Westclox Retro Wood Style Easy To Read Super Bright Small Night Table Ascending Alarm Clock 22690.

I had the previous version that lasted at least 27 years. How I wish I bought 2 at the time. This one is similar, but there was nothing like the original. The knobs are bigger on top. My first one, the on and off switch broke, but I was still able to slide it. I hope this one is the same. I am trying to be careful, but with plastic, you never know. After my Original one broke for good, I had a temporary replacement that I hated. It was overly bright and did not have a Snooze button....No Snooze Button !!!....Forget it. I could not wait to get this one. It is not as Bright as the last one with no Snooze button, but I guess they are all that way now, brighter. But it is good for me because I can see the time without my glasses on. I miss the Original Alarm. This one is annoying with the different beeps, but, it gets me up eventually within 1/2 hour...does the job so far. It is well packaged with screw on feet attached to the box...amazing...I do hope it lasts a long time because it is very affordable and the last one was so reliable.

It’s loud, it’s red, and it’s annoying as heck when you’re trying to sleep.It’s exactly what you want it to be for an alarm clock.

This awful little thing has been a nightmare. It is wickedly bright and undimmable. The alarm goes off every day, even when turned off. We’ve used it 6 months (after buying a dark tint film to apply to the front) and can take it no more…it’s going in the trash. This is the last Saturday morning this beast is waking me up at 5am.

Great little clock but the alarm isn't loud enough for me.

I purchased this as I wanted a small, digital clock that could be placed on a shelf and read across the room. As I only needed a basic, robust clock I wanted a old-style unit that would last. As this is a "name-brand" and appeared in the ad to match what I had in mind I got it. It's not quite what I expected. It's lightweight, and feels a bit flimsy. I'm not using the alarm but the switch feels cheap, the buttons are fine. It uses a AA battery and not a 9V for battery backup, and the fit of the door was poor. It is *BRIGHT*, the other reviews about that are spot-on. I noticed it humming this morning, the transformer is visible through vents on the bottom and is of clearly cheap construction.Basically this clock is value-engineered to the minimum and is not as robust as it's ancestors. I don't expect it to last. Way too bright for a bedroom, I even think it's too bright for my living room. The cost is too high for this level of value-engineering.Apparently the Westclox factory burned down in 2012. Pay no attention to the name, the name you remember died over 10 years ago.

My dad’s early 80’s alarm clock finally kicked the bucket (ai thought they were immortal!). He asked if I had anything with just a clock and an alarm. I told him I had an echo with a clock, an echo with a screen, a phone holder that turns your phone into a clock (with alarm!) and he said “No! just a clock and alarm! I gave it to him and I haven’t seen him this happy to receive a gift (he’s “thrifty” to say the least) in a long long time! Great purchase!Simple setup, real buttons, and can get loud. It’s smaller than the original, but that’s okay! It still looks straight out of the 80’s!

Display is to bright and cannot be dimmed

Simple alarm clock. Works.
