I have only had this clock for a few days, but I am amazed by it because of how large and easy to read it is. I will update my review if there are any problems, but as for now, 5 stars.Product Quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The clock is well built and is made out of plastic. The front has clear plastic and the LED lights are very bright. The function buttons are easy to press, and don't feel flimsy. The power cord actually has an AC->DC brick on the end of it. Unlike other clocks that have an attached power cord, this one has a removable one.Features ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The function buttons on the back are very straightforward. If you don't understand how to operate the clock, ask your nearest 5 year old and they will show you how. The alarm is easy to set and is very loud. There is a large snooze button, so you can easily and efficiently smack it and roll back into your slumber. There is a dimmer for the LEDs, HI or LO, and the difference between the two settings is miniscule. The LEDs may be too bright for you if you enjoy sleeping in a totally dark room, even in the LO dimmer setting. If you would like to use the battery backup feature, it takes 2 AA batteries instead of a 9V battery.Miscellaneous-If you press the snooze button for about 2 seconds, it turns into a night light.-I was able to read this clock very easily from over 100 feet away. I tested this at night on my long driveway. During the day, with sunlight shining directly on the display, I could read it easily from about 40 feet away.OverallI have purchased SHARP clocks before, and the only reason I needed to get a new one is because I made the mistake of purchasing a BB gun for my son who found out that the old clock in our basement made a great target. The old SHARP brand clock works great still, it just has pock marks all over it and looks crappy. He says it wasn't too big or too small of a target. Attaboy! ?I personally depend very heavily on reviews that are posted on Amazon, as do many other consumers. I not only read what reviewers say, but look to see what their pictures reveal about a products true quality and description. I aim to not only feature the products I review in many different aspects, analyzing many qualities, I also provide my own opinions on ALL the good AND bad experiences I have with the product I review. I take time to learn and use a product as it was intended before I review it, and I have used this specific product thoroughly.My rating system:5 - Met all my expectations. Was described and pictured perfectly. Exactly what I wanted and needed. Extremely useful product and a great value. Would recommend to family and friends.4 - Very good product. Exactly as described. May have a minor flaw, mentioned in the review, that does not detract from the products perceived value. Would recommend to family and friends.3 - Average product. Not exactly as described, or misleading advertising or product pictures. Possibly substandard build quality, or something else explained in the review. Would mention as an option to family and friends, but not recommend.2 - Wouldn't recommend this product. Poor build quality, not close to being as described. Flimsy and fragile. Difficult to use due to product flaws.1 - Do not purchase whatsoever. Usually only given if product lasts only a few hours/days/etc. I do not leave 1 star reviews without contacting the seller. I will be returning the product.I did NOT receive ANY discount for this product. I simply enjoy reviewing every one of my purchases.
