After my last experience with a new digital alarm clock this Sharp alarm clock is a dream come true. I love ,love, love my new Sharp alarm clock! I opened the box, set time and plugged it in. It has worked for two days keeping the time precisely on target.The alarm has come on exactly as set and is loud enough to wake me up. I can even use the clock as a great night light.The numerals are large enough to see from across the bedroom which I like because in the morning when the alarm sounds I have to get up to turn off the alarm. This clock couldn’t be any more perfect for me. I highly recommend this alarm clock to those who want a dynamite old fashioned clock that is easy to operate and that keeps precise time. Read more
Numbers are nice and big so they are easy to read. They are bright but not so bright they light up the room and make it hard to sleep! It’s easy to use (even I could figure it out, and i never figured out our last one and we had it for 15 year lol) I would definitely buy another one if someone else in my family needs one since I’m pretty sure this ones going to last awhile, it’s nicely made!!

I am very pleased with this clock. I have been using my old clock for many years and it had been losing time. Time for a new one. Decided not to pick a very expensive clock. I chose this sharp clock for my tv room. It is bright and clear. The numbers are large and it is an overall great clock. Hopefully it will work for as long as my old expensive clock . I am very happy with the appearance of this clock and it is so pleasing not to have to strain my eyes to see the time. I wouldn't hesitate to chose it Read more
This Sharp digital alarm clock is pretty good so far for the price. I've only had it for a week. I like the big numbers and that they remain lit at night and during the day. This clock is extremely easy to use. The sound of the alarm can be set to low or high, but I don't think there is a very big difference between the two. I would like the alarm sound to be louder as I am a deep sleeper. You can also set the hi/low setting for the time display which to me isn't much of a difference either. If this clock works well for a few months I might buy another one for my garage. The only odd thing about this clock is that it has a high pitch sound that I can hear when I'm real close to it.

I like everything about this clock! I had returned another clock because it was way too complicated and time consuming to set up (even for my husband who is a physician). I had this clock up and running in less than a minute. Love it. Great size display with adjustable brightness. I also like that it swivels. Read more
I bought this exact item 9 years ago and it has never failed me. The battery back-up works great when storms pop up in the middle of the night therefore, never making you late or needing to reset the clock. The numbers are clear and easy to read and bright without being obtrusive. The swivel base is a great plus as well. For these reasons I bought another one when I was in need of a reliable alarm clock. In my opinion Sharp makes great products. Don't forget you will need a 9 volt battery for back-up. Read more
This clock is perfect. I purchased it for my 99 year old father with eye problems. It was simple to set up. I plugged it in and set the time and it was ready to go. The large number display makes it easier for him to see the time day and night. It's a very attractive clock too. Best part is... HE LOVES IT. I might just purchase one for myself. Read more
I bought this exact same clock several years ago at a department store. It still worked fine but the swivel base broke. I looked on Amazon to replace it, I found it and bought it. Optional display feature - dim or bright is the same, numbers are easy to read, swivel base worked fine. Has the same easy set up. The first problem I noticed was that the sound of the alarm wasn't as loud as my last alarm clock. I actually slept through it several times. (I am not a sound sleeper) Setting the on button for the alarm mode at the top of the clock was more awkward and harder to set than my previous clock, as though it was always stuck. A few weeks in, the time would randomly start blinking, then stop, but still at the current time. I couldn't risk the chance of the time changing on it's own or stop working completely, thus it became a not so reliable source to wake me up, so I tossed it and replaced it with another alarm clock. I dont know what happened to the quality of this clock. It used to be a great, functional alarm clock and very dependable for years. Save your money and invest in a more dependable clock. This one has too many issues. Read more
