316 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have own this light for a few year now and use it occasionally when I feel I need to be - set ' my circadian rhythm ... but I be never that impressed . the plug be HUGE and the light get extremely hot , which always worry I . the radio be not digital - it be a dial and my dial break long ago ... so I can not even see what station I be try to tune into . the light be nice to fall asleep to as it do help I wind down ... but the light be not bright enough to wake I up without the backup alarm . the glow of the clock be also too bright and I have to face that away from I or cover it with something to actually have a dark room . needless to say , I be shop for something new to replace this . 220 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this for over a year now . a magnificent clock . no problem at all . if we power go out ... it still have the correct time when the power come come back on . Power glitch do not mess it up . Mine come with a precise time-set function , which mean if the clock 's preset time be off , it can be easily correct . I adjust the time once in the begin to fine tune the minute so it would coordinate with the tv set . it be a good thing to have a Set & forget clock . automatically deal with Daylight Savings Time . with it be large 2 '' red led number I be able to see the time again . Perfect for older folk like I who have problem read small number . 848 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock only beep . I and my grandson expect more for the price . it be just a big alarm clock . Blaahhh . 276 AlarmClock POS 5 the quality of the sound soother be good and do what it be mean to do . I be a insomniac and this help I sleep . I also think when I sleep , I sleep a little sounder . I be glad I purchase it . 776 AlarmClock POS 4 i cover the display light by add a peice of dark nylons under the plastic film that it come with . work for I . 202 AlarmClock NEG 2 I purchase this because I want a alarm that do not need to be plug into the wall , but I be disappoint with how cheap the plastic be . look and feel junky . 555 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock be compact and easy to read and use . I wish that the on-off switch be more readable in the dark . 787 AlarmClock POS 5 this item be great ! I only wish we would have discover this sooner . we have the old traditional alarm clock and it be annoying sound . I would recommend this to anyone that want to wake up to soothing sound . 882 AlarmClock POS 4 for the rest be have a good alarm . \/ por lo que resta tiene una buena alarma . 418 AlarmClock POS 4 first off ... I do not recommend put the bed shaker under you pillow ... you will wake up with a giant headache ! -lrb- Trust I . . I know ... I keep it under my pillow for a few day until i realize that be why i have a horrible headache for 2 day in a row -rrb- I would say , put it under you mattress , or under you sheet ... somewhere else . . except you head . I buy this alarm , and it annoy the hell out of I ... which be a good thing . I love it . I have a really hard time wake up , and i have not be late to work since i buy it ! the color be really cool , and so be the flash light . it be cute and be way girly-er than my old black alarm clock . all of the tone you can put it on -lrb- I think there be 5 different one -rrb- range from annoy ... . to annoying-er . the bed shaker really do work . . and it really do shake . my dog hate this thing ... and it wake he up too ! haha . I wish it would be a little louder . I have it on full blast , and i wish it be louder . I would recommend this alarm clock to anyone like I , who have a really hard time wake up in the morning !! 830 AlarmClock NEU 3 I order this clock for my ten year old daughter . when this first clock come , it do not work at all . I return it to Amazon , no problem , and they send a replacement , which work fine . it be perhaps a bit less sturdy than I might like , but it have a nightlight , be easy to set , keep time well , and the alarm be loud . it be perfectly fine for a child . 204 AlarmClock NEG 2 this be a very cheaply make clock . the back light on mine do not work . it do tell time though and the alarm seem to work ok . 558 AlarmClock NEG 1 this be the second time I buy a alarm clock from Amazon -lrb- I love Amazon , do not get I wrong , I really in the hundred of thing i have order , only have problem on a few occasion , and they always rectify it -rrb- that be garbage . I be desperately look for something not make in China , which be pretty impossible . the first time I let it go ... but because the first one i order be not reliable , because some time it do not go off , and I desperately need to wake up very early in the AM for training , as I be a athlete , so i buy this crappy one as back up . it doesn ; t work . I have try 8 set of brand new battery , i can barely read the time on it , it do not light up , the alarm do not go off ... do not buy this garbage !!! 69 AlarmClock POS 5 in case you worry that the bed shaker will not work , it do really shake\/buzz the whole -lrb- twin -rrb- bed in short annoying burst . you can choose vibrate only , vibe & alarm buzzer , buzzer only . the alarm buzzer volume & tone can be adjust a lot -lrb- all be quite annoying & guarantee to get anyone out of bed , esp if you heavy sleeper be awaken first by the bed shaker -rrb- . my daughter will not wake up with a regular alarm no matter how loud . usually I have to go in & harass the poor child , then keep go back to wake she up again ... & again . I work ; I do not have time for that ! this get she awake . the heart shape & color be very cute , & my 11 year old like the rainbow color time display . so far , she do not hate it yet . ; - -rrb- now I be look for one for boy ! 722 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock be very cute , and I like see it on my bedside stand . but I be very near-sighted and during the night , without my glass , I can barely see the face in order to tell the time , unless I have it about six inch away ; the backlighting be rather pathetic . in addition , there should be more distinction between the minute and hour hand , as even with glass on during day it can be difficult to tell whether it be 10:12 or 1:40 ! finally , the light do not wake I up - it might have if the room have be dark . the alarm terrify both my cat , right off the bed . so I try cover the alarm with small pillow , and sleep through it . part of the problem be that I be wear earplug , but I wish there be a way to adjust the loudness of the alarm . I be really disappointed , and would reiterate that the clock need brighter backlight , or a adjustable brightness feature , and one of the hand need to be thicker to distinguish between they . I 'll keep , but not happy about it . 593 AlarmClock POS 4 I do by the adapter to plug it in a a few extra bird card . I really enjoy wake up to the sound of bird every morning . it bring a little sunshine to cold Wisconsin winter . over all it be a good product and I be glad I buy it . 813 AlarmClock POS 5 it be the look of the clock that first catch my attention . it be very unusual and it be also small for those of we with limited space . the time be easy to read as it be large , red , and digital . all the button be on the back so you do not have to do a surface check every time you want to set it . the snooze button be on the top and be smaller than some other , but it work for I . the sound be very clear and pleasant . my alarm clock use to be my worst enemy , not anymore . 325 AlarmClock POS 4 this travel alarm work . the time and alarm be easy to set and logical . the display be easy to read in room light . the alarm be loud and effective . on the down-side , the alarm can only be turn off `` permanently '' -lrb- e.g. not set to snooze-delay -rrb- by slide a tiny little switch to the side . fumble with this slide switch be less than ideal in the morning dark . -lrb- the large button activate the snooze and not the `` alarm-off '' . -rrb- also , the `` light '' be a very weak white bulb that illuminate the edge of the lcd display but hardly make the time legible . it be worth the money -lrb- but not much more -rrb- . 984 AlarmClock POS 4 wonderful alarm clock for anyone who get up at different time on different day . just set it once and forget it . so far it have never fail to go off . I wish the display be easier to read and the off button be bigger . I sometimes hit the snooze by mistake . Update 7\/2007 . still like the clock but when the power be out the battery keep the time\/settings but the alarm do not go off . 109 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock do exactly what it be advertise to do . it be small , it be cute , it work on a aa battery and the alarm be loud enough to wake up a normal person . I like the finish and the retro look . what I especially like be that be have a little button you push to see the face light up in the middle of the night ... without have it light up all the time . it be a awesome clock for $ 10 . I receive exactly the clock that be represent . 634 AlarmClock POS 5 everything work as advertise . . only con might be need by a window for it to reset via satellite . I be very happy and the solar power seem fine so far . 573 AlarmClock NEG 1 the sound be just terrible and when I turn the sound up\/down , I frequently have change the station to get it tune properly . and the cd work at first ; now it do not . -lrb- the sound be not that great , either -rrb- . a total waste of money . I should use my stereo or television to wake I up . 183 AlarmClock POS 4 give this to my husband for he birthday . he love it and would use it for he actual alarm clock but the time be not back light at night continuously and it run on battery , no outlet connection . 552 AlarmClock POS 4 just buy this very same travel clock for $ 6.75 plus tax at my local hardware store . have not try it yet ... hence only 4 star . 716 AlarmClock NEG 2 fine clock , work great , except the alarm be very very soft ... not a good alarm clock but a fine plain ole clock . 557 AlarmClock POS 5 I put these little travel alarm any where I need a reliable time keeper and have limit space available . they fit on the toothbrush holder , window sill , just about any place . and the price be right . 385 AlarmClock POS 5 I absolutely love this alarm . I be one of those people who sleep so soundly that I can hit snooze or even turn my alarm off without even know it . I buy this alarm because it have a vibrate feature , but I be pleasantly surprise about two other feature . first , there be flash light that help you wake up . second , you have the ability to change the tone of the alarm . I love this feature ! I have always avoid the buzzer on most alarm because the tone be so annoying . this alarm let I change it so I can use the buzzer . one thing to be warn about : you can not turn off the flash light . I do not mind that . I like the light . but , I can imagine it would be annoy for some people . 19 AlarmClock POS 5 I have use this clock for a few month now . its great . its the little thing like the ease of set the nap timer or use the snooze . some guy say this clock gain time . that a little true after 5 month it gain 3 minute . not a problem . 887 AlarmClock POS 4 love the feature of this clock ! I travel a lot on pet-sitting job stay in other ' house , & have learn the hard way to bring my own clock . I have to have one that be absolutely silent and that I could easily see at night . this fit the bill with it be sweep second hand & it be adjustable brightness back-light via a turn wheel on the back . my only problem be the stupid design of the ` cut-out ' hour & minute hand . unless I have the adjustable back-light on full brightness , -lrb- a little too bright for I to sleep -rrb- I could barely make out the hand since there be not enough contrast . -lrb- I have near perfect vision , and do not need to use glasses\/contacts , so that be not a factor -rrb- . I think about have a jeweler replace the hand , but I end up fix it myself . I take off the plastic face plate and , use some black electrical tape cut to size , put the tape piece over the hand . tweezers come in very handy do this -lrb- & a steady hand -rrb- , but it be not too hard . I just have to make sure I get the placement right the first time , since try to rip the tape back off could damage the hand . now it be perfect for I . I would have give this clock a 5-star have I not need to work on it . FYI it run on 3 aa battery , keep accurate time , be 4 1\/2 '' tall . if Elgin ever make a smaller ` travel size ' one , I would get that too ! 