Title: Sound the alarm
Product review: I bought two of these Chaney Instruments digital alarm clocks to replace our old ones. The new ones are pretty, have large easily visible numbers and change for daylight saving time easily. Unfortunately the clocks have a serious design flaw.The little vent for the alarm speaker is on the bottom of the clocks. With the clocks setting flat on a night stand the sound of the alarm is so weak it can hardly be heard. Really, it is so anemic I had to hold the clock up to my ear to hear it.In fact, I set my clock to go off this morning as a test. The alarm didn't wake me up. One might think the moron who designed these clocks could have guessed that putting the alarm vent in a spot where it is covered up was not a good idea.I saw some complaints about this problem with a weak alarm sound in the reviews, but thought they might be exaggerated. They weren't. This thing is a dud as an alarm clock. You would be better off buying a rooster. At least you could hear the crowing in the morning.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
