Side by Side Comparison of: Electrohome vs DreamSky

I love this little clock radio! If you follow the instructions carefully, it's quite easy to set up just the way you like it. Some people have complained about the brightness of the display; however, I don't have any problem with it at all. You're given a choice of quite bright (good for reading the clock in daylight), dimmed (good for reading the clock in darkness), and completely off (just black). So if the dimmed setting were too bright to sleep by (which it isn't for me), I would simply set the display to "off" and, if I wanted to check the time during the night, I would just tap the dimmer button and, voila!, there's the display. Tap it again, and the display is dimmed. Tap it once more, and the display is all black again. I also appreciate the small footprint of this clock radio. It doesn't take up nearly as much space as my previous clock radio did. I think this is an excellent product and am very happy I bought it!

I bought this clock after our old one, different brand, stopped working. After reading reviews I was a little worried but purchased it anyway. It was fairly easy yo set up. I did need to follow the directions to set the dual alarms. (Sorry folks, but reading directions is needed! We are so used to things being so automatic that we forget how important directions are.) Anyway, once that was set, things have been great! My only complaint is how bright it is. It is very bright on the second setting. Level one will let up the room, two my side of the room, and three no light at all. I wish there was a level between two and three, but that is a personal preference. It has nothing to do with how well the clock works, etc. I gave it five stars because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. The alarm is loud and can scare the pants off of you! This is my only warning! 🙂

This is the perfect alarm clock for me! It does EXACTLY what I want and no more. It is compact, easy to read, and relatively easy to set up. The only thing I had to get used to was the brightness of the display. My old clocks were pretty dim so I could leave the display on all the time. This is backlit so brightly that it can function as a night-light (which helps me get into bed without stubbing my toe). The manufacturer wisely put the dimmer right on top of the unit so you can dim it or shut off the display with a quick tap or two. But how do you know what time it is in the middle of the night? That's the best part! That little projector that shoots onto the ceiling TOTALLY WORKS. I thought that might be gimmicky but both my wife and I love it! You just pop your eyes open and look at the ceiling for the time. Very very nice. Finally, the radio has just one station programmed for your alarm. Most other clocks have multiple presets for the radio. But this is NOT a clock radio - is it an alarm clock that allows you to wake up to the radio. I NEVER used those presets on my old clocks. This unit is simple, clean, efficient - perfect.

I was looking for an alarm clock with larger numbers in blue. Most alarm clocks have smaller numbers in red, or sometimes green. But I wanted blue because it's the most pleasant to read in the dark upon waking.I saw that this was the best seller and met my requirement of blue lighting and larger numbers.As an added bonus, there's an "arm" on the left side of this that projects the current time onto your ceiling, wall, etc (wherever you aim it). You can opt to not turn the projection on, but I like it. It's great. The projected time is in red. I wish it was blue but not a huge deal.Also as a bonus, the front display shows the room temperature in either C or F. (There's a small temp probe sticking out of the back of the unit.)The time sets automatically but you can manually adjust it to.I saw some bad reviews and was a little worried but I've this for a couple weeks and it's been trouble-free. I'm going to order another one to stick in the closet in case they stop making this (though I'm not sure why they would).My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to make the projection blue, but it's not enough of a shortcoming to knock a star off the rating.

Love the projected time because the clock face is waaay too bright even on lowest dim setting. But the Projected Time on the ceiling is the bomb! Not bright and there for you to see while you're laying down. Don't have to fight covers, pillows, pets, or wife to get up to see the time on the clock across the room. I did order some Dim It light dimming sheets for the clock radio to try out so that it will be easier to see the time during the day or when the light is on. (Currently have the dim setting to "no display") because it is just way too bright. I'd give this 4 stars because of that, but the projected time makes up for it.