694 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the clock . I read the review that say the alarm be too soft to be hear when you be asleep but I do not use it as a alarm clock so that do not bother I . I can see it from across the room and it be not too bright to be distract . 958 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have this clock and it wake I reliably . my big grump be that it be hard to set within 10 minute of the desire wake time . I would really prefer a digital version . 458 AlarmClock NEU 3 the marketing material say that there be a option to select between blue or red light number - red be the only choice . it be suppose to have a battery backup but when the cord be pull from the outlet nothing display , however , the clock have keep time when electrically re-powered . several new high-quality 9 volt battery be use to perform the test to confirm that the battery be not the problem . I would give 3-star for the large letter and ease of operation . 698 AlarmClock NEU 3 it be the biggest size of LED you can find -lrb- 2.5 '' -rrb- . it be also very bright that you can read it well even with bright sun in the room . my only complain be there be a poor contact between the clock and the base that house the battery compartment . the clock go blank after I fold it down and reopen it again . I have to slap it to get the LED 's to light up again . 142 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this for my daughter to use as she own alarm - replace I as she wake up call . it be a soft & gentle way to start the day . now , if it only smell like bacon cooking ... 994 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this month ago base on the previous reviewer . I buy early this be a gift for my daughter high school graduation ! I think this would be a great college gift ! well month later she open it take to she room to try it and ... the time speed up during the night !!!! so if you set it for 8:00 be it go of at 6:00 or 5:00 be etc. . . so I get a lemon ... I throw 37.00 in the trash ! ... 847 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock run very fast , gain about a minute every day or so . to keep it accurate to the minute , it need to be reset about every third day or so . 57 AlarmClock NEG 1 this tiny -lrb- I mean teeny-weeny -rrb- all plastic clock be nearly impossible to read , harder to set and operate , and be less bright then those plastic `` see on tv '' touch light . the dawn effect do not wake I -lrb- I be a light sleeper -rrb- and it be not natural full spectrum light . I buy the adapter -lrb- ka-ching $ -rrb- and it do not work with my natural light lamp . a real rip-off . and it gain time , @ 5 min\/week . 403 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be for the person who do not hear or want to hear they alarm clock . you simply can not ignore this one when it go off . I love it . 782 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this for myself to use since I can not sleep well in a quiet room and I do not want to use a fan during winter . the first night though it go in my girl room and it be be there ever since . the sound last throughout the night and it work perfect for they . sometimes they elect to rotate through different effect which be simple enough . of course now they be like I and can not sleep in a too quiet room . 298 AlarmClock POS 4 I want a clock to see the hour in the middle of the night and that be exactly what i have get with this thing , so far so good . 187 AlarmClock POS 5 my daughter be the world 's heaviest sleeper -lrb- age 7 -rrb- and this be the first alarm we find that not even she can sleep through . engage three sens to generate the wake-up : vestibular\/motion -lrb- via the vibrate pod you put under the pillow or mattress -rrb- ; sight -lrb- flash light -rrb- ; hearing -lrb- variable loud-mama blare alarm -rrb- . you can adjust the volume and the tone of the alarm , so if you have thinnish wall , you should still be able to use this . Great for special needs\/autism spectrum , adhd . Wish I would know about this before I waste gob of money try so many other alarm . 111 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great little alarm clock . we be no longer at the mercy of the unreliable hotel wake-up call . however , the face of the clock be dark and therefore illegible in the middle of the night . 687 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the easiness of use of this alarm clock : no mess up with `` mode '' , `` set '' and other button to access function I 'll never use . this alarm clock have four position : time set , alarm set , alarm on and alarm off . it be everything you need , and you can not go wrong . the alarm be loud enough and it be progressive . contrary to what the description say , it require 2 aaa battery , not 1 . 103 AlarmClock POS 5 it be set the time itself , you can charge it in you window , and it tell the temperature ! I love this clock ! I be order more for other room , it be so easy ! 737 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock work ok - but be warn . the snooze button be right next to the off button . when you be half asleep , it be very easy to hit the off button instead of the snooze and miss you alarm . happen quite a few time until I figure it out . again when you be a hard sleeper - turn off the alarm by accident be easy . 501 AlarmClock NEG 2 I purchase this as a replacement for a travel alarm which I use on a daily basis for many year . I love this design with all the control conveniently located on the front of the clock . however , when I test it in the dark I be so disappointed . it be describe as ` backlight on demand ' . however it be not backlit at all . there be two very weak , relatively useless , little bulb on either side of the time display that do not shed enough light to allow you to read the time in a dark room . this just will not work for I . I be return it . very disappointing . 188 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this for my husband 's desk at work . I want to get he a inexpensive and small frame that he could see picture of we daughter . he love it . it work great for the first few month and then it stop work completely . he be good with electronics and computer , and could not figure out why it would not work anymore . Waste of money in the end . 261 AlarmClock POS 4 great retro vibe . well construct . very quiet tick run electrically . love the 5-minute light alarm . the only drawback be that for we purpose the alarm be extremely loud for a bedside clock . we can not use it for fear of a morning heart atttack and have move it to the guest room . it would be nice to have a adjustment switch . 611 AlarmClock POS 5 many year ago my husband have a similiar clock that he take to college and it be still in good work order when we marry and i love that clock . wake up to a blinking light minute before the dreadful audio alarm and then sadly it die . I be sooo pleased to find this clock and once again happily wake to the flash light and most morning be up and out of bed before the alarm sound and wake the entire house . the amber glow of the clockface be a lovely nightlight and very visible for these age eye . Wish there be more color offer but i be just happy to have find my old friend . 82 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a wonderful alarm clock for travel -- lightweight and easy to use . the alarm be about medium in volume . it start with a gentle rhythm , 1-2 pause , then get a bit more insistent -lrb- more ring between short pause -rrb- until you turn it off . the light be not very bright , but I find it adequate in a dark room . the clock fold very compactly -- the stand show behind the clock in the picture rotate around and become a cover . fold up , the clock be about 5\/8 '' thick . it arrive with the battery install . all I have to do be pull the plastic tab to enable the battery to start , and the clock be ready to go . 184 AlarmClock POS 4 I have always hate alarm clock . be waken by a shrill bell , a morning DJ -lrb- EVIL ! -rrb- , or that horrible beeeep ! beeeep ! have always scare the willie out of I . the Timex 4056 give you several bird-based option -lrb- Rooster , seagull , and bird -rrb- for you alarm , along with a slightly more civilized beep that be a tenor sax rather than a trumpet . I choose seagull , and now my morning wake-up be like be mildly annoy by the neighbor ' pet , rather than be stab in the head with a big knife . the clock also offer three ambient sound to sing you to sleep or make a little white noise : ocean , waterfall , and chirp cricket . fortunately , unlike real ocean , waterfall , and cricket , you control the volume and duration . I love this clock . the only reason I do not give it five star be its stubborn refusal to go into the kitchen and make my breakfast . though perhaps if I find it a 30-foot extension cord ... nah . 48 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this alarm clock for over two year and it have never let I down the variable snooze length be awesome I set it for 5 minute and if I want to snooze 20 minute I hit it 4 time if I need another 5 hit it again when it go off for another 5 . nap feature be awesome if you want to set a quick timer . never have to turn the alarm off or forget to turn it off on the weekend just set the alarm for Mon-Fri and let it run ... the sound quality of the radio surpass what I would expect from a clock radio even though I seldom listen to it . a great all around alarm clock with lot of feature . there be a few feature that be add to the executive that i think would be nice to have but this do everything that i need and more . would definitely buy again and again ... 583 AlarmClock NEG 1 Elgin be a famous name in clock . this clock be a embarrassment to the brand . it still provide the old fashion time of day , i.e. , the hour and minute hand work . but the alarm simply do not work . for two or three day it be fine . but then it stop get louder , and now when the faint alarm sound go on , it stay on for only seconds before go off all by itself . unless you have it next to you ear , you will not hear the faint sound in any case . and if you be depend on a clock to get you up on time , this be not the one . there be just too few choice of traditional analog alarm now available , and it be a mistake to buy this one . 104 AlarmClock NEU 3 this thing be as cheap as it look . definitely get what you pay for . it be nice cause its small , do not take up a lot of room , perfect if you do not want to use you cell phone alarm . unfortunately this alarm clock only have a 5 minute snooze . I still say it get the job do . 909 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great clock for any little guy . my son -lrb- 7 year old -rrb- love get this for Christmas . it move just like a lego figure . you just pop he on the head and the time light up . too cute and fun !! 376 AlarmClock NEG 1 I do not understand all the rave review about this useless alarm clock . Mine , when set up , buzz for less than a minute , in such a low tone that you can happily sleep through the entire time and wake up two hour later without even notice . additionally , it would be suppose , when you do not hear the alarm the first time , to buzz again at 4 minute interval : it do not . in simpler word : it only sound for less than a minute at the set time , it have a very low tone , and stop dead there , until the day after . no appeal , no redemption . you be go to be late for work if you rely on this awful clock . it be a waste of time , money and hope . I purchase it because it bear the name of `` Elgin '' , a very good watchmaker . but I go back to my `` make in China '' $ 6 alarm clock , that be reliable , humble and do not require fuss about . 162 AlarmClock POS 5 as a Star Wars fanatic , this clock be fun to have and great to wake up to . it also inspire my son to wake up early . 824 AlarmClock NEG 1 extremely poor quality . the alarm function do not work !!! I know it be make in China , but this be so cheaply put together it could not get any worse . the worst ever . just in case I do not make myself clear ... this clock be the worst clock I have ever own . 