Coby CRA108BLK Digital AM/FM Jumbo Alarm Clock Radio - Black

 (18 customer reviews)

I bought this clock for the exercise room for the big bright numerals. And it's great for that. It keeps time and is easy to read from across the room. But even with the backup battery installed it doesn't actually save the time for even a 48-second outage... the time from the power going out to my backup generator kicking in. Huh?

I would have paid double to not have to reach up and reset the thing after every power outage, which are pretty common out here.

I have had this clock for about a month now and I love it. The numbers are large and bright, perfect for checking the time across the room at 3 am. The battery back-up works great on my clock, I have unplugged and moved it serval times without a single reset. The controls are pretty easy to navigate; the radio has great reception with the external antenna, the tuning is not real precise but at this price point what can you expect. I would recommend this clock.

Really BIG numbers. Plenty bright, but has 2 brightness levels. Radio leaves a little to be desired, but as an alarm clock, or a clock for those with poor vision, I think this is a good value.
