Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elgin Travel Alarm Clock
Customer Review: A Fine Travel Alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a simple travel alarm that would be SURE to wake me up and is reasonably priced. This is EXACTLY what I wanted! I odered two. I especially like the cover; it covers the control buttons but leaves the display visible. The slider switch is a bit flimsy, but it works just fine. The 4 minute snooze is not adjustable, but it is good for traveling - you really do need to get up when the alarm goes off.Customer Review: A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't understand all the raving reviews about this useless alarm clock.
Mine, when set up, buzzes for less than a minute, in such a low tone that you can happily sleep through
the entire time and wake up two hours later without even noticing.
Additionally, it would be supposed, when you do not hear the alarm the first time, to buzz again at 4 minute intervals: IT DOESN'T.
In simpler words: it only sounds for less than a minute at the set time, it has a very low tone, and stops dead there, until the day after.
No appeal, no redemption. You are going to be late for work if you rely on this awful clock.
It is a waste of time, money and hope.
I purchased it because it bears the name of "Elgin", a very good watchmaker. But I went back to my "Made in China" $6 alarm clock, that is reliable, humble and
does not require fussing about.
Customer Review: A total waste of money for me
Summary: 1 Stars
Who cares about what it looks like, the whole purpose of an alarm clock is to make sure you wake up on time. This alarm isn't loud enough for heavy sleepers like me. I tried using this a couple of times and both times I ended up not hearing it, overslept, and was late for my college class. Which, btw, seriously ticked me off. I bought it because another reviewer had said the alarm was loud...sorry, but it's not.
It now sits unused in my desk drawer. Total waste of money.
Customer Review: Alarm Clock
Summary: 4 Stars
The alarm clock is very good. It isn't obnoxiously loud, which I like. Not only does it beep, but the light also flashes. My only dislike is that the SNOOZE isn't very long. It is only 4 minutes. I would prefer more time than that. But it does get me out of bed. It small and portable, so I bring it with me when I travel because of the convenience. It seems to be a good product.Customer Review: Alarmingly Simple Alarm
Summary: 4 Stars
Simple and easy to use: one switch and two buttons. Good value for the money. One-way set (advance only) for hours and minutes (one button for each), so if you overshoot your mark, you have to go around again, but it's fast. The stand is a bit fragile, but serviceable. One unexpected feature - you can use the night light to drive with if your headlights go out.
