Great basic alarm clock

Simple, easy to set and turn the alarm on and off. The switches and buttons have good tactile feedback and are spread out. On the left rear is a sliding Set switch where up or down is set time or alarm and center is normal. You don't have to hold that while you also press the hour/minute buttons. On the right rear is an alarm on/off switch where up is on and down is off. It's approximately behind the Alarm LED, and there are no other buttons nearby to bump, so it's easy to operate by feel without accidentally changing the time or alarm. The one thing that surprised me is there was no protective film over the front, and it looked slightly scuffed like maybe it had been handled a few times even though it was in a bubble-wrap pouch. I'm hoping that is not normal, but it will look like that after I own it for a month anyway.

RCA Clock with Large 1.4" Display Review

Good Value considering price points! – Large readout and easy to see at distance. Also unlike my other clock it replaced I can see the readout at any angle! All LED’s seem to work, so good there, and appears to keep good time unlike the previous clock that went ahead about 3 minutes a month, it will drive you Crazy! – Super Simple to set and NO manual needed like most electronics these days! Granny as well as the kids can easily manage this one. On the minus side, the readout could be better if it was more solid looking but I imagine this is the result due to the large Size of the readout. Overall great Value considering price paid.

What an alarm clock should be.

I'm pretty picky about my alarm clocks for several reasons: brightness, number size, and sound. I'm terribly nearsighted and the numbers were big and bright enough to be visible at 15 feet. I'm also sensitive to light in a dark bedroom and this clock doesn't create that nimbus of light around it that so many of my previous clocks have. Finally, it is loud enough to get me up at 3:30 AM but doesn't make the neighbor's dog howl (yes, this is actually a problem). Cheap, functional, compact, and one of the best I've ever owned.

Big boy clock

My grandson was so excited to have his own alarm clock for school. Now he can get up and get ready for school all by himself.

Numbers lit up all the time

Great big numbers to replace the clock that is no longer on my cable box. My new cable system was streamlined without a clock. Apparently I used that cable box clock a lot when watching tv. Bought this to fit on my tv stand shelf. Small enough to fit next to the cable box but the numbers are large enough to see from across the room. The numbers are always on full light up display. Had to return another brand/model because you had to press a button to have the numbers light up on full display. Plug in type so no need to constantly change batteries.

Great clock

I am very picky on clocks, I needed something simple, nothing fancy. But when I got the clock and set the time which I was very very surprised at how easy it was! The display is very big and very compact. I have it set on the highest brightness setting and it's not blinding perfect for when you're sleeping and can look at it without being blinded. If you want a simple clock this is it! I even got a battery for the back up.

And it does all of these things reliably and wonderfully well. It is my backup alarm that I ...

I bought this for my husband after he slept through his cell phone alarm and was 4 hours late for work one day. I wanted something visible, simple, and LOUD. This fit the bill so well that I have now stolen it for my own use. This is a simple clock, with no frills. It is what it is. It does very few things: shows you the time in huge, mildly unpleasant red numbers, lets you set a loud beeping alarm for one time only, and lets you snooze. That's it. And it does all of these things reliably and wonderfully well. It is my backup alarm that I always set. Would I like something more attractive? Sure, but then it wouldn't scream "wake up" at me when I check the time or wouldn't be visible across the entire bedroom. Would I like something with multiple alarms? Maybe. I have my cell phone for that, and it's a bit risky - what if it fails? Basically, this clock is your annoying, punctual friend, who is always on time above everything else and sort of boring for it, and drags you along with her. She's useful and serviceable, but not very much fun when you're tired or lazy, which is entirely the point.

Simple and useful!

We bought two of these for our 6 and 9 year old so that they could start getting themselves up for school. It's well made and sturdy, but still small and lightweight It has the option for batter back up The buttons are simple and functional, no unnecessary fluff It is easy to set the time, alarm time, and alarm on/off The display brightness is easily adjustable The snooze button is large and easy to press The volume is loud enough to wake whomever is in the room but loud enough to hear down the hall

Simple, Easy, and Accurate.

All I wanted was a clock that I could see and easy to set with a back-up battery. Well, there are just three slide buttons on the back. 1) Alarm on, alarm off 2) dimmer high/low 3) set time/set alarm/lock On the top front is a large snooze/cancel button. One side of the bar has the hour to set and the other side of the bar is the minute to set depending on whether the slide switch on the back is set to time or alarm. That's it ... simple and easy. However, what I did do is put a piece of velcro on the bottom to keep the clock secure on the bed-side stand. I have a habit of thrashing around in my sleep sometimes.

Inexpensive. Simple. Easy-peasy.

I wanted a clock that I can see from across my smallish studio apartment. This works fine and has a din/bright setting as well. For $10, Can't be beaten. I've uploaded some photos as well.
