2 major dealbreakers

I wanted to like this clock, it has a lot going for it with an easy snooze 'zone' to hit rather than a button, adjustable brightness, etc. BUT it has 2 major dealbreakers. 1) when the power goes out, not only does the clock reset to 12 am (as usual for alarm clocks) but the ALARM gets set ON- even if you never use the alarm under normal conditions (we had this clock in a guest room with alarm off)- so after the power comes back on, at some point when you least expect it, the alarm starts blaring. 2) the alarm sound itself starts with beeping, and the beeps get faster and more closely spaced as the seconds pass, then it becomes one solid beep- for instance as you are walking down the hall to shut the alarm off at 3 am, n the time it takes to do that, the beeps go from normal alarm beeps to MacGuyver disarming a bomb/bomb is about to go off solid tone- which I have to say really wakes you, up but in more of a stress mode than I'd like. I'd prefer to wake up more gently to an alarm. So for me, the fact that you'd have to re-shut off the alarm after every power outage, and the fact that the alarm noise scares the crop out of me, I'll pass.
