 Great lil'alarm clock! August 5, 2010
TigresSKS (Philadelphia, PA)
I got one of these for college. It came with me around Europe and back again and 10 years later (I think I replaced the battery twice during that time) the snooze/light button finally broke (it still works as a clock!).
I did some research, thinking that there must be a slightly more technologically advanced alarm clock that I would prefer; however, in the end weighing increased cost and mediocre reviews I decided to go with the alarm clock I knew and could trust. I love that I can fold it up and put it in my suitcase without worrying it'll break and that it's so easy to set (though perhaps it might be nice if you could go up and down instead of just up when changing the setting) and to use. I hope this one lasts another 10 years!

I really like this little clock! It folds up flat, goes anywhere, easy to use and emits a distinct beeping sound for the alarm which is loud enough to wake you yet not totally obnoxious. Love it!

The clock is small, sleek and made by a reputable company. The only disappointment is the backlighting to view the clock in the dark. It is so dim you can barely read the time. From all of the other reviews I read before purchase, everyone seemed to have a favorable opinion of its funtion and long-lasting battery. I hope that is true as I have not used it yet.
Solid, solid product. June 2, 2010

I've had one of these for about 16 years. The same one. In daily use as an alarm clock at home, as well as going with me when I travel. It's durable enough I often put it in checked luggage. Some of the writing around the buttons is starting to rub off finally. About a decade ago I dropped it in a parking lot (with the case open) and one of the two little plastic ratchet tabs that holds it open or closed broke. The other one has held it open or closed fine ever since. The alarm sound is quite nice, pleasant to wake up to but (importantly) loud enough to wake up to. It keeps very accurate time, much better than a far more expensive one I won about 5 years ago. The backlight starts to get dim and the alarm sound weak when the battery gets low, but that's not often. I replace the battery every 5 years or so, fairly common watch battery and easy to find. You'll get plenty of warning before it winds up running so low it won't alarm, so it's very trustworthy to rely on when you need to be up. If mine ever does die I'm glad to see they're still available.
Simple and easy to use May 31, 2010

Nice, uncomplicated, functional travel alarm clock. First of all, the package was EASY to open -- doesn't require a hacksaw and axe, like most packages do these days. Secondly, the instructions were written in CLEAR ENGLISH -- not weird unintelligible international symbols and directions in ten different languages with the English being butchered beyond comprehension. And thirdly, the clock is simple to set up and operate. Very user-friendly. Does what it says it's going to do. Alarm starts off softly then gets more frantic as seconds tick by and you haven't turned it off -- perfect for my waking-up habits. It's the right size -- very compact -- has a nice big display, big snooze button -- all in all, about as perfect as a product can be.
