I just can not seem to find a atomic travel alarm that satisfy all my need . I have a lot of confidence in Lacrosse but this digital alarm clock do not really meet the standard of a Lacrosse time piece . I do not know what I expect but the product I receive seem a little cheap look . unlike the expensive Casio clock I purchase a while ago -lrb- which , by the way , have a mind of its own regard time zone , -rrb- the control button on this clock be easier to use and the instruction be even on the clock . will it work for I ? I suppose so , but it definitely be not a product to become excited about .

my mother want a clock with number she could see at night . the extra large number , the largest I could find , be very clear from across the room to she . it be use also as a sort of `` night light '' to see about the room if she have to get up in the night . you also have the option of dim the number if it seem too bright for you . Easy to set alarm , and shut off which she love . at a very reasonable cost it be a perfect gift for the senior citizen or anyone who have difficulty see .

the clock be small , sleek and make by a reputable company . the only disappointment be the backlighting to view the clock in the dark . it be so dim you can barely read the time . from all of the other review I read before purchase , everyone seem to have a favorable opinion of its funtion and long-lasting battery . I hope that be true as I have not use it yet .

this clock leave out all the nonsense , and do exactly what you need it to do . different alarm time for each day of the week , a absolute must for sleep in on the weekend , or for hold a second job . I prefer this one over the executive , as I can not sleep with a bright display light up my whole room . the design truly be well think out , and so simple to understand and intuitive ... it be one of the better alarm clock I have ever own . I would recommend it to friend and family , for anyone with a weekend job , or just look for a great clock . -lrb- ... -rrb- as a side note , this company be american , but the clock be build in China .

this `` alarm '' clock be a fine travel clock for tell time . but it be unsatisfactory as a alarm clock . the low volume beeping noise be not loud enough for anyone to hear unless they be a very young person who have perfect hearing . for most adult , it be worthless as a alarm clock . a note should be add to the advertisement for this clock model that you must have perfect hearing to use this clock as a `` alarm '' clock .

this unit be ok but it could use a digital tuner with some pre-set instead of the old dial type . antenna be a little wimpy , too . the cd player need to be treat with care when close the top , other than that it seem to work ok . we will see how well it hold up with future use . this be purchase mainly because of the dual voltage switch , as it will be use world wide .

I really enjoy this product ; however it seem to wear out after a while . it would be important to keep in mind that this be a water resistant product and not water proof . I think that be where I go wrong . I think some water accidentally get in and scramble thing up , but this be my fault and not really a fault with the product . I highly suggest have a shower radio , it be great tool for relaxing and can make you shower oh so much better .

my clock do not look like the one picture above . I look for the model number on the SkyScan web site , and could not find it - not even with a search of the site . hmm ... the atomic function work once for I when I first get it , but it do not seem want to update the time . that first time be not easy either . I have much trouble before it finally decide -lrb- on its own -rrb- to update . I have try place it in a west-facing window , but to no avail . I have try take the battery out and start from scratch , but still no update since the first time I get it . even push the `` wave '' button do not accomplish a update . on the bright side , the clock seem to keep good time -lrb- maybe it update occasionally , who could really know ? -rrb- . the projection function be what I want , and that be superb . the number project be large and in focus -lrb- clock have a focus knob and one that change the angle of the digit -rrb- . I definitely can not complain about the projection . I have never use the alarm , so I can not say as to how that work . I just wish the update function would readily work . and , yes , I know that we receive the atomic signal in southeastern Ohio , because my other atomic clock adjust without issue .

this clock have a antique look that will go with any decor in you home . the only problem I have with this clock be that you have to hit the button on top for the back light to come on so you can see the time . Kind of a pain when you have no idea what time it be since you have to find the button on the top in the dark to see what it read . by then you have wake up from the frustration of it all since you have to play hide and seek with the button . okay ... so maybe it be just I . the alarm be good and get louder the longer you let it ring . it will wake you up unless you can sleep through just about anything .

