as other have say , the best thing about this clock be that I be able to see the huge number without my glass . it be also nice that the time be automatically set out of the box . I do find the number to be a bit too bright though . the real problem be that on arrival I notice the number on the clock be flicker a bit . not too badly at first , but definitely noticeable . in the middle of the night , the clock wake I up by make a high pitched whining noise . I pull the plug and return it the next day . at least the return be easy , and I buy a different clock that I end up liking better .

the Soleil Sun alarm clock do work . the light do turn on slowly , simulate a sunrise , and that do help I wake up . however , the quality of this piece be so disappointing , and I do feel take advantage of , because of the price . the radio in this unit be the cheapest they could get away with . the sound quality be poor , not even in stereo . the body be cheap plastic , and mine even have a blemish on the surface . the control be small and require patience to manipulate . and the light itself do not get all that bright . once the irritating-scratchy-mono-poorly-tuned radio wake I up , I also have to turn on another light in my room to really stay awake . I get this unit because it be the least expensive one I could find . it do help help I to wake up because of the light , but I still feel bitter that I have to pay that big of a price for such a poor quality unit . it be as if the Soleil Sun company be sit in they office say to themselves , `` eat my shorts ! we know there be nothing out there that be cheaper , so nyah-nyah !

I love this clock it be simple and stylish , and look absolutely great next to my bedside lamp . yes it may be a little flimsy - however not so much so that it interfere with its functioning . unless you be literally pound or step on it - it should hold up to everyday wear and tear . besides for the price it be a good buy .

initially i be hesitant to purchase this clock , becuase the review be so negative . but i go out on a limb and buy it anyway . the clock be EXACTLY what i want . I be a college student and the escalate alarm work perfectly so it be quiet enough to wake I up -lrb- I be a light sleeper -rrb- but not to loud to wake my roommate up . I absolutely love that it be analog , i much prefer it to digital . and i know some people where say it be smaller than they expect and i can say that be true , but it be still a lovely and function clock , not super large or anything . the only thing for I be that the picture of the clock be only different in one way really , the font . the font on the clock in the picture be different from the font on the actual clock -lrb- the number be write in a more normal text -rrb- . someone also say it be very wobbly , but that be not true it be very stable for I . I mean as long as you be not slam you entire arm on the thing to turn the alarm off , you should be fine . and it be a very soft tick clock , so its perfect for a light sleeper such as myself . actually the light ticking be kind of soothing ...

describe as a illuminated battery operate alarm clock be misleading . I want a small battery operate clock I could see the time clearly in the dark , without completely wake or press any button . seem to be a functional travel alarm .

this sound machine\/duel alarm clock be a very good product and work as describe . I be afraid that the display would be too bright , but it have setting to dim it down that make it better . the unit itself be a lot smaller than expect , which be not bad . use the control be fairly easy after a few use , because the unit be very lite you may have to use two hand to make change . the 20 different sound loop be very good , and long enough not to be too noticeable when they begin again . the alarm clock work well and never have fail to wake I up yet . overall this be a good product especially for the price .

most travel clock be those that fold up to a travel `` package '' . this one just travel well . minimal packing effort yield a alarm clock that be accurate , give you the ambient temperature and simple function . spend a week or more in one location and you will welcome the simple feature of this atomicly accurate , digital clock . it be also nice that it tell you the ambient temperature . well worth the $ 20 that you will spend on this clock . and , it work well at home in the bathroom , kitchen , etc. .

I buy this clock because I want a `` set-and-forget '' clock that also have a thermometer . my major complaint about this clock be that in the two week that I have own it , it be never be able to sync with the atomic clock ! it keep try every night and never succeed . since return it be not worth the hassle , I decide to open it up and look inside . -lrb- I be a engineer , with some knowledge of how these circuit work -rrb- I be surprise to find that the the circuit inside look extremely cheap . there be a dry solder where the battery wire connect to the circuit board . the antenna -lrb- for the radio -rrb- have its wire short . everything look very sloppy in general . I then manage to separate the short on the antenna , hope that it would make the radio work . no luck . the radio sync still do not work . which be hardly surprising consider that the antenna itself be not cleanly wind ! it be unevenly wound by hand ! not machine wound . do I mention that the build quality be horrible ? I do not know if the clock 's circuitry have support for manage daylight savings or I have to reset it twice a year . I 'll find out in about 4 month I guess . but for the price , I guess it be a decent enough clock . it serve my purpose : maintain time fairly accurately and have a thermometer . I would really like to have the clock sync with the atomic clock via the radio though . Edit -lrb- 17-jan-2010 -rrb- : okay , so the radio feature finally work out , but it be still kind of flaky , work sometimes , do not sometimes . I be willing to now give this product the benefit of the doubt : maybe it be my location or something about the construction of my apartment that be the problem . I have revise the rating to 4 star now . would give it five star if only I have not open up the clock and see the shoddy construction .

