Review on ⏰ Magnasonic USB Charging Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projection, Battery Backup, Auto Time Set, Dual Alarm, 1.2-inch LED Display for Smartphones & Tablets - EAAC475W by Mike Messerly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

AWESOME bedside alarm clock

I've been using the Electrohome EAAC475W for a little over 2 years and in terms of features I have to say it's my favorite. Getting the LED display right is crucial for me (I absolutely hate backlit LCDs). Charging was an important feature. I decided to try the projection version and was surprised at how much I (and my wife) like this feature. The dim red time projected onto the ceiling at night is very unobtrusive. (I wish you could see it during the day too, but that's less important.) I'd prefer a red LED to a white one, but the white isn't too bright, especially on the darkest settings, which doesn't bother me even at night, but is still visible during the day. I rarely use the radio as I prefer (need) beeps to wake me up. Sound quality isn't great, but then again, beeps work great for me. I sometimes use my bedside clock for talk radio, which is fine for talk radio, and I have a real stereo when I need serious sound quality. My main objection is that the user interface is not very good. But since I work at a normal MF job and there are two alarms, I don't have to mess around much. I love the alarms 5 days a week and the fact that they let me sleep on the weekends. And it's different on the weekends when I have to get up anyway, so I either take the time to set an alarm or just use my phone on those unique days. and the like), for a bedside alarm clock, this Electrohome is definitely number 1 for me.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
