I have had no problem canceling the alarm or any problem at all, except sometimes when an alarm has been missed. Sometimes I have a hard time rescheduling or moving it, but that's probably because I don't have that happen enough to have the practice that I have just rescheduling appointments and alarms. I use my bn as a wake-up alarm for both me and my wife, since we get up at different times. The bn's alarm is the only one I can hear, without my hearing aids, provided it's close enough to me. I plug it in in the bedroom, therefore, it's close enough for me to hear if I'm not in too deep sleep.
