Well I had high hopes for his clock but I am a little disappointed. The first clock I received was broken (the bell didn't work), the second clock was also broken. I gave it one more try and the third clock I think works. The blinking light part works but I can't get the bell to work when testing the clock, although it did work when I let the clock get to the alarm time on its own. I am not sure how the blinking light will wake me up especially if I am not facing the clock and my eyes are closed, but I will give it a shot. Lastly, the alarm is very, very, very loud. If I don't have a heart attack, I will be happy. So this clock might go back but I want to test it for a couple of weeks to see if I can get used to it. If I return this I might try the Big Ben instead.
Bought clock for use as meeting/appointment reminder alarm in an office cubicle. Audible alarm in that environment not good because of disturbing others. Can set this clock to ONLY flash the light for the alarm. Do wish that a product just for such purpose could be made and sell for less than this one. But this clock does exactly what I needed it to.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, very retro looking
I love the clock. Unfortunately I received the wrong color. I had ordered the light green and I received a vanilla. The box had two different colors. One sticker was listed as "light green" and the other was "vanilla". Be aware that the boxes may have more than one color description. Other than that I am very happy with the clock.
I knew this clock would look great in our mid-century house and it does. It's easy to read without my glasses. The feature I like best is you can turn the dial back light on or off, so you can read the time at night, or not, as you wish. Sometimes you would rather not know what time it is.
