Review on Housbay Digital Alarm Clocks For Bedrooms - Handy Night Light, Large Numbers With Display Dimmer, Dual USB Chargers, 12/24Hr, Outlets Powered Compact Clock For Nightstand, Desk, Shelf by Ashley Karch

I had gotten my kid a previous version of the Housbay alarm clock with USB ports for Christmas and it was alright, worked well. Didn't think much of it but this new model came out and I was curious to compare.This is quite an upgrade from the previous model. Yes, it only comes in white at the moment but I don't mind. What I will say is the numbers on this are crisp! There are dials for adjusting brightness of the digits and separately for adjusting brightness of the nightlight. Aside from that, the light can be turned on or off with the snooze button at the top. This clock allowed us to turn off the night light that had been on in my kid's room 24/7 for years and he liked that I let him pick how bright he wanted this to be.I also like that the USB ports being on the back on this model are an improvement as well. Makes it so the front of the clock doesn't have to be so wide and the cables don't pull it in odd directions. It charges other devices well, such as my kid's Kindle Fire Kids tablet.I have not yet tested the alarm or similar associated functions because that's not my personal use of this.As for the parts that I'm not as excited about. It doesn't have a normal charging port. It requires a USB-A to USB-A male to male cable rather than any other charging adapter. This could be confusing to some or annoying if anything happens to the cable vs if they'd used a standard USB-C or Micro USB. I'm assuming they could get more power out of it this way for charging other devices but there must be other ways to do it. It could be because of that or possibly other reasons that lately we've been having issues charging. One, it charges slowly. Takes most of the day/night to charge the kid's Kindle Fire. I'm still testing other cables to see if that's the issue.Overall, I'm not knocking any stars off for those minor things as so far it has worked out as designed with no issues.
