Review on ⏰ Mesqool Bedroom Projection Alarm Clock by Eric Broad

Revainrating 1 out of 5

HORRIBLE DESIGN AND USER EXPERIENCE - I NO LONGER SPEND TIME to make simple time/alarm settings

WHY OH WHY IS THE BASIC TASK OF CHANGE THE TIME SO IMPOSSIBLE ON THIS DEVICE? This is without a doubt one of the worst UX (user experience) products out there and I can't believe we survived/endured/stressed out 24 months on this crappy device. GOOD: The clock worked well. You have an attractive slim body. The dual alarm clock was great and the red numbers and adjustable lighting on the ceiling and clock are very comforting at night and I will miss them. ended last week), the amount of TIME LOST trying to make the change is ridiculous. DANGEROUS: GOOD LUCK READING THE MYSTERIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND PRESSING THE SMALL* MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUTTONS. After 2 years, my husband, who still gets up 2-3 hours before me 50% of the time, can't turn off $#@$*'s alarm because the buttons are so small and do so many things. In fact, the ALARM OFF button seems to separate the FUNCTION OF PUTTING THE RADIO INTO SLEEP MODE, so I had to put fluffy velcro on half of the button, which actually turns the alarm off. My husband has big hands and this works 50% of the time or even less. It is with great joy and gratitude to our local 6-letter member club that we now have a Wi-Fi IoT connected projection alarm clock that can be programmed (and turned on and off) from any of our phones, letting us know about 10 other things we need to do not knowing in the middle of the night. Why, because we can make sure the alarm is on/correct and change the time in seconds instead of spending 10-20 minutes reading and re-reading the manual and frustratingly fumbling with the buttons when trying repeatedly, ONLY ONE HOUR TO CHANGE. Yes, I understand these are first world issues. but we're looking for a good alarm clock to solve our daily first world problems, right?