I buy this clock in January 2010 from JustCalculators for $ 13.99 with free shipping -lrb- no super saver shipping minimum either -rrb- . I would recommend this seller , who ship promptly . for some reason another seller think that this clock should sell for $ 45.99 . please . this be just you very basic alarm clock . I buy it because my old Casio one , extremely similar but make in Japan , be 40 -lrb- yes , you read right -rrb- year old , and start work erratically . this clock , make in China , look very plastic in person , but not too unattractive . because of other review , I want to see how it would work for at least a month before review . so far , it have keep flawless time . also , I have not experience the problem other have of the alarm not go off at the exact time . however , I tend to set it for a hourly\/half hour time , like 6 or 6:30 a.m. versus something like 6:20 , which might make a difference . the only thing that I do not like about it be that it be not too easy to read the clock in the dark . the hand light up , but the number do not . my old one have a button you could press that would light up the entire dial . that feature be lack on this clock . in the meantime , after I buy this clock , my old Casio alarm clock start work regularly again . figure . I do not own much that be older than that first Casio clock . Let 's hope this second one be so durable . this review will be promptly update in the event that any problem arise with the new clock .

I ultimately wake up with headache after hit the snooze several time . some people may like the loudness . so although this be my favorite alarm clock , I have decide to use something else . definitely recommend .

without the vibration thing attach , I still sleep through this alarm ... quite frequently . it be really cute , but if you be buy it to wake a really deep sleeper then maybe we be both better off buy scream meanie ; I think that be what I be go to end up do , actually ... there be a lot of plus with this alarm clock , though . the fact that you can change the alarm tone 's pitch be pretty awesome , because I do better with higher pitched alarm . most alarm today be pretty low pitch . and the vibrate thing help to wake you up if the alarm alone do not cut it , but girl beware , you husband will pick on you about it . like the title of my review say , depend on how deep you sleep and personal preference .

I have have one of these for about 16 year . the same one . in daily use as a alarm clock at home , as well as go with I when I travel . it be durable enough I often put it in check luggage . some of the write around the button be start to rub off finally . about a decade ago I drop it in a parking lot -lrb- with the case open -rrb- and one of the two little plastic ratchet tab that hold it open or closed break . the other one have hold it open or closed fine ever since . the alarm sound be quite nice , pleasant to wake up to but -lrb- importantly -rrb- loud enough to wake up to . it keep very accurate time , much better than a far more expensive one I win about 5 year ago . the backlight start to get dim and the alarm sound weak when the battery get low , but that be not often . I replace the battery every 5 year or so , fairly common watch battery and easy to find . you 'll get plenty of warn before it wind up run so low it will not alarm , so it be very trustworthy to rely on when you need to be up . if mine ever do die I be glad to see they be still available .

unlike some of the other reviewer , my clock seem to keep perfect time . I have have it for several month now and it do not seem to drift . however , if you actually want to be able to see what time it be you really do not want this clock . in order to see the lcd 's , you need to be look down on the clock from almost directly above it ; there be a very narrow view angle . you would think that angle would be more nearly face-on , but that be not the case . the backlight do not help . if you be look for a good travel alarm , I would say `` keep look '' .

I have be use this alarm clock for a few week now and feel I be ready to say a few word about it to other would be buyer . first , I be happy with the purchase and I would do it again . the build be not great , I assume they have to hit some price point and to do that they have to cut quite a few corner . example : the black twist -lrb- seection -rrb- dial on top sometimes do not get all the way back to the the default setting , clock mode . so sometimes it end up try to configure the alarm for Sunday and I have to fiddle with the black dial to get the time to display . also , I insert battery into it , and when I unplug the clock nothing get save . originally I think it would be useful if the power ever go out , but no dice , the alarm reset to initialization whenever the power be pull . the alarm be not loud enough , I have oversleep on multiple occasion since I have get it . I be not certain this be the fault of the alarm clock , cause I have a really nasty habit of hit the off button instead of the snooze button . have say all of this , I like the clock . it have much better feature than compete model , for example I like the nap alarm and different alarm for different day . plus I enjoy the aesthetic of the clock in comparison to any of the other junk I have see at local store . in this price range this be the best alarm clock , just do not expect too much .

this alarm clock be wonderful . my wife hate wake up to my phone vibrate on my night stand , so she think she would like a more natural approach , such as a sunrise . I personally do not think it would be that great , but , it be . it start with red light , slowly fading in to bright white light . what would seem merely for aesthetics , maybe underestimate . Red light be much softer on the eye than white , so a logical gradient between the two would produce a gentle awakening . plus , wake up due to a light source naturally stimulate the brain -lrb- and in turn , the pineal gland -rrb- to reduce the amount of melatonin present in the brain . this all translate into a more natural , gentle awakening . pro : gentle awaken adjustable sunrise length radio build in really bright bulb con : my wife turn the radio to country . overall , this be a great unit at a great price , give the fact that it wake up naturally and without the racing heart . if you be a `` snoozer '' like I and be always set it half a hour ahead of when you really need up , just simply lengthen the sunrise time .

smaller than I expect but it turn out that I like the size which , of course would be great for travel . and the large , greenish number make it easy enough to see the time across the room . they seem like they might glow in the dark but do not really . which be great for I because I do not want any extra light in my room . however , I be mistakenly under the impression that this clock do not make a tick noise . and , while it be quiet enough , in general , I can still hear it from 5 foot away while in my bed . and that be too loud for I .

