CLEVER GARDEN Large Wooden Traditional Cuckoo Clock House with House & Pendulum | Home & Kitchen Décor | Wall Clock Decoration | Bird Cuckoos on The Hour | Wood

Had this for several days now. It’s even better than I expected! It’s as good as those costing 2 to 3 times more. Wood and hand carved. Very well made and I can find no faults. Hourly report is preceded by a short bird’s chirping, then doors open and cuckoo appears, flaps its wings and cuckoos with echo like in the forest. There is the sound of a babbling stream in the background. Easy to sync the number of cuckoos to the hour on clock. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Uses 3 “C” cell batteries. You can choose low, high or off on volume. The night “off” sensor works flawlessly. Liked it so much my kids want for their homes. So, ordered 1 more Owls and 1 Home/house style for Christmas gifts. Only thing that would make it better is a colorful cuckoo, but happy as is. FYI, the Owl and Squirrel style clocks use 3 “C” batteries and have brown cuckoo. The House style clock uses 2 “D” batteries and has a colorful cuckoo.

It's pretty, and you can adjust the sound to a low setting so that you can hear it but it's not disturbing. HOWEVER, it cuckoos twice for each hour. In other words, at 1:00 it cuckoos twice. At 4:00 it cuckoos 8 times. At 12:00 it cuckoos 24 times. If you're counting the cuckoos, you need to divide the total by two. For this reason, I'm searching for another cuckoo clock.

I loved the design and look. The pendulum swings, but the internals must have been messed up in shipping as the clock does not keep time or make noise on the hour as it should.

I did not dislike anything about clock