809 AlarmClock NEG 1 we buy this for we baby 's nusery . it work ok for about 6 month . ever since then , it have slowly start work less and less . it now work about 1\/2 the time , and the 1\/2 of the time that it work be because we shake it until it finally start . do not waste you money . spend $ 10 or $ 20 more and buy a CD player from a real brand . this thing suck . 133 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be really bum that this one do not work out . I be look for a white noise machine and I only use the `` rain '' and `` white noise '' sound and they loop be WAY too short . I be a bit neurotic and obsessive about little thing and be sensitive to pattern . the `` rain '' setting be about a 10 second loop and I could pick out a faint ` tap tap tap ' and I , of course , focus on that , every 10 seconds . then I go to the `` white noise '' set which have a even fainter problem noise , on a even shorter loop , about 5 seconds . I also feel that even the lowest noise setting be not quite low enough -lrb- I have the clock close to by head -rrb- . and the light emit by the clock be really bright , even when turn on low . maybe this will be better in my son 's room ... 618 AlarmClock POS 5 I be so happy to find this item online . I be not able to find it at any store and it be the one that my nephew want . he love it and it make the search worthwhile ! 912 AlarmClock NEG 1 I want a small modern alarm clock for my nightstand . I love the look of the kikkerland and decide to purchase . I can not set the clock to the proper time . it bounce back between the 12 hour format and the 24hour format and give you random time for both the alarm and the time of day . this one time I wish I have save my shipping material so that I could have return it . 923 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this clock because my old clock do not have a backup battery so if the power go out I would have to reset my clock . I read the review and they seem pretty good . I receive my clock today and right out of the box the clock be off by 2min . I read the instruction and change the time manually . unfortunately , when I set the time manually the seconds be 8 seconds behind accord to my cell phone and the Official US Time on -lrb- . . -rrb- so basically I have to wait 8 seconds for my clock to change after my cell phone change . not the end of the world right . but I figure that just for good measure I would call the Manufacturer 877-221-1252 . the woman advise I how to set the clock which I already read in the instruction . I tell she that my other clock automatically reset the seconds to zero once I set the clock so all of my other clock be within a second or less from my phone . I ask she if this clock can reset the seconds to zero . she do not know and advise I to exchange the clock if I think it might be defective . I figure with a name like ACU -rrb- rite they would be Accurate . just Sayin . other than the fact that my clock will be 8 seconds off the atomic clock it should serve it be purpose . as for the : blinking . I turn off all my light and I do not foresee this be a problem and this clock be close to my bed . the light be not intense enough to be annoying but bright enough to see easily in a dark or well light room . I will make another review on the performance of this clock if it should fail I in any other way . I give this clock a 4 star rating only because it be not 100 percent Accurate like they make it out to be . I might be able to resolve this issue by take out the Backup Battery or something but it be not worth the time it take to find a small screwdriver to try it . I can live with the 8 second delay . I will just have to set and forget like the name say . 67 AlarmClock POS 4 I pick up this item for $ 5.99 with free shipping -lrb- Amazon Prime -rrb- . at this price , I do not really care how great it be ; I just want a bedside alarm clock that illuminate . well , this do the job . the display be large and easy to read , unless you be at too low a angle . this kind of lcd display be only readable at certain angle , but what do you expect for $ 5.99 ? the big , blue snooze\/light button be easy to find in the dark and do what it be suppose to do . if anything , it be a bit on the bright side when you be half-asleep and you eye be night-adjusted . it be a breeze to set up ; no stupid hoop to jump through , and the button be obvious for all but the most tech-challenged . for the price , it be a useful instrument . if you want something fancier and better engineer , go with a $ 10 + Casio or similar . 860 AlarmClock POS 4 I have be very happy with this clock . it have large number on it and light up like most indiglo product -- only when you hit the button . the alarm get more insistant the longer it go off to encourage you to get up . it be just what I be look for , plus I love the color . the only complaint I have about it be the alarm button be very hard for I to find to turn off , so I have to hit the snooze and then pick the clock up to slide the button to off . a minor annoyance , but the reason I give it 4 instead of 5 star . I have own this clock for 2 month now and it be still tickin ' for I . 219 AlarmClock POS 5 the Star Wars Darth Vader mini-figure Alarm clock work like a charm !! the boy have fun with it and the alarm be awesome . how about add some music with next version . 257 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this alarm clock for a recent trip to Europe and it work great . it be simple to set the clock & alarm and have a light to see the time that be easy to find in the dark . I be happy with this purchase . 885 AlarmClock POS 5 it be pretty simple , if you like Star Wars , LEGO 's and need a cool alarm clock then this be it . only issue I be have be with balance , it be easy to knock over , and the alarm chime , wish it be Star Wars related rather than just a generic beep . otherwise it look great , high quality , and work perfectly . 87 AlarmClock POS 5 clock design with tiltable display allow adjustment for best view angle combine with 2 1\/2 '' time display number -lrb- largest available in a standard alarm clock -rrb- make the clock easily readable for those suffer from limited sight as well as the nearsighted while in bed who want to check the time without have to put on eyeglass . 916 AlarmClock NEG 1 the light on this dawn simulator be pretty feeble . it work for I because I be fairly light sensitive , but it certainly do not feel like dawn when it come on . also , the radio quality be terrible . I get major static on all but a couple of station , one I do not want to listen to . if I have it to do over , I would buy a different one . 888 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the BEST product , it actually work and as a add bonus it cut down on morning surliness -lrb- even among the hormonally challange -rrb- . I have no doubt in my mind that this alarm clock will save the sanity of mom everywhere and will probably save a few marraige too !! 622 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a fine alarm clock . it have funny nature sound and alarm -lrb- my favorite be the babble brook -rrb- . I think the intention be that you put on the nature sound before go to sleep and it will help you sleep . great idea if the ocean sound , for example , do not remind I of flush toilet . I mean the sound be muffle , like they be inside a box . the nature sound loop be short -lrb- about ten seconds then it repeat not too noticeably -rrb- . the forest sound be mostly a bunch of cricket and the occasional hooting owl -lrb- if you into that sort of thing -rrb- . anyways , this be a fine alarm clock in a attractive green package , but if you want to sleep to the sound of nature , but one of those cd , or move to the country . 944 AlarmClock POS 4 I have use this clock for a few year now , and I love it . my only disappointment be that the light\/radio stay on for only 15 minute -- so no procrastinate about get up . no , it be not like have the actual sun light up the bedroom -lrb- like , duh -rrb- , but its light gently brighten until the radio start -lrb- mine be set for a 30-minute gradual `` sunrise . '' then it shut off automatically in 15-20 minute . I have already recommend this clock to several people , and it be recommend to I several year ago . 956 AlarmClock POS 5 I get this alarm clock for my son 's 5th birthday since he will be start kindergarten in the fall . the clock be very user friendly for a young child and it be durable . there be basic button label on the back ... time , hour , minute , and a switch to turn the alarm on . I do not realize when I purchase it that it only beep but that be okay . my son like the idea of have a alarm clock , as it give he a sense of responsibility and be a big boy . you can either stand Woody up or sit he down . it be very cute ! I would buy it again . 270 AlarmClock POS 4 this little clock be great : it be very easy to use because it do not have any excess setting . all of the button and setting you can see in the photo . it fold nicely into the base for easy travel . however , to see the time at night -lrb- light turn on by press the snooze button on the bottom right -rrb- , little lightbulb next to the number come on . it be not lead . and so , it mean one must bring the clock closer to the face to see properly -lrb- especially when wake up -rrb- . 838 AlarmClock NEU 3 the dalek be smaller than I imagine , but the detail be amazing . it be prop up so it glow underneath -- it almost seem like it be hover ! the three different sound on it be all loud enough to wake you up when it be work , but unfortunately , the sound on it give out after only five use . I try change the battery to no avail . it be too bad because otherwise I would have love this clock . 126 AlarmClock POS 4 a little expensive , but its very straight forward . for example `` alarm : on - off '' . you do not have to be a psychic to understand the control . very refreshing . 514 AlarmClock POS 5 the clock be purchase for my grandson who be autistic and love clock . the purchase be timely and in good shape as advertise . thanks . 560 AlarmClock POS 5 I agree that the light be too dim to be of any practical use . why do they even bother ? but I find that hotel have clock next to the bed that I can check if necessary . I just do not trust the hotel clock alarm and they be usually way too complex to set . so I have be use these for year with total confidence . they be reliable , simple , easy to pack , indestructable -lrb- suitcase have be store in blaze hot and freezing cold attic -rrb- and easy to set . since I figure the battery be go to go one of these day -lrb- they be yearssss old -rrb- , and it be easier to buy new than find replacement battery -lrb- much less find a screwdriver small enough to open the back -rrb- ... time to order a few more . 340 AlarmClock NEG 1 the screen be only readable from a very high angle , almost right above . the light be nearly nonexistent . I be sure it keep time -- I just can not tell : p 206 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this ! the display be a little bright , but I sleep with a light on any way . so , it do not bother I at all . this have be the best purchase I have make in a while , especially on electronics ! 437 AlarmClock POS 4 the display could be a little brighter and more prominent , but even so , it be fine . other than that , it be a all around great alarm clock . the sound be pretty good too . 303 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this for a couple of week and be very pleased with it . it be all that I need and the time be accurate with the time announce on the tv . it be a good reminder as to what day it be . when I check it out in the a.m. it seem to stick with I . I highly recommend it . 