I'm amazed such a simple product can help travel so much. Even when a hotel has a clocks it's convenient to have your own and be sure things are set as expected. This clock is great for travel, easy to set, and easy to read in a strange environment. Hit the big blue button and a gentle back light shows time in BIG numbers, then gently fades away. The alarm is loud enough, but not annoying.

For the money this little clock is a pretty good buy. The numbers are large and easy to read, the time and alarm are straightforward and easy to set, the alarm starts out softly and gets louder until you push the snooze or turn it off, and the dial lights up at night nicely when you push the snooze button. It also unfolds to create a stand for the clock. It's compact when folded for travel, but the cover is cheaply made. I'm not sure how well it will hold up under abuse, I would feel compelled to wrap it in a sock or something in a suitcase.

All in all for the money it has everything I need for a travel alarm clock and it keeps good time so far, too.

sent this to son in the navy. space and reliability needed and ease of use and it was all of those. on a ship space is limited so great product. score one for mom

This little travel alarm is just what I needed. Small, easy to see and use and the alarm is just right. Not too loud, plesant. Love it.

So, this clock woke me up alright! The snooze didn't work, and then I couldn't turn it off! I had to rip the batteries out of it to get it to stop...It is very cheaply made (explains the price I guess), but yeah it works just fine as long as you don't need to use the snooze ever.
