Love this clock! It’s nice and bright to be able to see in the dark. I love the large bold numbers. I bought one for my mom and she’s thrilled that she can finally see the clock at night in her bedroom.

MESQOOL CR1008 DIGITAL LED ALARM CLOCK
Okay, here’s the scoop. I’m an old man, so I’m old school when it comes to alarm clocks. I came from a generation that believed in having a substantial door-stop of an alarm clock that had a CD player, AM/FM radio, portable TV and a toaster oven on it. After looking in Walmart, and literally spending a few hours over a couple of days browsing through Amazon, I realized I wasn’t going to find a quality, well-made alarm clock that checked all the boxes for me.When I thought I found something I liked, it got terrible reviews. In fact, I didn’t find one alarm clock that got overwhelmingly positive reviews. That’s problematic.So, I had no choice. I had to take a risk.I took it on the Mesqool CR1008 Digital LED Alarm Clock, made in the good ole People’s Republic of China. In case you didn’t know it, America doesn’t make anything anymore. We import everything. And they call that progress.The footprint on this clock is 6-1/2″ long X 3-1/4″ high X 1-3/4″ deep. Not very big- but okay. The crisp blue numbers are a shade over 1-3/4″ high. In the upper left is a 1/8″ blue AM or PM (and a 1/8″ DST, for Daylight Savings time below that); and in the lower right, a 1/8″ blue ALM when the alarm is engaged (which blinks during the time the snooze is engaged). The alarm is loud, but not obnoxious.It is powered with an AC adapter cord. It has a battery back-up (2-AAA). But the batteries only save your settings. During a power outage, the time is not displayed, and your alarm will not go off. So, what’s the use, right?On the top, on each side, is a 15/16″ HOUR and MIN button to set the time and alarm. I’ve been using this about 3 weeks now and it is keeping excellent time. Between those 2 buttons are a 3-1/2″ X 1-1/8″ stylized-shaped button that serves as a snooze button. You can snooze the alarm for 9 minutes, and the instructions say you can do that every 9 minutes- and gives no limitation. I’ve done it quite a few times, and there doesn’t seem to be a limit, but you might want to test that for yourself, so you know for sure. That button also doubles as a way to engage the night light which has 8 settings: no light, oyster white, sunrise orange, green, cobalt blue, sky blue, violet, and shocking pink. I am a little color blind, so for me, the white was really close to the sky blue, the orange looked red, and I guess what I thought was cobalt blue was actually violet. Regardless, it is a nice feature, and actually gives the room a nice glow, and makes an efficient night light.All the settings are on the back. Something else I had to get used to. Can’t have the front looking cluttered, can we? All of these are black, except for 2. There is a dimmer switch (low-high), time format switch (12 hours-24 hours), alarm volume (low-medium-high), and alarm switch (on-off; which is red and sticks out a little farther than the rest). There is a set time button (which allows you to compensate for daylight savings time), and a set alarm button. A neat feature is an alarm pause button; which is red and sticks out a little farther than the rest. Obviously the purpose of this is so you can reach around and feel for it with your hand to find it easier. When you press the pause button, it basically sets the alarm for the next day. There are also 2 USB charging ports on the back to charge your phone, watch or tablet.It comes with a 1-year warranty (but you can get an 18-month extended warranty on their website), and replacement service within 3 months.This little thing has a lot of features for its size, and it’s very unique; and even though it is probably something that would appeal more to kids rather than adults, I’m happy with the quality. It remains to be seen how long this thing will last. If I can get a few years out of it, I’ll probably buy another one. Yep, it’s really that unique.

BUY THIS CLOCK!
I love this clock! We use it for time and the NIGHT LIGHT!! GREAT feature! Plenty of colors to choose from. This clock is easy to set. Alarm set is easy too. The cord is also long! It is perfect for my 7 year old to have a little ambiance, extra light (he loves the light blue one) and time manages. I tell him when its time to get off of his video games or when we need to head out to run errands and he really does learn how to time manage. This is an excellent clock for a child or adult too!

Lasted 3-6 months. Pure JUNK!
UPDATE: After 3 months, I was not able to adjust the minutes. After trying for 20 minutes to correct it, I gave it up as a lost cause. At that point, I should have just bought a new clock, given that the USB ports had already quickly gone from very slow to totally dead. But I figured I could remember that’s it’s 4 minutes slow. Three months after that, for no discernible reason, it just stopped working entirely, except for the night light. But the time would not display at all, no matter how hard I tried to correct this vital function. I recognized as soon as it arrived that this is a piece of junk. I should have returned it then. Lesson learned the hard way! While it’s not an expensive item, it’s not worth even 5 cents. Don’t waste any money on this worthless article.******I bought this to replace a 29 year old alarm clock. I was shocked at how light weight and flimsy it is. A light nudge will send it flying. Any movement of the table it is on topples it. It does keep good, accurate time. I also like the ability to decrease or increase the brightness of the numbers showing the time. The process of turning off the alarm, however, is so inconvenient that I have taken to using my cell phone for that purpose, which is about half of the main function of this device. I like that there is a built in night light on the top of the clock. But why seven colors? One white one would be sufficient. That’s s the only one I use. Or for the picky, perhaps three colors at most! It would be nice to be able to adjust the intensity of the night light, but that option is not available.MOST disappointing is the fact that the USB ports quickly went from barely functional to wholly non-functional very quickly. The two USB ports were a great selling point for me, so I could charge my phone and tablet close to my bed while I slept, instead of having to put them farther away to be charged near another plug outlet. The first thing I discovered was that these ports are very low powered and slow speed. It took the entire night to charge a phone that was already at 70%. But after six weeks, these ports totally stopped working, and would not charge my devices at all! I’m beyond disappointed, and now am waiting to see how long other functions will last. I hardly imagine this alarm clock will last 29 years, like my previous one.I simply cannot recommend this clock, at all!
