Home > Consumer Reviews > ELGIN TRAVEL ALARM CLOCK

Who cares about what it looks like, the whole purpose of an alarm clock is to make sure you wake up on time. This alarm isn't loud enough for heavy sleepers like me. I tried using this a couple of times and both times I ended up not hearing it, overslept, and was late for my college class. Which, btw, seriously ticked me off. I bought it because another reviewer had said the alarm was loud...sorry, but it's not.

It now sits unused in my desk drawer. Total waste of money.

I was glad I found this little clock on Amazon, because it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Elgin is a reputable name in timepieces. Unfortunately, the clock gained about 15 minutes every five hours! I tested it more than once. I was so disappointed. Had to return it. Still looking for something like it. I need something simple, folding, battery-operated, a clock that can keep accurate time (!) and with a light that comes on when pressed. Unfortunately, it was not to be with this one. I don't usually write reviews, but felt obligated to report my recent experience with this model.

This is a great little product, that does exactly what it is supposed to do. It's easy to use, easy to see, compact, and stylish. What else could you ask for at this price?

Described as a illuminated battery operated alarm clock was misleading. I wanted a small battery operated clock I could see the time clearly in the dark, without completely waking or pressing any buttons. Seems to be a functional travel alarm. Know that you cannot see the time in the dark without pressing the snooze button, which they say lasts 4 seconds illuminated.

SOOOOO EASY TO USE!!!! Finally a product that is user friendly!!! Even getting it out of the package was easy... Setting the time & alarm is sooooo simple! It stands up well - reads well - perfect size - alarm is just GREAT!!! Highly Recommend 5 stars!!! This is just what I wanted!!!!
