Westclox Retro Wood Style Small Night Table Alarm Clock with Red LED Display, 9-Minute Snooze, Battery Backup, Easy Electric Operation for Bedroom, Home or Office – Woodgrain

I had the previous version that lasted at least 27 years. How I wish I bought 2 at the time. This one is similar, but there was nothing like the original. The knobs are bigger on top. My first one, the on and off switch broke, but I was still able to slide it. I hope this one is the same. I am trying to be careful, but with plastic, you never know. After my Original one broke for good, I had a temporary replacement that I hated. It was overly bright and did not have a Snooze button....No Snooze Button !!!....Forget it. I could not wait to get this one. It is not as Bright as the last one with no Snooze button, but I guess they are all that way now, brighter. But it is good for me because I can see the time without my glasses on. I miss the Original Alarm. This one is annoying with the different beeps, but, it gets me up eventually within 1/2 hour...does the job so far. It is well packaged with screw on feet attached to the box...amazing...I do hope it lasts a long time because it is very affordable and the last one was so reliable.

First off this clock is not worth the money you pay. The buttons are easy to use and the time is easy to set. Easy to turn the alarm button on and off. The lights are too bright. The noise level is so low if you are breathing normally while sitting next to it you will mot hear it. The increasing alarm function if you don't hit snooze after 9 minutes does not work it just stops beeping. 9 minutes later the alarm doesn't go off again. So disappointed and it is not worth the hassle to return. Well at least it is bright and has the 80s feel.

A flashback to the 70's/80's in a simple alarm clock like you used to find in drug stores and hardware stores. No blue tooth, network connected nonsense. Just a loud "beep" at 06:00 letting you know it's time to get up for work.

Keeps time, isn’t annoyingly bright, and looks good. Just wish it wasn’t such cheap plastic, and the actual alarm was louder.

I purchased this as I wanted a small, digital clock that could be placed on a shelf and read across the room. As I only needed a basic, robust clock I wanted a old-style unit that would last. As this is a "name-brand" and appeared in the ad to match what I had in mind I got it. It's not quite what I expected. It's lightweight, and feels a bit flimsy. I'm not using the alarm but the switch feels cheap, the buttons are fine. It uses a AA battery and not a 9V for battery backup, and the fit of the door was poor. It is *BRIGHT*, the other reviews about that are spot-on. I noticed it humming this morning, the transformer is visible through vents on the bottom and is of clearly cheap construction. Basically this clock is value-engineered to the minimum and is not as robust as it's ancestors. I don't expect it to last. Way too bright for a bedroom, I even think it's too bright for my living room. The cost is too high for this level of value-engineering. Apparently the Westclox factory burned down in 2012. Pay no attention to the name, the name you remember died over 10 years ago.

First this is a great little clock...it's so easy to use that I'm getting my husband a second one for his "has to go to the spare bedroom" when he snores so loud he's banished from the master suite...we've used this clock for decades with only one problem...it's so bright at night I was afraid the nearby airport would call us to complain we were interfering with airplane runway tracking systems. Ladies be especially aware this clock radiates a light that could easily light an entire wing of your home ...I use our bedroom tv remote to rest along the front to block the bright light before retiring for the night. It is however a great easy to use clock ... albeit with runway lighting...it's all in the eye of the beholder so to speak ....

My dad’s early 80’s alarm clock finally kicked the bucket (ai thought they were immortal!). He asked if I had anything with just a clock and an alarm. I told him I had an echo with a clock, an echo with a screen, a phone holder that turns your phone into a clock (with alarm!) and he said “No! just a clock and alarm! I gave it to him and I haven’t seen him this happy to receive a gift (he’s “thrifty” to say the least) in a long long time! Great purchase! Simple setup, real buttons, and can get loud. It’s smaller than the original, but that’s okay! It still looks straight out of the 80’s!

While the clock is much smaller than the old style clocks that it's based off of, that's not really the reason I don't care for it. I was really happy this clock came with an actual cord and not a charger style plug in (those are always much flimsier and unplug too easily to be as good as a solid wall plug) but the cord, itself, is at least half the thickness of a standard cord and feels like it will easily break over time. The alarm is nowhere near as loud as the retro clocks it is based off of. Yes it's an ascending alarm but the alarm goes from quiet to maybe just loud enough to wake up a mild sleeper. If you need an alarm to wake you from the dead, this one wont do. It's a decent, compact clock, but if you need an alarm to actually alert you, your best bet is to go with a different clock

Clock easy to use, nothing fancy to it. Bought it because I wanted a clock and needed it to fit my girlfriend aesthetic for the apartment. It’s very good and works well.

terrible

The same make and model lasted for twenty years. The new one arrived on time but when plugged into appropriate mains facility, started to smoke and smell of burning.

レトロな雰囲気が最高。

This was horrible.. Super small and sounds like a watch going off.. Do not buy