369 AlarmClock NEG 1 clock lose time on a daily basis and the set frequency drift . stataic almost impossible to clear . have return product . dose not seem to be up to Uniden standard 636 AlarmClock NEU 3 overall , not a bad product . but there be some feature that do not agree with my personal preference . pro : - big , beautiful display . I be very near-sighted , and I can read this from my bed when I wake up in the middle of the night . - auto set feature work . when I receive it , I plug it in , set the timezone , and have perfect time . -lrb- note that when I say `` perfect '' , I be not be as picky as some reviewer -- accuracy within a minute be good enough for I for a alarm clock . -rrb- con : - shut the alarm off : on every alarm clock I have ever see , the `` snooze '' button be the largest button . I do not actually snooze , but since that button be the largest -lrb- and easiest to find for just-woken , groggy finger -rrb- , I use it to stop the alarm sound . to actually keep the alarm from sound again , I have to reset it by slide the rocker back and forth . I know it be a nit , but this really annoy I . most alarm clock in my experience have a single `` alarm reset '' button you can press to get yourself out of `` snooze mode '' . and , FWIW , the rocker switch on my clock be really stiff . - the alarm sound be kind of weak . it be enough to wake I up , but it sound more like a alarm on a watch : it be a series of short , quick beep punctuate by a longer pause -lrb- beep-beep-beep-beep , beep-beep-beep-beep , etc -rrb- . it be strictly a matter of personal preference , but I like fewer , longer tone -lrb- beeeeeeep , beeeeeeep , etc -rrb- . - there be `` plus '' and `` minus '' button that be use for set the time and\/or alarm . I have never actually try set the time , because it auto-set correctly . but the `` plus '' button on my unit do not work for set the alarm . I can only use the `` minus '' button . that make it \* really \* annoy if I wake up , and say , want to sleep in another hour -- I have to cycle backwards 23 hour , rather than just bump up one hour . I be guess that I have a slightly-defective unit , and while Amazon do make return easy , it be just not worth the effort for a $ 20 item . I be probably go to move this to the guest bedroom . - no dual alarm feature . note that the unit do not claim to have dual alarm , it be just a feature I appreciate on my alarm clock . 651 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have have the classic ivory-colored big Ben clock in the past , so I know I like the clock itself before I even order it . I be disappoint when this arrive , though , because the color be not true to the photo online . I expect a rhubarb color -- deep , almost bright pink . what arrive be neon hot pink . I try to like it , but in the end , it look to tween . this one go back . 411 AlarmClock NEU 3 the only thing I dislike about this sound soother be , if listen to the sound as I fall asleep , my only choice be to have the beep wake I . I would like it better if I could choose a sound to fall asleep to and a sound to wake I . 745 AlarmClock NEG 1 not worth the price , my $ store clock be better . the plastic be very think and fragile and there be 2 dim led on the side that barely light up . 966 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have order this alarm clock from Chelsea Watch , but the item we have get do not have a black dial -- as picture . they send we one with a white dial and black number , which be not as stylish I think . if you be look for one with the black dial , as we do , consider buy it elsewhere . index Domain Label Rating Review 68 AlarmClock NEG 2 I see it in Brookstone a few day ago and be totally sell on the idea of `` self-setting '' . well , that be actually not very true . pro : large display with adjustable level . the blue display also look a lot better than the usual green or red . the alarm be easy to use . it `` should '' be able to automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time . con : Brookstone be intentionally vague about what they mean by `` self-setting '' . no , it do not connect to the US atomic clock as some reviewer say . it be merely pre-set in the factory , and sustain by the battery . if you look at they manual -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- you will understand why : if you `` reset '' the clock , it will not reset to the current time . I do not realize this until I be try out the feature and inadvertently change the original clock . I think by `` reset '' the clock it will adjust back automatically . nope . this be the feature that I think be worth the price tag , but now I just feel cheated . the clock do use a battery -lrb- pre-installed -rrb- . so it be not really `` self-setting '' . while it store the day\/month\/year info , there be no way to show they on the clock screen . and , it be a lot easier and more tempting to turn of the alarm than snooze : the button to turn it off be a lot taller than the snooze button . overall , it be not a bad one even if it be not really automatic . I just wish they be more straightforward about what it really be . 541 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a well design clock that perform very well as advertise . there be a simplicity to it that make it very easy to use . the set it and forget it be a very nice feature . have say all this I prefer another model they make that have green numeral and a dim switch , as the above model with red numeral be quite bright , although very easy to read at night . the green numeral clock do not have the set and forget feature . the green numeral clock also do not have the blinking second dot which annoy some people with the red numeral clock . all in all both clock be very good and easy to read at night . 182 AlarmClock NEG 1 it only snooze 4 time . after that , it just do not wake up again . defeat the entire purpose of the device . 936 AlarmClock POS 5 when the nagging wife and scream kid be not enough to get you out of bed in the morning , you 'll sleep comfortably know that you have the Timex T104DL Alarm clock . while not the loudest alarm clock I have ever hear , it do a adequate job of get this bump-on-a-log out of bed and to work on time . weigh in at only 1 lb. , the Timex T104DL Alarm clock be perfect -lrb- and durable enough -rrb- for throw across the room when you have not quite recover from last night 's bender . just make sure you have insert the two require aa battery -lrb- find at any local grocery store -rrb- before you toss . recommend for people who have a job that require you to show up on time . 960 AlarmClock POS 5 I love all the different sound , of course some more than other . it be easy to operate and the alarm sound be great . 150 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock be just what we be look for - easy to use and have a small footprint on we nightstand . it would easily fit in you pocket or a purse . when close , it measure just under 2 1\/2 `` w x 3 1\/2 `` l x 5\/8 `` D. it come with a `` button '' battery , rather than the more easy to replace aa or aaa battery . since we have no idea how long the battery will last , we decide to just buy a new battery and keep it on hand in the nightstand drawer . the Energizer model be 357\/303 -lrb- also #ag 13 , lr44 , exp76 -rrb- . these battery be sell at hardware store , Radio Shack , etc. . 693 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a awesome figurine . however , the snooze only go off for 2 minute , and if during that time you do not hit the snooze it will not go off again . the clock do not light up so you can see it in the dark , you have to push on the head to make it light up for a minute . so it be not a very good alarm , unless you set another one for back up . 22 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this clock for my aging father in July ' 10 . it work well and he could see it until today ... it go blank , nothing on the display . I replace the 4 battery even though I have it plug into the electrical outlet and still nothing . I would have think it would have last longer than 4 month . a piece of junk !!!! 116 AlarmClock NEG 2 . . probably not a good choice for a sound sleeper . the alarm on this clock be not very loud . I measure it at 75 db at a distance of 1 foot from the alarm -lrb- use the sound meter this would be forgivable if the alarm be persistent , but it shut off after one 1 minute of operation . the light be ineffective ; you will not be able to read the time on this clock in a dark room without a external light source . in addition , this alarm use a 1.5 v button style battery , a form factor that might be hard to locate in a pinch should it run out on the road . avoid if the user be a heavy sleeper ! better than no alarm clock at all ... but barely . 704 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great little clock for the price - love that it show time-zone , day , date & time -lrb- in 12 or 24 hr format -rrb- , temperature , daylight savings , and have a light button for nighttime . also have a solar panel for back-up battery power - the main feature I choose this clock for ! after Hurricane Irene , I realize how important it be to have battery or solar power appliance . my only two complaint be that the alarm be not very loud and would not wake a deep sleeper , and my unit do not seem to sync up with the atomic clock in Denver , CO - the product instruction indicate that it will do so in a matter of minute and set the time , day , date , time zone , etc. . I have to manually set all these feature . 915 AlarmClock NEG 2 ok . . I love the footprint of this . fairly small and unobtrusive . have a nice look to it . have a very large library of `` relax '' sound . those be the pro 's ... here come the con . while this clock\/radio have a large library of `` relax '' sound they be all on 3 to 5 second loop . in other word , the cricket or frog or foghorn or whatever repeat themselves over and over and over . this be anything but relaxing . . in my opinion it be the opposite of relaxing . . it be pretty irritating . I have have sound machine radio in the past that at least have 30 second loop which be still too short but not nearly as bad as this machine . the display ... OMG it be bright . . it be like a freak blue streetlight in a completely dark room . it come with a 3 position brightness control but there be very little difference between the setting . while I love the concept of this clock\/radio it fall way short of be practical . I will be return mine in the next couple day and continue my search for a well design replacement . 700 AlarmClock NEU 3 well , it tell time , have a alarm function , and make sound ... I just feel a lot of the sound be sound effect , if that make sense . Steam Train intrigue I , until I put it on . Aviary be OBNOXIOUS ! it sound like a bunch of bird duke it out ! City be nifty , though , thunderstorm be really cool . my real beef be that the speaker be in the back of this contraption . so everything get dull and muffle a bit . not a lot , but a bit . all in all , I like my old one just as much , but I do not really regret this purchase . I doubt other brand would be any different . 934 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be great in Europe . it alarm well and keep perfect time . it be small enough to easily pack but big enough to see the time . the light face be great when view at night . I will buy another as a gift ! . this be perfect for my bedside clock ! 388 AlarmClock POS 5 I want a simple , inexpensive digital alarm clock and this one be perfect . it be easy to set up , easy to use , big number be easy to read . travels great . I actually keep it on my desk when not travel to track another time zone for work . I be totally satisfy . 589 AlarmClock NEU 3 so overall I have to say I love this product . I buy it for my husband specifically because of the train sound , and the large variety of sound setting . pro : nice variety of sound setting , two separate alarm setting , nice big display for the clock . nice big snooze bar , easy to find when you be blindly swat at the clock to turn off the alarm . : -rrb- con : the clock be very bright . I notice now that we have own it for about a year the clock be start to flicker , so it be become dim and sometimes disappear altogether . the lowest setting for the volume be still quite high , so we always have to have something behind it to reduce the sound setting . 397 AlarmClock NEG 1 nice look little clock ; unfortunately , as a alarm clock , it be useless . the alarm be inaudible in a quiet room from a distance of 4 foot . the stand\/cover be flimsy . 543 AlarmClock POS 4 product have good display characteristic . Easy to read in the dark . I think its automatic time set be 1 minute off which be a bit disconcerting . 779 AlarmClock POS 5 if all you want or need be a easy-to-set , easy-to-use , featherweight travel alarm that do not keep you awake with its loud ticking , this be you clock ! I love the illuminating button , which allow I to check the time quickly and then fade out , so I do not lie there stare at the digital time report in the darkness . the alarm be loud enough to rouse I , but otherwise this clock , unlike its predecessor , be silent , thank goodness . at this price , it just do not get any better . 