Elgin 3503E LCD Alarm Clock Reviews
The fact that there were two in the box and I only ordered one does not make up for the very bad design. Not good. I can not recommend this clock. Even with the AL in the OFF position, it still rings.
That I ordered an Elgin clock and got a Timex is just confusing. I will have to take the battery out in order to sleep it on the weekend. I am guessing this is the snooze feature. There is a switch with AL ON and OFF but that turns a Z on and off on the display. One of the highlights of my week is when I get to turn the alarm off first thing on Friday morning and not have to worry about the alarm until Monday.
With this clock, the alarm will ring every day. It is mostly fine but there is no way to stop the alarm from ringing.
Yet, if you fail to turn it off (when, say, you're not around to hear it), it will still go off the next day at that same time with no resetting. The only fault I find with it (but understand why they did it) is that the light goes completely off so you cannot see the time in the dark until you hit the snooze button; but that preserves the battery life of the one AA battery needed. I was so happy with this small alarm clock that I bought two more and want more for gifts if I can get them. The alarm sounds dependably, and when it does go off, it gets louder and louder until there's no getting around it. I just always keep it in the same place so I can reach for it if I need to know the time in the middle of the night. It is ridiculously easy to set and you can reset it within 10 seconds. It super lightweight (you can tote it around in a pocket in case you're afraid of forgetting something), very stable because of its squatty little body and, unlike what one reviewer said, is not hard to turn off - either hit the snooze or flip the switch to off.
Ridiculous. However, one must hit the snooze bar to see the numbers. I do not recommend it. However, you must find the clock and hit the snooze to see it. Kind of useless at night. This clock has huge numbers on the face. I really would like to just roll over and see the time.
This clock is a simple, easy to use basic clock. The display is bright but the bar to turn it on takes a determined push which makes an an annoying clack. Changing settings is simple but the small size of a travel clock makes the buttons somewhat difficult to operate. The alarm will get the attention of all but the the soundest of sleepers.
This alarm clock is as basic as it gets, but it does have nice big numbers and is battery powered. We move it around to rooms without a clock when we need to be able to identify when the baby last ate, etc.
