After over a year, I give up
After much research, this alarm clock seemed to fit all of my requirements. I could set 2 schedules, charge my phone, etc. It's really easy to knock over since it's top heavy, but that's not a big deal. The real problem is the buttons. I saw some reviews saying that the buttons don't work correctly, but I figured it was just a few people and wouldn't happen to me. As soon as I started using it, I saw the problem myself. You have to press really hard or multiple times to get the buttons to work. Or, even worse, you press the snooze and it activates one of the buttons next to it, which usually happens to be the night light. Then the alarm is still going off and I am scrambling to press the button hard enough to turn the darn thing off. It's extremely annoying to me and my boyfriend as he's usually still sleeping. They need to rename the Snooze button the "Oh, you want to sleep a little longer? TOO BAD" button. At first I thought it wasn't that bad since it doesn't happen every time, but after over a year of dealing with it at least 2-3 mornings a week, I'm DONE. The features of this clock are really great for the price, but since the main functions don't work right, I consider it a waste of money.

Works as advertised
Easy to set, dual alarms work great. Wakes you gently with increasing volume. One of the few dual alarms available without a radio. But.. the case is top heavy due to all the electronics being at the top with the opening for the night light at the bottom. This causes it to be a little unstable on soft surfaces. Takes up more width on the nightstand than it needs to crowding the lamp. Timex could have easily made it an inch or more narrower keeping the same size buttons and LED display. Have not tried the USB charging and do not intend to since I prefer to charge with the correct adapters for my devices so I am sure I am charging at the correct current.