this be a great clock . the several other I purchase and return before I order this one have a display so bright it be like have a night light sit on the nightstand . this display be light only when you press the button on top and then only for a few seconds - a second or two longer would be good but it be ok the way it be . its feature all work great : the solar power , set itself from the atomic clock , and the date , time and temperature display . I have three complaint : press the button on top to turn on the indiglo night light to view the display make a fairly loud click noise , one can not choose to leave the indiglo light on -lrb- as one could on previous model of Timex alarm clock -rrb- , and the switch to turn the alarm on and off be not convenient .

this be a okay alarm clock that work well , be easy to set , have a nice snooze feature , and have a initial beeping alarm that be not too loud but loud enough to wake I with out startling I . if ignore , the alarm get louder & more insistent by degree - a good feature but I never need it . it be larger than I expect -lrb- bigger than a softball , for reference -rrb- but not huge . the second hand sweep silently around the dial , no tick - nice . I give this a 3-star instead of 4 because the adjustable back light can not be turn off , only down to quite dim . however , the item description lead one to believe it can be turn off . I do not like a light shine at I all night , so this clock be a constant irritation . if I have know it can not be turn off , I would not have purchase the clock . also , since the back light can not be turn off , it make the push-button light rather pointless .

I use it every day and night both at home and on trip . it be lightweight , accurate and easy to see . and when you wake up in the middle of the night and want to know the time , the INDIGLO feature on the Timex be terrific . no need to turn on a light . the Timex require one aaa battery . the battery should last a long time and be easily accessible for replacement . the Timex base fold over the screen and be perfect for travel .

I get this alarm clock a few day ago and I have to say I really like it . the visual detail be great . the design be just like the new Daleks from the new Doctor 's series . you have the right larger base , the more prominent band around the arm , and the yellow for the eye stalk as well . the base be dot with the orb , even the clock be there ! durability wise it be a bit on the light side and feel a bit flimsy , especially the arm which almost feel like they be mean to come off and might any second . as a alarm clock it work great . the button be conceal in the orb on the base and it project the time on the cealing when you press down on the Dalek . there be three alarm sound plus the classic shout of `` exterminate '' if after 50 year of life with the doctor that doesnot get you move , nothing will . luckily to turn off the alarm you have to press the demo button on the side give you a chance to dodge the death ray so you can start you new day alive and well . my only real complaint be this morning when my alarm go off . I hear this whooshing noise outside then the doctor burst in and take the Dalek away shout about how it be a danger to the entire universe . doctor if you be read this please give it back , I promise to walk it and feed it and not to let it exterminate the cat .

just as another reviewer have state - it run three minute fast , and resetting do nothing to correct that problem . we , just like they , mentally subtract the three minute from the display . since get the clock , w have have we household power go out several time during storm , and when the power return - WOW it keep its own time during the outage - really great ! what be more - it can be see easily from anywhere in the darkened bedroom - and even more - the display be not too bright in the dead of the night . another annoyance , though , be the flash colon between the hour and minute display . we have put black mask tape over they , which do a good job of hide they when look straight onto the display - however they be still visible from a angle . Wish we could turn it off .

first , I love this clock . I love that there be no cord and that it do not light up until you push the top button to see the time in the dark . the only downfall be that it initially get we time-zone correct at my office and then change itself to a incorrect time-zone when I take it home ... the weird thing be that we be no where near the time-zone its display . so , when we look at the clock - we know to add a hour for the actual time . a little annoying , but I would still purchase again as this seem like a minor flaw that we have learn to work around .

