Bright, big time display and perfect size for a nightstand

I really like the increasing volume feature of it as you take longer to turn-off the alarm, helps motivate me to get up.Not sure I care for the snooze only being 9 minutes instead of 10, a little weird.Stayed nice and bright for most of its life until I moved and jostled it around a bit while moving. At my new residence (after 5-6 years of owning this clock) I noticed a couple of the light segments for the second digit of the hour went dim. Then setting it to the dimmer two brightness settings made the display turn off entirely. Eventually even just trying to adjust the alarm time makes the display disappear as well, until it goes back to displaying current time. Really wish I could fix it but have decided it might just be better to get a new one.It was nice while it lasted (almost 6 years).

I had an older version of this clock for probably 10 years, and my favorite feature was the automatic dimming lights. When the clock finally bit the dust I tried other clocks to no avail, because they were all way too bright for me at night. I decided to search Google and see if I could find my previous alarm clock style, and I did! So far it is working great and dims automatically when the lights go out just like I need it to. Only annoyance is I can't figure out how to change the time zone on it, but no matter, the time can be changed manually and stays where you put it even after a power outage. Overall it's great!

If you are looking for a clock for your night stand, desk, dresser, et al....then look no further! I purchased this clock because my former alarm clock had sounded off for the final time. I purchased this model because it was modestly priced, it had a back-up battery, and a USB port. The night light and the Bluetooth were added bonuses.The clock's display is bright and easy to read even from across the room. The clock has an auto-dim feature that brightens and dims the display based upon the amount of light in the room. This is a great feature for those who like to sleep in complete darkness; and when you turn on lights or open the blinds it adjusts accordingly making the display always easy to read.The USB port, radio, and Bluetooth work as expected. In addition, the Bluetooth was easy to set up. The volume of the Bluetooth speaker and radio are enough to satisfy a standard sized bedroom. It does not have the volume of a BeatsPill, Bose, Sonos or JBL speaker to fill a room, but again it does a satisfactory job. The night light is a nice feature as well and it has two brightness settings; and the night light DOES NOT impact the auto dimming of the display.The only knock on this clock is the alarm! The alarm is very, very faint. If you are a heavy or deep sleeper then you will likely sleep right through the alarm. But, if you ARE NOT using the clock for this purpose then this clock is a solid buy.

The automatic dim / brightness and the gradual wake / progressive sound alarm functions work great. You can easily read the clock in bright light and it dims automatically to a very low brightness in the dark. Instructions were easy enough to follow. FM radio tuned into many stations even in our rural area. 2 levels of night light (plus off) work well. Auto setting of time was an added bonus. If this had programmable snooze time, it would be the perfect clock radio. It has aux plug in for music players but no bluetooth. USB but no wireless charging.
