AM / FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Wave Sensor

After my old alarm clock became unreliable I embarked on my quest to find a replacement. I figured I would find one with some new features that my old alarm clock was lacking. This would be the ability to not go off on weekends without having to constantly remember to set or unset it based on the day. After coming across this Jensen, I determined that this had the functionality I was looking for. For the most part, it is pretty much as advertised. The ability to wave your hand over the top is kind of a novelty. Doing so also cycles through the temp and displays the two currently set alarms. It is also very easy to read. I find the green night light on the bottom of it weird and reminiscent of being on a borg ship, so, I have simply turned it off. Two things I am not fond of are the feel of pressing the buttons on the front and cancelling the alarm. The buttons seem to have a rather cheap feel to them, and also require more force than I would like. This also ads to the minor problem of cancelling the alarm when it goes off. While waving your hand over the top for the snooze works wonderfully, you must press one of the small buttons on the front to cancel. Since the unit doesn't weight a whole lot, this can be a two handed operation. This is not as simple as I would like first thing in the morning. In general, it is decently made, and for it's price is worth what is paid for it. Overall, I am happy with the purchase, and would recommend it to anybody seeking a slightly better than standard alarm clock for not a lot of money.

Wanted to use the clock before reviewing.

Pros:

nice big display, LOVE the feature of waving your hand over to snooze or get info eliminates the chance of hitting OFF instead of snooze, like the green night light, like the ramp up alarm, like that you can choose Mon-Fri or Mon-Sun for alarm, like the digital radio station selection, not too bright, slim, attractive

Cons:

The volume and tuner dials are not in a great place because you can easily change the volume and station when you pick it up. The volume dial is touchy so you can set it but if you accidentally touch it when you pick up the clock you can turn it down and you won't get woken up (if using radio). Does not have a weekend only (sat-sun) option for the alarm.

Other Comments:

Different than most alarm clocks to set up but once you understand it it's easy.

Wish List of changes to make the clock better:

1. Move the dials so they can't be accidentally touched when picked up & make them less sensitive

2. For the Alarm days add a option for weekend only (currently you can choose Mon-Fri or Mon-Sun)

i buy an alarm clock every year and half. And rather then waste tons of money on what will die out, this was good for the price and gives all that it promises. I love that it tells the temperature and plays my mp3 player. the green light is an added bonus and its small enough if you don't have a large space to put this.

I actually really like this clock. I purchased for my teenage son and the dual alarms along with the various day settings work great. It took awhile to figure out the 12/24 hour display at first I thought it 'could' only show military time but quickly figured this out. It would be great if the came with the back up battery especially given the price and that it does not take a standard 9V backup. I haven't gotten around to purchasing one yet which always tends to be the problem with non standard batteries.

This alarm clock does it all. Hand sensor to snooze and view temperature, completely darken at night if the dimmed choice is still too bright, night light if you like, 9 minute snooze, two alarms, choose alarms to go off only during the week if desired and choose between a beep or the radio. Great product!
