I really love, LOVE my Moonbeam clock. It looks so pretty on my bedside table. Plus it has some really nice features. I had been eyeing it for some time, but since I just redecorated my bedroom, I gave myself permission to buy it. I'm so glad I did.
Out of the box my clock worked fine and I like the very gentle night glow of the dial. Just right. All functions work and it is large enough to see from the other side of the bed. The directions say to only adjust the time and alarm hands in the direction indicated-no big deal- so those that complain about the thing not working right probibly did not read the simple instructions. I am thingkin about ordering another for the guest room.
After searching quite a while for a clock with a backlit dial, we were delighted to find this handsome bedside clock. Alas, a clock we can both easily see any time during the night. We don't use the alarm but all the features seem to work just fine. Really like the battery backup feature too. A fine purchase.
