unhappy with this alarm

The chime is too loud and the sound is not very pleasant. There is no way to disarm the chime feature. I haven't even taken the time to try the alarm. Not user friendly at all.

So this clock feels cheap and like it would fall apart if I handled it roughly after angrily waking to its super loud bell.  I have to set the alarm away from my bed so that I have a moment to get my wits about me before I bash this alarm silent.  It will jolt you awake and I have found that I tend to wake up earlier in fear of this thing going off.

I bought this because of the good reviews. But this alarm is terrible, buy something else.
The mechanism to adjust the time and the alarm is annoying, there is not even a simple way
of making the alarm not sound on the next morning. Going back to the ipad alarm.

This is the worst alarm I have ever had. Its not easy to set. Don't ever lose the instructions or it will be of no use!

I cannot change my TV volume or channels using the remote without setting off a false alarm (due to the infrared "testing" feature).

I cannot put this alarm anywhere near a laundry room, bathroom, or kitchen without a ton of false alarms.

Just this morning around 4AM I was woken up AGAIN by a false alarm from this thing.  Luckily the thing broke when I ripped it down from the living room ceiling so I have an excuse to change to a different brand.

While it's a good clock, I *really* dislike the fact that the "alarm gets louder" feature can't be tailored. Guess I should've paid more attention to the reviews.

Terrible Alarm!  Could not turn off.  Snooze did not work.  I'm sure mine was defective.  Kids use it as a flashlight.

I bought 2 of these and the actual alarm sound is no longer audible on either one. Whats the point of an alarm ckock if it cant wake you.

I thought it'd be hard to go wrong with a digital clock.
I bought two and am sorry for it. It isn't even worth it to send them back.
The alarm sounds that are available are terribly obnoxious, very computerized sounds. It is supposed to be touch sensitive and yet if there is a bump in the night it lights up suddenly and wakes me up.
The instructions suck, but I was able to figure out how to program it. Every time you touch a button it beeps, so if you want to reset it for your spouse who gets up at a later time-you will wake them by the beeping happening or you have to take it out of the room to do it.

I bought this clock to wake me up while I'm sleeping away from home. At first, I thought the alarm didn't work at all, but when I experimented with it, I found that when I was wide awake, the alarm was barely audible. Admittedly, my hearing is not great, but I do hear other alarms just fine, so this clock was definitely a disappointment. I would have given it just one star, but it does tell time well...

So this thing did not work out of the box.  The only way I could get the alarm to sound was if the unit was in "chime" mode as well - which I don't want.  The last thing I want is the chime beeping at me all day - I just want to either disarm the system & hear not alarm, or arm it & hear an alarm if triggered.

I e-mailed tech support with my issue & they basically said "read the manual for how to use & set up the unit".  When I e-mailed them back & told them I'd been through the manual several times & understood how it worked, they basically told me to send the unit back to them, at MY COST.  Really?

the product was easy to set up and very easy to use. However, I was quite disappointed when I heard the alarm. It was about as loud as my alarm clock.  I read another reviewer on Amazon who  complained that alarm was not loud and I though maybe he/she was exaggerating.  Once I heard the alarm go off during the test I knew the item would not work as a deterrent.  Certainly it is loud enough to wake the home owner at night; but, not loud enough to scare away the intruder or alert the neighbor. If the manufacturer redesign the system with ear piercing alarm that can scare away the intruder then it would be a low cost good alarm. Unfortunately it falls very short.

The worse thing is that besides the alarm being too low, it cuts the alarm off by itself after about minute without you having to press anything.  Also, the  nobs for for settings are very small and tough and imprecise, thus you find yourself realizing you are changing the time instead off setting alarm.

While the quiet secondhand sweep is great and the brief activating face light for quick time checks in the dark are good, I would not buy this again and I wish I didn't spend as much on it as I did. (1) The snooze is 4 minutes. In my experience, 9 minutes is average and 4 is hardly worth it. (2) There is nothing on the clock itself that indicates whether the alarm is on or off. This would be awful in a guest room or an AirBnB room. For myself, I still cant remember if the button should be up or down so I have no confidence (when Im sleepy) in an alarm being set and must set my phone alarm as back up. I don't want to think when Im trying to fall asleep. The whole reason to get this alarm was to get my phone out of my bedroom. (3) I missed the 30 day period to return it by 2 days, entirely my fault. I was called out of town and finally slept in my bed 2 nights in a row, and discovered this. The company is a machine with no flexibility on their return policy.

For sale - this alarm clock for $20, free shipping!

I can not set time or alarm.  I have read the directions and it still will not set.  Very unhappy with this product.  I don't think I will buy electronics from amazon again.

This product works well (pretty simple technology) but the alarm IS SO LOUD. It is such an annoying, shrill sound that wakes up everyone in the house.

Ugly and alarm was automatically set to 8 am and would blast the radio every day. I couldn't figure out how to change it and just had to dump it.
