Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Elgin Electric Alarm Clock with Selectable Display Color

Customer Review: NOT FOR SNOOZERS
Summary: 2 Stars

Things I wish I had known about this product before purchase:

- VERY BRIGHT!! It is so bright that I have to cover it at night! Would be great in a baby's room as a night light/clock

- NOT FOR SNOOZERS!! The alarm will allow you to snooze 2 times and then it is just re-set for the next day. I have to be extra cautious and get up right away so I don't keep sleeping!!

If these two things don't affect you, then it's an otherwise nice little clock. It's super small, the numbers can change to several different colors. I experimented and purple seems the least bright. Not bad for the price!

Customer Review: Very nice clock but not good for heavy sleepers
Summary: 4 Stars

Overall, I like this clock very much. It is attractive, extremely compact, taking up little space on the nightstand, but has a nice big display with day and date. Also, the choice of colors for the display is a fun feature (you can coordinate with your decor). The only problem I have with it is the alarm. It only allows you two five minute snoozes. After that you're out of luck. And if you don't wake up and hit the snooze in 60 seconds, it gives up on you and resets to the next day. Not good for heavy sleepers! For those days when I absolutely have to get up earlier than usual I have an annoyingly loud backup clock I use.

Customer Review: My Review
Summary: 3 Stars

Over all it is a pretty nice alarm clock. The Display is hard to read at an angle. The display becomes too hard to read when I lay in my bed. The alarm wakes me up and I like how it displays the Date and current day of the week as well. It also displays the seconds which makes time feel a a little more animated rather than staring at a clock that only changes each minute. It's pretty cool that it can change the display light into 6 possible color, but I got this alarm clock because I was interested in the color blue displayed in the picture. It is a pretty small alarm clock. I was pretty surprised when I got it.

Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars

People are complaining about size. I don't now about you, but I want something that isn't going to take up my whole night table! It's the perfect size for me. Loud enough to wake me. Just press the top down to snooze, you don't need to open the top. Buttons are very easy to handle and figure out. Also displays the date, which I find to be a plus. I like it very much. I suggest it for someone younger because they can change the colors as much as they like, and it will get them up in the morning. It's a good alarm clock for anybody, but if you're a crazy heavy sleeper, maybe you need something louder.

Customer Review: Rhobust Dynamo
Summary: 4 Stars

The different colors for the display are beautiful. I took this clock apart and wired it to ring a 95 decimal fire bell when the alarm goes off. I have to admit I am impressed that the clock still works even after all my wiring mistakes. Now I have myself a good clock with a lowd alarm to wake me up. If I could change anything about it I'd like a programmable alarm duration and a programmable snooze feature. However, all things considered for the price I am happy with it. The buttons on top of the clock sometimes have to be pressed three times before it changes the display.