241 AlarmClock POS 5 I be not sure what to expect when I order the Lego\/Star Wars Alarm clock for my son . when I receive it , I be very pleased with it be feature . the alarm work well and when you press down on the top of the item , the time light up . it be easy to use . however , be aware that like the normal minnie Legos , it do have to balance to stand or sit up . not a big deal to we but may be to you . my son love the large Lego sit on he night table . he friend all want to know where he get it from . 566 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this for my daughter and she love it ! add plus , she actually get up when the alarm go off . I be go to have to buy one for my desk at work . what fun ! 784 AlarmClock POS 5 we know we 18 year old like he Star Wars Lego clock because he set the time and then comment `` I really like my storm trooper '' as he walk by he graduation display a few day after the party . : -rrb- backlight come on when head be press , but do not stay on , so battery should last a long time . surprisingly stable in stand position . extremity articulate in same fashion as a Lego character . 279 AlarmClock POS 5 I want a simple travel alarm that would be sure to wake I up and be reasonably price . this be EXACTLY what I want ! I oder two . I especially like the cover ; it cover the control button but leave the display visible . the slider switch be a bit flimsy , but it work just fine . the 4 minute snooze be not adjustable , but it be good for travel - you really do need to get up when the alarm go off . 278 AlarmClock NEU 3 be usable easy and the price suit the reason but the light be not satisfy for I . and it not have function to show month-date . 180 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have never take the time to make a REVIEW BUT MUST SAY great design , great option -lrb- 2 alarm -rrb- , EVERYTHING great except one BIG THING ! I read this problem before I buy THIS & TOOK A CHANCE anyway . when you listen to the nature sound , ANY one ! about 30 minute in you fall asleep then wake up to a very loud pop almost like a shooting noise . picture feel RELAXED & FALLING ASLEEP to SOFT NATURE sound ... then wake up to ALMOST LIKE POPPING POPCORN RIGHT NEXT to your ear !! it wake MY HUSBAND & I up , it be so loud we scream ! you think we WOULD LEARN the 1st TIME WE try a different nature sound -lrb- think it be just that SONG recording -rrb- the NEXT NIGHT & IT happen again . both TIMES IT DOES not happen for about 30 minute to a hour , SO BY THEN WE be sleep ! REALLY THIS be the perfect clock if it do not have this issue . I do not KNOW HOW THIS get OUT on the market ! HOW DID IT pass inspection ! 349 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase the Timex Solar atomic clock with the last few month and it be work fine and be easy to set up not like some I have have in the pass . it be accurate , easy to read and right on . R.L. Bush 586 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be amazing . the 4 minute snooze be also good because otherwise I would just fall back asleep . the light be good and basically everything ! I buy this for $ 5.99 wait until it drop to that price ! 294 AlarmClock NEU 3 I purchase this travel alarm a little over a year ago , and have use it daily -lrb- not just for travel -rrb- since . it have be a good little alarm , but be die young . about a month ago -lrb- at the 1 year mark -rrb- the display start go out . sometimes a little shake will restore it , only to fade again unexpectedly . I be debate whether to purchase another . it be fine for its purpose while it last . the ascend alarm be plenty loud enough for I -lrb- and I prefer a loud alarm -rrb- . -lrb- some reviewer have complain about a too-soft alarm , combine with a red flash alarm - note that Elgin make a different alarm model with those feature and identical appearance , so those reviewer have probably post they review to the wrong product . -rrb- the snooze button be important to I , and work well . -lrb- it double as a button to briefly turn on the backlight . -rrb- the setting button be fairly intuitive , but I wish it be not necessary to scroll through 24 hour or 60 minute just to set the time or alarm back a wee bit . 985 AlarmClock NEG 2 this be a great idea , if this kind of thing work for you . Might not work for everyone , though . the problem here be that this be a cheap -lrb- and poorly design -rrb- clock radio with a lightbulb . for that , you pay a ton of money . if this be $ 20 - $ 30 , it would be fine ... but for the price , you would expect more . the button be small and hard to use . it never get terribly bright , although I guess you could read by it -lrb- the wife do , although she use to just use a flashlight ! -rrb- . but there be something nice about get up with that even increase light ... 290 AlarmClock NEG 2 great detail . nice lead light but like two of the other review this one stop make any sound after two day . 253 AlarmClock POS 5 in try to purchase another , I have be disappoint to find the Timex Solar alarm out of stock at Amazon . thankfully , it be still available elsewhere , but the thought that this clock might be discontinue motivate I to write a review because it be a great clock ! I know there be people complain that it do not connect very well when you try to have it set itself automatically . but I do not buy it for that purpose and it be easy enough to set manually that it be hard for I to understand why that should be a big deal . especially since it depend on where you live whether it can connect and its not really Timex 's fault that I live in New England -lrb- pretty darn far from Colorado ! -rrb- the snooze only do five minute increment so that be something to be aware of . sometimes when I want to keep push snooze for a while -lrb- but can not turn off the alarm or I would oversleep -rrb- I reach for the alarm and set it beside I on the bed -lrb- since it be cordless and very light -rrb- so that I can `` snooze it '' on the first beep . I also agree with another reviewer that all the little beep when set or check the alarm setting be unnecessary and mildly annoying . but I be more than willing to accept they because after read hundred of review for other clock -lrb- upon see this one be out of stock -rrb- I become even more convinced than I be already that there be not another alarm clock out there that compare to this one ! on to what I love about this clock . it do not glow some bright color all night and keep my husband and I awake . when I need to see the time in the dark , it have a button that cover the top -lrb- you can not miss it even when fumble around because you be half asleep -rrb- that I can press and it illuminate the time in a perfect non-sleep-disturbing amber . this be very important to I since my sleep get mess up easily . -lrb- the body 's light sensor that regulate circadian rhythm be very sensitive to blue , green or white light , but red or amber have barely any effect , which be exactly what you want at night . in the morning those other color be good since they promote wakefulness , but I do not expect or want a alarm clock to perform for I the work of a lamp or light box -rrb- I also like that this clock show the date , day of the week and room temperature at the bottom of the display in addition to the larger display of the time . sometimes when I be think about what to set we hall thermostat to at night it be helpful to see what the temperature currently be in we bedroom first . another thing I appreciate be how this silver color clock look on my bedside table . it really look attractive ; compare to all the black alarm you see or the one that glow odd color , it stand out for its elegance . it have no cord to get in the way or battery to change . with past clock that glow , I would end up turn the clock face against the wall , but here there be no need so it be always position well . it be a perfect size ; it be petite , but not too small . 292 AlarmClock POS 5 not many word can describe the simplicity yet uniqueness that this clock radio offer . the feature be great . nothing more need to be say about this awesome time piece . 703 AlarmClock POS 4 little bigger than I think it would be , but work great and loud enough to wake I up . 54 AlarmClock POS 5 it be great for my husband . he love it and show it off to other in company . everybody say it be cute . 237 AlarmClock POS 4 product arrive in a timely fashion . the `` inside box '' - a.k.a the manufacturer box be a lil bang up , corner of the box be crumple . product still work fine though . 175 AlarmClock POS 5 the number on this clock be very large -- I can easily read they in the middle of the night without glass . the red led number also do not light up the whole bedroom , like a blue led one I recently buy and be unable to use . the setting be simple and intuitive . I would definitely recommend this clock to anyone . 928 AlarmClock POS 5 I move to a new area , and the radio reception of the clock radio be horrible . the alarm clock work fine -lrb- 2 setting for 2 different time -rrb- , looke good , and work well . I kind of enjoy wake to the sound of nature . good experience . 351 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my teen daughter that be a hard sleeper . ordinary clock never wake she ; this one however , shake she and wake she . in fact , it wake everyone in the house on both floor . the color be rich and the vibrator be really powerful . I love it and so do she . now , I can be at work without have to worry whether or not she be go to get up . she have literally no option with this clock . 743 AlarmClock POS 5 I have be oversleep on workday for the first time in my life - sleep through alarm . now no more worry . this really do work , and I find it very cute too . the sound be adjustable both in quality and volume - and the shaker really work . I be very grateful . it be easy to set both the time and the alarm . one reviewer complain about the brightness - and the number be bright during the night and change color , but I like it . be just hope that I do not annoy my neighbor , so I not set on the higher volume . this be definitely a very girly look clock . I have purchase three altogether - one for my bedroom , one for the living room set 20 minute later , and one for work - just to look pretty and keep I in touch with the time . you can can a visual alarm with a small row of light flash if you do not want the sound . I also purchase a extension cord which work fine . I be very pleased with this clock ! 526 AlarmClock POS 4 i just buy this and it work like a charm ... it be the best for thoose people who need to wake with a quiet alarm so you wont wake other ... this be the best !! 901 AlarmClock NEG 1 Update - less than 3 month after purchase ... this ALARM CLOCK have die ! it geek and reset itself to 12:00 be whenever the alarm be due to go off ... so not only do it not wake you up when it should it cant even keep time . so I buy it on May 11 , 2011 and by August 1 , 2011 ... I have to go out and buy a new one . save you money buy something else !!!! I have expectionally high hope for this radio ... but really all I want it to do be wake I up effectively . its not that hard , I want it to tell I the time -lrb- and not consistently just change the time for I , like my old clock -rrb- and wake I up on time . oh it wake I up on time alright ! unless you wanna use the snooze button ! the sound be fine on the unit in term of the speaker . the sound like ... you know ... the sound . and I be happy ... until one morning I hit the snooze button . HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Wtf ? HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!! so I hit the sound button , in a groggy stupor . and the sound stop ... problem solve right ? no it turn off the alarm . yeah ... I be late to work . the next morning I again hit the snooze button of hum death ... and the Humm -lrb- Im serious ... its not quiet ... its not something you can sleep through -rrb- begin again ... but this time I think OOOOOH no you dont ! and ... -lrb- btw im now fully awake -rrb- I stare at the clock , uselessly . how can I cercumvent this ? answer ? you cant ! and dont bother look at the meaningless manual it come with . you can however , set alarm 1 for the time you want to start wake up and alarm 2 for the time you best get up . but that really be useless if you and you hunny use the same clock . the clock be crap , and not worth the amount I pay and honestly if it wasnt such a pain in the arse , I would send that clock a packin back to amazon . save you money ... buy a USEFUL clock . 