It looks really nice. I wanted it for a long time, lured by the description of being gently awakened by a beam of light. The light is more like an emergency vehicle pulling up. It blinks on and off very rudely and is plenty bright. I would have preferred and thought I would get a gentle light that would stream across my space. It would be nice if the light setting were adjustable. It's true that the clock does tick rather loudly also, but it's a pleasant tick. It went out of my bedroom and became my kitchen clock. It looks nice and I've gotten compliments on it. After perhaps 8 or so years the minute hand stopped moving and it would no longer keep time. I tried taking it apart in an attempt to fix it but it's pretty well put together and no simple matter. It was time for a new kitchen clock so into the garbage it went!
I have had my Moonbeam clock for about 10 years and am happy with it. My 92 year old father was complaining that he sleeps through alarm clocks because he is hard of hearing, and has his hearing aids out at night. I bought him a Moon beam clock. He had no trouble setting the alarm. He called me this am, quite pleased that the Moonbeam clock alarm awakened him easily this morning, My 85 year old mother had been skeptical that any alarm clock could awaken my father. Now, she plans to order one for herself, as she is also hard of hearing. Thank you LLBean for selling a clock that is easy to use, and that works for those with hearing loss.
Love the style of this clock and the ambiant light it puts off, but you can hear it ticking at night. It was a light ticking sound, but I have to have quite, so I had to return the clock :(
This is my 3rd moonbeam alarm clock. Unfortunately the "new" model doesn't have the option to awaken with just the light, only light + alarm or alarm. Some of us don't need bells, just the light. Why change a good thing? Loved the option to awaken gently.
