Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elgin Folding Travel Alarm Clock, Black
Customer Review: Fantastic Design......Abysmal Execution
Summary: 1 Stars
I went to the Amazon.com site to explore the vast amount of travel alarm clocks that they offer. My first impression after reading the reviews was that there are many to choose from but that they all seem to be, shall we say, lacking. Having said that, I picked one in which I liked the features and plunged in. I loved the design of this travel alarm clock because the blue bar to press in order to illuminate the clock is big and in the front and it lights up in a blue color. If you can't find that button and can't read those big numerals you would have to be blind lol When I received it I just loved the design and ease of setting it. Then the problems started. When I closed the lid and reopened it the time was no longer correctly set. It always went to 12 midnight. After fiddling around with it to find the problem, it seemed that the cover that slides over the batteries doesn't hold the batteries in so that the batteries make a constant connection. I gave it to my husband to jerry-rig it by putting a layer of something in it to press the batteries against the connectors (it doesn't have springs to function in that way). It worked for a while but then crumbed on me again. My husband took another look at it and was out in the sunshine and noticed that three of the four screws on the bottom were missing. They are tiny and painted black so no one noticed it before. Naturally we thought that was the problem so he headed down to the electronics store not far from us that he frequents and and found three screws to put in it. You'd think that would work, but no. So he put a band of plastic in place with the two screws that are on the same side as the battery compartment and slipped another smaller band under that so there was pressure on the battery compartment. NOW it works. Whew! The only reason I didn't send it back was because I love the design and according to the reviews it's six of one and a half dozen of another. And hubby was willing and able to give it a go. Sad but true, like it says in large lettering on the back, "Made in China". Chinese POS and everything seems to come from China. BUYER BEWARE.
