Great clock, but doesn't live up to its potential,

I generally only review a product if it's really bad, really good, or as in this case, a very good product with lots of room for improvement to make it even better. I've only owned and been using this product for a few days, so this is a preliminary review, but so far I have noticed a lot of both good and bad with it.
First, there are several features of this clock, some that are less prominent and therefore not mentioned in the description or anywhere else. These are as follows:
-When setting alarms, it starts at 7am. This is great, because you don't have to sit there forever on each alarm changing it from midnight to whatever time you get up in the morning. Most people get up around 7-8, not midnight. I can't believe this isn't more common in alarm clocks, and it's one of many things that shows the ingenuity of the designers.
-Set and preference buttons need to be held for a couple seconds before they bring up the menu, avoiding accidental menu...Read more

Good idea, but quirky features and bottom-of-the barrel reliability make this a clock you should avoid!,

I used this this alarm clock for about 2 years; notice the past tense on this. The title of this review sums it up - the ideas behind the alarm clock are quite nice but the execution is really sub par.
*** Let's start off with what was nice about the clock ***
- The customization really was well above what you'd find on any other alarm clock
- There's a descending snooze feature that I really liked - in fact it was the single feature that sold me on the clock
- It seems (note the keyword seems) to be solidly built
- It's not bad on the eyes
- Aux in lets you hook up your MP3 player of choice
*** Now the neutrals ***
- This point is probably very subjective, but the more I used the clock, I actually kind of had to ask myself why? I have a somewhat regular schedule (I work a 9/80 schedule and on the weekends I wake up when I wake up) as does the GF. The different alarm banks were nice, but in the end it was a pain to set them up and...Read more

This review is from: American Innovative Neverlate Executive Alarm Clock (Kitchen)
I never, ever thought I would pay 60 bucks for an alarm clock but I got so sick of setting and resetting my alarm clock for several years. I am a school teacher who is split between two different schools that begin at two different times. I also take classes on Saturday mornings for my masters degree. So that is 3 different alarms needed each week, so each night I am rewinding or forwarding my alarm wake times for the following day or changing the setting from weekday to weekend. So I splurged and bought this 7 days alarm clock. I used this clock this week and it worked GREAT!!!!!!! I didn't have a single problem and I never touched my clock once. I personally love the different alarm choices offered. The manual describes several situations where this clock will help you:
"I am a single person and I get up at the same time each day."
"We're are two people and we each get up at the same time each day, but my spouse/partner gets up before I do."...Read more
