I was shopping for a projection clock for a while, reading reviews, etc. But then I got this one, which had no reviews. Why? – It was twice cheaper, and I assumed it couldn’t be twice worse.

So far I haven’t been mistaken. For $12 you get 2 clocks and an alarm radio. Not bad.

Notes:

1. Like many other projection clocks out there, the projection clock is independent from the one on the unit display, so you need to set both. It seems ridiculous, but could be a feature, if for some reason you need two different times set.

2. The projection clock is more flexible in settings. You can have 12 or 24-hour style of time display and have it alternate between time and date, if you’d like. Personally, I find alternation flashing annoying, and I don’t really need to be reminded of the date every 3 seconds or so. The main unit clock only shows time and only 12 am/pm style.

3. The projection image is a little weak, but good for full darkness. You can’t see it, if you have a night lamp on. But then there’s the main unit screen. On the plus side, the image is not disturbingly bright at night.

4. Maybe it’s my locality, but AM reception is way more clear than FM. I could not get any reasonable reception from FM at all.

5. There’s a battery back up, and the projector image stays on constantly (or could be switched off entirely).

6. The setting of the time(s) is not very intuitive. I had to look at the instructions.

I haven’t tried alarm.

In summary, this is a great deal for the money.

I was looking for a projection alarm clock, for a long time, and everything I saw was very expensive and still didn’t meet my standards. Finally I found this one and was reluctant to buy, since it didn’t ahve any reviews. But I saw that it was a fast moving product with lot of people buying it, hence decided to give it a try. And I am happy to say that Iam really satisfied with thsi product for the price I paid. Its a decent clock with a decent price tag.
