Products that make me happy - Timex Alarm Clock

I recently bought this Timex alarm clock from Target. I don't want to say that this alarm clock makes me happy because I'm not a morning person and no alarm clock has ever made me happy. I was however pleasantly surprised when I pulled this alarm clock out of the box to find it already set to the correct time and date as well as preset to the local radio stations. Now that is a good out-of-box experience. Sure it is a good selling feature to say the clock is preset but this isn't exactly a top of the line alarm clock, in fact it was one of the cheapest I could find ($30).
The other feature in this alarm clock that makes me happy is that it it automatically switches to battery power when the main power is lost. This means I can unplug it and plug it back in somewhere else if I want to without losing the time settings. I never have to worry that a storm will knock out the power in the night and I'll be late for work (cause I worry about these things). Plus, if the power does go out... this is one less clock I have to reset.
Timex, thanks for the great out-of-box experience!