This is an awesome alarm clock! I was actually searching for an alarm clock that would wake me up in the morning with the radio, and I am so happy found this. In addition to having the radio option, it also has a thermometer function for your room. A very useful option in my opinion, is the dual alarm setting; being able to set two separate alarms ensures that I don't sleep thru by accidently turning off the first. And the nap function is very convenient when I feel like taking a quick power nap.The feature that I was not particularly looking for, but turned out to such an incredible tool, was the Time Projection! It is so awesome to not have to turn towards the alarm clock to see the time in the event of waking up in the middle of night, and wondering how much longer I can stay in bed for lol. My mom saw the projection feature and had me order her one the same day!

seems like just what the neighbor wanted, a dual alarm clock that is easy to set and read. Fast Prime shipping made it happen.

Finally - a small bedside radio that the stations come in on! I don't like to have to wait for a computer to warm up for streaming, so I want to just hit a button (or have it turn on automatically).

clock radio is what I expected the main reason I picked this one was the external antenna .other clock radios do not have this the channels I listen too when the alarm goes off are weak and this radio pulls them in . the other features are a plus also

Not sure why others found this so complicated to set. You do have to actually sit down with the clock and read the instructions and follow them step-by-step to get it set up. I didn't find it that complicated. The instructions could be written a little better. I was looking for a clock radio small enough so my cats won't step on it and reset it all the time. So far so good. It's a nice compact little clock radio with a nice large display. The one negative thing I would say is that the display is a little brighter than the one I was used to even on its dimmest setting. So for those who like their room totally dark I wouldn't recommend it you will be annoyed. But assuming you are looking for a big display guessing your eyesight isn't so great and therefore also need a brighter display to see it at night without the glasses. I also love that the antenna is separate from the cord and therefore has much better reception. Also has a decent speaker and presets about 20 stations. So for those of us who want to wake up to the radio you can just select one of the preset stations you like. I haven't used the buzzer so have no idea how loud it is or isn't.

I purchased this for a friend who wanted something small for her office. It's the perfect size to fit on her desk. She says that it is clear and works great for what she needs. I would recommend it.

Best radio alarm clock ever! I bought this clock for my 10 year old daughter who wanted to wake up to music. It works great. You can set the stations with digital buttons. I am buying another one for myself because my few year old clock has a dial for the radio and I never could get stations to come in. The great part about waking to music is not only is it a more relaxed way to wake up but you can set the volume so the whole house does not wake up ( which was happening with my old alarm with the loud beep ) . Slim design is also great -- takes up little room on the night table and it has easy to read numbers without our glasses on. Highly recommend.

I really like this clock. I had fun figuring out the various functions and it didn't take long to set up. Instructions were easy to follow as well.I set this up just over my bed. The radio plays quite well and can be very loud yet clear. However, because I'm used to quiet I find that even on the lowest volume it is still a bit too loud for me. The alarm is a real wake up call..loud...I am still trying to figure out how to reset the time for the alarm. Everything else work great.I love the fact that there is the time projection for on the roof or wall so I don't have to get up to see the time, simply roll over and look up.This clock-radio is what it says and does what it says. Great product.

After looking for a clock radio that has AM radio I was pleased to find this one. The radio works well. I live in an area that gets poor reception and the stations come in clearly.. a big plus!I like being able to tell the temperature of the room and the way the clock set itself to Eastern Daylight Savings Time without me having to do a thing.I found the device to not be very intuitive when it came to setting the alarms and stations. You need to read the directions carefully and go step by step in order to figure it out. However, it works as it should. Just keep the directions next to the radio in case you forget what to do.

Very cool clock. I replaced an older projector clock with this one. This is a major upgrade. Also, the projection is very sharp after focusing.User observations: 1: R (and save) TFM! This is not a user friendly machine to set up; you will need to read the directions. 2: The clock does not sync with the atomic clock - mine came about 7 minutes off after adjusting for my time zone - had to change that, 3: It will not effectively wake a heavy sleeper (such as myself)... 3a: It is very polite with the "buzzer"; 1 short beep per second for 1st 10 seconds, 2 per for next 10 seconds, etc. 'til you have a bee in your ear. 4: The radio is a nice function to listen to while doing other stuff (mono-aural, no output for better sound system) 5: Don't buy a 9 volt battery for this; it takes a button battery for backup (included in mine). That surprised me as I had bought 9 volts for it. My err. 6: I purchased a second one as a travel clock. I'm that impressed overall.

