Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elgin Travel Alarm Clock

Customer Review: No frills, loud alarm clock
Summary: 3 Stars

As others have noted, this is a no frills alarm clock that is easy to set and does what it's supposed to do. If you want an attractive clock, this is not the one for you. The plastic looks cheap, and it was slightly bulkier than I expected. My only real issue with it was the alarm. I prefer my initial alarm sound to be a gentle peep that gradually increases in intensity--I don't want my alarm disturbing the hotel guest in the next room. This is loud and obnoxious from the start. If you're a deep sleeper, the Elgin Travel Alarm Clock is the one for you.

Customer Review: Not Permanently Backlit
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this clock so that I could see the time in the dark. Since I can't always reach or find the thing, I need it to be permanently back lit and that's why I bought it. Anyway, I guess that's my mistake and so this thing is useless to me.

Customer Review: Not as good as expected
Summary: 3 Stars

Some reviewers may be talking about a different clock, but this one DOES NOT start out softly and get louder. It is simply loud from the start. The packaging notes it is an "ascending alarm", but this just means it beeps more frequently if you don't shut it off. True, it is simple to operate and the numbers are nice and big, but it looks and feels cheap. I really wanted something that would wake me gently (at least initially) and this is not it!

Customer Review: Okay for the price
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a pretty decent little alarm clock. It's been reliable. The sound of the alarm is a beep which is loud enough to wake you without being too jarring. I absolutely love the indigo lighted display which is easy on the eyes. The button to turn on the indigo display is a great size and centrally located, but I don't like how small and cumbersome the other buttons are. Even though the unit is small, I feel the design of the other buttons could have been a little more user friendly for the sleepy, often one-eye-open user of the clock.
