Q&A(72)
Q: Does anybody else's alarm clock hum, or did I just get a bad one? I'm going to return it, but don't know if I should buy the same one or a different one.
A: Mine hums but the hum is barely noticeable. The hum is does not outweigh the good of the features and I would still recommend the product.

Q: is it electric and what are the measurements
A: There is a place for the battery on the bottom of the clock. Note that while it is on battery backup, the time will not display, so as not to use up the battery. However, it will hold the time and alarm settings even though you don't see a display.
submitted byLinda R - 5 years agoA: Don't believe everything you read here. It has a battery backup to keep settings in case of power outage.
submitted byEddie - 7 years agoA: I do not recommend this clock. It is big (7 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 3 1/2). It has very big red numbers, which flash whenever the power goes off. No battery can be attached, so your wake-up time is gone unless you reset everything from default.
submitted bydissapointed - 9 years agoA: And Yes, its electric (funny that's not mentioned). The measurements Maineiac gave sound right - the two I bought are at my 94 yo mom's - with diminshed eyesight and no patience for learning new complicated electronic things, this clock was great for her.
submitted bymoms daughter - 9 years agoA: Measurements: 7" wide x 3" deep x 3 1/4" high. Numbers are nice and big. Very easy to set.

Q: I need to be able to see the time at night from a distance. Can you?
A: No, not very well. I'm very nearsighted, and the numbers are big but they are faded at every joint which defeats the purpose of the big letters. It looks like a blob of orange. I have to squint hard to make out the numbers because of the fading.
submitted byShan - 2 years agoA: This clock has a large, bright display that is easy to see in a dark room.
