uscce Small Digital Clock for Bedroom: 6 Dimmable Brightness 4 Alarm Volume - Plug in Clock with Easy Operation for Bedside Desk Blue

This small digital clock is exactly what I was looking for! It’s compact enough to fit perfectly on my nightstand without taking up too much space, and the display is easy to read both day and night. I love the 6 levels of brightness—it can go super dim for sleeping or bright enough to see clearly during the day. The 4 alarm volume settings are a great feature, especially for light or heavy sleepers. Setup was incredibly easy with no confusing buttons, and it stays plugged in so I never have to worry about changing batteries. It’s a reliable, no-fuss clock that does its job really well. Highly recommend!

First, let me just say, WOW! I received this clock today (November 2019) and upon first impression: 1. Adjustable brightness!! This is probably my favorite feature on this clock. I'm a person with vision loss, which makes it difficult with some products out there. This clock, however, allows me to make the numbers VERY bright OR very dim! (You can even turn the light off that displays the numbers). 2. It's small enough that it doesn't take up a lot of space on my nightstand. 3. Love the ability to adjust the volume for the alarm AND the five alarm sound options. 4. It has a cord for power, so I don't have to worry about batteries. 5. I have added two photos, so you can see it in a dark room. The dimly lit photo is NOT as dim as it gets, but you get the idea.... 6. Incredibly easy to set the time and alarms. Didn't even need to read the tiny instruction book (thankfully- being visually impaired and all). 7. Did I mention how easy the number display is to see?!? It is the perfect size for my needs. After a little time with this clock, I will update my review as needed. Note: If you found this review to be helpful, please indicate that by clicking the appropriate button. Thanks! UPDATE (June 2022): I have now had this alarm clock since 2019 and still love it. All of the reasons I listed above are still completely accurate. This is worth purchasing for all of the reasons I listed above.

Best alarm ever. Going strong after 3 years. Choices of alarm sounds like nature, bells, etc with volume settings. Brightness is dimmable and the phone charging port is very useful. I am buying a second as a gift. Superb customer service when 1st didn't work.

UPDATE: As other reviewers have mentioned, customer service is excellent, so I have updated to 4 stars. They reached out to me and even followed up when I didn't respond after a little while (the original email had landed in my spam folder). I was given the option for a replacement or full refund. Because of my unique shipping situation, I chose to get a refund, which they processed very quickly and without hassle. I plan on using the refund to buy the same clock as a replacement once it's convenient for me to ship it, because plug issue aside (which I haven't seen happen with other reviewers, so it's probably a one-off situation) my kids do really like it. If the new clock has no issues, I'll be happy to write a new 5-star review, or update this one to reflect that. -- My kids really like this alarm clock; the coloured night light appeals to them, and the numbers were easy to read. They like changing up the sound of the alarm from time to time. However, after 6 weeks on my kids' desk, the part of charger that plugs into the back of the clock broke off in the clock while they were changing the alarm tone. If the break was at the base of the plug, which is a high stress point, I might understand better, but this is genuinely an odd place for a break. Fortunately the battery backup means that the clock can still be used, but the numbers on the face are off unless you push a button on the clock--this is a battery saving feature, I understand, but it also makes it hard for kids to keep track of time if they have to do something to see the time, vs. just glancing at the clock on the table. That's definitely affected the clock's usefulness. I waited to see how long the batteries would last before leaving this review, and it's been about 2 weeks. Fortunately, I am using rechargeable batteries, but it's all less than ideal now. Which is too bad! Because as I said, the kids really liked it when it was fully functioning. I can't easily return this because I live abroad and had to have it shipped to me by a freight forwarder.

Perfect as a backup to your phone. Large numbers

Love, Love, Love this clock!! I bought it for our trailer because I needed a larger clock. My husband was a little worried since it had a white display and not red. The dimmer on this clock is a dial and not preset settings. It's AMAZING, you can dial the readout so low that it is still visible but not bright. This works great when you're in a trailer camping and it's really dark. The other features are nice too. There are numerous sounds that you can use for the alarm setting. I highly recommend this clock for anyone that wants to control the ambient light flooding your room from electronics.

UPDATE: 2/8/2023 - the replacement clock from USCCE arrive last Friday (2/3/2023) and I have had time to test it out. The replacement clock no longer has the issue the original clock had where the time would be incorrect sometimes when I used the USB port for charging or even just left a USB cable plugged in. I have left a USB cable connected at all times and have used multiple cable types to charge multiple devices (iPhone, Android phone, Android tablet, and ear buds) and the replacement clock has not had the time get messed up like the original. I am increasing my review to 5 stars for this product AND for the company's fast response to my issue and standing behind their product. UPDATE: 1/30/2023 - USCCE has offered to replace the clock and once I receive it, I will update this review. Hopefully the replacement clock will not have the same issue of the time getting messed up when using the USB port. The company does seem to stand behind their product ORIGINAL REVIEW I find this clock easy to use, read, and like the adjustable volume and brightness. Unfortunately, being able to use the USB connection to charge my phone seems to be a problem. This clock has changed on its own to the incorrect time (by hours and minutes) 4 times now. A HUGE issue for an alarm clock. On a whim, I disconnected the USB cable I had left connected to this clock for charging my phone and the clock has not had the issue with the time changing to the incorrect time as long as the USB cable isn't connected. I'm not going to return it as I do like the clock as a timepiece. However, it would be nice if the USB charging feature could be used without the time getting messed up.

I bought this under the impression I would have 5 Alarm Sound options, but instead of the “Beep” my clock has a Police Siren as Option 01. I have never heard of nor known anyone who would choose to wake up to Police Sirens…It’s absurd. I’ve never heard of a clock manufacturer who makes a clock with Police Sirens as a sound option…it’s ridiculous. I contacted customer service and was told, verbatim, “We’ve upgraded the alarm clock, and the "Siren" sound is especially suitable for heavy sleepers”. You can also change the alarm to a different sound if you prefer. Here’s how to set it: Press the ALARM SOUND button. The available alarm sounds will flash and play. Press ALARM SOUND repeatedly to choose from five options: 01 = Siren 02 = Beep 03 = Birds Chirping 04 = Buzzer 05 = Soft Music FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. There is NO mention of the Siren Sound Upgrade for heavy sleepers anywhere in product description or in the written and video reviews. I think people should be aware of this “upgrade”. I then asked to be sent the old model and was told this: Unfortunately, we no longer have the version of the alarm clock without the siren sound. However, if you are not satisfied with the current model, we can certainly arrange a full refund for you. I had bought two of these clocks thinking the siren was a one-off. Nope. They told me I would receive refunds for both items, but only received one refund. We’ll see. If you ever had the desire to be awakened by the sound of Police Sirens you will love this clock. One more thing: I never intended to use this as an alarm clock so my husband cut the wire to the speaker so there is no sound at all now. It is a great design and a nice looking, compact clock. UPDATE: I was archiving my Amazon orders and came across the alarm clock I purchased from you. I decided to check your description for this clock on Amazon and the description that you had changed to mention the siren sound is absent. As a matter of fact, you don't mention any sounds in the description at all now. It's outlandish, bizarre, unprofessional, dishonest, and deeply troubling you would gaslight, disrespect, & bully someone that chose to purchase from you. Attached is a Paid Reviewer's video, then my video. Please view both. Without using empathetic, flowery, disrespectful response, please tell me why you chose to do this to me. What was your motivation?
