## Description

Product description

Review: Stopped working after four months! - I didn't expect much from this product, all I wanted was a clock with a low profile for my bedroom. But, I got so much more! I am so pleased with this purchase! In fact, so pleased that I'm writing a review which I seldom do! Though it is diminutive in its size, it outperformed my expectations! The sound is much bigger than expected and the station I wanted came in crystal clear! The night light is both pretty and convenient, and because you can choose the color/brightness, or turn the night light off, it affords you options, which personally, I like. It also has a port on the back so you can charge a device, and it has a back up battery, so if the power goes out you can still have all its features. I believe it is a great product and it was a wonderful surprise to me. For the modest cost I don't think you can go wrong with this purchase! Update: Went to sleep last night, I had a working clock radio, upon awakening, it no longer worked! It had what looked like the numbers 28:88 on all its areas, both alarms and where the time is shown. I called desertcart customer service and they attempted to assist me in trouble shooting, but it's just dead y'all! I was really upset, because I truly like this product! desertcart was gracious in giving me a refund. Still, since I really need a clock, you'd think that because it died I'd look for a different product, you'd be wrong! I actually surprised myself, because I'm going to give it one more try! I'm hoping that the one I received was a lemon because no one else has reported this problem, however this time I'm opting for the protection plan! While it worked this little clock radio, did an amazing job for me! I really enjoyed all its features, which are unique to this brand. Because of this I'm going to give it one more try! I'll update in nine months to a year, hopefully this new clock radio will still be working. Second Update: Soo, it's 2023. I had every intention, to update my review, but things happened, among them getting Covid three times! I'm changing my rating to five stars, the following is why: The replacement clock broke about about nine months after purchase, so I called desertcart hoping they could help trouble shoot, but they were unable to. (Deja vu!) They did prorate a refund and I chucked the radio in the trash and went shopping on desertcart for a replacement, however none of the clocks had the features my little dynamo had! Disappointed I ordered a replacement. Trash day arrived and I started collecting it from all over the house, the clock was still in my bedroom trash can, I tried to throw it out but I didn't want to. I plugged it up in hopes that it would work, it didn't, even though I left plugged up for a while. I was about to toss it again when I had a light bulb moment, what if I changed the battery... hmm. But I argued with myself, changing the battery wouldn't do any good! It was powered by electricity. However, I figured it was worth a try, I changed the battery, nothing happened, but I got busy and forgot about the clock. When I returned to my bedroom a few hours later my clock was working again! Hurray! And it's still working; I haven't even had to change the battery! Not one problem with it since then! Love my little dynamo!
Review: Easy to use, lots of features - UPDATE 2025: I ordered another of these clocks because it is one of the few clock radios that has all of the features I want - dual alarms, multiple dimming options, easy to set, and a battery backup. Since you use an alarm clock nearly every day, the features are important. While the original clock still works, it does not keep proper time and gains several minutes each week so you constantly had to reset it. Recently the alarm buttons became super finicky and it became very difficult to change the alarm time. I searched for a replacement but could not find one with these same features. Since the seller offered excellent customer service, I decided to give them another try. The new clock looks nearly identical to the old one with a few minor alterations. The clock is now powered with a standard electrical cord, which I believe solved the issue with the clock gaining time. The cord and plug remain cool. The volume control has been moved to the top of the clock. The 'alarm off' button has been removed and to turn off the alarm you press the corresponding alarm button which pauses the alarm for 24 hours. Since the alarm buttons no longer work on the first clock though rarely used, I do have some concern that the constant pressing of the alarm buttons will result in malfunction but hopefully that has been improved as well. Overall, I really like this clock. It has a small footprint, the large numbers are easy to see and you can dim it to a custom setting. The radio comes in loud and clear and you can use it (or a bird sound or beep) for the alarm. It has a USB slow charging port and a multicolored night light option if you are interested in those features. It uses 3 AAA batteries for backup so they are easy to replace. It has a large, easy to locate snooze button. It is extremely easy to set up and even includes some printed instructions on the back of the clock. The alarm settings are displayed beneath the time. It seems that the manufacturer has taken steps to make improvements and I hope they continue making this clock because believe me, I searched for clocks that had all of these features and it is nearly impossible to find one. The new, improved clock has resulted in changing the review from 3 to 5 stars. _______________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: The clock does not keep proper time. It gains 3-5 minutes per week so you have to reset it frequently. A clock really has one job and so its difficult to overlook this. Maybe I received a defective clock as I didn't see other complaints regarding this. I contacted the seller and they were very responsive and refunded my money immediately. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is a nice, small alarm clock. It is very easy to set - the buttons are clearly marked and each button has one purpose. There is a night light with multiple colors (including off) and lights up all of the buttons on top. The radio works well - you can scan manually or auto-scan to preset the stations. It sounds better than I expected considering how small it is. There is also a sleep setting for the radio. The cord is about 3 ft long with a USB adapter included. The adapter got very hot within minutes of plugging it in - as in unsafe hot. Luckily I had another adapter on hand so I just swapped them out and after that, my adapter doesn't even get warm. I'm not sure if the original adapter was defective but it could be a fire hazard. The display is blue with large, thick numbers. The display has a dimmer wheel which can go from very bright to off and anywhere in between. The clock has a battery back-up (3 AAA batteries) that actually powers the clock when it is unplugged and not just for saving the settings. There are two alarms with three options for sound - the standard beep, birds chirping or the radio. The alarms can be set independently so each can use a different sound. The alarm volume can be adjusted. There is a 9-minute snooze and the button is large and easy to find. I like that each alarm setting is very clearly displayed beneath the time with the alarm time and the sound setting. Its nice to confirm the alarm is set by just glancing at the clock. There is one slow-charging USB port on the back of the clock. Overall, I'm happy with the clock. It has quite a few very useful features in a very small package. It looks nice and is very easy to use. I've only had it a few days but so far it seems to work well. The only complaint is the included USB adapter which got very hot very quickly. Luckily, I had another one available but that is a genuine concern and as a result, I have to lower the rating.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you adjust the alarm volume to lower than 8?  I am a light sleeper and the lowest volume I can get it to go is L08 which is too loud for me.**
A: Mine wouldn't go below level 8 either. Makes the alarm function useless - it is blaring loud at that level.