as a giant LEGO Star Wars minifugre , this execution be awesome . a giantfig , if you will . my 4 year old love stomp around through star war fight scene with this guy , wield he massive giant Darth Vader power . he cary it around like a giant doll , and show everyone he meet . he even sleep with it ! it be a great play toy . unfortunately , as a clock , this thing suck . the display be dark , and even in light there be often a glare , prevent you from see the time without move . the display be busy , with the alarm time always show up below . I be try to teach my boy to read digital clock , but he get confuse with all of the different number on the clock . the alarm time should only show up when the alarm be actually ON . the back-light be red , and beautiful , but it be far too SHORT . it be only on for about 5 seconds , then go off . so of course , my son just keep press he head over , and over and over and over . should stay on for 10-15 seconds , minimum . and of course the main complaint : no star war music !!! I fully expect the imperial march to play when the alarm go off , or even better , a button to play it at will . how come , pray-tell , can i buy a stupid Hallmark card with Darth Vader 's breathing , talk , and the Imperial March for $ 3.99 , but a $ 25 dollar darth vader clock just `` beep '' ? total fail . pro : beautiful , scale giant-minfig , with move part . nice bright red backlight con : no starwar music ! difficult to see the time during the day , impossible at night . backlight be too short -lrb- ~ 5 -rrb- , should be twice as long helmet do not come off clock be too busy . should display ONLY time if alarm be off . no light-saber summary : buy this as a giant minifig or very nice lego display statue . the clock part be a total afterthought .

I be enjoy my smarter image alarm clock . it have several `` natural '' sound setting which gear more towards the relaxing go to sleep mode , however I do enjoy wake to rainforest sound or wind chime rather then buzz alarm or ridiculous morning radio dj . there be some `` heart pound '' and `` get you motor run '' sound program as well .

the clock look great . it be moveable . however , the only way to see the clock in the dark be to press the head down to have it temporarily light-up . not very useful as a bedside clock to help a child decide when to get up .

this product sound good , but do not live up to its description . the clock run fast , and the radio be cheap . the built-in light be very small and dim . I get the converter to be able to use my own lamp in addition , and this provide enough light , but I still have 2 problem with it . first , the light increase be step-wise in seven level , not smooth . with my brighter light , the increase be noticeable and jolt I awake too fast . second , the alarm-light function on this clock do not work properly . for example , I set it to reach full light at 6:30 be on a 30 minute cycle . it start the cycle early , shut off the light completely at 6:15 , and turn it back on at full brightness again at 6:30 . not exactly a gradual waking process . I would not recommend this product at all . there be other much better product that do not cost that much more than this . go with one of they , you 'll be happier .

this be a piece of junk which ACTUALLY work and do the job . it not only serve the purpose for which it be intend but it also cost less than a few hour ' work at minimum wage . never mind the likely deplorable wages -lrb- if any -rrb- at the chinese factory . the back of this table radio be truly cheap . as long as you do not turn the set backwards -lrb- to reveal the shoddiness of the material -rrb- or blast the volume to reveal the speaker 's inability to handle megawatt , you 'll manage to impress whichever inquisitive friend who happen to cross you living room or bedroom threshold . I have no clue as to how much the single -lrb- mono -rrb- speaker can handle ; keep the volume down and the cone should survive as long as the rest of this good and cheap radio . the fake wood veneer truly look fake , unless it be be examine by drunken eye . there be 10 am preset , which can be directly-tune ; same go for fm : there be 10 fm preset , which can be directly access . basically , once you have program - med the 20 preset , all you later have to do to tune in to any of you 20 favorite station be to reach for the direct-touch button -lrb- which have be dedicate to that station -rrb- and press the button 1 time . the only other keystroke which you 'll have to perform so as to surf between preset station be the press of the button for AM\/FM band . once the radio be on -lrb- and the volume be more or less at a satisfactory level -rrb- , it 'll take only two keystroke maximum : one to switch band -lrb- from AM to FM , or from FM to AM : same button do both -rrb- , and one to select the particular station of interest . the distinct advantage that this afford a preoccupy individual be that with one dainty finger -lrb- which be relatively clean\/dry -rrb- it be simple and easy to instantly pinpoint and immediately hear any station out of ten . this at-a-glance , light-touch-results feature be , imho , the best aspect of this humble , unpretentious ac radio . to get the instant-access preset tuning feature with other model by other manufacturer , you would easily have to spend 100 dollar US -lrb- although they be much more solidly build , have stereo , have pll fancy tuning , and can blast music without endanger a speaker -rrb- . the list price supposedly be 50 -lrb- a gyp -rrb- ; target have it for 20 w\/o tax -lrb- tax additional -rrb- at its walk-in cash-and-carry store in NYC . for you to order it over the web via Amazon from target be a good deal -lrb- even though it cost more than in person -rrb- because you time spent to shlep over to a bricks-and-mortar store will defeat CASH SAVED -lrb- plus you 'll get hungry midway , which mean more cash go -rrb- the color of the digit dispay be a -lrb- imho -rrb- pleasant cobalt blue . I prefer the blue over the standard-issue red or green , even though red and green supposedly help to preserve night-vision . color : ok btw , you might consider order two piece -lrb- two jcr-425 's -rrb- . it be not possible to successfully cannibalize a defunct one , but there be a two-fold advantage to the get a second one in the order : - when -lrb- eventually\/inevitably -rrb- the first one conk out , you trash it or give it to a older boy for he to take apart for fun ; - when you order both at once you only get hit 1x for the postage

