You wouldn't think that one alarm clock could be so different from another, but this one is. After a year of frustration with a rival's clock, I physically threw it and its multifunction buttons into the trash. Each button had like two different functions depending on what mode it was in! AAAAAAAAARG! After finding this online and reading about it's easy to use features, I said "You are the one for me!". I was right. The instruction book was easy, but I highly recommend clicking on the sites video option, and just listening to the whole video. It's only 5 minutes, but it will show you before you even purchase this clock how easy it is to use, and how well it is designed. The clock is smaller than I expected, but the numbers are quite large and easily dimmed by one simply wheel that actually says Dimmer! There's one wheel on the other side, all by itself that says Volume. So easy. The front has the on/off button on either side to turn one or both alarms on or off. Then the back has a few buttons to set the time (easy), to set one or both alarms (easy), just like it should be. I was wondering if I was going to miss not waking up to music or not. Not! My old clock got lousy reception, and the music was half static. With this clock you have 5 choices for wake up sounds, and I chose soft piano music. No static, just nice. It has a couple alarms, and birds chirping but the piano was for me. My old clock had this annoying feature that if you didn't immediately reach over to turn the alarm off it would increase in volume. Argh. This does not. I has three AAA batteries handy as backups which is cheap money. I honestly do not have one negative thing to say about this product. So much clock, such a little price. Read more

Nice looking, fair price, and takes up very little space on the dresser. Alarm has 2 separate modes so you can set it for 2 different times, 2 different sets of days, etc...it allows you to set for 3 different modes of days: 5 day alarm Mon-Fri, or 2-day alarm for Sat & Sun (Weekend only) or just Sun-Sat (all 7 days) Display is larger than what i usually use but it's not bad. The BEST feature by far, aside from the separate dual alarms, is the DIMMER SWITCH! You can dim the display all the way down to 0% or you can crank it up to 100% where it looks atomically bright. This is great for nighttime. I didn't realize how many alarm clock out there DO NOT have dimmer features. Alarm has several choices of sounds-you can use their different pre-programmed sounds (piano, birds, etc...) or you can go with the beeping or buzzer - the classic alarm type sounds. The alarm is set to go off a little softly at first & increase in volume with each beep/buzz soas to wake you gradually. I find it to be fine-even the first/"softest" beep is loud enough to wake me up. Everyone in the house uses this same clock & none of us have ever had a problem being awakened by it over the past several months of using it. And some are deeeeeeep sleepers, so it's a good endorsement that even he gets awakened fine by this. I also liked that it came in choice of colors-red is best for nighttime if you don't dim it to 0% but I also have a blue one on my other dresser for daytime, since I can just put the display to 0% while asleep. Overall, this is a nice little find. I searched randomly but the big name brand clocks were just not impressing me-far too many bells & whistles & nonsense when all I wanted was a simple clock that shows me the time & day, has 1-2 alarms, can be dimmed, and works when I need it to wake me - this clock checks all of those boxes. Highly recommend this is you're like me & you're looking for a simple alarm clock that will wake you up & show you the time & date. If you want bells & whistles, this one is not for you! Read more

My old alarm clock died after five years or so; it was fine except that you couldn't adjust the volume of the only alarm: a very loud beep. I duct-taped a piece of foam over the speaker to muffle it. This clock checks all my boxes: adjustable brightness, adjustable volume, dual alarms, big snooze button that's hard to miss when you're sleepy. The only buttons on top are the snooze and the smaller plus and minus buttons, used for setting time. They also (along with any of the settings buttons on the back) will stop the alarm (i.e., not snoozing) without turning it off: it will sound again the next morning. I personally need the dual alarms because my wife is on a random schedule so that we sometimes use alarm one, and sometimes alarm two. The easy buttons on the side edges let you turn on and off the alarms. Or you can use the switches in the back to set the alarms for all week (what I use), or weekdays only, or weekends only: in other words you can set alarm one for weekdays and alarm two for weekends. Without having to reset the alarms by hand. When you hit the snooze, the alarm indicator for the sounding alarm blinks to indicate it is snoozed: convenient reminder if you get up and walk away before it sounds again. The three-AAA cell battery backup does in fact operate the alarm while on battery power: this is a great feature. Not only does it save the time and alarm settings if you lose power in the night, it will still wake you on time if you don't notice the power loss (unfortunately, because I use a CPAP, I get an abrupt rude notice that the power is off!). My old clock had a DST switch; this doesn't, but the setting function is so quick and intuitive that the extra ten seconds twice a year won't matter. The USP charging port is great: I can charge my phone, but away from the clock: the clocks with the built-in pad look like I would knock the phone off trying to shut off the alarm. Note that I place great emphasis on being able to use this clock while half asleep. In fact, the only improvement I would suggest would be to put something tactile on the Snooze button: some bumps, or maybe a slight raised ridge around the edge, to emphasize the difference between it and the other buttons. I am very pleased with this clock. It is inexpensive, but does all the clock things I want it to do. Read more