157 AlarmClock POS 5 large display allow I see the time without my glass . Easy to read from across the room . 2 brightness setting . Easy to set . Works perfectly . 862 AlarmClock POS 4 overall a very good clock that be easy to use and compact . one draw back - it be not backlit so see time in the dark be impossible -lrb- it do have a backlight button -rrb- . 625 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock can be $ 15 plus if they be sell in IKEA . they have very fancy color flash color and I love the temperature function . it be more accurate more responsive than my other themo device at home . the alarm function be just a joke . it be very difficult to setup the alarm function and the alarm be just Merry Christmas music ... 851 AlarmClock POS 4 they have change this clock since the review by dr that be currently list as most helpful . the small change be that it now use 3 aa battery instead of one c cell . the big , and good , change be that the clock now have a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness of the automatic dial light . you can adjust it from very dim to brighter than a night light . the light itself have also apparently change from earlier model ; now it be a even , overall green light dial instead of a hot spot of light . you can still also push the snooze button to get a very bright blue light . the bad part about this clock be the hand . some designer must have think they would give it some sort of `` look '' with the cut-out design of the hand instead of the functionality of a solid hand . the cut-out hand make it very difficult to see the time at night with the back-lit dial because the light come `` through '' the hand and fuzz they out . to be able to see the time require that you turn the dial light way up , which be very annoying in my opinion . fortunately it be easy to fix if you be even modestly handy . pry off the lens with a very small screwdriver at either the 6 or 12 o'clock position . Cut some black electrician 's tape with a fine scissors or x-acto blade to span the open cut-out on the hour and the minute hand and apply it . I use a tweezers to position and apply the tape , gently tamp it onto the hand to stick . the whole process take less than 5 minute and be now easy to read in day or night condition . I have upload a photo of the result . 20 AlarmClock NEG 2 yup , you can have the alarm go off -lrb- or not -rrb- at different time on different day of the week . definitely cool and much appreciate . pity it have so many limitation . 1 -rrb- a analog tuner , and a hard to use one at that . one small dial be all you get . if you must go analog at least give we better sensitivity . tuning be hard , and seem to drift over time . 2 -rrb- too make that worse the antenna be in the not very long power cord . this mean you can not exactly move the antenna around to help get a better signal , and as the tuner be crappy this compound it . 3 -rrb- sound quality be average at best . you can not expect much from something this small , but its worse than we previous alarm which be no better . really crackly high and almost no bass . 4 -rrb- the volume control be bias really high for a alarm clock . I have it set to next to nothing and it be still plenty loud for listen to during the day . 5 -rrb- the time display be awful . dark green on a bright green background . lack in contrast and too small so it be really hard to read any time of day or night . decent display have be around , and cheap , for age so screw this up be really sad . so , average sound , the two simplest control -lrb- tuner and volume -rrb- be do badly , and the display suck . still sure you want this ? 223 AlarmClock NEG 2 my wife have want one of these for year and finally get one for Christmas . within a day it have lose 5 minute . the alarm time -lrb- as note in other review -rrb- be only a approximation . carefully set for 7:00 , it buzz somewhere between 6:45 and 7:15 , and not consistantly . the alarm light do not work . who perform quality control on this thing ? we 'll be send this one back for replacement in hope this example be a lemon . my biggest complaint be the clock come with a big warning sticker tell you the setting knob -lrb- both time and alarm -rrb- must only be turn one way , as indicate by the arrow on the back , to avoid damage the mechanism . I do not know about you , but none of my old analog clock require you to turn the hand one way only . in addition , I be just lazy enough to want to reach around the clock and turn the adjustment knob without look at they . Gosh , I sure hope I do not inadvertantly spin they the wrong way and wreck the clock ... especially at this price . I note this clock be make in China and feel cheaply make . Dave UPDATE : we have have the replacement clock for about 2 month now , and it be acceptably accurate . I have upgrade this review to 2 star as the clock still retain the cheap feel and restrictive alarm setting requirement ; but more important , this have a most annoying alarm . for a clock design to sooth you awake , this one make you grind you tooth . my wife use another clock as she alarm , but keep this one on the nightstand because she like the `` retro '' look . still only two star , but that be a 100 % improvement over my initial assessment . 565 AlarmClock NEG 2 I try the `` equity by La Crosse SkyScan 31269 lcd atomic Alarm clock '' and it be fine except the clock run from battery only even though they give you a ac adapter . the ac adapter be for the ceiling display only . when you change the battery on the La Crosse , the clock and all setting be lose so I return it and buy the `` SmartSet dual alarm AM\/FM clock radio '' . the ceiling time can not show right side up with the clock face you , this be like most other ceiling clock so watch out . the La Crosse have the most advanced ceiling display as it can be twist all 4 direction , but can not be twist enough to use the clock with the ceiling display right side up . 420 AlarmClock NEG 2 this clock be disappointing for $ 50 . it look larger online than actual . it be difficult to set the alarm without hold onto it with both hand because it be so small and lightweight . the sound quality be lack . when the alarm be set to sound which need to have the volume up , there be no way to play the sound while you fall asleep unless you like it loud and no timer . I have always be impress with sharper image product until now . 800 AlarmClock POS 4 bought dark wood clock : clock be make of plastic with a qualify wooden affect . it be a 6cm cube . image of the product on Amazon be a little misleading about the size . nevertheless it be elegant small alarm clock . have bright red digit and a powerful alarm sound . it have a automatic standby mode . clap often work for this clock to turn on from even 5 m away . need two of AAA battery ; and in manual , it be say two battery last for about a month . -lrb- i havent test it yet -rrb- 523 AlarmClock POS 4 I do not need a alarm clock that will wake the dead and this one be just what I need . it be not too loud and not too soft on my ear . it be easy to set the time and the alarm and it do not take up too much space on my night stand . I like the fact that I do not have to deal with wire and power outage . some people may like a large clock , but not I . 832 AlarmClock POS 5 if you want retro design and quality , this be the alarm clock for you . I love it . . the soft moonbeam glow wake you up if you be a light sleeper . . and the alarm be nice and loud for those who sleep soundly . the retro-style and soft pink color be very endearing , and especially love the blush of pink on the face of the clock . Easy and simple to set the alarm too . a adorable clock for any room , really . I have one for my living room since it match my retro decor and one for my bedside . 905 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be easy to setup and once the tracker feature lock on to the satellite , it keep very accurate time . Easy to see at night . the other nice feature be the battery that protect the clock from lose time during short period of power outage . good buy for a area the experience brief but frequent power outage . 546 AlarmClock POS 5 DIDD not buy it for alarm purpose . BOUGHT IT to keep time . and that , it do , oh SO WELL . ALSO have a very large screen for easier viewing . all in all , a good piece . 322 AlarmClock NEU 3 we have have no problem with this unit . it be pretty cheaply make and I be actually surprise that the CD door have not break off yet . the time also seem to be just a little bit faster than other clock , as I have to move the time back a couple of minute every couple of month . 99 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a wonderful clock ! simply plug in the clock , pick you area and the time be set , it do not get easier than that . I have it place across the room and have no trouble see what time it be without my glass . a great buy . 164 AlarmClock POS 5 very good , in my opinion , because : 1 -rrb- it use battery , so I do not have to worry about the charge cord come off or sudden disruption of electricity 2 -rrb- provide 24-hour system , celsius degree temperature thermometer , date and day setting . at first I be confuse with the button , but after a while I be happy . 3 -rrb- it be not that easy to switch the alarm off . you need to be awake and press through at least two button to turn it off . so no worry of accidentally turn it off . 4 -rrb- the light !!! I love they ! they be pretty and very handy when you need to walk around in you dark bedroom , and since switch the room light on hurt you eye , this be just nice . 5 -rrb- annoying alarm tune . they be so out of tune that you will be scare wide-awake . 483 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this as a present for my husband , but the display do not work . he choose to call the sharper image rather than Amazon for instruction . he be tell to bring the clock to any `` Bed , Bath and Beyond , '' and they would exchange it , no question ask . the new unit work well , and the sound be unique and fun . 866 AlarmClock NEU 3 this seem like the most amazing Christmas present . who would not want they own Dalek , one with a actual purpose ? however , I fear that might have be exactly what I get . I be quite suspicious that that thing be in fact a evil alien . every time it go off , I nearly fall out of bed . it be actually incredibly jarring . plus , the direction be a bit hard to follow , and it be difficult to remember how to turn it off when you have just be jolt awake in such a manner . so , I think I figure out how to turn off the alarm function and just use it as a clock and something to show off to my friend . the projection be very cool and work very well . however , after a couple of day and with no warning , it start go off on its own and not turn off no matter what I do . I have to take the battery out , and now its just a attractive paperweight . appreciate , but beware . 208 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a nice item - good amount of sound to choose from , but the quality of the sound be not all that great . the biggest complaint I have be that it be very loud . I leave it at volume 1 , but I find myself angle the speaker away from I while I sleep because it be not as soft as I would like it . volume 2 be way too loud for I to use while I drift to sleep . I wish you could set the alarm at one level of volume and the sleep sound at another , but you CAN NOT . that part be annoying - I have to wake up to volume 1 b\/c I need the sleep sound at volume 1 . on the positive side , it be really easy to set up , nice look -lrb- fairly wide , but I have the space for it -rrb- . glad that it come with beep option for the alarm , not just sound . the display have low-med-high backlighting which be also a plus . 5-min snooze . 837 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be disappoint in the fm audio quality for the FM broadcast band . it sound limited and mushy . also it could not reliably pick up a distant station which I can now get on a boombox -lrb- I return this unit -rrb- . it be very well make and very easy to program and I would recommend it to anyone who only want FM as a extra and do not plan on listen to FM a lot . 