ACU-RITE 130271 Alarm clock

 (5 customer reviews)

Bought this self setting clock and was so excited because we loose power often and thought this was the answer to my aggravation with outages. After two weeks I was so pleased, I went out and bought another. Perfect!
Except... The lights on both clocks are failing. The 0 looks like an upside down U and the 2 looks like a ?
Wish just for once someone would take a great concept and make a good product.
Disappointed with Acu Rite.

I was so pleased with my previous purchase (at Walmart) that I purchased more at Amazon.com. I made my Amazon purchase just after daylight savings time and the frustration of resetting clocks. I am still amazed that you plug this clock in and it knows the time and it changes to and from daylight savings time automatically. All clocks and watches should be like this acurite alarm clock. Vendors would probably sell more if the product link was easier to find or they took the hyphen out of the name acu-rite. The postman walked the product to my door!

The numbers blink incessantly and randomly. one of the settings isnt even in numbers. the buttons dont listen when you try to scroll through the options. and to top it all off, the big selling point, the fact that it "knows the time", is an hour of whenever you plug it in.