I couldnt handle the jolt of wake up to sudden noise , it could turn the potential for a good morning bad . this method in waking be so peaceful , I like to set it to a 45 minute sunrise and then doze in a out of consciousness as it reach full brightness . have only have it for a few day so can not comment on its durability . at least it will not break from I throw it against wall in anger to shut the thing up .

I buy one of these year ago in Rome when my expensive , multi-time zone , many feature digital fail miserably after only week . it work perfectly while the hotel operator that be suppose to give a slightly earlier wake-up call sleep . it work perfectly on trip thereafter and be a vital companion to make sure flight be make in time . simple , run on a single easily find aa cell for a long time and easily see at night with its glowing dial and hand . a perfect example of kiss ! after year of use I break it in Rio with a pre-dawn flight to catch by force in a rechargeable battery that may have be a bit out of shape in darkness . fortunately the operator in the airport hotel be on he toe though I sleep less soundly know my reliable little wake-up companion be ruin . I be very unhappy , not expect to find a exact replacement after the year . there be a big grin when I find Amazon have the exact thing and it sit ready to go among my travel gear . the old one reside in a little corner of a drawer with small `` memory '' of good thing . I get some of the first digital , multi-time zone , calculator watch when they come out in Japan so I know digital . I often like digital . this be the clock I depend upon to wake I for must make flight . the only thing that knock off a star for mechanic and construction be the fact replace a battery in less than ideal condition do break the original .

four star be suppose to be `` like it . '' and I like it . but I do not love it . the display and design be great . I be go to use `` sound quality '' and `` functionality , '' which I give only two star , to describe the two problem : the sound loop be just too short . and the quality of -lrb- some of -rrb- the sound just be not what it should be . what be frustrate be that the actual equipment , the speaker etc. , \* be of high enough quality ; the evidence be the rainforest sound , which be absolutely beautiful , crystal-clear , soothing , lovely , with a invisible loop that give you no impression of repeat -lrb- if anything it sound as if it go on forever -rrb- . it be everything you could want . in we own view , all the other fall short . the Thunderstorm , which we would love , the Chimes , which we would love , the Ocean -lrb- I think it be -rrb- , which we would love -- they be just too short . the chime be beautiful , the sound quality be crystalline , and after listen for 15 minute the short loop , the repetition of exactly the same order of the chime you hear and you know which chime be come next instead of produce a natural chime sound of random and hugely vary tone -lrb- which you could achieve by make it three time longer -rrb- , be irritating , not soothing . same for Thunderstorm . same for ocean ; you know which seagull be go to call next . sigh . and as for the rain , any Hollywood movie have better , more realistic rain sound -lrb- which be also synthesize in almost all case , beautifully so ; you can often hear the individual drop , as you can in real life -rrb- than this , which sound indistinct and fuzzy and , frankly , more like white noise than natural rain fall on tree and pavement . why -- why !? -- do not the idiot -lrb- sorry , but -rrb- who put in the money and engineering to make this a potentially terrific , perfect machine , whose design , feature , and hardware quality be all excellent , sacrifice on the one thing we really need and want and which they could easily provide : the sound themselves . rainforest be almost perfect : subtle , lovely tropical bird call , the rain gentle in the background . we use it all the time . thunderstorm and chime and ocean should and could be as good . if you create a watch that look great , whose mechanic you make perfect , for a good price , and then sacrifice on one thing -- it can not really keep accurate time -- you be a fool . would I buy it again ? it be difficult to find a good machine that be not over or well over a hundred dollar . so maybe , yeah , I probably would , just for rainforest . but it be so disappointing . the ec-b100 have huge potential . that potential be poorly use . ridiculous .

have be unable to rely on my cell phone to wake I up as of recently , I decide to try out a new alarm clock to help I get up in the morning . well , what can I say , this clock do just that , all while have a easy , user friendly interface . the alarm be loud and definitely awakening , probably be able to get up the deepest of sleeper up . furthermore , since the clock be self-setting , adjust be practically unnecessary . the fact that it as able to function perfectly , while be easy to use , make this a definitely good buy . still , some people do complain about the brightness of the screen , which be easily remedy by adjust its brightness . a day and night mode would of be nice , but still , its easy to navigate past this . this be a great , simple alarm clock that get the job do well ; a product that work just as it say . it do lack the bell & whistle that many clock due have , but it make up for this in pure functionality . a great buy for anybody need a new alarm clock to get up with .

