Buyer Beware!,

This review is from: 15334 Loud Twin Bell Alarm Clock (Electronics)
I bought one of these because power outtages are common where I live and wanted something that didn't require any "juice" to be able to read the time..and an alarm I could rely on....plus, I really liked the look. It's a cool looking clock. BUT...getting it to keep time was a challenge. It took constant adjusting and I finally got to a point where the time keeping was "ok" and quit messing with it. The real bummer? It just STOPPED RUNNING! I never overwound it...I did everything right...it just quit. It would run for an hour or so and stop...same thing over and over. DON'T buy this clock unless you want to throw away your money like I did. Plus, if it quits on you, obviously you CAN'T DEPEND ON IT! You've been warned!

Perfect! I'd bought every electronic alarm clock, plain-cool, cheap to expensive ($100!), none would succeed at primary purpose to wake my son for school. Finally last resort I decided to go old school... Success!! He wakes to this every time. :)
