SharpTech SPC303 LCD Travel Alarm Clock with Folding Metal Case (Champagne) Reviews
this is a great little clock. i have read the other reviews, and i mean, come on-what do people expect from a clock that cost so little. if people want one of that kind of quality, they should probably pay more for an electric tabletop clock. i would not hesitate to buy another. my 3 1/2 year old son has taken to playing with mine (he thinks it is his phone) and for the past month he has played with it and even he hasn't damaged itother than some light surface scratches.
it is a great shape, nice design, comes in good color choices. i think people just expect miracles and want to pay pennies for them. you have to really mess with it for the battery to come out and then you just pop it back in. you really do get what you pay for and i don't think this is designed to be a bedside everyday clock.
We tried changing the battery but that doesn't help. I'm kind of surprised that Sharp ties it's name to such a product. We purchased this at Wal-Mart a while back.
The temperature gauge was nice and it's difficult to beat the compact size. As other reviewers have reported, the alarm clock was very functional for a while and then the alarm quit working. Just hope that the day it stops working is a non-important one for you.
I saw two other reviewers reported the same problem. However, when we set the alarm now it doesn't beep anymore and the light just stays on during this period. If you're looking for a short term solution for 6+ months then this will probably work fine but don't count on it as eventually it will probably stop working for you too.
FYI, the product is made in China.
Due to its chassis' rather questionable build quality, I'd certainly feel more comfortable looking elsewhere when considering an alarm clock on a backwoods trip. Yet for all its flaws, this little bugger has done what I needed of it when I've had to rely upon it. The hinge for this clamshell operating design has plenty of wiggle and play, though admittedly it does stay closed when need be so it does keep the LCD protected when on the move to the next destination. For instance, despite its metal case the materials are still on the flimsy, thin and cheezy side of perfection.by a rather wide margin, I might add. But for the relative safe confines of a hotel room, this little clock has so far done a dependable and solid job of fulfilling exactly what the thing was originally created to do. It's been with me on several trips, and has performed quite well. Yet in a (extremely) darkened room it's still bright enough read the screen.from select angles, that is.
The alarm's shrill, electronic beeping is for me not the most pleasant noise to wake up to. However, it's certainly not a perfect device. This LCD display has a rather narrow viewing angle in the top-to-bottom axis; the digits can get awfully dull and fuzzy when not looking at the LCD at a near perpendicular angle. As others have noted, the blue-tinted backlight is near useless because of the extremely low light level it manages to (barely) emit. I admit I was swayed by its neo-RAZR looks when I picked this up at a local Bartell's Drug Store (a Seattle-area retail institution, in case you're wondering). Time keeping has been accurate over the several months of ownership and usage, the battery still appears to be going strong (though I too had to finesse the initial battery installation in order to get the thing to work correctly), and it's managed to wake me up every time I've needed it to do exactly that.
If you still have the reciept or photocopy, you can send them with the product to:. I really like the look of this alarm clock, hopefully it will hold up ok, it seems to be a bit mixed, looking at reviews. I have the warranty on hand - It is warranteed for 2 years after date of purchase against manufacturing defects. They note to include your return address. 33-00 Northern Boulevard. Apparently it is a SHARPtech product, not Sharp, made by M.Z. but they require a check of $5.95 to cover S&H, which is hardly worth it for a $10 product.
M.Z. Long Island City, NY 11101-2224. Berger Service Center. Berger and Company. If mine breaks, perhaps I will purchase the award winning plastic one from LL Bean. The model is SPC303 - or at least mine is.
Thanks for nothing, Sharp. The display blinked. So, I got this a week ago and somehow on using the Snooze function I put it into a "Silent Alarm" mode.
The support number they provided wasn't even a toll free support line. Two phone numbers later, they tell me "It's not a Sharp Product." Even with Sharp's name all over it, it's not a Sharp product therefore they don't support it. I set the alarm on a test and waited.
After spending far too long trying to get it out of silent mode (including removing the battery in order to rest it to factory default), I called Sharp for help. No sound. No lie.
