My one complaint is that the display light for the front of the clock is too bright, even in its 'dim' setting. It lights up my entire night stand like having a 'night-light' plugged in. It's a bother on sleepless nights. When you turn it away from you, the ceiling projection is sideways. On the bright side, (pun intended), I don't have to switch on a light if I make a bathroom trip in the middle of the night. This bothersome feature is why I gave it a 4-rating instead of a 5. Perhaps Magnasonic can work on improving this feature.This clock is pretty good over-all. The radio is a nice feature but the speakers just don't quite cut it. Too much over-all distortion in the sound quality. The clock works well, and seems to maintain good time. Easy too use buttons and nice alarm features like M-F one time set. Two seperate alarms and the Clock does project very well plus the ability to flip your projection display 180 degrees. The one feature that needs improvement is the display light on the unit itself. It is so bright even in the dim mode that it lights up the room. So if you prefer to sleep in the dark you might want to think about this one feature. On the bright side I purchased this clock from Amazon and all was handled very well. Easy to purchase and delivery was as notified.I literally searched for months for a clock radio with certain features. I wanted all of these features in one unit: digital radio tuner, large number display, option to dim and/or turn off display light, two alarms, a time projection, easy to program, a small footprint, AND all that at a reasonable price. This little radio has all of that and then some. I love the weight of it...sturdy. It has a contemporary look and feel to it. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase.Magnasonic Projection Clock Radio with Dual Alarms, Self Set and Temperature DisplayI bought this clock for my 90 year old mother so she could tell the time at night. Worked great for 3 weeks then failed. I called the Warranty number and was told to send the clock back and they would replace it. Sounds good except the Warranty company is in Canada. I used UPS ground for $16.00 on a $24 clock. Okay, I may not be real smart. Extra pricy per UPS due to international shipping. I chose to go ahead and ship. So now the clock cost is $40.00. When it reached Canada,the Canadian Customs attached a $33. Broker Fee to deliver the clock to MESA the warranty co. So now my $24 clock will cost $73.00. By the way MESA customer service reps confirmed it is too expensive to fix them when they get there; they just send out new ones. They will not pay the $33 nor ship me a new one until I pay the $33.00. I suppose I could fight this but for $24.00??? At least you are now warned. Plan on no warranty if you buy this clock.
Amazon did help by refunding me the $33. Broker fee on a one time exception basis. I decided to start over with a LaCross Projection Clock instead and I used Amazon due to their help.
So, BUYER BEWARE!I bought this clock because I've never had a projector clock before and I love blue... so since it lights up blue on the face I just had to get it. I know others have complained about the brightness even when on the dim setting. But don't let that discourage you. There is also a setting for the face to turn off completely and then if you hit the snooze button in the middle of the night to check the time the face comes on for about 15 or 20 seconds and goes back off. If you don't want to lean over, use the projector on the ceiling or wall. It controls the alarms to go on only m-f or m-t.. whatever you want. The temperature gauge is accurate and I find it handy. My only complaint would be that the projector color is red rather than blue lol
