This review is from: Advance Black Electric QA Alarm ClockIf you're looking for an electric analog alarm clock you already know that there are very few in the market to choose from. You must avoid any that have a battery because, while you think the battery is for back-up, it isn't; the battery runs the clock, the plug-in runs the light (unless they otherwise note and I haven't found that). So, I bought four different clocks through Amazon. The Advance Electric, the Equity and the Westclox all light the dial by a small bulb near one of the numbers on the dial, either the 4 or the 9. Of these, the Westclox is the least obtrusive. The problem for me was the relative brightness of the bulb. It's not glaring on any of them, but it is bright in a dark room. Only the Chaney back-lighted the entire dial and the diffusion of light that way was more subtle and restful. The Chaney has a smaller area devoted to the clock face numbers. Depends on how myopic you are as to whether that's a problem. The trade off is a little brighter dial with a pinpoint of light in the room versus a smaller clock face that is gently back-lighted. All of them kept time accurately in the short testing I did before selecting the Chaney for my side and giving my wife her choice of the others for her side....
This review is from: Advance Black Electric QA Alarm ClockThis clock ticks. It's an electric alarm clock to sit on the nightstand but it ticks annoyingly with the seconds hand. Why? Unless you like that. Another con is that the time and alarm adjustment knobs are not just an odd shape but also can move very easily when reaching / grasping the clock to hit the snooze button--and moving the alarm setting.Otherwise, the styling is good. The lighted dial is bright and, with a black case, the whole clock doesn't glow unnecessarily. Prompt shipment and delivery....
This review is from: Advance Black Electric QA Alarm ClockThis Advance Black Electric Alarm Clock is much less than expected or hoped for. The alarm is a very soft beep that would be far less than adequate for many sound sleepers. This is certainly not the kind of loud gangling or buzzer sounds that electric alarm clocks are typically known for. The container states that the hour and minute hands are luminous: NOT! Whatever phosporesent substance might have been applied is completely degraded and non-responsive, even to direct flouresent light for 10 continuous minutes. The alarm setting hand is poorly calibrated to the actual alarm and must be set at least 10-20 minutes before the desired time for the alarm to sound when hoped for. The power cord is attached to the back of the clock just beneath the setting dial-button for the alarm, making it very awkward and uncomfortable to set the alarm without turning the clock upside down so that the cord falls away from the button. The so-called illuminated face is actually a ghastly (ghostly) green diode-type light in the lower right corner of the clock face which casts a ghastly green glow throughout the entire room in which the clock is located. A really bad, bad design. Overall, the purchase of this clock was a very poor investment, despite the low price. Amazon.com would do well to discontinue this item in order to avoid the customer disappointment that will surely come about as the result of future sales; any past praises notwithstanding; and also to advise the manufacturer of customer disappointments and complaints. Hopefully, the overall design might be improved. As is, there is no way that this Advance Alarm Clock can be recommended, as it will certainly prove to be a most regrettable purchase....
