Homedics Dual Alarm Digital FM Clock Radio Time Projection

Great clock. After having a Homedics clock for 15 years, the projector light finally gave out. I searched for a new one and came across the newer model. This one has a digital display for the radio vs my previous one, rotating the channel for radio. This one looks more modern and I actually like it. It does its job. Only thing is that the projector light is bright. But I will find a way to dim it with something. Got it for that reason but this light is bright. Radio signal is good too. Haven't tried the alarm but the sounds I love. Time setting was easy. It's also not too heavy. Easy to use. Projector light on and off is located on the bottom back of the clock. You can also dim the clock light or turn it off completely. I couldn't do that with my previous one. I had to use a cloth to cover the time since I had the time projected on the ceiling. Happy with the purchase and doesn't look cheaply made but light in weight.

I am delighted with this alarm clock. Once you learn how to use it, which is my only negative, then you have an amazing machine. I really like is that you can be awoken to 8 different sounds. I enjoy the ocean waves, I have a hard time finding that. Also I like that you can decrease the brightness of the clock by just pressing the snooze button. I usually turn it off, by pressing the snooze button, and when I want to see the time, I just press the snooze button once. I did have trouble fully understanding that you can set the volume for the machine and you also have to set the volume for the clock as well. They are 2 separate and that is the most confusing thing. So I typed instructions for myself and why not share with you. To turn on radio hit “power” button.. I think that is how to control volume.. hit “Power” then volume.. ( not sure if there is any other way to do volume? ) You can just just hear Fm only. For sounds press “power” then sounds and keep pressing the sounds button till you find the sound you like, there are like 7 sounds… Setting the time- press the “time set” button in the back and hold for 3 seconds, use the volume button to make the time earlier or later, then the minutes hit “time set” and the volume button, then if you press the “time set” button again, its for 12 or 24 hrs.. ( I like 12 hrs). (note, you can use the Volume button for making the time later or earlier, or the tuner button, whatever you want it works).. Setting the Alarm, we only need one alarm, so just press “alarm1” for 3 seconds and then use the volume or tuner button to adjust the clock.. then press the alarm button again and have a choice if you want it to be “sound” “beep” or radio, just press the volume button up or down to pick between sound, beep and radio. If you pick sound, you will need to press “sound” in the top to adjust what sound you want.. There are 2 sounds for the clock the sound you chose for the alarm, and the sound you pick for the machine. To set the sound level for the alarm---hold alarm 1 button for 3 seconds and it will blink the hour—press alarm button again and it will blink the minutes..Press alarm1 button again and it will show the sound- you can make it Fm, Sound or beep, if you make it sound just press “Sound” in the top right and you can pick which sound. Then final step, hold the Alarm1 button one more time and it will show you which volume of sound from 0-16. If you don’t do this final step, you will not be controlling the loudness of the alarm, so press Alarm1 that final time!!! Note- the one tricky thing is that when you are setting the alarm, the volume for the sound that comes on- again when you are setting the alarm, and hear the sound volume, you are hearing the sound volume for the machine, NOT the alarm sound volume. If they had been smarter they would have made you hear the alarm sound volume. Again, there are 2 different settings for the sound- 1- alarm sound, and 2- the sound of the machine in general. There are 2 separate sounds and 2 separate volumes, but for some silly reason the volume you hear when setting the alarm, is the volume of the machine, not the volume of the alarm. And 2 different volumes for the machine the alarm volume and the machine volume. So, you can have the volume of the machine off and the volume of the alarm on. So remember to press the alarm1 button one last time after you see the “sound setting”, so you can set the sound, this is something I was confused with.

The light of the clock is very bright. Even the lowest setting is way too bright. So I have to turn it off but then you cant see what time it is at night. The rest of the clock is good & easy to use.

This clock replaced a homedic i have had for over 20 years. it is designed a little different but function the same. I like this one. It functions the same as the old and is bright at night. the rtadio work well and the white noise is clear i would purchase again if I was looking for another. solid and well built good quality.