It's a pretty good clock overall.Pros:1) Love the time projection on the wall at night. My vision is less than perfect, and it is very convenient to look on the wall to see the time easily, in the middle of the night.2) It is a nice compact size. Doesn't take up too much room on my shelf.3) Lots of great features to serve your many needs.Cons:1) Backup battery lid is screwed on super tight, and was very hard to get off. I wanted to take it off to see what the battery looked like, and it was a pain in the neck to remove the lid. I had to use a mini screw driver and a rubber kitchen grip, and apply lots of force.2) Way too many confusing buttons. I need the owner's manual next to me to remember how to use all the features.Note: When I 1st tested the radio alarm, I noticed the music came on way too quiet, not loud enough to wake me up. For this reason, I was about to return this item. But then I realized, the radio alarm starts out quiet, and gets progressively louder as the minutes pass. So, the volume worked out being fine for me, despite my initial opinion.

The device is decent. I haven't had any trouble with it and it does what it says it does. That's not why I felt compelled to write this review though.I want to bring to shoppers' attention that a while after I purchased this product, ShopTronics, the seller, emailed me a form letter asking that I write a review of the Electrohome Projection Alarm Clock on Amazon in return for a 1 year extension of the product's warranty. And once I do that to fill in a form on a linked website to get the extension. The form on their website has a spot for the review text, the star rating given, and some instructions include the following lines of text:"The star rating of your review has no impact on your extended warranty."but then"7) Complimentary extended warranties will only be given for reviews that are deemed helpful and constructive. Any reviewer that meets all standards will receive an email notification with the Extended Warranty Confirmation."which is leading. Now, granted nowhere do they actually say leave them a good review or a review of a certain number of stars. But who would give them a negative or even mediocre review and then turn around and ask them for a gift? And would such reviews be considered helpful and constructive? I don't know. I believe though this is effectively buying good customer reviews with a small bonus, which ought to reflect poorly on them and is against Amazon's review guidelines.Again, the device is decent, but just keep the above in mind while looking at the reviews.

I've had this alarm clock for almost a month now and for the most part, am pleased with my purchase. The dual alarms are convenient; one time for M-F and another for weekends without having to manually change the setting every week. I know the time is always accurate - I can rest secure even if there's a power failure that I will get up on time. It's compact size doesn't take up too much room on the night stand. The red ceiling projection light is soft and non-disturbing, yet it does the job. The radio is just a convenient plus and use it to listen to weather forecasts.My one complaint is that the display light for the front of the clock is too bright, even in its 'dim' setting. It lights up my entire night stand - like having a 'night-light' plugged in. It's a bother on sleepless nights. When you turn it away from you, the ceiling projection is sideways. On the bright side, (pun intended), I don't have to switch on a light if I make a bathroom trip in the middle of the night. This bothersome feature is why I gave it a 4-rating instead of a 5. Perhaps Magnasonic can work on improving this feature.

Works great, the instructions are fairly easy to follow, but they could use an editor who is fluent in English (typos, missing words, etc.). Other than that, the volume range is fantastic compared to other alarms I've had and the dual alarms are a must have.

Keeps good time, radio stays tuned to desired channel--but it's weirdly hard to turn off. Bought 2 and had to return one because it frustrated my husband to the point where he just wanted to get rid of it.

It is working pretty good as of Saturday - 5-06-2017. It is as describe by seller. It would be nice if it were a little bigger.

