Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elgin Travel Alarm Clock
Customer Review: Great Simple little travel alarm clock
Summary: 5 Stars
This clock worked perfect for my trip to Australia. Compact simple and easy to use!Customer Review: Great little alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm with the airlines, so I have been thru a number of these. The best feature of this clock/alarm is that it has a cover that covers the buttons when it is in your suitcase. Sounds like a little thing, but if you don't have a cover, the time is always changing inside of your suitcase. Not only does that wear out your batteries, but it also makes the buttons hard to push. Plus you have to reset the time every time you plan on useing it! Those of us in the business always bring our own alarm as well as call for a wake up call. Too many times the computer that sets the wake up calls in the hotels, is not dependable.Customer Review: Grrrr, this thing sucks!

So, this clock woke me up alright! The snooze didn't work, and then I couldn't turn it off! I had to rip the batteries out of it to get it to stop...It is very cheaply made (explains the price I guess), but yeah it works just fine as long as you don't need to use the snooze ever.Customer Review: I Give Up!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Because of the generally positive reviews and the really low price I decided to take a chance and try one of these. My initial opinion matched those of the best reviews. It is a cheap, simple alarm clock and a great package for travel. The display is large and clear, the controls are intuitive and easy to use, the night light and snooze alarm are easy to access, and the alarm is nice and loud. I was really starting to love it........and then the display pixels started to drop out. The display soon became unreadable.
The clock was just too cheap to bother sending back so I ordered another one. It worked great the first night. When it rang in the morning I hit the snooze alarm and, since then, if the alarm is enabled at all it rings every several minutes. I kept trying it periodically for a couple of days. I even took the batteries out for a while and then replaced them. No change. It is locked into perpetual snooze mode.
I finally gave up and, for an additional $2.50, ordered a Casio. It works just fine.
Customer Review: Inexpensive and Cheap.

I bought this clock for the large display and the backlight feature, but the clock arrived with the backlight nonfunctioning. As it turns out, the display isn't that large or legible in low light. I'd advise another choice.
