the Elgin Travel Alarm clock have several feature that I like . it be battery operate , which be convenient not only when travel but in case the electricity go out at home and you need a functional clock . it have a protective cover so the clock face will not get scratch during travel - say cover double as a stand for the clock . the clock not only show the time -lrb- you have a choice of a twelve hour or twenty-four hour format -rrb- , but the date -lrb- date and month , not include year or day of the week -rrb- . the number be easy to read , even for someone as nearsighted as I be . there be also a backlight that activate for approximately five seconds and then automatically shut off . there be also a alarm feature ; a snooze button -lrb- this shut off the alarm for five minute and then it automatically sound again -rrb- ; and a nap timer which you can set in fifteen minute increment for up to four hour of nap time . all of the alarm feature be loud , but not annoyingly so . unlike other reviewer , my clock have keep perfect time and have not gain any minute after over a month of usage . while I really like the Elgin Travel Alarm clock and use it all the time -lrb- even when not travel -rrb- , there be a couple of thing that I do not like about it . the button to unlock the mechanism to set the alarm , time , and calendar be all on one side and it be a bit tricky to use they . the snooze alarm and backlight be activate by the same button - you press the left side to activate the snooze alarm and the right side to activate the light - and on several occasion I have wake up in the middle of the night and go to activate the light to see what time it be only to inadvertently activate the snooze alarm instead . on those occasion I have have to turn on a light to figure out how to deactivate the snooze alarm -lrb- which be not all that easy to do . -rrb- also , you have to be very careful to make sure the door to the battery compartment be on tight . I accidentally knock the clock to the floor one night , dislodge the door , and the clock start make a grate beep noise until I figure out how to latch the door properly - not a fun thing at 3:00 in the morning ! all in all , I really like and get a lot of use out of the Elgin Travel Alarm clock .

I wish I could have shop for this kind of item in person so you could see how big , how bright , generally how it work . the light itself do not wake you . the beeping alarm -lrb- or radio -rrb- wake you . in no way should this product be advertise as `` a exciting new way to start the day . '' the total effect of this item be when you wake up to you alarm , there be a low watt bedside light on in you dark room . that be it . Ok , so you do not sense the light come on because it be gradual ... but the end result be not impressive . even at the peak of the `` sunrise , '' it do not light up the room or make you believe you be wake up to light . do not seem like the technology in this product be complex enough to warrant the price . I buy a timer for my bedside lamp for $ 5.99 at my local hardware and will see how it compare . on the plus side , shipping be speedy and it arrive ahead of schedule . I buy it through amazon.com so I could possibly read review and have some confidence about ease of return . Amazon 's list price , new , be $ 77 compare to the Soleil website 's listing of $ 165 , which be a laughable price point for what this be .

I can really only think of one reason that make this Timex Solar Powered Radio Controlled atomic Alark clock worth invest - the fact it be solar power which mean whenever the electric go out -lrb- which happen frequently in the summertime thanks to lightning storm activity -rrb- you do not have to worry about you wake up time be disrupt or delay - thanks to battery , the alarm will go off anyway . the radio be alright but nothing flashy or distinct , and the clock itself be so light that it can fall off the shelf easily . be careful when handle it .

I get this clock because the alarm sound be call chime , cathedral bell , and something else I can not recall , but it turn out they be all very annoying . I really want a zen clock that wake you up with a actual chime but could not afford it . I think this might be a nice replacement . I have be very disappointed . as other mention , the nature sound be way too loud and can not be adjust . I have not use that feature since the first week I buy it . I be now in the market for a new clock . the alarm sound be drive I crazy !