I'm happy. Wanted an AM alarm clock with a snooze feature, dimmable display, ease of use: control buttons marked well and almost intuitive- directions easy to process...and I think this pretty much covered the bases. Sound quality is worth the price...(Hey, you're not looking for a sound system here! It's an alarm clock radio, and fairly priced.) This puppy takes up very little space, which is good; one improvement might be to weight it a bit more for stability on a bed-stand.)

It's a good little radio alarm clock. Most alarm clocks are so simple you really dont have to look at the instructions. This one you do have look at the instructions because its a little bit confusing setting the stations. After setting the stations and/or the alarm a couple of times you will get the hang of it. After all it's just a radio alarm clock not rocket science.The owner emailed me to ensure I liked their product. I appreciate that type of customer service.

I order two clocks, one for my self, the other for my wife. Both of us are retiring our old clocks that have fallen of our night stands once to many time. I especially like the size, they are not going to easily fall of the night stand. The deliver was on the appointed date, and the items were well packed, without any worry of damage. The only down side of the clocks is moving from plan old single alarm clock is they are a little more complex to operate. I would recomed them, but be prepared to read the direction on how to set alarms/

I bought this alarm clock because of all the great reviews but after using it I wish I had just gotten a cheap basic one. It isn't a bad clock, but I didn't think it was amazing. The one nice thing I like about it is I can set it to work Monday through Friday and not worry about turning it off. These are the things I don't like about it:- the clock face light is so extremely bright I found it to be too bright in the night for me.- when I turned it to the soft light, I can't read it from my dresser and have to rely on the projector- the projector only works in two directions so if you want the clock facing you on your nightstand, the time projected on the ceiling will be sideways- the projector doesn't work on sunny days especially for me because in the summer it gets light for me around 4am- the radio on its softest volume is too loud for me. I was disappointed that I couldn't get it lower

This clock has very nice functions but is complicated to use. It's a learning curve do how to operate the alarm clock but once you get it, you would like it.This is my second projection clock and the projector stopped working in less than a year: shows a wrong time that couldn't be changed and later won't display right. Seems like this kind if projection clock has a short life or maybe that's why they ask you to buy the protection plan...I will try a different product.

I work nights and sleep during the day, so I have my room set up with blackout curtains, and it's generally pretty dark in there - but there's still a little light the bleeds in around the curtains. This clock is set up about 15 feet away from the wall I project it onto. I did that so that the numbers would be very large, so I and my wife can read them without glasses (the farther away you project, the larger the numbers). This distance is clearly within the design specs of the unit, because the projector has a focus knob on it, and my projection comes into focus somewhere in the middle of the range.The display is dim enough to be kind of difficult to read in my blacked-out daylight conditions. If I open the curtains just a little bit and let any light into the room, the projected display is not visible at all. Even in the dead of night, it isn't all that bright - but you can see it.I understand that, to make this display brighter, they would have to have a laser that is really bright that potentially shines across a path people cross, and could hit some people in the eyes. So it's a compromise. All I'm saying, is that if you want a really good solution for viewing the time without your glasses, get a large, backlit face clock and hang it on the wall.

I like everything about this clock except for the fact that the time is not accurate. It is 4 minutes off from the correct time according to my iPhone and Alexa. 4 minutes slow. After reading the one star reviews (unfortunately I read those AFTER I ordered the clock) I realized that this is a known problem, possibly due to the fact that the time is factory set and the clock isn't atomic.I will most likely be returning this clock, incorrect time is a deal breaker for me.Projection works nicely, I was able to program both alarms by following the instructions. Radio sound is a bit tinny but to be expected as this is a small radio.

