Braun Travel Alarm Clock AB1A White

 (6 customer reviews)

I like everything about this clock. It's just what I wanted, small and neat, classic, "handsome," and seems to keep good time. The only objection I have is that the alarm is very quiet, too quiet. I don't like to be startled or jangled away; I do like ascending alarms. I've only set the alarm one time (& can't now remember if it got louder as it went along but i don't think so), and found it very soft. If I want to be sure to wake up, I'll set another clock alongside it.

So, this nice little clock would get 5 stars except for the alarm volume.

- It is quiet, but not silent. If your head is within two feet of the clock, the ticking is clearly audible and annoying. One morning, I woke up and realized that in the middle of the night I had tossed the clock into the nightstand to escape the sound.

- It is too expensive for what it is ... it's very tiny, it's simple, it's plastic. When I opened the box, I had to laugh out loud ... I couldn't believe I had paid so much for it. It seems like a $9.99 clock to me.

- The alarm is a little on the quiet side (which I prefer). It is not a loud, jarring alarm if you're looking for that.

- At first I thought I'd be okay not seeing the time at night. But after a while, I really wish it did have glow in the dark hands or something.

clock is well made and works fine. numbers easy to read as well. Amazon was the only place I could find this item..would purchase more if needed
