DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock with USB Port for Charging

All the features work perfectly. Just discovered I can't deactivate the alarm for vacations etc!

Love how you can change the colors of this clock, it’s bold and bright numbers. I can see it across the room, especially at night. Great product for the price and very functional. I don’t use it as an alarm so not sure how it sounds. Easy to set up-instructions are simple. Very sturdy.

has large numbers and adjustable brightness, with five levels to choose from. it's easy to set up and interact with. worth the purchase for a simple alarm clock. it can only be placed its bottom and is not capable of wall mounting.

I don't normally write reviews this quickly, but this alarm clock impressed me. The purpose of this clock is to replace my phone alarm and to not have a phone by my cranium at night. It's just the right size, with a large enough display for aging eyes. There's nothing hugely technical about the clock, it just tells time and has one alarm time ~ purely practical. What is sweet is the display brightness can be adjusted. Like the brightness, the alarm volume can be adjusted. Buttons on the back for the settings feel solid, not cheap. The clock doesn't have a clue what the date or day of the week it is, so you will want to disable the alarm when needed. While there is a generous snooze feature, I sort of wish they had an alarm off button on top. The clock is powered by a small transformer that generates a 5VDC source, a cable then plugs into the back of the clock. A pair of AAA batteries can be used to store clock settings. I've used it well over a week already. It's simple and effective. I cannot comment on the durability, it feels like a solidly built product and seems like it will last. I'd feel more confident with a standard cord and have the power supply within the clock. ⏰

My severely myopic eyes require large numbers, but the Timex large number alarm clock/radio I used previously (purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond) was ridiculously complicated to operate and set. I dreaded time changes, and who needs that kind of anxiety from...a clock? Plus it was very large in comparison to this DreamSky. Having a radio in a clock in the age of the smart phone really isn't necessary (not to mention I don't listen to music at night or need it to get up by). This DreamSky, which I found evaluated on Wire Cutter, is, with one small technical issue, the best electronic alarm clock I've ever had. It performs 2 basic functions: 1) it tells the time, in big, easy to see letters, and 2) it has an alarm. That's it. Plus this clock is minimalist in size: about 1/6 the size of the old one and thus doesn't clutter my night stand. Yet the numbers are 2 inches high! I can still read it from across the room. It's much easier to set, and both the volume and brightness are easily adjusted by intuitive controls on the back. A lot of clocks like it don't have those functions. I wish I had one of these clocks years ago, and for the price ($18.99) this was truly an excellent buy. So...why am I giving it 4 stars instead of 5? One of the reviews I read said that the plug-in stuck out from the wall and made it difficult to mount this clock behind something close to the wall. Well...that review is accurate. The plug sticks out 2 inches from the wall (I measured). If one desires to place this clock on a dresser that covers an outlet, this means one's dresser can't be even reasonably close to the wall. My current set up is not affected by this, but I can see where it could be for many. Thus this is the one caveat for an otherwise excellent, space-saving, easy-to-use clock. I hope DreamSky fixes this issue because this really is a great clock. Despite my caveat then, I give this clock my highest recommendation. This remains the best alarm clock I’ve ever had. After 1 year it still works great. Yet I stand by my one criticism and 4-star rating based on the jutting wall plug.