This clock radio has a lot of nice features: Auto adjustment, dual alarms that can be independently set up to either turn on the radio or buzz. The ceiling projector is nice, too. It has a wire for the indoor temperature sensor, so it can be placed more stategically. For example, my clock is located below my air conditioner, but the sensor is picking up the temperature in front of my dresser, away from the direct air flow of the air conditioner. For a non-premium clock radio, the sound is pretty good. Not high fidelity by any means, but a lot better than I usually hear from similar radios in the price range. So, why three stars? Well, first of all, the main reason I wante a large numbers clock was so I could see the time without my glasses. While the display is larger than most, it still isn't that large. The projection display also is not that big, but I can aim it to be closer. At a distance of approximately 6 feet, I cannot clearly read the numbers without my glasses. Closer than that is fine. Of course, this depends on how bad or good one's vision is. The other thing is that the auto setting for the brightness of display doesn't seem to adjust. In fact, it makes the display barely visible, even in the dark. Perhaps I have a defective one. However, I have not found either the low or high settings to produce disturbing light at night. Finally, the auto set has set the clock 2 minutes behind my other auto-set devices. It can be changed manually, but it seems odd that it is two minutes off. But, I'm one of those crazies who tries to get every clock in the house to change at the same time.

The one comment that is echoed in several reviews is that the display digits are too bright. Well, I have to say the reviews have really understated the situation.First of all, it needs to be known that the display has a switch to control brightness. There is a "Bright" (or "Normal") position, a "Dim" position and an "Off" position. When in the "Off" position, you can still just barely see the digits in the day but you have to look very close.So the big complaint has been that the "Dim" position is still too bright. So how bright is it? Well, let's just say that I can see everything in my bedroom without turning on any lights. And since this little flashlight is sitting on my headboard, you can certainly understand why this is annoying as heck.But there is another annoying design flaw in this product. The radio is not digitally tuned. Yes, it does display the station number in digits but the tuning is analog. If you remember those old transistor radios from 30-40 years ago, you will know what I am talking about. They designed it this way to save money but the tuning result is horrible. Since there is no phase-lock-loop (PLL) circuit, the radio drifts in and out of being spot on. This is equally annoying.Finally, it must be commented that the initial setup of this little device is a much more complicated that a typical clock radio. You will definitely need to read the instructions and I mean more than just a brief review. Many of these modern devices use buttons like Up and Down that perform multiple functions depending on the mode that has been initiated. And that is exactly the case when you try to set the alarm time. So just take the time to have the manual handy when you program this for the first time.Two things that did work very well were the setting of the time and the time projection on the ceiling. The time was set automatically immediately on power up. This feature worked perfectly. And the clarity of the digital time projection is outstanding.

So...When I got it, the volume key was stuck, so I couldn't press it. I fixed it using some screwdrivers.I do really like how big and clear the letters are, I can see them across the room.I wanted it for the automatic alarm feature, my phone was going crazy at the time and my old alarm clock had just broken.The automatic alarm function is nice, but annoying in that once one alarm is set, the other also sets.I really like that it can function as a radio, however, no matter how many times I follow the directions, I can not preset the stations.Overall, Its a slightly big alarm clock. $20 is an okay price for an alarm clock of its capabilities if it could actually fulfill them.I like the alarm clock, but I don't think I'd rebuy it.

The clock seems to be working just fine. Not much reception from the radio, but I spent very little.

This clock radio has really big numbers and it keeps accurate time. The buttons on it are somewhat confusing as they can perform at least two different functions, depending on whether the radio is on or not. But the owner's manual is a big help as is written in Gibberish. I still have not figured out how to this clock radio works and it's going to be awhile before I do.

We were disappointed by this clock. Many of the buttons have more than one function that it controls, making it confusing and frustrating to make changes and use. I think that they were trying to make it simpler by having fewer buttons, but it made it worse. Growing up it was easy to find a basic clock radio that worked well and was easy to set. What happened?!!!!

It's OK. Works as designed. It has better reception than two other radios we tried in the same location. The sound isn't great, but given the tiny speaker that's as best as to be expected. Others had trouble making it work, but I played around and figured it out. The radio on-off switch also doubles as a band selector, so I have to toggle through the choices to get to FM and to OFF. Not the best ergonomics.

