Do not buy good for me

Purchased as a Christmas gift. Opened it, and as you can see from the photos, the product is not finished. Mistakes happen, so I returned. I received the same item back. Again, it is not finished. Top and bottom of clock have cheap particle board, not the black plastic on the rest of the product. Pictures of product shows a completed product, not one with particle board and particle board line markings for cutting. Utter waste of time and money. Returning now for a 2nd time. I can find better…

Pros
  • With collection value: its complicated craft makes it more difficult to produce for so many processes but its exqiusite design attracts many people's attention; With clear display: the big size of IV-11 vacuum Fluorescent display, the bigger figure and the longer tube make the number more clearly to see
Cons
  • It is ok but temperature does not read correctly

It works, but it's tricky

My wife bought me this for Christmas (she knows what I like). But the included "manual" (a single page of instructions) is hard to understand. There is no indication anywhere of what kind of battery you need for the remote (it turns out it's CR2025).And then after I put the correct battery in the remote, I thought it was broken because none of the keys did anything. it turns out that if you keep pressing the buttons, EVENTUALLY something will happen. There is some weird timing going on: if I…

Pros
  • With multi-function: even if VFD tube clock is a product with a sense of age, its functions are still amazing . You can clearly see the time(12H/24H), the date( the lunar or solar calendars), the temperature( degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit), even can set a alarm clock and so on. You will have a full understanding of its functions when you read the English operation manual
Cons
  • The acrylic materials used may not be as durable or long-lasting as other materials commonly used for clocks

Cool Retro Clock on my review.

Very cool looking retro tube clock. Has way more features than I will use but it looks great and has a vintage vibe. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • The clock may be difficult to read for those with visual impairments or in low light conditions

A fun throwback to cold war era tech!

I've been slowly collecting modern pieces using tubes since I was given my grandfather's Grundig shortwave radio when he passed. This VFD clock is just what I was looking for. It is easy to operate and looks great! It's a great throwback to cold war era tech.

Pros
  • With the included remote control and alarm function, this clock offers convenience and functionality beyond its stylish design. Users can easily adjust the time and set alarms without needing to manually navigate the clock's settings, making it a practical addition to any home or office. Additionally, the clock's sleek finish and gift-ready packaging make it an excellent choice for those looking for a distinctive and thoughtful gift
Cons
  • The clock's old-fashioned design may not integrate well with modern technology, limiting its functionality and usefulness

Impossible to set, Temperature way off

I agree with the other reviews. Normally I don’t need to read instructions but remote that came with this unit has functions that don’t even match. Like it was made for something else. After failing to set it up correctly, I got out the instructions. That was an epic fail. The instructions are poorly translated and don’t match the remote either. I decided to let it run anyway as a display piece. Well as it cycles through it’s settings it shows the temperature. This pretty funny isn’t it appears

Pros
  • Clocks
Cons
  • The vintage appearance may not be suitable for all age groups or demographics, limiting its appeal as a gift option

Not worth money on my review.

I ended up returning the product, only because it sounded like it was going to explode everytime I turned it on. I just settled with a normal alarm clock, because even though it seemed like a cool product, it was overall not worth it.

Pros
  • The vintage VFD tube design brings a unique aesthetic to any room, adding a touch of retro charm that is sure to impress guests and enhance decor. The use of acrylic and vacuum tube technology also sets this clock apart from the mass-produced digital clocks commonly found in stores.
Cons
  • The price point may be too high for some consumers seeking a basic alarm clock
