best alarm clock you'll ever own

We have loved the combination of light and sound to help us wake up.  Sometimes the soothing natural tones aren't jarring enough, but that's a personal preference

I've had one like this for more than 6 years now.  Never fails!  I just bought a new one for my husband.  This alarm clock will last for years.

Bought an an alarm cock (by Sharp even, which I always thought were a reliable company/group) from Walmart...  Seemed awfully fancy that had a USB outlet to charge your cell-phone while you slept, except whenever there was a power shortage or you accidentally unplugged it; you had to switch out the 9-Volt back-up battery when it would eat through these batteries quicker than a fat boy at a candy store.

Just as they advertised with this alarm clock, there are no frills or un-needed features.  It's simple, it's convenient, and it won't eat-up AAA batteries which are also incredibly cheap and easy to come by in ANY department store.  It's simple to set-up, so I would be bold enough to say that you could easily throw out the manual to save it from becoming clutter in your personal space or Google/YouTube the directions whenever you forget how to reset the clock when your back-up batteries run out.

As you can tell, the design of this product compliments ANY bedroom and this is the first simple product that I've seen with a night-light which is perfect for any child until they break that habit.

I've read over the negative reviews:  As long as you buy it new, then I really don't see how difficult it would be to return the product for another one if you get a defective because quality control (you kinda have to put yourself in their shoes) is sometimes a nightmare.

As one who is prone to liking form over function, I think this clock is amazing. For those who rely on an alarm clock for waking up, you are best served looking elsewhere. I purchased mine in 2011, and have always had my phone alarm as a backup. This seems to fail to go off every few months.

It does still look wonderful though, and I have yet to find a better alarm clock for my nightstand.

I purchased this clock about 1 month ago, based my purchase on both price and brand. I own several other Sony products, and love them all, however was particularly surprised by how well this alarm clock is put together. It offers dual alarms, two levels of LED dimming, and several radio presets. The sound quality is quite impressive, and the local AM and FM signals all come in strong.

This is easily the nicest alarm clock I've ever come across, and strongly recommend it to anyone.

I spent a while searching for the perfect alarm clock radio.  I had a number of features that I wanted it to have and I found that this has all of them, and then some, and for a good price.  The AM/FM radio comes out very clear, although the speaker inside the clock is tiny, so it doesn't have very good sound quality.  The projector is AMAZING!  It comes out clearly on my wall/ceiling and has a manual focus so it is clear at any distance.  I tested the thermometer's accuracy with an old-fashioned mercury thermometer in the same room and it was dead on, not a degree off.  The dimmer is great too, I usually put it on "low" or "off" and use the projector.  Some people are more light sensitive then me, so it drives some people crazy unless the screen is off, but I don't mind it.  The charging is good on it also, and it has SO many alarm settings.  This thing is an alarm clock miracle as long as whatever you need to wake yourself up for is at a consistent time.  Even then, it's easy to make a one-time alarm.  I love this clock!

Very great alarm clock!
If it's to loud for you, buy a wimpy alarm clock!
This is for us serious relaxers and sleepers!

This alarm is great and worth the price. The vibration is strong, the beep setting is loud, and the flashing light is bright enough to definitely wake you up. Easy to set and the snooze button is in a very convenient spot. I like the design of it as well, and can be used for travel or for home.

Fantastic alarm clock and extremely intuitive. Has a nice long cord and gets excellent radio reception on both AM and FM. The only thing negative I could say about it is that the buzzer alarm is terribly low and would never wake a sound sleeper. I paid the full $19.99 and am still very satisfied with my purchase. If you really want an alarm clock that is extremely intuitive (easy) to set up, then pick this one up you will not regret it!!

It is very seldom that I pick up a product, hold it in my hands, and think to myself: "Wow, the manufacturer of this item really put a lot of thought into the usability of this!"

With this alarm clock, however, I find myself constantly impressed. The backup battery lasted a whole weekend while it was unplugged. The design is sleek, and easy on the eyes. The display can be completely dimmed when I want to be undisturbed at night. The sound quality is phenomenal, in my opinion, although it still can't replace a decent pair of dedicated speakers. The sound is still better than any alarm clock I've had, however, and is leagues better than my laptop.

It's the little, additional things that were included in the design that impress me the most, however. The included USB charging port is wonderful. The clock contains a "sleep timer" button that both allows music to play for a set duration of time before shutting off, and allows the clock to act as a standard timer, making it perfect for daytime naps. I recently discovered, quite by accident, that the volume buttons are also multipurpose - when there isn't any music playing, the volume buttons double as brightness adjustment buttons.

I can't think of anything else I'd want in a bedside alarm clock. This was well worth my purchase.

This alarm is a Godsend! It's easy to operate and has a great concept. I bough this about 3 years ago when my son was 2. He understood right away and was even excited about it because he loved watching the light change. I change the alarm times twice a day, everyday, and the buttons are still holding up great. Great quality and really cute! I cannot speak highly enough of this clock!

I love this alarm clock!  It does exactly what an alarm clock should do: it wakes me up and keeps great time.  The settings are so simple and direct.  No fuss, no muss.  It could not be easier to set the clock and the alarm.  The alarm is nice and loud, but there is a softer setting if you don't like it so loud.  The display is large and clear, too. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have no complaints.  The USB port is a special bonus for this alarm clock with no frills!  I plug in my iPhone at night and it is fully charged in the morning.  There is no battery backup, true, but this is a simple alarm clock.  It is definitely worth the price!  I am a happy camper!

Excellent alarm clock.  It is loud and will wake the dead.  I got it for my wife as she doesn't wake up to anything.  But this thing works every time .

I LOVE this alarm clock. And what's even better is: IT WILL NOT DIE despite my best efforts. This poor guy has been abused so much that it now rattles like it has many broken parts. Every time it accidentally gets chucked off the bedside table or crushed by the airport it sounds even worse. And yet, after 6 years, it still keeps on ticking. I've had Timex watches come and go, and this guy beat them all.

What else do we like about it:
- The snooze doesn't require that I wake up to figure out where to hit it. (This might be part of why it rattles.)
- Snooze gives me 5 minutes to become alert enough to turn it off.
- Perfect size and brightness means I don't wake up the wife by trying to see what time it is in the middle of the night.
- 2 AAA batteries last quite a while.

I haven't been able to use the atomic clock feature, but frankly, I don't care. I set the clock and it works. Its not hard to change the time twice a year for daylight savings time.
