Digital Dual Alarm Clock Radio - 0-100% Dimmer with Weekday/Weekend Mode, 6 Sounds Adjustable Volume, FM Radio w/Sleep Timer, Snooze, 2 USB Charging Ports, Thermometer, Battery Backup

I had a digital alarm clock for forever, but then it finally bit the dust. I went on a long journey searching for a good alarm clock that met my needs in my price range. First, I really wanted an alarm clock with a radio, brightness control (knob preferred), date, military time (24HR Format), and more. I had previously ordered 3 other alarm clocks that didn't suffice. With my past clocks, I had the issues of: lowest level of brightness is still too bright, buttons no longer functioning, radio volume control dying, etc. So I had some experience in looking for clocks. Then I came across this clock. I've had this clock for 8 months, and there are absolutely no issues to report (minor ones mentioned below). At first, I was worried about the small size, but that doesn't matter much when you think about the features. I will provide an overview of the quality of the clock's major functions and a general look at the clock itself. BRIGHTNESS CONTROL: 9 / 10 Amazing. It was able to go lower than most of the other clocks I've had before. In fact, I've never had to raise a clock brightness because the lowest level was too hard to see! I would've given it a 10 out of 10, but on the other hand, it doesn't go quite as bright as I would've hoped. Still, it's bright enough. RADIO: 7 / 10 Pretty Good. Does a good job catching a radio signal, and it works as a radio does. The rotating knob is very helpful, as I can switch stations much faster and it makes it much less frustrating than pressing a button multiple times. The speaker quality is good enough for regular listening purposes, and is good considering the size of the clock. On the other hand, I was disappointed that it doesn't have station presets. Luckily, the knob helps with changing stations quickly, so there is not much difference. ALARMS: 9 / 10 Great. It comes with the standard ALARM 1 & 2. The weekday/weekend function is very nice to have, and works as it should. I was very pleased that those options were available on both alarms with an easy-to-access sliding switch. The alarm tunes are good as well. I use the old fashioned phone ring most of the time, but I've used the others on other occasions. I very much appreciate the gradual volume rise that the alarm offers, and I don't think I could ever go back. It works so that the lowest possible volume is used to wake you up, and that if you don't stop it, it will go higher, therefore, annoying you. The snooze function is well thought out, as pushing the big knob starts it. However, the responsiveness of the button for snooze isn't always consistent. Sometimes it takes 1 or 2 more clicks before it stops. Nonetheless, it is not a big issue, and that doesn't bother me. BATTERY BACKUP: 10 / 10 Perfect. It works exactly as it says it should. I was happy that after unplugging it, for a number of different purposes, the time did not deviate, and that I could still view the time if I wanted while it was unplugged. I have no cons for this function. FINAL OVERVIEW 9 / 10 Great! The clock keeps time well, has a sturdy construction, and all of its functions work as described. I didn't think that I needed to see a temperature on the clock, but I found it useful from time to time. The USB ports that come with it work well, and it is always useful to have some of those! It might be a concern for most people that it is hard to read the clock with so much information on the screen, but I have had no difficulty. I've peeked in my room to see the time, even through a closet, and I could easily see the time. There is a difficulty, however, in viewing the time from below the clock's level. If your viewing point is lower than the clock (if you are looking up to see the time) you might have trouble reading it well. Although, I imagine that won't be a big issue for most people. The knob works great, and I probably won't go back to a clock without one. However, the knob feels like it was made from cheap materials and is mildly flimsy. However, that doesn't affect its function. I did have concerns for the knob for the brightness level, which has a very mechanical feel to it, but after changing the brightness day and night for 8 months, it doesn't seem to affect its function at all. Also, the screen can be easily scratched, so take care to protect it from any contact with objects. I would very much recommend this clock to anyone, and it has become one of my favorite clocks I've had over time. Below is a simplified pro/con list. Pros: Excellent execution of all major functions. Multiple functions packed into a tiny clock. Battery backup functions well, in case of a power outage. Rotating knob works well to make life easier when setting time, changing stations, etc. Brightness control for a dark room at night and appropriate brightness during the day. USB Ports for helpful charging. Cons: Hard to view from below; not great from all viewing angles. Cheap-feeling rotating knob. Worrisome feel for the brightness control. Small size.

