Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's a bargain at $20 including shipping, and i liked that it had a large display that could be dimmed if necessary. The adjustable dimmer dial is very nice to have, since most digital clocks have only a toggle for dim and bright. The numbers are big ... Read More

Only thing i did not like is that it does not hold (as it is supposed to) the settings in case of power outage. The controls are a little tricky, but all in all, it's a good clock for the price! Display is a knock-out.

It takes up very little space on my night stand. Good vertical size for bedsize use.

If you stop and think about this, this is purposeful. I know how it is when ur just getting up.

Cons

If the third round does not work i want my money refunded to my credit card. Something about the construction of this clock causes vibrations which produces a faint buzzing or rattling sound. Sony's green led display is too dim for a sunlit room.
