Rocam Digital Alarm Clock for Bedrooms – Large 7.5” LED Display with …

What a great alarm clock!!!
I just received this alarm clock and it exceeds my expectations! It is extremely easy to read (the digits are slightly less than 2″ tall) and at its brightest setting, it is very bright and easily seen during the day. At the lowest dimmer setting, you can barely make out the time during the day although in a dark room you might be able to see it so it doesn’t turn off completely but is very dark. The dimmer is a slider so you can choose any level from almost off to bright.It is also VERY easy to setup. The instruction sheet is excellent but even without it, every button on the back makes sense. It has a button for Alarm Pause which is raised and red on the back of the clock to turn off the alarm each day so it will sound the next day. The is also a separate slider to turn the alarm all the way off if you don’t want to use the alarm and of course you can press the Snooze button on the top center of the alarm clock if you want to get another 9 minutes of sleep.There are separate buttons to set the time and the alarm. You simply press the one you want and use the hour and minute buttons on the top of the clock to set them. There is also an alarm volume slider and a time format slider to switch between 12 and 24 hour (military time) format.Finally, you can press and hold the time set button for a few seconds and the DST light will come on and an hour will be added to the time for Daylight Saving Time. When it is over in 6 months, simply press and hold the time set button for a few seconds and the DST light will go off and it will move the time back one hour. It is a manual process but you only do it twice a year and it is a little more convenient then having to fully set the time back and forth every six months.The colors of the night light can be changed each time you press the Snooze button on the top. They look good too and if you press and hold the Snooze button you can turn off the night light.The alarm clock has a very clean look and is easy to see and to use. The digits are bright, clear and consistent (no part of any digit appears to be brighter or darker than other parts of the digits). I highly recommend it!

Great value at great price
The front of this alarm clock is quite attractive due to its bezel-less design. Personally, I think the rest of the body would look more attractive if it maintained the angular design.The giant snooze button that doubles as a night light is clever. And I like how the night light is easy to use: To change colors, just press the button; to turn off, just depress for several seconds or keep pressing the button until it turns off as it rotates it cycles of many colors.The dimmer slide—yes, slide—is great as it provides an analog—not digital or incremental—control over brightness.The LED is sharp and crisp. For many other LED clocks, the numbers have faded or softened edges.The settings are also easy to use and make sense. Sometimes, the buttons are too minimal at the expense of usability and instruction manuals need to be consulted for basic changes. For this alarm clock, the only setting that isn’t immediately intuitive is DST. This is fine though as DST changes are only made twice a year, and it’s easy to figure out: Just depress the SET TIME button for a few seconds. In fact, having one less button button lowers production cost and therefore consumer price, a sensible trade-off given that the button would only be used twice a year.Other than aesthetics, my only complaint is that the button to turn off the alarm until the next day is tiny and on the back of the clock. That means that you’ll need to pick up and reposition the clock everyday. In a way, this helps someone actually wake up instead of habitually hitting the snooze button on autopilot. But for everyone else, this could be more annoying than its worth.A version two of this clock should easily fix these minor issues.

!!!!!!!
Love this alarm clock! Nice big numbers displayed and bright enough to see at night. Can adjust the brightness as well

Terrible – light started flashed randomly after 2yrs, died completely after 3yrs
This clock was horrible. After a year my daughter said it would flash its bright light randomly in the middle of the night for a fraction of a second. So it disrupted her sleep for a while before she even mentioned it. Also that all day it was constantly turning itself off for a half a second and then coming back on. I moved it to a different bedroom and she was absolutely right. Another year later of doing the same thing most nights, it finally died such that now it’s stuck in a kind of “boot loop” where it turns on for a fraction of a second and then off for about 4 seconds, and the bright light flashes randomly also.I had a working theory for a while that they had included some circuitry for deaf users on the PCB whereby if it thought a smoke detector was activating in the house, it would begin flashing its light. Our power here is a little ‘noisy’, so I thought it might be misinterpreting random fluctuations as this kind of “signal over power”.But regardless, it’s a piece of trash. Very poorly manufactured PCB, total piece of junk. We never dropped it, it was never exposed to any unusual environment or anything. It has way too many features and don’t buy it cause it’ll be e-waste in a couple of years.Instead find a clock with half the features honestly and maybe the manufacturer will have spent some of the money actually making a reliable product.
