugged in the second clock that I had and it had the same problems, and it also died after 6 months. Bottom line, horrible clock, horrible seller.
While this is not the greatest radio ever made, it does sure the purpose I need it for. The only real problems I have run into in that when there are electrical applicances near it, they interfere with the reception especially in the AM band.
The radio itslf is a sharp looking unit and it is very easy to read the display. It is worth the money and delivers what you would expect from a radio of this price.