Pros- Large easy to read display, compact size. Cons- Controls not user friendly i.e. hold this button with that button, hold this button down for this much time, touch this button multiple times. Simple slide switch control would of been better.

Yes it does project the time which is what I wanted. What I also wanted was a clock that kept the correct time. This clock loses a little over one minute per month. I reset the clock at the beginning of January (yet again) and set it one minute ahead. Now six months later it has lost seven minutes and I will have to reset it again. This is not something that I want to keep doing. It is annoying having to remember how much time it has lost and then add it to display to get the correct time.

I like most of the alarm clock. I really like the display and projection, however, there are two reasons why I will probably send it back. First, the alarm only goes off for 30 minutes and there is no way to change this. I enjoy listening to the radio in the morning and 30 minutes is just not long enough. Second, and probably the fatal flaw is the sound quality. The sound is awful and very crackly. It sounds worse than any alarm clock radio I have ever owned! For a clock and thermometer, this is great. For a radio, it is the worst.

I found this clock to be overcomplicated. Even after familiarizing myself with the layout, waking to this clock was not pleasant as I have traditionally had a wide, fat snooze button on a clock with a low center of gravity. I've knocked this thing over about twenty times now. Plus, I've discovered that while I thought having the time on the ceiling would be cool, it just pi$$e$ me off now. The characters never seem quite right and if you want to orient the letters so you can read it when you're laying on your back, then you can't see the alarm in the dark room to turn it off. If you're a stomach sleeper, don't even bother. Just keep you're old one. It's a good product. It works. It's does what it's advertised to do. I just thought it would fit my life better.

First impressions I would have given this clock four stars but then I used it. The buttons are a little confusing, they all have multiple functions depending on what you are doing but I was able to get it setup without reading through the directions so they can't be all that bad. There are no dedicated buttons for radio presets so you have to press one button multiple times to cycle through them, mildly annoying but OK. The volume is controlled by buttons, not my favorite but pretty standard so that's fine too, but there are only 15 volume setting options and the quietest settings is still a bit to loud to fall asleep to in my opinion. And finally, when setting the alarm you have to set a volume for it. I originally thought this was great, I don't have to remember to set the volume before going to bed every night. The next morning when the alarm went off I realized I had set the volume a bit loud, no problem, just roll over and turn it down right? Nope, when the alarm is on you can not change the volume, you have to turn the alarm radio off and the regular radio back on to change the volume.This is not a well thought out clock. All of the features are there and they all technically work but in practice nothing is as intuitive or straightforward as it could / should be.

I ordered two of these to replace my alarm clock and my wife's. When they arrived, they were easy to setup (I only had to adjust the time by about 4 minutes). For the price, it seemed like a nice alarm clock. I like that there are two alarms that can be set to buzz or radio. The menus aren't as intuitive as other clocks, but easy enough to navigate. And the time projection was great.My wife's clock worked flawlessly out of the box, but mine had a dimmer issue. The display is supposed to have a HI-LOW-OFF dimmer setting, but mine was HI-OFF-OFF, no middle option. Well, the HI can light up a room and the off is more of a negative display (turning the screen black and the numbers a dim white). The LOW on the other unit is good for night time viewing, but mine didn't have that.I contacted the manufacturer instead of Amazon and they had me try a reset, which didn't work. So they sent me another unit right away. I was please with the customer service and how easy it was to handle this issue.The day the new one showed up, everything went right; however, the blue display was a different shade of blue than the original my wife had. This not only triggered a minor O.C.D. impulse in me, but also caused me to question the overall consistency and quality control of the manufacturer. But I can overlook that as long as the unit functions, and it did.No joke, 2 hours later my wife's unit started acting up. The radio was only bringing in static and there was a slight "digital" bleeping sound in the background. I tried adjusting the FM antenna with no luck. Then the alarm refused to be set. The button (pressed once to get into the alarm setting function, then pressed and held to start the set) would only let me see what the alarm was already set to, but not adjust it to a new alarm. Out of frustration, I unplugged it and plugged it back in...and the radio worked! Hooray. Clearly not an antenna or location problem, just something inside failed. But the alarm never regained functioning.Instead of dealing with getting ANOTHER new one from the manufacturer, I just sent everything back.Great clock if/when it works...but have two out of three fail in 4 days isn't a good first impression. Congrats to the several thousand people who had 5-Star success...but I'm in the 2-3 star approval range for this product. I've attached photos only to illustrate the dimmer settings of HI-LOW-OFF. The pics were taking with a crappy cell phone camera so I adjusted them to attempt to give a more accurate depiction, hopefully that helps SOMEONE, though my advice is to just buy something else entirely.