This is a neat little dual purpose clock. I absolutely love all of the features: clock, radio, alarm, sounds, projection. My kids also love the choices of sounds and love falling asleep to "campfire" at night. The sound quality for radio and sounds is great in my opinion. It's easy to use so I'm not sure why some say it's difficult, I didn't even have to read the manual it came with and figured out all the features easily, as did my elementary school aged kids. Like many reviews said, the display is very bright, like a nightlight and especially if you use the projection (can be switched on or off). For me this is not a problem because I use it in the kids room and they like a nightlight. If this was in my room, it would be a problem because it's just too bright. Yes, you can adjust the brightness, but then you can barley read the time. Which leads me to my biggest issue with the clock. Mine has a white backlight and the time is written in skinny black numbers. I have a hard time reading it from across the room and end up having to walk up to it to make out the time. The projection is easier to read for me because it projects in blue thicker numbers.. you can also adjust the focus. However, with regards to the projection, you can not switch the orientation, so the kids see the numbers upside down if projected onto the ceiling.

This is the second one of these after having the first for probably 15 years the unit worked but the adapter at the plug severed from use. I will be more careful with this one to not have it bending too sharply. This unit has mutiple sounds that you can select from, the time can be projected to the ceiling, there a volume control for those sounds, you can wake to an alarm of one of the sounds or to the radio. The display lights up if you select the top button to check the time or you can push it while it's off to have it stay on. Homedics makes other sound machines that are great for travel but this unit is the one you want for you room to use every night. I caneven sleep with my snoring husband thanks to this Clock/Radio?Sound Machinee that I HIGHLY recommend this product as I would NEVER sleep without it

This replaced an older one that lasted quite a while.. The main thing I got this for was the projection -- And that stopped working with him a month. And it's just too much trouble to send back something this relatively and expensiveAnd that stopped working with him a month. And it's just too much trouble to send back something this relatively and expensive three.

Looking for a new clock with nature sounds that I could fall asleep to and wake up to, this clock definitely fit the bill. There are a nice variety of sounds that don't seem like they are on a loop every 10 seconds and none of them are particularly jarring. If you can find one that works for you, you're set! I also like that you can dim the display so if you wake up in the middle of the night to look at the display you're not blinded by it. My only wish is that the control buttons lit up during the night: it's easy to hit the wrong button is you're trying to shut off the alarm (as opposed to hitting the snooze button!) And I wish the "rain" sound was more like, well, rain, rather than water running forcefully down a drain. Nit picky things to be sure, but overall I'm very happy with the purchase and you really can't beat the price!

Los números son de buen tamaño, ideal para poder ver la hora sin problemas. El cordón de la antena debe de estar extendido y bien colocado para que se escuchen en forma adecuada las estaciones de radio. Los sonidos de la naturaleza son bastante relajantes y se escuchan muy nítidos. El proyector de la pantalla no es muy útil.

Ceci est le meilleur réveil matin que j'ai eu. Facile utilisé plusieurs fonctions Le son et effets sonores très clair En plus luminosité ajustable en bleu non agressif la nuit. Projecteur multi-directionnel Service impeccable Je recommande cette achat et ce vendeur. Je suis très contente de mon achat :))

Love this clock. I suck at sleeping as I work night shifts and I also live in a basement suite. I bought this clock for the sounds and do they ever block out the footsteps upstairs! Best sleep ever. :)

Muy buena opción. La proyección de la hora en la pared es práctica y la luz no molesta en absoluto para dormir. Los sonidos son muy agradables y el hecho de que sea eléctrico resulta muy conveniente. No hay que estar al pendiente de las pilas. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra

This is a great clock radio. It is practical because the time can be projected on the ceiling or wall (making it easy to see what time it is) and it is fun because you can choose to wake up from a selection of different sounds (water, spa, etc.).