the design of the display be great , I like how you can go both back and forth through the sound , without have to cycle through they all , and it come with a lot of sound -lrb- though some I can not see anyone want to sleep to -rrb- . the date and time be easy to set . I do not use the alarm function , as I prefer to use my cell phone alarm , so I can not speak to the functionality of that . some other review have make comment about the shortness of the track before repeat , but it be not something I notice too much . I end up return it after two day . the biggest problem for I be this low hum that emanate from it through any sound , and I find it really distract , because I be listen to the buzz hum more than the sound -lrb- ebb Tide -rrb- . I look up some review , and find other people with the same issue , which apparently turn out to be a cheap power supply cause the speaker to vibrate inappropriately -lrb- or something , I do not exactly understand the concept -rrb- . Learning that , I realize it be a design flaw , and not my unit , so I drop the idea of just exchange it . the other problem I have with it , though by itself it be not enough to make I want to return it , be the lack of real volume control . you have loud , louder , loudest , blow you ear drum , and 11 . the lowest setting -lrb- 1 -rrb- be barely tolerable for I on most sound , and utterly unacceptable on other . have I decide to keep it , I would have relocate it to the other end of the room . I end up replace it with sound Oasis S-650-01 Sleep Sound therapy System I only just get it today , so I have no review of it yet , but I can tell you there be no annoying audio buzz . also , some store will price match with Amazon if you print out the page , so I actually get it for less than the Amazon price .

purchase the clock a few month ago , and after play with it for 30 min . figure out how to set the clock from 12 hr to 24 hr , alarm clock time , turn the alarm on\/off , and change the temperature from centigrade to farenheight and vice versa . also , the sd option under the setting that lool like : -- sd be where you adjust the display to stay on all the time vs. clap it on . ignore review that say it be not possible to constantly keep the screen display on . if they have take the time to figure it out instead of give bad review , they would have save themselves some grief . the cube clock measure approx . 3in x 3in x 3in . it be small , however after watch the price for a few day , I purchase it for $ 5 with a shipping cost of $ 3 or so . so , if you want it for a cheaper price be patient . if you want it then and now for cheap , that be you problem . the only downside I see with this product be more likely a manufacturer defect and user error . I buy some cheap alkaline battery for it -- since it be cheaper to buy it without the dc 6v charger -- and after a few day of use , the display be random and no longer display the time . take the battery out and reinsert they , a few hour later it do the same thing . I replace the battery with some non-alkalie , higher quality duracell after a few day without use . this seem to work for a day , however it have the same display issue the next day and be leak battery acid . the instruction it come with be Chinglish at best so I throw they out a while ago . however , the device be likely not compatable with alkaline battery , so I 'll take that as fault on my behalf . give this clock 4 star , for good design , it do function , price , and ease of use . it lose one star to the lack of readability of the instruction and the fact that I have to throw it out . however , I be already plan on buy the larger wooden led clock as a replacement . needless to say I would buy it again .

negative : it would be nice if the display would turn off . even on the lowest setting it light up the room . negative : the Oceanside sound loop too quickly . it be one wave over and over . you can actually hear where it start again and sound more like a skip record . I purchase it for this sound and think it would be of better quality . there be no attempt to even sound random or mixed . after a couple of night it be more like listen to a dog chew on itself . positive : I like the look and feel of the design . most of the other sound be pretty good but not the sound I really want to drift off into sleep with .

I have try live with this alarm clock for 4 month . I can not . in fact , I have just order a new alarm clock to replace it , because I can not stand it anymore . this be why : 1 . no radio . you have to wake up to its preprogrammed `` relaxing '' sound . 2 . many of the sound track be on a noticeable loop , especially the `` highway '' and `` wind chime '' one . 3 . the ambient light be SO bright , even when it be on the `` dimmer '' mode . it be so intense in a darkened room that I have to buy some tinted tape to put over the lead number , just so I could sleep at night . -lrb- I be one of those people that be highly sensitive to ambient light in my room at night . probably more so than other -rrb- . I also notice that the ambient light seep out of the seam of the plastic on the top and back . 4 . even on the quietest setting , it be still too loud for I to fall asleep to . I have to put duct tape over the speaker to make it quieter . 5 . once you set you sound and volume level to fall asleep to , you have to wake up to that sound level , too . for example , I may want to fall asleep to the gentle sound of `` rainforest '' on Level 1 -lrb- nice and gentle sound lull I to sleep -rrb- . well , my only choice be to wake up to a select sound on level 1 as well - which be WAY too quiet to rouse I from sleep ! the only other option be to select `` buzzer '' which I hate . -lrb- I do not do buzzer alarm - much too aggressive way to wake up . -rrb- in short , I do not recommend this clock as a alarm . it would be great in a office as a quiet background noise maker . but then , why would you pay $ 30 + for that , when you can buy something much cheaper that do the same thing ?? I wish I would have have the option to return it , but I do not buy it directly from sharper image ; and frankly , I be determine to enjoy this fancy alarm clock . one and only positive : very easy to set the clock time and alarm time . bottom line : not recommend .