I did a lot of reading of reviews and features when I was looking for a new alarm clock as my 20 year old clock would no longer let me change the minutes on my alarm. I wanted an alarm clock that had an fm radio, that was powered by plugging it in, and had usb ports. This fit all of those requirements and had good reviews. Some reviewers said it was not the easiest to set up and for the most part I would disagree. It was incredibly easy to set the time and alarms. When I wanted to find a radio station to wake up to was when I had more difficulty. I used the mode where it would automatically find stations. It finds the first 30 stations (some of which are pretty much static) and then stops (where I'm at meant it stopped before 100) I wanted to wake up to 107.9. There was a part in the directions about how to manually set the radio but that meant I had to take the batteries out and unplug it in order to manually set the radio. I wish I had read that part first because that meant I had to reset the clock and alarm! I feel like there could be a better way to switch between automatic and manual searching for a station. I also wish that you could set more than 1 station when you do it manually. But that wouldn't stop me from recommending this clock. I appreciate that you set a volume for your alarm and it starts out quieter than that and increases the volume. It does this pretty quickly (I would say it increases to maximum volume within 15 seconds). I like the other options for the alarm besides the radio and beeps. This clock is VERY bright but there is a dimmer dial. I do turn it down pretty low at night as I like it really dark. But makes it hard to read at other parts of the day. There is no automatic adjustment for the light level in the room but that wasn't one of my requirements when looking for a clock. Perhaps I should have looked for that because I cannot read this clock across the room during the day when I have it set at the dimness level I like it at night. I probably should have gone with an alternative color (my previous clock had been green) such as green or red to help combat the brightness. Overall I'm satisfied with this clock. The alarm has gone off each morning. I will test out using the second alarm tonight so hopefully all goes well.

This clock has many great features. I really like being able to set the brightness level and the fact that the clock is small but the numbers are large. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and in large enough print that I didn't need a magnifying glass to read them. There is battery backup in case of a power outage. You have several options for the alarm tone or you can wake to the radio. One of my favorite thing is the dial you use to set the time. Instead of pushing a button numerous times (and many more if you accidentally go past the target number) you just turn the dial either way. I would have given this five stars but for a couple of things. The button you push to turn off the alarm is right next to several other buttons of the same size and shape (would like it to be larger or in a different place). The second issue was the FM radio. If you select the auto tune the clock picks the first 30 stations that come in clearly - in my case it didn't get to my 3 favorites. I didn't want to do manual tuning because you only get to select one station. I finally ran auto tune in an area that didn't get as good reception and it picked up two of my favorites. You could probably do the same thing by bunching up the antenna as long as your favorite stations have a strong signal.

I only purchased this because I read all the good reviews. My much larger clock radio of many years finally bit the dust and I'm thrilled with this replacement. Yes, it is very small but such an improvement over what I thought was a pretty good previous device . We always wake to the radio and I sometimes had reception problems with my previous clock/radio. Couldn't believe that the station I always use came in clear as a bell having just stretched out the little cord antenna from its wound up position in the box. I was concerned about this because I was always having to adjust the antenna from my previous clock/radio to get decent reception. Everything is so simple to do on this little goodie ... yes one needs to check the instructions and follow them in the beginning but all is very clearly explained and apparently there is an instruction video from what it shows in the instruction booklet if one wants to check this out ... I didn't. For daytime this radio can be very bright and clear or dimmed as much as desired for night time by winding up or down the little dimmer switch in back. Like so many, I also love that this little device takes up so little room on my night stand, has two alarms that can be set, and it's so easy to set the time and alarms once one checks out the instructions. My only concern would be that the display might go missing parts as was the experienc of around 3 of the reviewers, but the Company sounds great and I think they all got replacements. I think I read that it's at least a year that the Co. will replace a defective product and it might be longer but, hopefully, a problem would show up in that time frame and the Company sounds from the reviewers to be very responsive. Lots of reviews to wade through on this little "guy" and most, like me, are very pleased with this relatively inexpensive clock/radio. If you're on a budget like a lot of us, I'd say go for it as I think this is a great bang for your buck!