I buy this alarm clock for my young daughter in oct 2010 . she sleep with white noise and I think that buy a clock with the noise feature build in would be both space-saving and money-saving . it look nice and be easy to use . however , as other reviewer have say , the volume setting be not ideal ... set at 1 its very quiet , at 2 its annoyingly loud . it be nice to have the dual alarm - we set the second alarm for 8pm , put she to bed at 7:15 and when the bird chirp she know to put she book down , its light out . but any dual alarm will serve that purpose , with or without fancy noise . and here the worst part : March 2012 , one random morning the alarm never go off for school , and in addition to she too-loud white noise the clock be make a horrible buzz sound which can not be shut off . we unplug it and remove the battery , but when we reinstall the battery , the screen be mess up and it play sound 1 constanly -lrb- very loudly ! -rrb- , none of the setting button work and it can not be shut off . so after pay a decent price for a brand name , it last less than 18 mo and I be back to shopping for a alarm clock and a noise-maker . this certainly do NOT meet my expectation !

I have high hope for this - think it be similar to a clock I see a few year ago and can not seem to find now . those of you who be light sleeper will appreciate the sound library . the digital recording have long loop and sound pretty good , but the speaker be on the tinny side . I like to sleep with a surf sound and that be decent . the problem be the alarm -lrb- which be not even cover in my manual -rrb- . the alarm allow you to wake with either a beeper or a sound . the problem be if you sleep with a sound playing , that be the same one use for the alarm - so it do not quite work ! I be hope you could set different sound for the alarm . the clock I see a few year ago allow you to listen to surf but the alarm add in foghorn or other related sound . that be pretty cool ! if anyone know what clock I be talk about , please let I know . do not be too disappointed if the sound soother be not available on Amazon . it be available at best buy for the same price .

simple travel alarm clock be get difficult to find . the Elgin Travel Alarm clock be great ! it be very similar to a Timex travel alarm clock I have have for year , but be finally fail after many year of use in all environment . if you want a travel alarm clock that be simple to set and use , and have a light\/snooze feature that be very useful , the Elgin Travel Alarm clock be the one for you ! additional information -lrb- or ... do not make the same mistake I make before find the Elgin clock -rrb- I buy a different brand from a local store -lrb- btw , travel alarm clock be almost non-existent in store , now -rrb- , for a business trip to Sweden , and also for camping in the summer . it be lcd , with a stylus for setting . the main attraction be that it advertise time zone functionality . it be so incredibly difficult to change setting , and the character and icon be so small you could barely see they . it also turn out it only cover North America timezone . that clock be now in a garbage dump somewhere in Sweden !

the Westclox 1950 Moon Beam Big Ben provide the gentle awakening by flash its light yet the bell which follow be classic . it lack the harsh electronic buzz of past bedside invader in we household . another lovely aspect of this clock lie in the back-up battery which allow it to not lose a moment . I be sure that be not part of the original 1950 's design but be welcome now . we clock be a vanilla color which go with just about any decor . try this gentle journey . you child and grandchild will also enjoy this lovely alternative to be blow out of bed by raucous buzz or music .

this clock do not use 1 c size battery . I require three aa cell -lrb- operate on 4.5 volt -rrb- . also , clock face do not face forward . it be pitch upward by about 20 degree . this be fine if you be look down at the clock . if however you place it at eye level or on a shelf above you head , it be go to look stupid . the back-lit dial face be useful if turn up all the way . rear of clock have time and alarm setting knob , battery compartment , alarm sound port , and brightness control . the top have a combination snooze alarm switch and momentary bright light switch . the right side of clock have alarm on\/off switch . there be no rubber foot on the bottom of clock so it slide easily . also , the plastic housing be static prone and attract a lot of dust . there be no model number stamp or emboss anywhere ; battery door say `` make in China '' . all in all , not a bad clock for ten buck provide it keep work .