This clock comes with the time preset at the factory and that is maintained during shipping by a battery. On set up it simply asks you your time zone to adjust. Despite even saying "SelfSet" on the box, all the manufacturer intends is that the clock has a battery and will not loose the time during a power outage, just like every other alarm clock with a battery. When I bought it, I thought this clock would use the radio signals that "atomic clocks" use, but it does not.See the review by Tim H for more details: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1CQHI26PNBD3G/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003WGRUQQAs many reviews have said, the screen is very bright even on the lowest setting, but mercifully you can turn it off and rely on the projector.This clock also does not have a digital tuner for the radio. It will show you a digital display of which frequency you're close to, but it's an old fashioned wheel tuner so it's not locking on to exactly that frequency.The buttons are not self-explanatory. Almost every button has a special function that is enabled by holding it down, but you have no idea what that is without the manual. If you loose the manual you're going to forget how to even set the time.I sent this back and got a Sony ICFC1PJ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEYHMPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's a much nicer clock, doesn't have the brightness issue, and it has a digital tuner.

It is really difficult to use. Have to refer to the instruction booklet all the time.

The alarm button sticks and keeps blinkingI need to return itI got it for my mom.

I liked the looks of this alarm clock. BUT the instructions were impossible to follow. English must have been their 4th or 5th language. I thought I could figure out how to set almost anything but I finally gave up on this clock and returned it for a refund. Sorry guys but if you really like your customers like you claim then you will completely rewrite your instructions.

I gave this to my husband for Christmas, after looking for exactly what he wanted. This seemed perfect. He has yet to use it. He said the directions are so complicated, he hasn't bothered to set it up. I am very disappointed. Hopefully once he isn't trying to do this right before bed, maybe it will be fine--but he is a patient man and he was frustrated. Might be returning it.

Very disappointed with the Dream Sky Large Display Dual Alarm Clock. My first impression was the quality wasNot Good and looked like someone had opened the box before, as the way the radio was packaged when we opened it.The instructions was complicated. Overall I did not like the radio and I'm returning the radio.The volume on the radio was very very poor in the sound.

Can't get the thing to play radio & can't turn it off. The only thing that seems to work is the snooze button & that lasts 9 min. then more beeping! The instructions need to be reviewed for errors-grammatical. I'm a tech support person & I can't get it to work as expected!

I hate this clock! I just want a simple clock to show the time & wake me up. I don’t like keeping my phone by the bed so a phone alarm is not an option for me. Plus my contact lenses come out at night so a big display is better for me. This clock is overly complicated for what I need it to do—give me the time & wake me up. The description also is a lie when it says that it will change the time automatically when daylight savings time ends or starts—today daylight savings time ended & my clock did not change:/ Plus I really do not love the fact that I have to pull out the operating manual to make it do things like the alarm not coming on while out of town. Oh & today I have to update the time since the clock didn’t like they said it would so of course the owner’s manual will have to be pulled out again. I’m not technologically challenged but this clock makes me feel like I am. Today I ordered a humble, simple RCA clock. When it gets here this piece of poo is going in the trash!

Radio died... I should have listened to all of the people saying this. I really liked this alarm clock now I am really disappointed that I spent the money on it. I should have bought a cheap one at Walmart. It would have been more reliable and dependable.