I have some positive thing to say about this clock , but it have one `` glaring '' problem . I have have it less than a year , but my next trip will probably be the last I can squeeze out of it . I 'll be look to another brand to replace it . even fresh out of the box , the light be so weak as to be useless . in full dark , you can barely see the side of the screen . one of the most important feature in a travel alarm for I be to see what time it be in the middle of the night , without fumble for the hotel lamp . I be constantly replace travel alarm because the light burn out . this one be weak from the start and I believe it be go further downhill . as for warranty , the fee westclox charge for warranty service and shipping be greater than what I pay for the clock . that be say , if you can get over the light , this clock do well to correct some common travel alarm flaw : sturdy folding case will take reasonable abuse and drop . alarm set go to the left and time set to the right on a snug button - much harder to accidentally reset the time than on other model . alarm on\/off clearly indicate on screen , with a large icon . snug slider button for the alarm make it hard to accidentally turn it on -lrb- but you have to work to turn it off , too -rrb- . Easy to see if you time\/or alarm be in AM or PM . I just can not give it a higher rating when the light be so poor . \*\* note - the alarm be loud and increase in tempo if you do not shut it off right away . other in the room may be unhappy if you be a slow riser .

I find this Brookstone Alarm clock to do exactly what it be suppose to do with easy to understand , logical functionality , in a easy to look-at , no-nonsense design . the clock measure a space-efficient 6 '' w x 2-3\/4 '' d x 3 '' h , so it have a small footprint and rubber foot to help keep it in place on it surface , but this be all clock , with no waste space with `` gingerbread '' aesthestic ; the time be show in large 1 '' h x 3 ' w easy-to-view digital display , with a full-length snooze bar give you a extra 6 minute before the alarm sound again . it be very simple to set either of the two wake-up setting independently , change the several pleasant back-light brightness setting and turn-on or turn-off either of the two independent alarm . it have a battery back-up should there be a loss of ac power , so not to worry about reset the time or you alarm ; they will not be lose . it have a factory-set default time for the Eastern US , but be easily adjust to suit other time zone . it be not a a `` automatically correct atomic time-set '' clock and I do not care . the factory-installed battery be pre-set , and be user adjustable should the need arise . I really like the alarm on-off button , which be quite visible in the alarm-on -lrb- up -rrb- position , or descretely flush in the turned-off -lrb- down -rrb- position . I do not have to `` hunt '' for the button when I awake by the intelligently design progressive alarm . this clock be exactly what I want . no more , no less .

what I like best about the Elgin travel alarm clock be the large , blue back-lit display . the slide button to set the alarm and time be a little tricky to use because they tend to stick a little , but it be not enough of a problem for I to give it a lower rating . the exterior be hard plastic and I would have like it to feel a little sturdier , but it keep the weight and price down . all in all not a bad product .

constant hum that increase as the backlight setting be increase , but even at the lowest of the three backlight setting , the hum be too loud it do not vary with the volume setting . in any case , at my bedside at night , this be the last thing I need , as it prevent I from sleep I agree with other who write the audio loop be not of sufficient quality . it would cost the manufacturer only a bit more to install higher capacity memory circuit to provide more decent audio . Iregret have buy this product .

