I want to use this as an alarm clock for our bedroom. How well can you see the clock and does it have an alarm?

Hi NVRGVUP...I left you a more detailed response under your comment section with your reply.The Marantz Consolette IS NOT a bluetooth speaker NOR does it in any part use bluetooth. The Consolette uses WIFI b & g, DLNA, Airplay. All those are superior to bluetooth in every way.

It doesnt have an alarm clock. It is basically a bluetooth speaker so you can use the ipod as an alarm in any case but doesnt seem to be what you ate looking for.

You could find this answer on Marantz website or elsewhere as far as if it has an alarm. There are several different alarm features available. I clipped this "Advanced alarm features: Wake up with your favorite music or internet radio station." The clock uses relatively large numbers as they fill up the relatively small round portal. I suppose they are 1" or 2" high without measuring. I can see the clock well enough. It has larger on screen display for the clock relative to the other functions as far as characters go. Can't answer if the alarm features or size of numbers is suitable for your needs or not. You'll need to use the Marantz app to access alot of the advanced features. I do not think you can manually operate the alarm from the front panel of the Consolette though as the firmware is limited in that respect, so far. All the advanced features are available through the apps.

Does not has an alarm if you set the iPod and connect it in the dock may be will work but will be very loud

If it has an alarm then I have not used it. It is a bluetooth iPod speaker system. I use it for music; and excellent sound system!William Boon

I believe it needs to be near you. I tried across the room myself and didn't wake me up at all.It sits on the night stand and I face that way and it gently wakes me up. Soooo much better than an alarm. I love it. Bought one for my son and works well for him too !

It functions as a timer and can be set to go off 8 hours (more or less) so it will ring as an alarm. If you are going to bed at 10:00 p.m. and wish to awaken at 7:00a.m. just set the alarm to go off in 4 hours. I hope this is what you are asking. Even though I have never used the timer as a clock, I can set it to ring at any specified time. Does this help?

Its a great alarm clock, but it is limited to only 2 alarms. Additionally it does not allow you to designate specific days for the alarm, like the iPhone does. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for an alarm clock, it is nice for a very light portable sd card music player, my primary use for it.

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!

I don't know. We hated this alarm clock. It was so hard to set and to see the time (there was a constant scroll).

Yes. I like the clock radio. At first I was worried that the alarm wasn't super loud but it has not been an issue. Hope this helps.

Sorry to inform you that this clock only has a single alarm function. We purchased this for our daughter who is a resident in an assisted living facility...the hourly time announce is what we needed and it does this perfectly.

No - it does not work like an alarm clock....you can set it to play for 15 - 30 - or 60 minutes, and then it goes off automatically. You cannot set it to turn on at a certain time. You have to set it when you want to hear it....then plays for the time period you have set.

I don't know but what I can say about that piece of junk is:It developed a problem after about a monthCobys warranty wanted me to ship it to them for service at my expense (which is normal)BUT they wanted me to send them money for the return ship to me.AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN! I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought another brank thats been fine for, I think 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years now. I'm sorry but I don't use it for an alarm so can't comment on that.

It has two switches with the following choices: night, day, continuous, auto, off. There's is no audio alarm sound option. The motion detector is adequate (about 20' range) but the light will disappoint unless you're looking for a very DIM light.

The toaster does have an alarm. No, it's not very loud. It's works OK. Probably not worth the money.

I don't recall it had an alarm, but I want you to know that ours quit working and the company wouldn't fix it. Maybe try a different company.

No. It's made for kitchen use and doesn't have that option, if you're planning on using it as an alarm clock on your nightstand.

iIt's the loudest timer I've ever had, though it's not horribly ear-splitting. It rings for about a minute (a beeping noise) unless you turn it off sooner. I don't think you could use it as an alarm clock though.

No audible alarm. Only the visible. Go with the bigger monitor. The small one is too small.