I purchased this clock as a holiday gift but did. It set it up until 3/20. It started to lose a slow minute. Today on 4/30/17 it is six minutes late, a loss of a minute per week. Unfortunately, the return window closed on 1/27/17.

You do not even get what you paid for !Chose it because of the AM /FM digital radio, HoweverSound quality is very poorVolume control at the 01 setting is relatively loud. when setting as a pre-sleep setting, it will keep you up. and the wake up morning radio Alarm - will certainly get you out of bed."programming" is less than friendly and intuitive.When plugging anything - ( an I phone to be charged) into the same power strip there is a strong buzzing and humming sound. so much for the digital sound quality.This one is going back!

Bought two of these. First clock, one the buttons didn't work well. Had to press really hard, multiple times, to get them to work. Multiple buttons were defective, although some worked properly. Second clock, more of the buttons worked well, but some of them also had the same problem where you had to press really hard, multiple times to get them to work. In addition, the Nap buzzer kept going off every 90 minutes even though I turned the nap function to OFF. The funny thing is that I bought this same clock many years ago (when it had the RCA logo) and it lasted a long time with no problems. These clocks (although they look exactly the same as my old one) are of a much lower quality. If one was bad, I'd say it was a fluke, but BOTH clocks I received were defective. In my opinion, that is no longer a fluke, but indicates very poor quality.

I've been having bad luck lately with well-reviewed products on Amazon. I bought this in May 2015 and I could never set the alarm properly--it's one of those things with tiny buttons in the back labeled A, B, C--and you have to have the instruction book in one hand, reading which combination of buttons to hold 3 sec or push twice, while you do whatever it says with your other hand. Somehow I set it to 7:05 am in May and could never change it; sometimes it rings at 7:05 am and sometimes it doesn't. So I gave up and just used it as a clock--but about two months in, it stopped displaying the time on the ceiling. Today four months later, the clock face went dark as well. If you hold it 1" from your nose you can barely make out that it is indeed still telling time but the bright face (that some people complained was TOO bright) is totally gone. Basically I paid not a cheap price for a clock whose alarm never worked and which lasted four months.

I have repeatedly attempted to get the radio to receive my local station without interference. I cannot. It is impossible to listen to the news or to music----either a.m. or f.m.!! I am only 200 yards from their broadcast tower and I still cannot get clear reception. I am very disappointed. The clock does work. What should I do?? I have tried everything the accompanying booklet suggests. John Boulette

It was a piece of junk even the radio didn't sound as good as a transistor. It is on its way back return policy is the reason it got a star.

All aspects of purchasing and delivery were great, but the product is very poor. The sound from the speaker is by far the worst I have ever heard. the voices of people talking are barely understandable.I would not recomd this clock radio to anyone.

LIsting says "2*AAA battery needed for backup,Which to maintain your clock and alarm settings during a power outage, ensuring that the time is always accurate, and the alarms will sound at the appointed time." According to the instructions in the package, the battery in the clock maintains time during a power outage, but won't make clock ring, . So nothing "ensures he alarms will sound at the appointed time." This makes it impossible to depend on this alarm clock unless you live in an area that absolutely never has power outages.Where have all the high quality radio clock alarms gone? The minimum: full battery backup functionality, good weak station tuning and reception, continue working for longer than the Amazon return period. Other features such as smart phone charging, Bluetooth, projection of time, etc are all nice, but first and foremost the the thing has to reliably ring every morning!

Can't believe I missed the cutoff for returns. This radio barely functions- the sound is horrible. Not even good enough to give to charity, so I will toss it

Must have been defective-- I could only set the alarm one time, then it would not let me set the time or alarm. It was difficult to figure out how to set the alarm, turn it off, etc. Then it didn’t work at all. It does have large numbers, which I like, but now it is just sitting in the garage with the wrong time...
