Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really wanted to like this projection clock. It looks great and has several very nice features. Unfortunately it looks much better than it works.
I have had two of these in the last week. The first one that I brought home wouldn't receive FM transmissions very well, the tuning wheel is not marked, so tuning is by guess and by golly. I managed to tune it by using a portable radio and getting matching stations. Once tuned, the display became a fascinating presentation of seemingly random numbers. The numbers are not the numbers of the tuned station and vary from 71.0 to 102.6. After a bit the numbers stabilize and the display returns to the time (which is accurate).
The second one seemed to be OK for tuning, that is the numbers were stable even though not the numbers to which it was tuned...today it began the random number generation that the first one had from the beginning. The FM signal fades in and out as you walk around the room.
The clock face is quite bright, but I tamed it with some widow tinting film. The projection of time and temperature is very bright and the light around its edges lights up the room like the full moon. It is bright enough to cast shadows. I tried various means to control the excess light (paper towel tubes, more window film, etc.) but nothing works. I really need a dark room when trying to sleep.
The unit is very light, and pushing any of the buttons on the front require that you hold it still; by doing this, you press one or more of the many buttons on the back which causes some interesting but unintended actions.
The sending and or receiving of the outside temperature is sporadic. Some times is will be off for a few hours and then redisplay; some times I must bring the sending unit into the house to get the display back (the sender is less than 20 feet away with only one wall between it and the base).
I really wanted to like this unit, it looks real nice and has many of the functions that I want...unfortunately it doesn't work very well...it goes back to Bed Bath and Beyond tomorrow...my search for the ideal projection clock continues.
