LATEC Digital Alarm Clock with Big LED Temperature Display, Bedside Clock with 13 Alarm Sounds, USB Charging Port, 4 Levels Adjustable Brightness Dimmer, Snooze, Portable Mirror Alarm with Dual Alarm

Really good clock, bought for my daughter to stop her coming through too early in the morning. Easy to use and set the time and alarms. Brightness can be adjusted to suit. Nice size, easy to read display too. Very well priced and the battery lasts for ages.

I searched a lot for a new alarm clock, and this one has exceeded expectations, despite being from an unrecognised brand.Firstly, the form factor is nice - it’s compact but not too small, and the mirrored finish and lack of branding is great. It actually looks good on the bedside table. The display fills the front panel in a way that looks quite premium.Usability is good - decent easy-to-press buttons. It’s very clear when the alarm is set, and when it isn’t. No need to double-check that you’re going to be woken up!One review said that it makes noise while it’s operating. I worried about this, but it isn’t true at all. Plugged in, the clock display is always on and brightness can be adjusted. I prefer to have it unplugged most of the time, and the display comes on when you touch the clock or make a sound. This is great for checking the time in the dark.The snooze function works well with a light tap on the top. Alarms are set with an actual hardware switch, which feels reassuring if you’re relying on this to wake you up.There are lots of alarm tones to choose from. If I had any criticism, I suppose that about half of these were not to my liking. But that’s a personal thing, and there are four or five decent ones - which is enough for both alarms to be different.For the price, this is a great piece of kit.

Quite a good little clock easy to see and use handy battery backup but the only downside is that when the mains power is removesd or stopped the main display goes out, a bit of a fiddle when setting alarms but can be done, luckily had a spare power adaptor hanging aroung as this was needed to charge the internal battery up ,not quite sure how long the unit will last on this battery as to see a constant time you need to keep it powered up

- Overview -I have been using two of the LATEC digital clocks now for about 6 months. One being at my permanent address and the other being at university. The clock works via a micro usb cable connected to the mains or you can use the built in battery which when the clock detects sound it temporarily turns on.- Appearance -I think the digital clock is quite nice looking overall. It has a large enough screen and numbers to be able to read this from afar. While it is small enough to easily allow this to be used if travelling. The clock also features a temperature node which I have not tested to see how accurate it is but its helpful to have.- Setup -Setting up was fairly straight forward, personally I use this just as a clock but it is good to know you can wakeup with one or two alarms. The clock also allows the temperature to be in Celsius or Fahrenheit as well as 12/24hr time.- Use -As mentioned before I have used this clock for about 6 months which I tend to keep plugged in as I like being able to look up and see the time without having to clap my hands (to make the require 90 ish decibels) The clock changes brightness during the day and evening as well as having different light levels meaning you can get a good nights rest if this is close by. My old clock illuminated my whole room in blue, this fortunately does not. The screen of the clock can be used as a mirror however I have not used it as one yet.- Conclusion -The clock comes in at a reasonable price for what it packs and in a few colour variations. I personally am impressed with the clock hence why I ended up buying a second one. The clock has many options as I have stated above. The clock being a mirror may mean you occasionally can get a reflection however I angled mine to prevent this as well as closing the curtains when taking a picture for this review.

Positives first: The clock looks nice. The backlit LCD is excellent with no light leaking through the dark digits. It keeps time well. The temperature readout is useful. Negatives: It has no light sensor, so you have to constantly set the brightness by cycling through the different levels. One quirk: when set at the lowest light level, mine gets brighter at midnight (0:00). Brightness is controlled by a single touch sensor on the top, so it's very easy to change brightness by accident. The minimum brightness is a bit too bright (lights up my room) but might not bother everyone. The alarms are low-bitrate sound samples that aren't particularly pleasant, but will definitely wake you up! When not plugged in, you have to clap loudly to see the time - which isn't always practical (you'll wake everyone up!) In summary, it's a nice clock with lots of features, but I'd be happy to lose 90% of these features for basic automatic brightness and a lower, lowest brightness (I currently put it face down to sleep).

A super bedside alarm clock. 2 alarms settings are so good.Rechargeable and a little red light reminds you when it requires charging. Make sure you charge it up as soon as this comes on.A bit of a pain setting up and changing the alarms but would still recommend this product

It needs plugging in to remain on. If on battery it will only illuminate if you make a noise. The button on the top when pressed like a traditional alarm clock does illuminate but it’s the button which changes brightness level.I have no use for this as I don’t intend on plugging a small alarm clock in to the mains. There should be a setting which allows the clock display to remain on with battery only.

I bought it three years ago and I have no problem with the item. Very good product and easy to use. Perfect size and good looking as well.