I have this same bird clock for many year . when it accidentally fall off my nightstand and break , I decide to buy the exact same clock since I be so pleased with it in the past . however , it be not the same , and not just in appearance . this one , though it look similar , be more cheaply make . compare in weight , it be must lighter and more `` plastic '' look . the case on my previous bird clock be a silver color , whereby this one be a dark gray lightweight plastic . to advance time or alarm time , you can not just hold the button down to scroll to the desire hour or minute . you now have to hit the button individually for each hour or minute desire . so the price have remain the same , but the quality have deteriorate .

the Insta-Set feature of these clock be a little misleading . they be not atomic clock . they do not recieve a external signal to set the clock automatically like a atomic clock . like any other digital clock these clock gain or lose a few seconds a year . they have to be set occasionally . Google `` reset equity insta-set clock '' for instruction . basically , you hold down the DST or Alarm Set button for five seconds . you can then set the hour , minute , month , day ... like other digital clock . the documentation never say specifically what Insta-Set mean . apparently be just mean the clock do not have to be reset after a power outage . it have a internal battery that hold the time until the main power come back on . other than this misleading name for the insta-set feature the clock I have work well . it be worth what it cost .

Hve not try it at wakeup but can tell by testing I would sleep right through it . and I be not a real heavy sleeper . alarm only sound for about 30-45 sec . I would return but already throw away packaging not anticipate this problem . do flash red during the wakeup sound but if you asleep I do not think that be a big deal !

this be suppose to be a `` sound soother '' , but at least half of the pre-programmed sound be annoy ! I purchase it for the white noise sound , but it be the most annoying setting of all . also the volume level only go down so far so that even the sound I like be too loud to be consider background noise -lrb- which be what I expect -rrb- .

the price be right on this clock . the size be perfect , especially when fold for packing and take with . it sit at a good angle when it be open , and the backlight be sufficient . the alarm tone be sufficient to wake you up be , of course , by personal opinion . it work for I , but it might not work for you if you be a heavy sleeper . I would also knock the battery choice ... coin type versus a aa or aaa . I worry how quickly that coin battery will die since I be a habitual `` 3 time snoozer . '' I order a card of 10 battery , so I would have plenty on hand just in case .

if you be a bird lover -lrb- and even if you be not , but just want a bit of `` back to nature '' in you urban world -rrb- , this alarm clock be for you ! it be easy to set , easy to read and yes , easy to snooze if need be . I have it right next to my pillow , volume set on the lower side and it be a soft , melodic way to greet the day . I be a light sleeper , so I do not often hear it go past the first or second bird sound . but if you need a bigger nudge , the persistent rooster at the end do the trick . it be annoying , actually , but be not that the point ? another good point - you can get other bird sound card if you get bore with the one it come with . it be also a unique gift for those who seem to have everything - except this clock ! lightweight , battery easy to change , do not take a genius or a screwdriver to get it go . highly recommend !

live in the country , we lose power a lot , so ac-powered alarm clock simply be not a option for I . I have use a Variety of 100 % battery operate alarm clock in the past , and this might be my favorite so far . its simple : a analog clock face that light up nicely -lrb- but not too brightly -rrb- when the button on the top be press . the alarm be easy to set , easy to turn on and off , and hard to sleep through . the tone be almost pleasant -lrb- at first -rrb- wake you up without a shock ... but it get steadily louder and faster so it be almost impossible to sleep through . I have not use it long enough to rate battery life , but power by 1 c battery it should last for a quite a while -lrb- my old clock run on two AAA 's and last almost a year - let 's face it , alarm clock be not exactly demand -rrb- . my only concern be that the unit be plastic . my cat like to hockey-puck thing off of my bedside table -lrb- especially if he want he breakfast , i.e. , almost every morning -rrb- . that be why my old clock be a metal clock -- the kind with the real bell inside . however , it be survive be knock to the ground several time so far with no visible damage , so despite a somewhat flimsy feel this clock be pretty sturdy .

I have have this alarm clock for several year .

I buy this clock because it be cheap , and realize the issue below : - do not have a indication on the main screen of what the alarm time be set to . you need to press a button and go back a forth to see that infomation . - beep everytime you press a button , so it disturb a partner if you be try to check the time during the night . - in the dark , very easy to screwup the time setting by press the wrong button -lrb- lower leave one -rrb- , that change the time zone . - do not have a easy to access light or alarm off button , to be access in the dark . I 'll have to be back shop for a better clock and spebd few more buck .

