Simple clock with decent sound, good features
Date of Review: Dec 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a great basic, dual alarm, music alarm clock with the most convenient features. The huge numbers are a major plus, and the brightness is completely adjustable.
What's striking about this alarm clock is the size of the numbers! They are huge! There are several other reasons I purchased this clock over some others. The brightness of the numbers is completely adjustable from can-barely-see-even-in-a-dark-room to so bright that you could read by it. It has dual alarms. Both the time and alarms are easy to set -- you can go backward as well as forward, slow and fast. And finally the sound -- it is not a Bose and not even stereo, but I listened to several models in the store and this one had the best sound. It has a little antennae that hangs by the power cord that gives it decent reception, so that might be the difference. This clock isn't complicated to use - you can figure it out without the instructions. There's battery back up (a 9 volt) - I don't know yet if it will turn on with only the battery back up. It doesn't have the ability to be on-hold on the weekend, there's no ability to set the day either, but that just makes it easier to use and understand. The alarm volume (if you don't want to wake up to music) can be adjusted to low or high volume. The time and alarm time can't be accidentally changed because there's a slide that must be moved to do so. None of the buttons is large - the snooze is conveniently on top and a large unobtrusive bar -- but the other buttons are small. This might make it hard for some to find the off button in a bleary daze. All in all it's a simple little clock with the most important features -- not so many as to make it complicated.
