i wanted to love this. unfortunately it has some kind of short in the unit itself and the cord only works at certain angles. i tried another cord that was also new and it didnt work on the unit either. so i tested them on another base i have and the cords worked no problem. the short must be something inside the unit. when it works and lights up, its beautiful. but that's only if i turn it JUST right. and then theres the settings. they are beyond confusing. and the directions arent much help. for whatever reason, mine had an alarm preset to go off at 6pm. i didnt set it. when i plugged it up, the alarm was just there. there is never a time i need a preset alarm as a factory setting.
way too expensive for what it is. pass on this one.
