Was kind of hesitant to take a chance on an “open box” product… So glad I did! The only thing that looked like it had been opened, WAS the box! Everything inside box was neattidy, like it hadn’t even been taken out of the inside packaging! I really like the clock itself, it’s very different than anything I’ve had before. Works perfectly..

I especially appreciate the adjustable brightness feature, it’s dim enough at night without being distracting. Overall, this is a reliable and practical digital clock that does exactly what it promises. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, functional alarm clock. Siham. Madison, AL.

Love the look and the radio functions GREAT. The only disappointment is the programming is very clunky, not intuitive at all. Every time you want to set the alarm to a different time, you need the instructions because the sequence isn't intuitive at all. Radio sounds great as well... it's not a Bose quality speaker system by any means, but I like to listen to jazz or sports talk as I get ready and it's easily loud enough and clear at good volume for that..

The clock works just as the listing says it should. It is nice and compact (2 1/2" square, as described), well-assembled (no gaps in the seams), the low-luminescence setting is good and the back is not visually distracting (as was the case with similar products). One note for potential buyers: the front, top and sides of the "black" clock are actually wood-grained charcoal grey plastic. Only the back is black. I will keep it because the clock's size, design and functionality were my priorities. I would buy it again, but I would have liked to have based my purchase on a more accurate description of the color... Linda. Poulsbo, WA. Mon Dec 15 2025