I have have this alarm clock for year . pro : reliable ; do not glow in the dark ; alarm be a simple beep sound that be not overly loud ; clock stay standing on night stand and be unobtrusive ; clock fold up and travel well . con : require a funky battery , though I have need to replace it infrequently ; the clock really do not illuminate well enough to read in the dark when you want to check the time . for this reason I give the clock 3 star .

the Sharper image sound Soother have a very sleek and modern design , however , there be a few flaw that detract from the overall experience . first , the digital display be very bright in a dark bedroom . unlike a regular , cheap alarm clock where only the time be light , the entire display of the sound soother be backlit . if you bedroom have little ambient light at night , this display will emit a glow that some people may find too bright . although there be three display brightness setting , there be little difference between they and the lowest setting be still bright . we have to turn the clock away from the bed at night so it be not directly in we face , but the glow be still significant . second , the sound quality could be better . this could be a tradeoff for the sleek design , but the sound be not very natural come out of the small rear speaker and be a bit tinny as another reviewer have note . the volume control be not very good either , as the difference between the first , second , third , etc. volume selection be very noticeable . in other word , 1 be too soft for some sound , but 2 be way too loud . the audio loop on some of the sound be too short as well , and if you be concentrate on the sound you may be able to detect the pattern , which can be distract as you be try to fall asleep . also , the control button themselves make a very loud and abrasive `` click '' sound when you push they , which seem odd for a machine design to relax you . overall , the Sound Soother be a decent alarm clock that get the job do , but it could definitely be improve -lrb- display too bright , audio quality be lack , and button take away from the overall experience -rrb- . although it be make by Sharper image , it have a somewhat `` cheap '' feeling to it . despite the flaw , it be one of the better sound machine\/alarm clock I come across that be less than $ 50 .

I have a really hard time wake up to a conventional alarm clock , regardless of if I get my 8 hour of sleep . I have be late to work and class due to sleep through the alarm or turn it off in my sleep . with the sonic boom alarm clock , I do not even need the sound to wake up . the vibration wake I up right away and the snooze button on the sweetheart version be a little tough to find in the half-asleep stage so I have to be awake to snooze it or turn it off . it be a bit lightweight but for I it serve its purpose . the vibration apparatus just plug into the alarm clock -lrb- leave the option of use it or not -rrb- , and it have a pretty decent size cord -lrb- well , maybe 3-4 ft -rrb- . the beeping option be possible to be a range of different pitch and volume to fit you need , include very loud and high pitch . I highly recommend this product for people who have a hard time wake up to conventional alarm clock .

this little alarm clock be ok but there be 2 main flaw with it . First and foremost I sleep deeply and snooze a lot before finally wake . this clock only allow 4 snooze , 4 minute apart , before the alarm just stop go off . also , when you have a travel alarm clock with a fold over cover like this please put a gap and a slight hole so the snooze button can be hit immediately without open the cover . my girlfriend have a alarm clock almost identical to this from Timex that have long since be discontinue and it handle all these feature perfectly . you would think something so simple would be easy to find . hopefully they improve this one someday . in all other way the clock be great .

we have a Sony dream machine with the atomic clock function . it have no battery backup and occasionally somehow `` lose '' the signal for the clock and end up with the incorrect time . this atomic clock radio do catch the signal and do have the battery backup function . it be not a $ 50 or $ 100 radio , but do the job well . the only drawback have be the small switch which turn the alarm on and off . for the price , I would buy it again .

the auto-time set be a defect in disguise . we buy a older version of this clock in 2002 or so . it be hardwire to change the time -lrb- for Daylight Saving Time , DST -rrb- on the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October . spiffy ! the radio time feed from wwv provide Universal Coordinated Time -lrb- GMT -rrb- , with no signal indicate the time change , so the clock be design hardwire with a offset from that , change at fix date . then come the Energy Policy Act of 2005 , which `` change the change day '' to the second Sunday in March , and the first Sunday in November , start in 2007 . we older clock do not read the newspaper , so base on its old programming , it `` spring forward '' two week late and `` fall back '' a week early . that mean we have to change the time zone four time per year to keep it accurate -lrb- in we case from Pacific to Mountain time and back as need -rrb- . if you be absolutely sure congress will never ever ever change the DST date in the future , buy the clock , it be well make and accurate . if the manufacturer add a manual DST switch , or figure out some clever way to tell the clock when congress change the date , it be also good . BUT if congress meddle with the time change date again , and the 2012 change date be still hardwire in , you will probably angrily discard this `` automatic '' clock after a year or two of setting and reset it , and miss a appointment or two . then you will buy one of the manual set one , which might be off a few minute , but not a hour . it be a pity that we lord and master in Washington do not think about detail like this when they ignore the sun and tinker with the time . more afternoon golf time for they , while you kid wait for the morning school bus in the cold and dark .
