The two alarms are nice for cases where you and your partner have to get up at different times or you sometimes have trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning. It has a good price and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

The Midland WR11 AM/FM Clock Radio is also a weather radio equipped with NOAA All Hazard weather alerts and a battery backup.

Reviewers like that this combines a wake-up alarm with weather alerts for areas that are prone to foul weather and possible flooding. It can also receive Civil Defense and Amber Alerts. It doesn’t have SAME technology and you will likely get alerts from around your region rather than just for your ZIP code (or Canadian equivalent). But some people liked that they knew about bad weather in the area that might be headed their way.

The green night light reminded one Trekker of the interior of a Borg ship and sort of creeped him out a bit, but otherwise he liked it as a replacement for an old alarm clock that had given out on him. It’s compact enough for most mid-sized to smaller nightstands and the ability to play an MP3 player is a bonus.
