Sharp Digital Alarm Clock with Keyboard Style Controls, Battery Back-up, Easy to Use with Simple Operation, Black Case with Red LED Display

Good old fashioned digital clock.
I needed a noisy and simple clock to get my children OUT OF BED to turn it off. The way that you set the time and the alarm and the easy of turning the alarm on and off is perfect. I like that you can dim the light to make it not so bright but still visible. The Battery backup is always a feature that I look for in a clock so you don’t have to reset it all the time if the power flickers. Very functional and simple design.

Nice alarm.
Small size and lightweight, moderate sound when the alarm is on, easy to set and operate, clear numbers, and the price is not exaggerated.

Well built , good readability and low cost
I was looking for a simple desk clock that runs of AC and uses the 60 Hz mains frequency as a time base. The reason for the latter is because the electricity company keeps this really accurate, you will never have to correct the clock (as is often the case with clocks having an internal quartz reference). Quartz based clocks always drifts over time, not so for this clock. Also, those atomic clocks (as an alternative) were not an option for me, as the NIST radio signal for that (from Ft Collins, CO) is too weak where I live. Apart from the fact that those clocks cost at least twice as much.There is a battery backup in this clock that keeps an internal oscillator running when there is a power outage, two AAA batteries can be placed in the clock for that. Contrary what some reviewers have reported as a “defect”, these batteries are only there to keep the internal oscillator running during an outage so you won’t have to re-adjust the clock after a power outage. These batteries will NOT keep the display illuminated. That is not why these batteries are there, even the video reviewer had not grasped that fact I noticed.I recommend to use old-fashioned carbon-zinc batteries for this backup function, as alkaline-based batteries always start to leak corrosive electrolyte after a while. This will destroy your radio in the process. This leakage happens even when alkaline batteries are hardly used I have noticed, they are terrible in that aspect. Use carbon-zinc instead (often called “heavy duty” batteries)This is in fact my only gripe about this radio, it should have been designed for a lithium coin cell battery instead of the two AAA batteries. Lithium batteries never leak an have an extremely low self discharge.Another nice-to-have would have been a daylight- saving time switch, but not a big deal.Adding it all up, this is a buy I can recommend. The clock is built well and has good brightness (settable by the user)

May be good, depending on your requirements
I use a color noise generator with the volume at about 2/3rds max. The alarm from this product can not be heard and there is no volume control.Other than that, it is simple to use/set and has a small footprint.

Had to return it as it came with US fittings but the clock itself looked quality.
