I've bought 6 of these and am buying more September 26, 2008 Robert J. Earle (Medina, WA USA) 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Great product. Indestructable clamshell close, lightweight, and small for travel, a new battery lasts for a year or two, loud alarm, big numbers and nighttime visibility, snooze seems to keep working no matter how many times you hit it, am and fm work fine. I've bought 6 of these in the past, given most of them away to guests who used them and really liked them, and logged on again today to buy a few more. I've bought dozens of different small travel alarm clocks over the past 30 years (which I also use for my main home alarm clock--I don't like switching when I travel), and this is by far the best ever. I'm buying more so that I don't ever run out--I worry they'll quit making it someday. Never have known any of them to miss an alarm, in spite of that other review to the contrary.
A great little item October 8, 2008 Carolyn (Pittsburgh, Pa) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had mine for a few years now and it has held up very well. It works well enough that several months ago when my regular clock radio broke I just pulled out this one (formerly for travel only), and have been using it ever since.
It has a small speaker but the sound is pretty good all things considered. The radio picks up stations very well and I often don't even need to use the antenna. I listen to the radio a lot and haven't needed to change the battery in months.
It is easy to set and use. The lighted display is a little light bulb that shines on the face rather than a back light which I was originally disappointed by. However over time I have found it useful to have what is basically a little flashlight ready to hand for nighttime trips down unfamiliar halls.
I would absolutely buy this again, but my current one shows no signs of wearing out!
good product November 3, 2008 K Win (Michigan USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
the on switch is a bit sensitive. You have to slowly move it but overall it works fine.
Great little alarm clock August 19, 2010 H. Lyons (Fairbanks, AK United States) Well, we've had this clock for years. My husband deployed with it twice and it's never let him down. He brings it whenever we go on a trip or stay in hotels and he uses it five days out of the week. He is a bit obsessive about making sure the alarm is set correctly and that he wakes up on time. As far as I know, it's never been an issue. Our daughter had one that did break but she seems to have a knack for doing that to electronics.
Things I Don't Like:
-Numbers not lit up - although, I'm not really sure that's a negative
-The buttons to set the alarm are pretty small and you have to push on them hard.
Things I Like:
-It folds up.
-Small footprint
-Always wakes you up when it's supposed to (providing you know how to set the alarm correctly)
-Doesn't automatically set the time for you
-It has a snooze button.
-There is a button on it that you can hold down to light up the readout if you need to see what time it is during the night.
travel alarm July 3, 2008 M. Burton 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Nice little alarm. Tinny sound from the radio but can't expect much from such a small speaker. Light to see time is handy, bright enough to use as a small flashlight. Times for alarm and time are easy to set. Up to now I am satisfied.