so it be a blank cube that look pretty good . then you tap it or clap you hand , and the time show up for 10 seconds , then it be blank again . inconvenient at night when you have someone sleep next to you for obvious reason . great present for annoying people who like to walk around clap they hand or singing song while you be try to watch the x-files , it 'll bring they hour of enjoyment . kinda boring , do not work as a excavator or a nuclear launchpad . seem cooler when i be buy it , but bonus point for be innovative and feng shuus .

for the money this little clock be a pretty good buy . the number be large and easy to read , the time and alarm be straightforward and easy to set , the alarm start out softly and get louder until you push the snooze or turn it off , and the dial light up at night nicely when you push the snooze button . it also unfold to create a stand for the clock . it be compact when fold for travel , but the cover be cheaply make . I be not sure how well it will hold up under abuse , I would feel compel to wrap it in a sock or something in a suitcase . all in all for the money it have everything I need for a travel alarm clock and it keep good time so far , too .

this alarm clock will give you everything you want in a alarm clock and skip the thing that make alarm clock a pain ! I think my old alarm be break so search far and wide for one I would like . before the Brookstone get here , I find that my old alarm be okay and I have inadvetantly set it incorrectly , thus the late wake-up . I be go to keep the Brookstone as a back-up ... until I try it . I be hooked and the old alarm be in a spare bedroom . what it have , be very easy to see and read display . as state in other review , you can choose the brightness . I like mine bright . it have two alarm setting and large raise button to click the alarm off and back on for the next morning . the snooze bar run across the entire width of the front of the clock so no mistake miss the snooze and hit the `` off '' . the alarm set time be on the screen so no mistake . what this model do not have be a radio . I do not want a radio . there be another Brookstone model if you prefer a radio with you alarm . this clock be a little pricey compare to many other model you can purchase , BUT , this be the one you want if you be tire of the tiny little button that clutter many of the other clock and the possibility of set the `` radio '' wake-up only to discover that the unit be not set on a channel and you awake , finally , to static . this be user friendly and straight on . the compartment for change setting be easy to get to -lrb- on the back of the clock -rrb- cover with a little panel , but there be no chance you will inadvertently mess you setting up . you have to easily remove the push style back plate to access the time zone and auto daylight save time setting . there be nothing about it that I do not like . I would give it to a friend and give my old clock to someone who be not so much my friend !!

this be a great little clock . I have have three , give away one `` new in the Box , '' or `` NIB , '' be order another to have on hand when the spirit move I to pass it on to someone . I be kind of a time freak , so I have get one in my bathroom , another in the family room , and a much larger `` atomic '' wall clock right over my pc . ok , its not atomic . it be digital , and it receive radio signal from a US station that tell it what time it be . you never need to set it . could not set it if you try . once you have feed it a aa battery , set it up accord to the instruction , and wait several hour some evening , it will display the exact time , to the minute . if you be willing to wait up to 59 seconds , you can get the exact time to the second , when the minute display role over to the next minute . yes , you can fold it up , pack it into you baggage , and set it up at you destination . BUT , if you travel take several day , and if you destination lodging have thick wall and few window , it may not pick up a signal . take it camping ... no problem unless it rain on it , or a bear eat it . and , it pretty much have to be in the USA , although I bet part of Canada , and maybe even northern Mexico , can pick up the signal , too . bad part ? the part that make I give it only four star ? set it up be a pita . yes , the instruction be indeed print right on the clock ... on the inside of the lid , which fold back to be the underside of the base . hard to read when you be set the clock use the button on the back of the clock , and watch the display on the front of the clock . also , everything require multiple button push of specific button ... one push too few , and you do not get what you want . one push too many , and you have to start over . try to set the clock while read the instruction off of the base be a loser . oh yes , you can set it up for 12 hour time , or for Navy time : right now it be `` 22:43 '' on `` MO 9.21 '' that be 10:43 pm on Monday , September 21st , for you land lubber . the url for the clock 's instruction be cleverly print right on the back of the clock . no , not the base , the back of the clock , right on the battery door . my suggestion be to go to this url : and decide if you be sufficiently endowed with the necessary button push skill . if so , PRINT OUT the instruction and then order the clock ! its a doozy ! as for battery , I would use a common nicad aa to set it up the first tim . when that die , or be die , put in a lithium cell . that way you will only have to set it once every couple of year .
