Tools and Hardware Reviews of Equity by La Crosse 40018 Insta-Set Alarm Clock
Customer Review: Ginormous Digits on a Bright, Digital Clock that You May Never have to Set
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this clock for 7 months and have only been happy with it.
I wanted a clock I could see in the middle of the night without putting glasses over my bad eyes. This has the size and brightness that enables such without the need to squint.
From any part of the room, I can merely glance at the clock without making any attempt to focus my eyes on it and still see the time much more than adequately well.
Set-up is ridiculously easy: simply plug it in and slide the time zone switch to your time zone. (This particular feature is only for those in the western hemisphere's Pacific through Eastern time zones.) The correct time will display without you having to set it. It keeps time internally even during power outages or if you unplug it and move it to another room.
You don't have to be in an area where the clock is required to receive radio waves from a central clock in Colorado in order to set or keep the correct time as (incorrectly named) "atomic" clocks do.
You can always override the displayed time if you're in another time zone or if the beginning and/or end of Daylight Saving Time changes or you're in an area that doesn't have DST.
I can't speak for the alarm function as I've never used it.
If the flashing colon (":") bothered me I'd stick a couple of small pieces of electrical tape over the offending areas (but it doesn't bother me and, in fact, I never noticed it until reading another review here).
If you DON'T want a bright clock with big numbers, don't get this one; find another. We're all different -- get what's right for YOU -- as this one is for me (I just bought a second of these for another room).
Addendum - 2008-01-13: I ordered a second, identical clock from Amazon and it arrived inoperable. I'm returning it for another of the same.
