Works as advertised [Posted on 2008-03-07]
This is the best travel alarm clock for the price. I got it for the "all night light" feature and the date display. The alarm does the job, and when folded closed the display is protected. A somewhat less useful feature is a "flashlight" on the back using the green display LED. The button arrangement makes this awkward at best. Also, when the backlight is on, the display becomes impossible to read at the slightest downward angle. (such as sitting on a nightstand a bit higher than the bed.) Last gripe: the alarm and backlight go on with the same switch, so you can't have one on without the other. Still, this is half the price of similar models, and they don't offer the "all night light".
Not good quality [Posted on 2008-04-06]
Every time I travel, which is weekly, the clock needs to be reset. Evidently, it does not like the rigors of being in a suitcase.
Compact, but a bit flimsy [Posted on 2008-04-08]
This alarm clock is very compact and will pack well. I have some concerns about the durability of the flip out part, though. The light feature is nice because it is very easy to tell if the alarm is set, either the light is on (set) or it isn't on (not set). I also like that it is easy to switch to a 24 hour day. The batteries are potentially rechargeable (AAA), so if they get low while travelling I can just pop them in the charger. Overall, I think it is a good, cheap travel alarm clock.
can't expect much from a cheap alarm clock [Posted on 2008-05-11]
cheap is good. it works but the display has to be put on and inverted angle to be able to read it.
I had to return the first one because it couldn't be set. couldn't set the time, date or anything.
try another one before getting this one.
don't waste $$$ on this junk!!! [Posted on 2008-06-09]
I got this alarm clock from Amazon in Feb 08 for $9.99. It started to display non-sense time and date (symbols which don't look like digits) in June 08. I tried resetting it, but it went back to the non-sense display immediately. Taking out the batteries doesn't help - now this clock will beep annoyingly, with the display lit, with no way to turn it off unless the batteries are removed again. And it's impossible to see any digits on the display. What a waste of money!
