Oregon Scientific Classic Radio Controlled Projection Alarm Clock, White, 10 x 4 x 14 cm

Bought it as a part of birthday present for my husband who wanted a new alarm clock. He wanted a radio controlled one as it saves him time to adjust summer/winter time. He also liked that it offers multiple alarms for weekdays and weekends which is very convenient as you don't need to change all the time. We also like that you can use it with mains cable or batteries depending what you prefer. We actually use both, connected to mains but inside batteries in case of power cut. A really great feature is the time projection to the wall, especially at night as easy to read. I know my husband would have chosen the boring black colour as always, but I don't like black, the silver looked more grey on the pictures, so I ordered the white one and I'm really pleased with it too as it looks elegant.Not really a cheap alarm clock but certainly worth it.

This is a great clock. The time projects clearly on the ceiling and should it be a bit fuzzy at first this can be remedied by using the 'focus wheel' on the back of the clock. No brightness in the room. If you wake up in the middle of the night a quick glance at the ceiling and if not time to get up you can just turn over and drift back off! No rummaging around to look at mobile phones etc and no bright lights from traditional clock radios. All adds up to a better nights sleep. Alarm is totally fine - have not slept through it yet! Best bedroom alarm clock I've ever had - would totally recommend it !

I only bought this for the projection function as my alarm needs are met by Alexa. It's extremely useful in my bedroom where I can now see the time without having do any more than open my eyes during the night. It's fine in daylight but is practically invisible in artificial light. As that's not when I need it, it doesn't really matter to me though. In the dark the projection is sharp and clear on the wall, showing numbers about 40cm high. Being red means that there's very little light leaching from the projection into the room so it doesn't interfere with sleep at all. In fact, the red light on the unit is brighter! It would have been good if this had been shielded better: the whole projection unit glows red and I'm sure that could have been avoided with a little thought. The connection to the atomic clock is stable and effective.I'm generally very pleased with this clock but have docked a star due to the lack of a 90º turn for positioning the projection. You can only flip it through 180º which can make it a little awkward to get in exactly the right spot.

Every time. Set the clock it gos back an hour every night but apart from that annoying fact it's rather good.

Packaged well, instructions good, very easy to set up and works perfectly. The projected display is clear and bright and easy to position front or back but cannot be projected sideways - you would have to turn the clock to face a side position. This didn't bother me. Extremely pleased.

It works perfectly fine for 2 weeks but one day it stops. The signal is completely dead. I sent the seller a message regarding the matter and told me what to do. I did and it works for some minutes and then dead again. So I decided to send it back. I got refunded but I haven't received it yet via paypal. All in all, not happy with my purchase.

Not very effective

Isn't it wonderful to just roll over and look at the ceiling for the time?! A bit fiddly with settings alarm clocks and one realizes that one should have only one alarm on at a time ( not like the mobile phone where they are on concurrently and ring on the right day. This is because alarms are only by time and no features for tying the second alarm to the weekend etc. You'll have to mess about with the buttons to find the functions. The instructions are sparse both in the paper and online.