854 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a pretty decent little alarm clock . it be be reliable . the sound of the alarm be a beep which be loud enough to wake you without be too jarring . I absolutely love the indigo light display which be easy on the eye . the button to turn on the indigo display be a great size and centrally located , but I do not like how small and cumbersome the other button be . even though the unit be small , I feel the design of the other button could have be a little more user friendly for the sleepy , often one-eye-open user of the clock . 677 AlarmClock NEG 1 arrive in the box break . alarm do not go off and the second hand skip back a second every minute or two cause it to be off by hour within a single day . I will be return this item . 806 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock radio lose 3 -4 4 minute daily so I send it back to the company I buy it from ... Photoland NY ... for a replacement after I get no response at all from the Coby company . the second clock arrive and have the same issue ... lose time on a daily basis once again . I try contact the Coby Co. to use the warranty but once again get absolutely no respnse so I contact Photoland NY and they say to return it and they would refund the cost plus the shipping I pay to return both unit . this ia a absolute piece of junk ! useless if you need it to use as a alarm clock but the CD player and radio seem to work Ok for the short time I have it . I do not recommend this item at all but would like to recommend Photoland NY for they gret customer service and for standing by they merchandise . the Colby Co. get a f in all aspect of customer relation in my book ... . . 993 AlarmClock POS 5 accurate , easy to use , inexpensive , silent movement , good alarm sound ... this product seem almost perfect . if I have to find a con it would be that the hand be silhouette -lrb- see through -rrb- . I think they would be easier to read at night if they be solid . I have only have it for a month , so I can not comment on battery life . 911 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock be great for shift worker . another reviewer mention that tap the snooze button more than once multiply the user define snooze time by the number of tap . that be a nice surprise that I do not read about in the instruction booklet . the battery backup be nice in the event of a power outage . however , my old clock would keep track of the time internally and still sound the alarm -lrb- even the radio -rrb- at the correct time with no ac power apply . this clock save its setting but will not wake you if the power be off when you alarm should sound . as be mention in another review , the backup battery holder be cheap and oddly support . this force I to re-enter the setting the first time I move the clock . a wire on the holder must have be over the battery contact . I bent it away and it seem to retain the setting now . there be room for improvement but this be the first of its kind and it do what I need it to do . maybe the upcome `` Executive '' model will address some of these thing . regardless , I be happy with it . 488 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have always be a huge fan of product make by Sharper image because of they product ' high quality and sleek look . before purchase this clock , I read the review both on amazon.com and on the Sharper image website . base on the review , I be optimistic and willing to forgive the clock 's few design flaw that other note . I think that perhaps the critic be be , well , too critical . however , after use this clock every night for 2 month , it be clear this sound soother\/alarm clock definitely fall short for 3 reason : -lrb- 1 -rrb- the clock look great online and on the packaging , but , in person , it actually look and feel cheap . I would totally be willing to overlook the cheapness if not for the next 2 reason . -lrb- 2 -rrb- I can not believe this clock do not have a `` off '' switch for the backlight . the backlight -- even on the lowest setting -- be so bright that we have to put a towel over the clock to keep the room dark . the difference between the hi\/med\/lo setting be also totally minimal , which actually make no difference to I because I just want it off . I have buy $ 10 digital clock at target that be better design than this -- and actually have a on\/off backlight option . -lrb- 3 -rrb- the volume on this clock be unbelievably horrible . the lowest setting , level 1 , be LOUD . then , level 2 jump up like 50 notch to beyond loud . level 3 and above be simply obnoxious -- I can not believe anyone can actually sleep with so much noise . even level 2 be definitely not soothing , it be grate , and after a few minute begin to hurt we ear . we actually have to put the clock in the closet and leave the closet door slightly ajar just to find a volume level between 1 and 2 that be a happy medium . the entire process of go to bed each night have get a little ridiculous , have to put the sound soother in a closet to find a please volume , then cover it up so the light do not leak through . I try to focus on the clock 's positive , though , which include have a bunch of sound to choose from in the first place . -lrb- although , let 's face it , people generally gravitate toward a few similar sound , and for we that be the most benign sound of `` white noise '' and one of the babble brook or rain setting . -rrb- also , I do not hear `` break '' in the sound soother , nor restart to the sound loop , as I have read in reviews\/complaints of other sound soother product feature on amazon.com . so those be a few positive with this product . but I expect more from sharper image . we still have a awesome Sharper image sound soother\/alarm clock\/cd player from about 6-8 -lrb- ? -rrb- year ago . that clock be high quality , well make , and the sound quality\/volume be absolutely fabulous . after all this time , it still work , no problem . we have it in we 3-year-old 's room , and it be be great : a button for the backlight , volume range from super soft to super loud and everything in between , and excellent variety of sound . I wish I have a second one ! so , I be hope to receive the same performance from this product . instead , I 'll just have to store it away in the closet -lrb- craigslist ? -rrb- and continue my search . 386 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm last for my entire trip -lrb- 1 week -rrb- , the alarm be loud enough , it have a flash blue light as well - which would be handy for someone hard of hearing . it be easy to use , the price be right and it arrive just in the nick of time . and , I like the way it be design - fold up to protect the button so in the crush of luggage it do not inadvertently activate the alarm and drain the battery . 528 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have only have this for a week but it seem like a decent cheap alarm clock - I have no idea how it will hold up when I drop it . it be very lightweight , easy to set , the numeral be a reasonable size and you can illuminate it at night by hold a button . the illumination be only ok . use a button battery . I be always surprise at how bad the review be for basic thing like alarm clock , clock radio , travel alarm - you would think manufacturer would have figure they out by now . so I would like to put this into context - it be cheap and it be certainly no worse than a whole lot of other more expensive alarm out there . 147 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm work great and the price be ideal . in read the review I see that some folk be bother by the dim light that it have -- yes it be dim , but it be not a deal-breaker for I . I have look at a clock at Edie Bauer recently and it feel very cheap -- this clock feel like it will hold up . I can also deal with the 4 minute snooze alarm -- I 'll only use this for travel and will rely on my Sony dream machine -lrb- with 4 alarm setting and a pleasant tune -rrb- to wake I up on most day ... Update : have be use this clock for about a month and have use it as a backup alarm set on my dresser to force I to get out of bed . it work great ! I take it on a weekend trip and it work fine for that too . 459 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock be nice . I give it four star becuase it be smaller than we think and be overprice . I like that the beep be not too loud and it be easy to program . look really cool in my son 's lego room . 387 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock have large number reading for night-time . the clock will lay back if the time bother you at night . 876 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy my westclox alarm clock on the island of diego Garcia in 2000 . I have use it ever since . never a battery change , although it be probably due . 637 AlarmClock POS 5 sure , it be just a clock . a reproduction of a 1930 's clock . Jeez , it be analog in a digital world . it be not uber-cool matte black or make of titanium . besides accurately tell the time and have a effective alarm , its only other feature be a flash light and a battery back-up . most would think `` nothing special here . '' but , unexpectedly , there be something kind of special about this . there be some subtle set of element that combine to please I whenever I look at this clock . nothing spectacular or even all that explicable ... the feeling evoke be just pleasant ... like see a girl 's ponytail jauntily bounce , like you favorite coffee cup with fill with just the right temperature coffee , like a puppy rolling on its back to look at you . Kind of corny ? sure ... but nice nevertheless . 332 AlarmClock POS 5 this be just what we need for we bedroom . it be very easy to read from across the room at night . 123 AlarmClock POS 5 as I have some tinnitus , I begin to have more trouble hear the alarm on my watch . I buy another watch but have the same problem - even try some in store . I buy this pq-10 about two year ago and have use it at home and travel all over the world to be awaken at all hour of the night . it have never fail . I think it be slightly lower frequency than wristwatch alarm , and it be louder - but not so obnoxious that my wife can not go back to sleep or neighbor in a hotel complain . 91 AlarmClock POS 5 I really like this dual alarm and sound soother . I can set my wake-up time to one time and my husband can set the second alarm to he own wake up time - very cool . I be not sure of the reason other reviewer think set this clock and the sound be difficult ~ I find it easy to navigate . I also like the feature of be able to listen to one sound and have a different sound set for each alarm setting . please note : the volume you have it set at while it be power on will be the volume set for you wake up -lrb- second note : you have complete freedom to choose what sound each alarm be set regardless of which sound be be listen to at the time the sound soother be click off which be great -rrb- . there be 8 volume setting which be really nice ; I be not sure as to the reason other reviewer say there be only 3 volume setting . love the 20 variety of sound , and I also do not notice any repetition in the recording ; I have big-time OCD and would notice that , so again , I be not sure the reason other reviewer would have notice as this little clock\/sound soother be wonderful . my favorite sound be Oceanside and wind chime . good buy . would recommend to friends\/family , and would also purchase as a gift . 402 AlarmClock NEU 3 it be nice . the only issue be the fact that the hand on the clock be loose so we really can not use it other than the compartment . 957 AlarmClock NEU 3 this clock be attractive in design , but way too small for what it cost . it should be half the price . if you do not mind it be small scale , it be a nice piece , but have I know it be this tiny , I would have pass on it . 794 AlarmClock POS 5 I receive this product as a birthday gift and I love it ! each morning I wake up before the alarm portion go off -lrb- just the light portion be activate -rrb- and it be so much more peaceful than any other alarm clock I have own . it be especially nice during the fall and winter month when my wake time of 5:30 or 6am show no sign of real sunlight - now I can fake it ! I be not a morning person , so the fact that this product make morning more tolerable and actually enjoyable mean a lot ! this product have be on my wish list for about a year and I be so happy to finally own it ! 954 AlarmClock POS 5 it be a use one but you would never know it . it come in perfect condition . it be just what I need for my night stand & just the style I be look for . can not beat the price of $ 2.99 plus shipping . I be very happy with it . 