You Get a Lot for Such a Small Clock
This is a simple alarm clock that is great for travel or if you don't have much room on your night stand and want a simple alarm clock. It would also be great for a backup alarm clock if you really need to be sure you will be awakened.
Size and Ease of Use: This is small but easy to use when setting the alarm and time. The product description says it is 4.5 x 3.9 x 2.5 inches which seems right. It takes up very little space.
The buttons to set the time and alarm are big enough to use without a problem. I have large hands and I had no problem setting the time and alarm as well as the night light switch and the snooze button.
LED Display: The LED display is easy to see. The numbers are a lttile more than half an inch high. The light is green and easy to see in a dark room without being too bright. There is no feature that allows you to lower or raise the brightness of the numbers.
Alarm and Snooze: The alarm is surprisingly loud for such a small alarm. It has the beeping sound heard on many alarm clocks. The snooze feature allows you get 5 more minutes of sleep before the alarm rings again. There is a nightlight feature which, when turned on, lights the the snooze button. The light seems a yellow/orange and adds a small amount of light to a dark room.
Quality/Other Features: The alarm clock is plastic. It is what you would expect for the price. There is a battery backup which takes a 9-volt battery in case there is a power outage or if the plug comes out. The digital display does not work in these cases but the alarm function will stay in the clock's memory and according to the instructions the alarm will still ring as long as long as the battery is not used up. ( I have not used the battery backup feature for more than a minute to see if it works so I don't know how long the alarm feature works if the power goes out for an extended period of time.)
Overall: There is a lot to this small alarm clock. I am impressed with the ease of use for such a small clock and the battery backup is a nice feature for such a small and inexpensive alarm clock.
