Acctim 14217 Labatt LED Silver Alarm Clock

BOUGHT TO REPLACE AN OLD ALARM CLOCK WHICH WAS FAULTY. DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FINALLY SETTLED ON THIS ONE. GLAD WE DID AS WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. YES IT IS BRIGHT BUT THAT DOES NOT BOTHER US. WE FIND IT A COMFORTING GLOW. THE NUMBERS ARE BIG AND EASY TO READ. THE CLOCK IT SELF WAS VERY EASY AND STRAIGHT FORWARD TO SET UP. IT IS SET ON A 12 HOUR MODE WHICH I PREFER. WE USE IT ON THE MAINS BUT THERE IS THE FACILITY TO USE A BATTERY IF YOU PREFER. MY DAD WAS EYEING THE CLOCK UP AND COMMENTED ON HOW MUCH HE LIKED IT SO GUESS WHAT HE'S GETTING FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. I AM ALSO BUYING ONE FOR OUR 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER AS THE GLOW WILL HELP HER SLEEP AS SHE DOES INSIST ON A SMALL LIGHT ON AT NIGHT. OVERALL THIS IS A GREAT ALARM CLOCK WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR MOST PEOPLE AS LONG AS THEY DON'T MIND THE GLOW WHICH IS ON PAR WITH A CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHT. RECOMMENDED.

Bought this for my mum (early 60s). She's diabetic and her eye sight isn't the best. At night, like most diabetics, she has to go the loo a few times and needed a clock she could easily read and provided some lighting. Now this clock doesn't have a night light function but the clock is pretty bright and it's exactly what my mum wanted. I would've bought one for myself but I need a clock with day and date functionality as I work shifts and sometimes forget which day of the week it is. The numbers are very big and it can be read from a distance and during the day. Just make sure you have a wall socket near where you want to put it and I generally wouldn't advise putting it right next to your bed as it is bright for a clock.

The blue digits make this clock stand out, and some might say makes it look 'cool'. However, the digits appear 'fuzzy' - they 'make you eyes go funny' (all technical stuff here!). So this clock might not be as clear as you'd expect. Younger members of the household could see it fine without any blurry-edged digits, older folk struggled. Very easy to set the time, usefully has a PP3 (9V) battery to retain time if you accidentally turn it off/need to move it/habe a power cut/circuit breaker trips, so as soon as it receives power again - it's there with the correct time (or, at least the time you gave it!). Small and compact with a decent size display. Mains lead is average length, could do to perhaps be a little longer - but that's a very subjective comment! At night the clock display does seem rather bright and illuminates the room quite a bit, that might be a problem for some. By comparison we have a red variety of a similar clock that is much dimmer at night, easily bright enough to be seen, yet doesn't light up the room. Bought it for son's bedroom, and he loves it, so all in all money well spent. If you find this review useful, please consider clicking on ‘YES’ below, thanks!

I am very pleased with the LED screen on this clock. The numerals are nice and bright and very large making it very easy to see the time in the middle of the night even when you are half asleep. It also doubles very well as a night light but could be a problem for anybody who likes there bedroom to be in total darkness. The Alarm is also very effective and quick and easy to set. It is a bargain at the price and i would highly recommend.

I have been looking for a long time for a simple clock with large figures so that at night without my glasses I can see the time. This is just perfect. Other reviews have stated that it throws off too much light. For some this could be the case but I find it no problem and indeed getting up in the night is easier as there is sufficient light for me to find my way. The alarm is rather harsh but acceptable and the snooze is easy and efficient to use. The simple style should suit everyone's decor.

There is nothing wrong with this clock,it looks good, and keeps good time, however it is very bright and lights up the room at night. perhaps it needs a button to turn down the light a little for night time.

Do not waste your money on this piece of crap. It feels cheap and nasty, the snooze button isn't on the top its on the feet, so seems to be on most of the time from the weight of the clock. Its Way to bright, The Alarm doesn't go off 50% of the time. If there's a power cut the back up battery does nothing and the clock resets to factory setting. Only one alarm not 2 and snooze seems random 1 min 7 min etc. Only thing is nice clear display, but this is 2 bright and blinds you at night and has caused me eye migraines.

I thought is would be great as a bedside clock because the numbers were very large and you could obviously read in the dark. What I hated about this item was that it stated there was a dimmer where you could dimmer the brightness well this dimmer was just a slight adjustment to the extreme brightness of the light. The dimmer should be a lot more powerful. In other words it would not still look like you had BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS in your bedroom.

Nella descrizione del prodotto fatta nelle caratteristiche Non viene specificato che la presa d'alimentazione non è italiana...quindi serve l adattatore

Gemäß "Produktinformation" wird der Wecker nur nach Deutschland versandt. Insofern bin ich davon ausgegangen, dass er einen deutschen Stecker hat. Umso mehr war ich überrascht, dass dies nicht der Fall ist (UK-Stecker ?). Ein klarer Hinweis auf die "Nichtnutzbarkeit im deutschen Stromkreislauf" hätte mir die kostspielige Rücksendung per Luftpost erspart. Schade um die Arbeit und die Kosten.

Atención antes de comprarlo, el enchufe es Tipo G, BS 1363, Gran Bretaña, Irlanda. No digo que el producto esté mal, pero yo no vi este hecho especificado en la descripción cuando lo compré.

Tiene toma inglesa a la corriente fija sin poder quitar. No funciona con pila únicamente, aparte de ser de 9 V como en la prehistoria.