I have have my Sunrise clock for over five year and it have make get up , especially in the winter when it be so dark , much easier and less jarring than a blare alarm sound out of the blue . it finally die yesterday , and I order a replacement today . I 'll have to make do with a traditional alarm clock until mine come . I highly recommend the sunrise alarm clock !

the time come to retire the old alarm clock and the dh just about play tap . until I present he with this one . it have a nice silver , sleek appearance . the number be large enough for he to see even without he contact . have the date and also show the time the alarm be set at without have to click any button . have a please neon yellow-green back light and the time be project on the ceiling be big number . it run on a combination battery and electrical current , so that be the light go out the clock do not ! since this time of year see a lot of storm and lose power -lrb- more than we would like ... lol -rrb- this be a very handy feature . Easy to use and make the dh quite the happy camper . for those seek a simple clock , no radio etc. . this be just about perfect .

this be a cool-looking clock that work great as a alarm . the main reason we buy it be because the digital face of we previous alarm clock be too bright . you can adjust the brightness of the face of this clock or not have it light at all . the `` moonbeam '' wake-up component do not work for we as far as wake we up , but the alarm that follow be pleasant and loud enough to work . but not too loud or obnoxious . this clock look great in we bedroom - very retro and classy . we want the green one for we guest room .

my son absolutley love he new alarm clock and love to pose it . it be a nice size and fit well beside the bed . I would agree with other though that it would be nice to have light up number so you can see it easily at night . and for whatever reason I be hope the alarm would be something a little unique like a Darth Vader voice tell you to wake up . oh well ... if you have any Star Wars fan in the family they would really like this . the delivery be quick also

Registered for this soothing sound clock from sharper image . the variety of sound be nice , but I be very disappointed with the quality of sound . it sound very cheap and not too clear . sound like a generic radio , like Emerson or something . . if you be not too concerned with sound quality , this would make for a fine soother alarm clock . if you like some clarity in sound and look for good quality , pass this item .

as other reviewer have mention , this seem to be the only clock of its kind out there . it be the most sensible clock I have ever own . I have it set for a earlier time twice a week on the day that I run , and for a later time on weekend day . I do not hear a pop when the radio come on , so it be so slight I do not even notice it . the shortcoming be slight but I will mention they . to set the alarm you use the big knob on the top , and it make a fairly loud crank noise which can be kind of annoy to you sleep spouse . the other thing be that the little display that tell you if the alarm be on or not be very tiny - it would be nice if it be bigger . overall though this be a great alarm clock and I recommend it for anyone who do not get up at the same time every day .

it do what it be suppose to do and look good do it . the instruction manual say the battery will only last about a month , but they seem to be work at a more typical rate . one main concern I have when buy this clock be the sensitivity of the sound sensor ; it be actually not hypersensitive . sound must be medium-loud or else very close -lrb- like set a mug down next to it -rrb- . I be very pleased with the clock . Kikkerland be a great company !

