Tools and Hardware Reviews of Geneva Clock Co 4584E Elgin Electric Alarm Clock
Customer Review: Will light the room even when turned on low
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace a 0.75" display clock radio I couldn't read at 4 inches from my face. While I don't miss the radio much, I **LOVE** the size of the numbers. I can read them from across the king size bed if I squint just a little. With my glasses on, I can read them accurately across the house (40'). They are huge and bright - score! 8-)
The down sides are:
o The display is BRIGHT, even on the dim setting. It will light up the room at night with a red glow.
o The clock is very light-weight. Either mount it on the wall or install some rubber stick-on feet (have to buy these separate). Trying to push the buttons without feet on will result in you pushing the clock around instead. This is "fun" while the alarm is waking up your late-to-bed spouse and a glass of water is also on the nightstand. ;-) Minus one star for this.
o If using as a desk clock, push the display forward until it clicks, otherwise it won't stay upright. The instructions don't mention this.
o Don't try to change the upright/flat setting all the time. Pick one and stick with it. If you keep it upright as a desk clock, lay the clock on its back at night if the light bugs you. Don't be pushing the display up and down. The way it's constructed, it'll break pretty fast.
o Mine is keeping rock-solid time after a month of service. The other posts complaining about time must have defective copies.
o The battery backup works as described: saves the time, but doesn't display it.
Ways to make it better:
o Include 6 rubber feet (Come on guys, how much would these have added to the final price - $0.05 or less?)
o Put a 6+oz metal lug in the bottom to give it enough weight to withstand a button push (turn off the alarm, not just snooze!)
o If the power is off, make pushing the snooze button display the time for two seconds.
I could add the following as ways to make it better, but then it wouldn't be $22:
o 24 hour time option
o play alarm sound from an MP3 (load via USB memory stick)
Critiques aside, I'm loving it. And did I mention it's big and bright?
