Large Alarm Clock 9" LED Digital Display Dual Alarm with USB Charger Port 0-100 Dimmer for Seniors Simple Bedside Big Number Alarm Clocks for Bedrooms

Awesome clock! Huge numbers. I got the one with green numbers and it is really easy to read. I had purchased a different clock that also had nice large numbers but they were a dark blue that, while pretty, were completely unreadable. It had a curved shiny face that reflected everything making it even harder to read.Not with this clock!! I even like the shade of green!! The dimmer is just perfect. I adjusted it so it was just bright enough with the lights on and during the day and I found it to be perfect at night, too. That really works for me as I didn't want to have to adjust it all the time. The clock is relatively easy to set, although it's a press this button and then release and THEN press that button type of interface, not the far more common hold this button down and press some other button.I really appreciate the 12/24 hour time setting. I prefer 24 hour time as it is unambiguous . BTW, when you are setting the clock, you will cycle through various setting until you get to one that says "05". That's how long you set the snooze function for. Also, hitting the snooze button during normal operation will display the date information.The stand is plenty sufficient to keep the clock upright. I've had clocks that looked cool, but fell over constantly. Not this one. The power supply it comes with has a nice long cord so the clock can sit on top of something even if it's pretty high up in the air.I haven't tried the USB charging ports or the alarm as I need it primarily as just a clock so I can't report on them. In addition, I just got the thing yesterday, so I have no knowledge of it's durability. Lastly, I have the clock plugged into an uninterruptible power supply, so I doubt I'll ever know if the internal battery backup works.Totally a five star purchase, particularly at this price point (~$15 USD). I'd buy another one in an instant if I had a need for one!

[SEE THE UPDATE AT THE END]Let's face it, they just don't make quality alarm clocks like they did many years ago. Now, it's the Wild West out there with so many to choose from, with names you can't pronounce, but it's like playing Russian Roulette. Most are made in China, you're not going to get away from that. I spent a couple hours on Amazon researching clocks, and to cover myself, ordered two different models. Fortunately I picked two winners.I was looking for nice size alarm clock with large numbers. This fit the bill. It has a 3" digital readout with big, robust, green numbers. Kinda didn't like the green, but few clocks have numbers this big, so I can live with it. Would be nearly perfect with a nice cobalt blue. There is an adjustment wheel on the right side to dim it if you need to.The unit is powered with an adapter that plugs into the back, between two USB ports to charge cell phones. Also on the back, is the compartment for the included CR2032 lithium battery back-up. In case of a power outage, the display will go blank, and the alarm will not sound, but your time and alarm settings will be saved.Pretty much all the action takes place on the top, which is convenient. This clock has two alarms, and the alarm is loud. In the middle is the snooze button. On each side of that are 2 adjustment buttons to go forward in time, or backward in time, when you are setting the time and alarm. There are two buttons on the left, TIME|SET and AL1.2|SET; and there are two buttons on the right AL2|ON-OFF and AL1|ON-OFF.Press the TIME|SET button once and the hours will blink. Use the two adjustment buttons to set the correct hour. Pressing and holding it will accelerate the process. Hit the button again, the minutes will blink. Hit the button again and you can choose between 12H and 24H for standard time and 24-hour military time. When you choose standard time, you'll get AM and PM icons on the display. Press the button again and select the correct year. Press the button again and select the correct month. Press the button again and select the correct day. Press the button again, and you can select from 5 to 60 to choose how many minutes you want your snooze to be. This is a real neat feature, as most others are permanently set at 9 minutes, which go by pretty quickly. If you want to check the month, date, day of week and year, press the snooze button.Press the AL1.2 button and on the display the A1, first alarm LED indicator will be lit, and the hours will blink. Use the two adjustment buttons to set the correct hour. Press the button again, the minutes will blink. Press the button again and the default of "1-7" will be displayed, representing the wake-up days. Use the adjustment buttons to choose from "1-5" (Mon-Fri), "6-7" (Sat-Sun), and "1-7" (Mon-Sun). Press the button again, and do the same thing for A2, the second alarm.The other two buttons, AL2|ON-OFF and AL1| ON-OFF, are used to turn on the alarms, and when they are engaged, their respective LED indicators will be lit. The alarm will sound for four minutes if no action is taken.To shut-off the alarm, press ANY button except for the Snooze button, and it will automatically be set for the next day. When the alarms are engaged, pressing these buttons will disengage them.The clock has a little stand at the bottom which has a couple rubber feet to help keep it from sliding.The instructions are very clear, and they have a instructional video on YouTube under "Kstar ANJANK -- The Teaching Video of AC-182 Large Alarm Clock."If you're looking for a clock that is a little larger, this one is very impressive, well made, and user friendly.[UPDATE]I purchased this 12/29/20 along with a Dreamsky. I used the Dreamsky first. By 11/12/23 the display on the Dreamsky began to dim, so I began to use the Reacher. I really like this clock. It was easy to read, and keeps good time. However, on 12/09/23, the alarm failed. I was very disappointed. Now, I want to be fair about this. Did it fail because it is not a good alarm clock; or did it fail, because the components were already 3 years old? I don't know. To me, you should always have a spare alarm clock, in case your alarm clock fails. I know many people use the alarm on their phone. I never felt comfortable with that, and I would rather have an actual alarm clock.I'm not going to alter my original assessment. It wouldn't be right. However, be aware, if you purchase this as a spare, over time, it may deteriorate and not function after a certain length of time.

Product is very functional; in fact with two separate alarms it is more functionality than I need. I got it for the larger display - but I didn't calculate the size of the display very well as it is huge. When my daughter first saw it, she referred to it as my "scoreboard". Display brightness is adjustable, but alarm volume is not. Set up for time and alarm is very easy.

I bought this for my elderly mother who has poor eyesight. She was unable to see the alarm clock next to her bed during the night. This clock's face is bright green and she can see it over 10 feet away from the corner of her room without any problems. The numbers are large and as stated, very bright. I think it makes for a good nightlight as well.Would recommend this for someone who has problems with seeing the much smaller alarm clock faces.I am not reviewing the alarm or any other functions on the clock as she doesn't use any of them.

Light dims to what you want numbers very easy to read love it

Overall it is a good alarm clock. The numbers can be dim or full. easy to read day or night. Setting the clock is a lil misleading , when you read the instruction book. then you will see how easy it is. The alarms itself are loud and will easily wake you up.Only con I have the usb ports... I had read of another customer complaining that it causes the clock to shut down or turn off. It still does.. I found though. if you turned your cell off before charging it was alright. BUT I have just noticed that it also turns the clock or or shuts it off temporarily, So I recommend if you use another way to charge it using a wall plug or such.. I haven't had the clock fail on Me at a wrong time.. But I think enough of us have other ways to charge our phones

I just wanted a larger, easily read alarm clock. So glad I chose this one. It's perfect for me.