572 AlarmClock POS 5 they do say 2 '' display . I just do not think much about it . should have . I rate it 5 star 'cause it be everything they say . it be not they fault the BIG display cause a distraction if it be near the `` line of sight '' to a tv , window , whatever . I have it on a shelf , about 4 foot above the tv . I move it . . the clock . the blinking light draw you eye to the movement as do the very large display . be great in the sleep area since you eye be usually close . and , if half groggy you would have no problem see the time . but , consider the placement of this clock . I do not get it for the sleep area but will use it there and get another clock for the Mantle . one not quite so large , blinky and bright . this clock have nice feature and I do not regret my purchase . take into consideration it be placement , I could recommend this clock for purchase . 260 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock be terrible . I purchase for my husband for Christmas it stop work today July 20 . we get almost 7months out of it . 83 AlarmClock NEG 2 buy this sound soother to replace a old Sharper image soother use in the kid room . the volume setting be absurd . even at 1 , the `` surf 's up '' sound be as loud as a 7 setting on the old soother . I understand they be try to down out other sound , but the fact that this item have absolutely no give at lower volume , particularly when its only purpose be as a soother , be a serious design flaw . at volume 3 it be absolutely blast . if you be buy this as a soother , I would pass for one with better low volume control . 426 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the clock . I buy it to replace one I have at the end of we family room that have digital number that be 5\/8 '' high . even with new correct prescription glass , I be have trouble read the number on the old digital clock . this clock , no problem ! I could read these number half a football field away . however , I find after a couple of day and evening , there be something about the clock that be annoying I . at first I could not figure out what it be . then I realize what be bug I . it be the constantly flash colon . it seem so domineering . it be like it be demand you attention . there be no way to turn it off . but I find a `` work-around '' and what a difference ! I trim two small piece of black electrical tape and very carefully put they over the colon so the colon disappear and you can still see all of the number segment just fine . now it be great ! not nearly as intrusive . maybe the flash colon will not bother you , but if it do , now you have a solution . I be very happy with it now ! 304 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have be look for a inexpensive cd clock radio with a headphone jack and think I have find one . I be very disappointed when I open the box and could not find the headphone jack anywhere . there be no headphone jack show on the owner 's manual include in the box . the box state a headphone jack but there be no jack on this unit . I return this to Amazon and order the Phillips aj3950 . if you be look for a cd clock radio to use headphone with , I would not purchase this Coby model . I like the design but without a headphone jack I can not use it . 791 AlarmClock POS 5 I could not imagine wake up to anything else . sooooo pleasant , and I be not a morning person ! 410 AlarmClock NEU 3 purchase this little clock for my son . I like it . the only thing that bother I be that I can not find the adapter cord that suppose to go with it . so for now we use battery and it will do for now . I love the fact that the number be large enough to see from across the room and it light up . so now I be on a mission to find this adapter . Wish I luck . 425 AlarmClock NEG 1 it work only once when receive it . next day take it on trip and do not work since then . the lead light do not work -lrb- can not read time in the dark -rrb- and the alarm do not work either . give one star due to the credit that it be still at least display the time . 564 AlarmClock POS 5 I order THIS in JAN of THIS YEAR ... Yep for MY SELF ! I love it ! it be MY FAVORITE COLOR and I like that the number be different color ! go `` perfect '' in MY ROOM ANYTHING I can get in `` pink '' I have it !! 130 AlarmClock POS 5 I really like this clock because it be easy to use , it do the job for which I buy it , and I like the sound of the alarm . 28 AlarmClock POS 5 my wife have be search for a simple alarm clock that she can carry with she in she suitcase and also use at she bedside , that have a light on that you can easily activate but be not on all the time to bother you . this clock meet all the requirement , and have a very classy antique look . she love it . the price be great and the delivery quick . 379 AlarmClock NEG 1 I get this product with the optional module which turn on another lamp . that really help make the overall `` dawn '' usably bright , but the optional module stop work after about a year . the idea of wake to a light like sunrise work really well for I , but this product be cheaply make and another brand would likely be a better choice . the radio be very poor , I have to take it apart and pull the coil internal antenna wire out and drape it up the wall to get any reception - and I live in a major metro area with many strong station ! the scratchy reception may be more effective at annoy I awake than the light . the product could be really good with a infusion of better quality . 306 AlarmClock POS 4 I be currently a 19 year old hard-of-hearing girl , who be also a deep sleeper , and I have have this alarm clock for probably 9-10 year , if not more . no , not the same company . . the same exact alarm clock . it be loud enough for I , and the bed shaker be very effective . maybe it be just I , but after a while , I get use to the sound and do not really hear it anymore when wake up . now , 10 year later , I be finally shop for a new vibrate alarm because now , the time will speed up . . so I 'll set the time correctly at night , and then when I wake up , the clock will say it be about 4 hour later than it really be . I be definitely consider get another of the same product , just because this one have last I so long . 987 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy two of these . in the middle of the night I wake up and hear a strange whir noise from one of they . I have to remove the battery to fall back asleep . brief description - they be considerably bigger than I expect . the alarm switch be on the side which mean it be possible turn it on or off while reach for the light button . light be bright . if you enable the sensor , the light will turn on when it get dark . I do not want this feature but , if you want a bright light on all night , it seem to work fine . at first , they be absolutely silent . the quiet one seem ok . the other will be return . 166 AlarmClock NEG 1 I should have review the detail more closely . first off the picture be misleading , this clock do not light up unless you hit the snooze light . the light stay on for a few seconds , this be not what I be look for . very cheap and when you be try to check the time in the dark you have to scramble to press the button . nope ! 527 AlarmClock NEG 1 I purchase this item and it stop work in less than a week . what a complete piece of garbage . my guess be that water get into it and cause it to stop work . if you take it out and let it dry for a few day , it 'll work for a few minute before take another dump . 406 AlarmClock NEG 1 this piece of junk be 5 min slow when I first switch it on , and the thermometer be out by about 10 C. I think new battery might fix it , and all it do be reset it to 12:00 Jan 1 2008 . with no way to tell it the right date and time it be effectively a pile of junk that be not even a good paperweight . avoid . 359 AlarmClock NEG 1 unit be defective , only work for a few hour . that can happen occassionally though , right ? but I call and leave a voicemail with the company and do not ever receive a call back . overall not terribly impressed with the experience . 38 AlarmClock POS 5 Easy to set , durable , travel well . exactly what I need . seem like it will last for year . 492 AlarmClock POS 5 the Soleil Sunrise alarm clock have many feature that be handy to have in a alarm clock , and I have be able to wake up so much easier than with a traditional alarm clock . now I usually wake up 10 -15 minute before the alarm actually go off . great product ! 799 AlarmClock NEG 1 clock be cute , but do not work . I keep try new battery think maybe the battery be the problem , but no , it be the clock . it will only run 5 minute before it get stuck and the hand stop advance . it I pull the battery out and put it back in , and advance the hand manually , it start run again , but then get stuck again after a couple of minute . 765 AlarmClock POS 5 this thing will wake you up even if you will not wake up for a fire drill . the vibrater be great because of the long wire . the rainbow color number will get you you friend want it too ! it light up the night . the light be kind of bright , so if you use a night light the alarm clock will probably be use as the night light . but if you be use to a dark room , you room be go to be a bit brighter than usual . but I be personaly impress with the alarm clock . 297 AlarmClock POS 5 a excellent alarm clock . Easy to set up and very reliable . good volume control . the only downside be that it do not receive the radio signal very well . 238 AlarmClock POS 5 excellent travel alarm clock . lightweight . Easy to set up . alarm sound get progressively louder . number be large . a light can be turn on to view the time when it be dark . 215 AlarmClock POS 5 I be pretty satisfy with the clock . it be easy to setup . I follow the instruction and change the preset time to match my current time . the digit be large and easy to read from distance . 870 AlarmClock NEU 3 the screen never dim off . you have three scale of back-light to choose from but no off -lrb- rather annoy if you like to sleep in the dark and have a watch to check at time -rrb- . also , the sound be 5-10 second recording that be loop over and over , and you start to notice it as you clear you mind to go to sleep . it do its job , but do not expect total relaxation , nor a natural like feel . 342 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock I receive be defective - the hour hand be off by 25 minute -lrb- e.g. , the hour hand be almost half way between 1 & 2 when the minute hand be on 12 -rrb- . the sound be only similar to the bird song that I can hear out my back door - not close enough to reality . I think we want reality so we can recognize the bird song we hear in nature . a wonderful idea , but not carry out very well . by the way - the clock be make in China . 680 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a great clock that keep excellent time and you have the ability to change the sound of you alarm use different sound card . I be very excite to listen to a variety of bird call and initially buy several sound card so I could rotate they . the drawback be that the alarm alway start off with the first bird call and never deviate . thus , if you hit the snooze immediately after the alarm go off as I do , you never progress to the other bird call . you have to let the alarm go off for a while to hear other call . the next time it go off again , it start right back from the first bird . would be great if it move on to bird # 2 the next time it go off , then bird # 3 , etc. . some of the bird call be more interesting than other and I be currently stick on the one with the loon in the first position . would love to hear the great egret , however , it be bird # 4 or 5 and I never let the alarm go off long enough to hear it -lrb- would wake my husband if I let it go off that long !! -rrb- . 256 AlarmClock POS 5 I enjoy the simplcity , yet accuracy of we Elgin . also it be light and easy to carry on trip , and not subject to power outage . also like be able to see the dial in the dark if need be . 124 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be purchase to replace a wonderful clock , same brand , but there be no bright switch to change to `` not so bright '' , also turn off the alarm be not easy . Thought I be get the same clock that I have for 8 year , but it do not happen . before go to bed , I must turn the clock around due to the brightness of the dial .
