A simple basic alarm clock, this arrived in a plain brown box protected in a bubble wrap sleeve along with the instructions, my daughter normally uses her phone as an alarm in the mornings to get up for school but more than a few times she has forgotten to put it on charge or left it in her coat so I thought this would be an ideal replacement.
The instructions are good clear print and are easy enough to follow so as you understand and are able to set up the clock along with alarm either setting it to a 12 or 24 hour display, enable or disable the snooze function, dim the display or even stop the flashing of the dots on the display.
I set it up to give it a full test, it takes four AA batteries (not supplied) which are easy enough to fit with a slide off cover, the setting of the time and alarm are also very simple and you can move the digit rapidly by holding down the button or slowly with single presses along with enabling or disabling the snooze function.
The snooze function works well repeating up to three times every seven minutes, the alarm has an increasing volume around every twenty seconds but the alarm stops automatically after one minute if not turned off or set to snooze which may be an issue for a very heavy sleeper.
My daughter really likes the clock and the alarm is loud enough to wake her up without problem, the display is good and clear and has a switch on the back to lower the brightness although it is only a minimal adjustment and would have been better with an adjustment wheel in my opinion.
Overall this is a very simple battery operated alarm clock that is easy to set up, has a good clear display, ideal for waking you in the mornings, I would have liked to see a more adjustable option for dimming the display and as the alarm only lasts for one minute increasing in volume then shuts off even if not stopped I would not think it suitable for a very heavy sleeper.
