ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, excellent for low light
I have difficulty seeing most clocks at night due to poor vision. This clock is perfect for someone who has this problem. I can see it perfectly in a dark or low lighted room. Love it! I have recommended it to others and have purchased two.
If you are looking for a clock with a continuously-lighted dial, this is just about the only choice available anywhere. And fortunately, it is attractive, quiet, reasonably priced, and satisfactory in every way.
I got this as a gift last Christmas and love it. When a friend mentioned that he "hates the buzzer" on his alarm clock, I got him one. It is a great prescription for a gentle wake up process.
It's a large clock, the grey looks very nice. The bell sound is fairly loud but pleasant like an old-fashioned telephone. The face glows soft amber, it doesn't bother me like a glowing blue digital clock, but you can turn it off easily with a switch on the back if it does bother you. The "gentle light" that wakes you up is actually a bright, BLINKING light. Might make some people think of a christmas tree, at first I felt like I was waking up in a cheap hotel room... If I'm tired or facing the other way, the light alone does not completely wake me up, but it keeps me from being jarred out of a deep sleep. I wish I could set the light to come on, but NOT blink...would be great for dark mornings in northern lattitudes.