I have have my travel soother for a decade . no problem , and I use it every night to drown out car noise . I also take it with I for hotel , camping , etc. . if street noise , snore mate , etc. keep you up , this be for you . take perhaps one week to get use to .

I have have and use this alarm for six year and be about to buy another one . I do not know what other reviewer be refer to when they say the light be not bright enough : it be not intend to be a reading lamp . I buy it because I be sometimes sleep through my alarm clock . the light be definitely bright enough to wake I up , and if I choose , I can be awaken by the radio and the light . I love this alarm . my only complaint be that mine develop a short a few month ago , and when I want to play the radio , it suddenly either go really soft or blare quite loudly . but overall , it be be great . highly recommend .

not a good purchase : 1 -rrb- the lcd be so bright that you can read a magazine at night on its lowest setting . I find myself throw a pillow over it to block the light - with obvious consequence . 2 -rrb- durability be poor . my unit only last 5 month . it begin to intermittently `` go quiet '' and would not make a noise . fiddle with the power cord enable it to make sound . but a alarm clock that will not reliably alarm be rather a waste of time . Brookstone would not fix this or replace it as it be out of warranty . my last clock be ancient at 12 year . but it be reliable . I choose reliable over cool look .

it be so small it do not bother I at all . if light really really bother you this may work . it be a lot of money for very little product . I now have a biobrite with white noise . I wish the BioBrite have a radio instead of a beep backup , but I be not asleep by then anyway since the light have wake I up .

it be loud enough to wake up someone who sleep with earplug . on occasion the alarm do not go off . I remember one time in particular . something jolt I awake but the alarm be not beep . it go off for a split second at the proper time but do not keep beeping . I remember a few other time in which I wake up late but notice that everything on the alarm be set correctly . sometimes it do not go off , or only go off for a split second . to have the back-light not flicker , you have to press on the big button on the top really hard and put pressure on just the right spot . use it as a back-up alarm .

... otherwise this be the worst example of assembly I have ever see . when i get my Elgin 3675E clock , the dial face be attach wrong , skewed about 20 degree clockwise . the number 12 be where 1 should be , 1 be live in 2 's home , 3 be at the 4 o'clock position and so on . the Amazon description say the clock use 2 `` c '' battery , so I buy some . the clock use 3 `` aa '' battery ! so , silly I , I think I could live with the clock and its crooked face because of the automatic night-light feature -- which work perfectly by the way . but on 3 fresh battery it lose time . about 15 minute per hour . I can watch the sweep second hand stop and start as it run . I want my money back !

the idea of this alarm clock be very appealing : a alarm clock that can be easily individualize for the day of the week . here , however , be the reality in two bullet point : 1 . the tuner be awful . within ten minute of have locate a staion the focus have slip and you have to relocate it or listen to gradually worsten static . 2 . the alarm clock component be about 95 % accurate . think on that ... 5 % of the time you will not be awaken . my partner and I have have it for a year and for the longest time think that one of we have do something wrong in set it . or we be sure that we have do it right but wake up late have not make we tardy for anything . this morning be the last straw , though . 5 % , when you be depend on this little monster be not good enough . and now , off to shop Amazon for a new clock radio .

the good : the unit have a nice big display , many sound choice , big button and be relatively easy to figure out how to set time , sound and dual alarm . not sure if it block out the sound that i need it to so perhaps a little more information about the theory about how this white noise and other sound be suppose to substitue and improve one night sleep . I would say that some night i use it be sleep better and other night i do not use it , I sleep better . the reverse be also true at this time . the bad : my wife and I have accidentally knock this clock of the night stand then off the dresser a total of three time and finally break it , in less than one month . I do not thing i have knock and alarm clock down three time in my whole life prior to this . my point be the clock be very light and shaped in a way that seem to make it not balanced with a center of gravity . it easily slide off when one be fumble with the button in a half awake state or in the dark . Improvements need : a center of gravity design for case or better base that be slip resistant . 2nd : light button to turn on\/off the alarm and setting button so they can be identify in low light or in the dark . this could be a stretch on my part but I reality be that someone may want to go to bed after it get dark out or may even want to wake up before the sun be up , thus have a subdue led button might be usefull on this type of device .
