Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Innovative Neverlate Executive Alarm Clock
Customer Review: Excellent and versitle alarm clock
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the the Executive Alarm Clock for about a month. I must admit is wasn't too impresses at first; it seemed like an over-complicated device. However, after actually reading the instruction booklet (which I would recommend to anyone that purchases the clock), I have grown to love it. The clock offers 14 different customizable alarms, and honestly I can't remember how I lived without this. I would always have to spend time changing the alarm times on my old clock, turning it on and off when not needed. With this clock I set the days and times I want and never have to change it. This is an excellent alarm clock, and I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Excellent features - good service
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two Neverlate Executive alarm clocks and both units tended to crash (freeze) on a monthly basis due to an earlier glitch in the product that has since been fixed. The company American Innovative replaced both units at no charge. I am very satisfied with their service.Customer Review: Fabulous, but a little 'cheap' feeling
Summary: 5 Stars
This clock works great, has a very small footprint (which is what I was looking for), but feels a little 'cheap'. The plastic used to construct it feels cheap. I don't know what it's made of other than that and it's not really an issue, but I was worried about the quality when I pulled it out of the box. The clock is VERY easy to set up and the multiple alarms are fantastic.Customer Review: Fantastic alarm clock
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Neverlate Executive for about a year now. Hands down it is the best alarm clock I have ever owned.
Best features:
- Easy to use controls. Buttons and knobs are simple and intuitive. I lost the instructions long ago but can still figure out how to customize all of the settings pretty directly.
- Big, easy to read display. Nice upgrade over the orginal Neverlate
- Option to wake to any radio station or buzzer.
- Digital tuner with presets... the simplicity of finding the station I want means I actually use the clock as a radio in my bedroom
- Nap timer is easy to set and useful.
- Customizable snooze duration. I have always found standard alarm clock snoozes too long.
- Multiple alarm banks and individual daily alarms are nice to have but I don't use them all the time. Good to have the option, though.
Potential drawbacks
- Some other reviews mention freezing or technical glitches but I have not experienced any. My clock works well.
- Softest radio volume level could be a little softer - but that is a nit.
The nicest thing about this clock is it can be as simple or complicated as you want it to be. It does all of the basics extremely well and lets you customize as little or as much as you want. I would buy this clock again... and have given it as gifts to some friends and a couple nephews in college.
Customer Review: Features missing that should be there
Summary: 4 Stars
I am giving this clock 4 stars, because what it says it will do, it does. It has the ability to set different times for different days along with multiple alarms for each day.
The problem is that switching to this alarm clock required that I give up features that I have come to enjoy in other alarm clocks. At a price of $59 dollars, how much more would it add to the production cost and end cost to add those features?
1. Nature sounds - I prefer to wake up hearing birds chirp rather than a beeper.
2. Built in MP3 player ability where I just need to stick a flash drive with a selection of songs. Again, I want to wake up to what I want to wake up to and not some predefined beeps.
A small MP3 player by itself costs as low as $12 at retail including the memory card. After that feature it added, the nature sounds are just sound files, like any other sound files. Would I personally pay $12 more for an alarm clock for the ability to choose my own sounds? Yes.
