Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a lover of "gadgets" I was really quite looking forward to this alarm clock. The remote weather sensor, the projection of the time onto a wall, the automatic sync'ing with the atomic clock, and the gradual alarm tone had me convinced that this clock should replace the trusty digital clock that had been at my bedside for a decade. The projection of the time on the wall works well for me and as it turns out, it's the only thing that kept me from returning this clock. I still can't get the remote weather sensor to transmit the temperature to the base. The gradual alarm is alright; it does what is advertised. I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't an option to continuously keep the main display lit its cool blue light. Actually, before they implement that, they need to eliminate the high pitch hum that is audible when the backlight is illuminated. All in all this is a neat gadget but a bit too pricey if you ask me unless you can get all of the features to work. 9 years later... I'm sold on this clock. It has lasted 9 years and hasn't failed me so I'm bumping my rating up to 4 stars. I hope they fixed the hum when the blue light illuminates as well as the weather feature (I never was able to get working). My wife and I feel lost at night when we are on vacation because the time isn't on the ceiling for us - we're believers if there is such a thing for a digital clock. ;) 10 years later... RIP... It was a good run old friend but the time has come to replace you. One of the numbers is no longer projecting on to the ceiling and the projected image itself has dimmed over the last 6 months or so. I'm disappointed (but not surprised) this clock is no longer offered by OS. Sadly, there are few suitable replacements at this time. As of Oct 2012, most if not all of the ceiling projection clocks by OS that don't resemble a PlaySkool toy are unavailable. Perhaps there is a supplier problem to their manufacturing unit or they discovered a fundamental design flaw they are currently correcting, who knows. We have a competing product in our motorhome that works but would hate to have in the house. The numbers are small and they cycle from the temperature to the time. As others have written in their reviews of that product, in the middle of the night I don't care what the temperature is I want to know what time it is and I don't want to have to wait for it. I was hoping to get a cool upgrade out of this but alas it looks like I will have to settle for something for now until OS restores their product line.
