La Crosse Technology WT-2171U Digital Travel Alarm Clock Reviews
We are using these atomic alarm clocks for business purposes. They are a great value.
I didn't give this a five-star rating because of how it loses it's signal from the transmitter in Colorado if the clock isn't placed near a window actually facing Colorado. Once the clock is placed in said window, it gets the signal back within 2-24 hours or so and displays the exact time once again.
This clock was exactly what I wanted. I didn't think I'd find one for less than $10.00.but here it is. An accurate, self setting clock to set my other clocks with, since the time announcement service (given by phone) has been discontinued in our area.
I got the clock as a free gift with purchase with a wrist watch. I love the self setting features, very James Bond. I love the quick alarm reset feature (hold down snooze bar when alarm is going off until it beeps) Yes the buttons do take a bit of getting used to but for my wife to tell me to order anything even related to a tech gadget is huge. I wish she felt this way about a jet ski. I had no trouble setting it up, or getting it to do everthing it said it would.
I am shocked at how many I've looked at that don't have a distinctive ON/OFF button at all. It was ridiculous. Took it back and bought another one for about $5 and this one it has the world's faintest night light - can't see at all, and the alarm is very faint. The first was a basic model for about $8, but you could barely find the ON/OFF button and distinguish that switch/button from the others when coming out of a sound sleep. Bright light when on at night though. (I liked it a lot - but my husband hated the high pitched sound it emitted when I pushed the light button at night. And I actually couldn't see the numerals in the daytime.
Well it is just lousy to try and operate as an alarm clock. No ON/OFF button. I have since bought two more travel clocks at Target. The folding stand on my reliable TIMEX travel alarm clock (which I used at home,too) broke, so I searched for a replacement. Yikes.
The sound was at too high a frequency to bother me much). Forget it. I decided to put it by my computer just as a clock. I have some other radio-controlled clocks so I thought this LaCrosse Technology one would be good after searching all the possibilities on Amazon. But it doesn't know what CST is. Numbers big enough. Is it too much to ask for alarm clock designers to have easy to use buttons and decent lights.
I would have to read the directions each time to remember which of the two buttons to push in which way to set the clock and alarm, and to turn the alarm on and off. It keeps going back an hour so I can't even get it to tell the right time. It should be a no-brainer that the ON/OFF switch is easy to find and separate from the other buttons. Your choices are AL/HR and MODE/MIN.
