She doesn’t feel like she needs to buy a radio or stereo anymore she just uses the clock.” Another customer, who bought this alarm clock specifically to use as a speaker, is also pleased with its easy-to-read screen and projector: “The actual clock screen is able to be seen by me (a wearer of glasses) from where I lay about eight feet away, and I aimed the projector across the room near the ceiling, which is about 20 feet, and I can see it perfectly. One customer bought this for their daughter’s new apartment and was surprised “at the excellent sound quality from the speakers when we put on the radio and when she plugged in her mp3 player with an aux cord. The multifunctional dial on top can be used to adjust brightness all the way down to nothing,” they add.ĭozens of five-star reviewers love that this alarm clock’s built-in audio input allows it to do double duty as a speaker via an auxiliary cord. Even so, “the numbers are large and very readable. One reviewer, who calls it a “feature-packed package,” especially likes that this clock offers two separate alarms to set and that it has a small footprint. That allowed me to sleep without being concerned that the phone battery might die during the night.” But the USB ports aren’t the only nice thing about this alarm clock. “Instead of having to move my charger from where I prefer to keep it and set it up next to my bed,” he says, “I just plugged the phone in to the clock. “I wanted something that was more of a one-stop function for my bedside,” begins one such reviewer, who purchased two “unfortunate” alarm clocks before finding “the USCCE answer to my prayers! Being able to plug in and charge my phone or Kindle as needed leaves more room on my nightstand.” Another pleased customer didn’t expect to use the USB charging ports, but he found them helpful when anticipating some important middle-of-the-night calls. Nearly 71 percent of reviewers give this alarm clock five stars, including nearly 500 who praise its dual USB ports. One even says “it fits on my mini clamp-on side table just fine with room for my Kindle and tablet, phone and other small items.” It also comes with two USB ports and the sound is adjustable, which one reviewer, who bought this for their daughter who “jump scares” easily, appreciates: “She has it on low and that doesn’t startle her awake but instead is gentle enough to be a pleasant way to awaken.”

One reviewer says their daughter “changes the color multiple times every day - super fun and unexpected.” In addition to the night light, reviewers like how compact this light is. One parent, who bought this for their seven-year-old, says, “It stays on long enough for him to fall asleep and if he wakes in the middle of the night he can easily turn the light back on.” It’s a hit with another reviewer, who keeps it in a guest room: “The night light feature is so helpful for guests to move around in an unfamiliar house at night.” Users can also choose between seven colors for the night light, depending on your mood or decor, which dozens admit is cool.

I LOVE IT.” They describe the sound as “effective but not jarring,” and add that they “like the nice solid and satisfying click of the button when you set the time.”Ībout a quarter of reviewers love this alarm clock because of its built-in night light that’s both very bright and shifts colors. Another says, “I expected this clock to be okay, based on the reviews, but it is so MUCH better. And, while basic, customers like that that clock includes “a bright night light at the top for reading in bed.” This beep’s job is to awaken, not comfort, and reviewers note that it is not a pleasant, soft tune: “Alarm is loud even on low and an awful sound,” says one. As one puts it, “If, like me, you like the alarm right by your bedside, the dimmer allows you to set the brightness to your comfort level - all the way from exceedingly bright to exceedingly dim.” “ou can even make the display go completely dark,” adds another. Reviewers also say the dimmer is especially effective. “What I like about the clock are the large numbers, so very easy to read” writes a typical reviewer, echoing hundreds of similar declarations. There are nearly 12,000 verified five-star fans of this simple, effective electric alarm clock with battery back-up on Amazon.