I am old enough to have used wind ups, electrics with dials, electrics with little number cards that flipped, (remember those?), LED numerals, clock radios, and just telling myself to wake up at 7. This is hands down the best alarm system ever. I say system because of the array of choices. Sleep options, sound options, snooze options, info on the clock face, plus USB ports and a headphone jack. My favorite option is the dual alarm with weekday, weekend and 7 day modes. I use weekday for the M-F grind/morning get-up. I only use weekend mode when forced to, for a special function. My special favorite is the 7 day mode, reserved for naps any day, any time of the week. I turn it on when needed. (Push one top button.) To reset the time I want to wake up literally takes seconds. My favorite sound option is the quiet little bird chirping. I am a super light sleeper, so it only wakes me. However, there are multiple options from buzzer to beeper to sound effects to the radio coming on tuned to your favorite station. Then there is the dial light with the 0-100% dimmable function. Dial up to full in the daytime for visibility, dial all the way off at night because I like it dark. If needed I can gradually turn it up just enough to check the time, or way up as a night light to stumble out for a calling kid. Set up was easy for everything, with the picture-labeled buttons on top for easy access, change time with the big top dial that moves either way (and is also the snooze button) and only the dual alarm function switch on the back. Oh, and it is always colder/hotter in our bedroom than the rest of the house, depending on the season, and with the thermometer, I can now see how much. (Yikes -10 degrees!) I mean, the only thing this clock does not do is start the Keurig. (May have to suggest that upgrade to uscce.) Great clock! Buy it!

Very nice alarm clock radio. Can wake up to radio, buzzing, bird chirping or soft music. True battery back up system. The clock is smaller, if you need to pack in a suitcase etc. Very easy to use. Also has 2 front USB ports for charging phones etc. Highly recommend!

I liked this clock radio a lot, especially that its reasonable price and its USB port, except for two issues: 1) The controls are unique and not necessarily intuitive. Definitely keep the instructions. 2) It only lasted ~2 1/3 years. I'm used to clock radio lasting years and years. It just broke and I'm not buying another.

This works great, the dual alarm is nice. It is easy to set up and I am happy with the giant snooze button on top, which also functions as the radio tuning dial. I like the size and that it has backup battery capacity. The brightness is adjustable and it is very nice for when you need the alarm but not a glowing light in the room. The customer service was exceptional when I reached out to them. I recommend this over other alarm clocks because it is affordable and reminiscent of my old school alarm clocks that I could tune myself to find each station. I use it for my elementary school aged kid who likes independence but still needs reminders for time, but can also use it as a radio to listen to music without a phone or tablet screen.

Después de 2 meses el display perdio intensidad. Casi no se ve.

The story: received the clock in February and was very happy with the design and quality. Particularly the large, dimmable display and also the clear sound and reception on the radio (we live at the base of a large escarpment, so this has always been a problem). Then two and a half months later, the device started to glitch out on its own. I deduced (I have some electronic test gear) that it must be the inside solder joint at the power jack. I emailed the service support from the brochure for help to fix and they immediately, and cheerfully explained that they would send me a new unit, no need to return anything. And that if had any more problems with the device in the future, to contact them again. Three days later, a new unit arrived and it worked fine... for three days. Then it was the same story. Completely stopped working. So, as they suggested, I contacted them again --- this time for a full refund. It's a nice design -- it just needs to work. Still, they deserve a star for not fighting about a refund after the second unit failed too. UPDATE: August 2022 Shortly after the second unit died, and I promptly received a full refund, the company contacted me with the news that they had found the power supply problem and corrected it. Then they sent me one of these revised units and it's been running solid and well for a few months now. I like the units compact size (my night stand has a lot of stuff on it!) and good clear numerals, AND -- even though it means a small external wire antenna, this radio is the only one I could find that picks up my favourite station clear as a bell. (I love at the bottom of a large ridge which makes reception very tricky). I have to say that the company's prompt, polite and persistent customer service really blew me away. Courteous, interested in my feedback, and they did not rest until I was fully happy with the product. I definitely would buy from or recommend this company to other buyers. Service like this with online purchasing is (in my experience) very exemplary and worthy of continued support.

Bit fiddly to set-up but doable. Power adaptor has a two pin US plug and no adaptor, very irritating.
