Tools and Hardware Reviews of Equity by La Crosse 40018 Insta-Set Alarm Clock
Customer Review: Maybe you will get lucky!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you believe in luck then order one of these clocks. Otherwise I would keep looking. This sets itself clock is piece of junk. The auto set doesn't work on the one I got. It didn't follow the rules when I tried and tried and tried etc. to manually set it. It won't even keep the wrong time!! I am not even going to bother sending it back. I am afraid they would send it to another unsuspecting customer. It is a PIECE OF JUNK!!Customer Review: Slightly misleading

I purchased this clock under the misunderstanding that it was a radio controlled clock and that I would not have to constantly reset the time to match the other radio controlled clocks in the house. However, it really is a clock within a clock and the instant on function is due to the internal clock that runs off of a separate battery. The price is low and the display is nice a big so it could be seen across a room or by someone with poor eyesight when not corrected. The major drawback is that the internal clock is not very accurate. Within a month, the clock is already off by 30 seconds compared to the radio controlled clocks in the house. As a result, I have to change the time frequently to match the other clocks in the house.Customer Review: The worst of the worst

Setting this clock is a labor in futility. Either the directions are wrong, or it is easier to set up a NASA launch. The DST change is mis-set at the factory, keeping correct time is almost impossible, and I wouuld never buy another Insta-Set.Customer Review: Time is not accurate

I bought one of these and thought it was great, so I bought 2 more. I noticed the time on my digital watch was different, but I kept assuming an atomic clock had to be right, so I kept changing my watch. Finally I put 2 of these clocks in the same room and found the times displayed differed by 8 minutes -- one showed 8:00 am and the other showed 8:08am. Then I checked them both against the official time and found one was 9 minutes behind and the other was 17 minutes behind the official time. This difference has persisted for weeks and still exists. Whatever they are supposed to do to adjust the time, they fail to do it accurately. Worse there is no way to fix it, and then last week they began to be 1 hour behind our official time, actually 1 hour and 8 minutes and 1 hour and 17 minutes behind. I just ordered new clocks as they are driving me nuts this way. They don't work.Customer Review: Worked for 2 yearsbut now it doesn't keep time

I bought this clock about 3 years ago and it worked fine until about 6 months ago. It started to run slow about 3 or 4 minutes. Now it is off by 20 minutes and I have to throw it out. Because the clock is supposed to set the time automatically when its plugged in, there are no buttons to adjust the time. Unplugging it and plugging it back in does not fix the problem. Shouldn't these clocks last more than a couple of years?
