WasLooking for a clock for a digital clock for my kitchen. This is ideal. The digits are big and can be seen easily. I love the fact it takes battery and mains power. If the power goes out or I have to switch it off, the clock never loses time because of the battery back up. It switches the display off after 20 seconds to save battery power. Display is illuminated all the time on mains power. It has an alarm and displays the temperature aswell.

Mixed feelings about this clock. Some great features, and some frustration. The key issue, I think, is "What is your intended usage?".Positives - large bright clear display, which will be great for a room clock under normal lighting. Easy set-up menus. It also can be powered by both a USB cable and by AAA batteries. So the good news is that when you have any form of power cut, the clock carries on powered by its AAA battery. No more complete resetting everything after a power cut. I've tested this and it works well.Negative - if your intended usage is as a bedside clock (which is my use for it). It is FAR FAR too bright on its dimmest setting. I thought with 3 brightness settings it might have a dimmer setting than many others. I was wrong! My clock is now inside a thick black sock and the brightness level through the sock is just what I wanted for a dim bedside clock during the night. Crude, I admit. But it works for me as I've given up trying to find a clock that remains dimly illuminated.Finally to finish with a positive: Despite the sock to reduce the brightness, the large display digits are still easy to see with sleepy bleary night eyes. It is probably also a benefit for people with vision impairments.

This clock looks great, but to have it remember things like the time, date, alarm settings etc, you need the batteries in. Which is useful for not having to re-set the time every time you unplug it. (Which, for me, is why I bought it. It's small and portable, so useful to take with you whilst travelling or similar).The instructions say that when you're powering it off batteries only, the screen goes off after 10 seconds. Which kinda makes sense. Maybe.However, if you're using batteries, and the USB power, the screen STILL goes off after 10 seconds. Which seems totally useless. I want the batteries in so that it remembers the time, and I want to use the USB power so that I can plug it in wherever I'm using it.I guess it's fine if you're just going to have it constantly plugged in, but it just seems like a really annoying function.