**Q: Worked fine for a week. now randomly changes time to l:00 quite frequently. can’t trust it. why does this happen?**
A: Hi customer, we are so sorry for that our alarm clock randomly changes time to l:00 quite frequently. Our products carry one-year warranty and we would like to send you a replacement at our cost if there is any faulty with our products.

**Q: Can someone verify the length of the cord?  I see conflicting answers.**
A: How do you change the time on the house at glow?  It is daylight savings and it did not change times.  How do I change the time?

**Q: What does this product run on?**
A: Hi customer, this alarm clock is outlet powered and can be backup with 3*AAA batteries to keep time/settings during a power outage. Note: batteries drains fast(just lasting 10 hours) if battery operated only! please keep plugging in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than I expected...
*by L***2 on September 16, 2023*

I'm digging this little clock radio. I had a "nicer" clock radio on my bedside table, but I grew aggravated with it, because it often took multiple presses of the ON/OFF button to power it up or down. No such problems with this little Housbay! One click for on, one click for off, every time. Insofar as the clock radio itself is concerned, I wasn't expecting much, especially for such a little amount of money. But, this thing surprised me. Although it doesn't sound quite as good as my other radio did, it's really not bad for such a micro sized speaker. Volume levels are impressive, and tonality is acceptable for such a small unit. I keep my radio in the 4 to 7 range for normal listening, but it'll go WAY higher than that. There are a couple of things that annoy me a bit. First, it is not possible to tune the radio manually, after an initial scan is completed. For instance, if you are listening to a station at 98.3, you cannot simply press a TUNE button to bump the radio up to the next frequency, which would be 98.5, or down to 98.1. When the radio is first selected, it performs a scan of the FM spectrum. If the faintest signal is detected at any frequency in the FM band, the radio will assign a preset to that frequency. I live in a fairly large midwestern city, and my radio set over 40 presets. Some are not able to be listened to, as they are more noise than anything else, but the radio did recognize them. I am surprised at the sensitivity of this little radio. With the wire antenna extended, it does an admirable job of picking up available signals. When scanning is completed, tuning of the radio must be done by pressing the up/down preset button, until your desired station's preset number is selected. This means that you may have to skip through a few presets that have been assigned to stations with unacceptable signals. It also means that you'll need to remember which preset numbers are assigned to your preferred stations, so that you can "tune" to that preset number when you wish to listen to that station. Once there, the display does show the frequency of that station for a few seconds, before it reverts to time display. In my case, I printed out a list of preset numbers for stations that had good signal quality, and that I was interested in listening to. For instance, let's say that I'm listening to a station at 90.1, and I wish to listen to a station at 101.1. My preset number for 90.1 may be 4. I look at my preset list and find out which preset is for the station at 101.1. It might be 19. I then press the preset button enough times to "tune" the radio to preset 19. Once there, the display will read 101.1 for a short while. Yeah, it's kind of cumbersome, and it takes some getting used to, but it's not a deal breaker if you make a list of presets and keep them handy; or, you just remember which presets are assigned to your favorite few stations. The second thing that annoys me goes along with the first, which I just described. I would like to see the frequency of the selected station displayed permanently, somewhere in the display window, rather than being displayed only when a preset is selected, and then disappearing. I like the looks of the radio a lot. It's smaller and more compact than I was expecting. I also like the dimmable display via a thumbwheel on the rear of the radio. I easily found a brightness level that works well both day and night, without being too dim or too bright. The colored "night light" is cute, too. At first, I thought it was gimmicky, but I quickly grew to like it. Before I lay down at night, I'll turn it on at the lowest level. I just kind of like seeing it. I like the orange color, as it seems to project the least amount of light into the room. Teal is also nice. Alarms are easy to set. I was able to set mine up without going to the manual, but I'm pretty technically inclined and can navigate around most menus without too much difficulty. I selected the radio as the alarm source, and I like that the alarm station and volume can be set independently of the station that the radio is currently tuned to. I did have to consult the manual to figure that one out, but it was pretty simple. No, it's not perfect, but for less than 25 bucks, there has to be some tradeoffs. In this case, I can learn how to deal with them and come to love my little Housbay.
