Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elgin Travel Alarm Clock
Customer Review: No frills, loud alarm clock
Summary: 3 Stars
As others have noted, this is a no frills alarm clock that is easy to set and does what it's supposed to do. If you want an attractive clock, this is not the one for you. The plastic looks cheap, and it was slightly bulkier than I expected. My only real issue with it was the alarm. I prefer my initial alarm sound to be a gentle peep that gradually increases in intensity--I don't want my alarm disturbing the hotel guest in the next room. This is loud and obnoxious from the start. If you're a deep sleeper, the Elgin Travel Alarm Clock is the one for you.Customer Review: Elgin travel alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an Elgin that I bought at a military exchange in Germany back in '05. I really loved that alarm, but misplaced it sometime between then and now. I bought this, hoping that it would be comparable. It's larger than the old one but works just as well. I initially gave this a poor review because the light wouldn't work. When I changed out the included batteries for a fresh set, it worked. It went all over Iraq with me and functioned perfectly. I highly recommend this alarm, just be aware that you should probably replace the batteries immediately.Customer Review: Okay for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a pretty decent little alarm clock. It's been reliable. The sound of the alarm is a beep which is loud enough to wake you without being too jarring. I absolutely love the indigo lighted display which is easy on the eyes. The button to turn on the indigo display is a great size and centrally located, but I don't like how small and cumbersome the other buttons are. Even though the unit is small, I feel the design of the other buttons could have been a little more user friendly for the sleepy, often one-eye-open user of the clock.Customer Review: small & does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great little clock, weighs almost nothing & takes up very little space. The stand on the bottom can fold over to protect the buttons & keep from draining the battery while it is packed. I love the bright blue face, but you won't see it unless you hit the oval button on the front. It stays lit up for 1 second, that's it! I wish the light up feature lasted 5 or 10 seconds instead. Snooze button will give you 4 minutes, that's it. Almost not worth hitting the snooze button for. But it works & the price is right.Customer Review: A total waste of money for me
Summary: 1 Stars
Who cares about what it looks like, the whole purpose of an alarm clock is to make sure you wake up on time. This alarm isn't loud enough for heavy sleepers like me. I tried using this a couple of times and both times I ended up not hearing it, overslept, and was late for my college class. Which, btw, seriously ticked me off. I bought it because another reviewer had said the alarm was loud...sorry, but it's not.
It now sits unused in my desk drawer. Total waste of money.
