DreamSky Small Digital Alarm Clock for Bedroom, Large Big Numbers Disp…

Wonderful, versatile, easy to use small clock
The clock is small, can fit almost anywhere. But the numbers are so big and bright you can see it from all the way across the room night or day. It comes with instructions, but I’ve actually never used them, the clock is very intuitive apnd easy to set up. Both the volume of the alarm and the brightness of the display are programmable. Which is great because on high the alarm can be heard from one end of the house to the other and on high brightness, could probably be seen from space. I bought one 6 years ago for my living room still works perfectly, bought a second one three years ago for downstairs still great and I’m back today to buy a third for the bedroom. I do recommend using the battery backup, which doesn’t work the clock but does keep your settings. Highly recommend!

Simple, Efficient, Effective
For those who just want a straightforward, simple little alarm clock that gets the job done without the bells and whistles, this is it. Easy to read, easy to set up, and lightweight. Dimmer switch is great with lots of options. Since I’m sensitive to light, I keep it very low, but it can be as bright as you like. Nothing fancy in the alarm sound, but it will wake you up as needed. A good purchase for those who want the basics.

Mine is slightly fast, but otherwise I like it a lot
This has been my nightstand clock for 8 months as I post this review. I like that it has a much smaller footprint AND much bigger numerals than my previous alarm clock, which had also gotten very dim over the years. My eyes aren’t as good, either, as they were when I bought the previous one, but with this one, I can very easily read the time in the middle of the night without glasses — or during the day, across the room, although I keep my bedroom rather dark. The display has a nice brightness range, and as I recall, I turned it down almost to the dimmest setting. Green was my color choice, as I find it very relaxing and a little unusual.I rarely use the alarm feature; I just wanted something that was easier to see. So although the alarm sound is a bit harsh for my preference, it doesn’t matter to me.I wasn’t sure I’d use the extra USB port (the one not used to power the clock). But I do, every night, to charge my smartphone, just making sure to block notifications and calls. For what it’s worth, the phone’s display says “Charging rapidly,” unlike with the USB port on a few other devices I own. I leave the charging wire plugged into the clock all the time, to have one less connection to make.Setting the time and alarm time is pretty intuitive, and the instructions were helpful for my first time or two. And there are clear markings on the back, for when those instructions are inevitably lost.I tested the battery backup (along with all other features) when the clock first arrived, and it held the time as promised, though it can’t *display* the time while the power is out. (They are upfront about that in the instructions). I put two new alkaline AAA batteries in it when I received it, and haven’t had to replace them. I’m guessing they’ll last a couple of years.The clock is very lightweight, but I can move the phone charging cord around without inadvertently moving the clock. A stiffer cord might be a bit trickier, if that’s a concern to anyone.My only complaint, a small one, is that the unit I received is very slightly fast, based on a glance at my smartphone’s time display each day. I don’t assume every unit produced is exactly the same. Although I don’t have specific numbers, I would guestimate that it gains about 10 seconds a month. So in half a year, when it’s time (in many parts of the world) to reset anyway, due to Daylight Saving Time, it might only be a minute off. I was going to give the clock only 4 stars for that reason alone, but as I think about it, it’s not even bad enough to take one star away. I have a DVR clock that *loses* closer to a *minute* a month. But this may be more critical for some people than it is for me — retired!Overall, very pleased.

Loved it so much- I ordered another one!
This alarm clock can be bright or dim- you decide! Change the colors to suit your personality. It’s easy to use and set up, keeps time well and easy to set the alarm. I needed a loud alarm for to wake up my kids and get them to high school. This does the trick! The loudness is perfect! I’ve only ever had it plugged in, so I can’t comment on the battery life but it’s great so far! The picture doesn’t do the color justice- it really is cool to look at.

Exactly what I was looking for! Large numbers and a dimmer. I suffer from migraine headaches and am very sensitive to any type of bright lighting, being able to dim the display is absolutely perfect! I purchased this clock strictly for the time display not the alarm feature.

Good product but requires constant connection to power source…
