Digital camera reviews of RiteAlarm 5-1-1 Triple Weekly Alarm Clock (Silver) with Weekday, Saturday and Sunday Alarms, Extended Daylight Saving Time, Automatic Snooze, Simple and Meaningful Buttons, Adjustable Volume, Gentle Sound Pattern, Pushing Backlight and Battery Operated
Digital camera Review: Great for my needs and for the price, but has flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this as a second alarm clock for our room since I usually wake up earlier than my husband. It has some problems as a product but for me it's perfect. I like the adjustable volume (hold in the Up or Down button to adjust, or you can lay it on it's back to block the speaker.) and husband can sleep through it easily. Also I like that it beeps twice, then waits, then beeps louder, etc. After seeing on reviews that people have probs with the snooze button I already knew I would just turn the alarm off and on every day and not chance the snooze. So I just push the alarm button to turn it off in the morning and reset it before I got ot bed. I do have the same problem that the snooze button does not make contact consistently, but luckily I never snooze. I think the addition of an alarm reset button would help a lot rather than the double click snooze to turn it off but I don't mind just turning it off. I suppose you could also just turn it off and right back on in the morning if you didn't want to bother resetting it at night. But otherwise it's just fine, and the price is certainly good. I like that it has the date, day and time as well as a daylight savings option. I have not had to use the Saturday/Sunday alarms yet but it's a nice feature. Customer service at Rayna was very nice and quick to respond when I emailed them. (I didn't know how to choose a color. Still don't but I got the right one anyhow.) Had it not been so affordable I would have thought more about the flaws but really I couldn't find anything with these features anywhere near this price range.Digital camera Review: I like its triple alarms, especially for the weekend.
Summary: 5 Stars
Strengths: Unique triple alarms, clear alarm display, gentle sound for an alarm clock.
Weaknesses: Battery operated only, not an atomic clock.
Details: I've had this clock for a couple of months now. Overall, I'm pleased with it. It's not the best looking devices out there, but its functions are unique. According to my research, this is the only alarm clock that has separate Saturday and Sunday alarms, which is very important for me. I wish this can be improved as an atomic alarm clock for added accuracy.
Its price is fair (I paid $18 with shipping), and it is very easy to use. The buzz is gentle, and ye-bye my old alarm clocks. I am glad that I survived their moring shocks for years.
Digital camera Review: Inexpensive and easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I use an alarm seven days a week, but it's set for a different time on the weekend. I have trouble remembering to reset it, so I was looking for a clock that had different alarm times for the weekend. This is it. You can set three different alarm times, one for Monday-Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday. It's easy to set, and it takes care of daylight saving time automatically. It uses its calendar to do that, and the calendar is set to the new extended DST. Hopefully, our Wise Congressmen won't change it again.Digital camera Review: It does a nice job
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, is not perfect:
1) It easily falls on it's back.
2) Need to hit the top button twice to turn it off (if you hit once you get the snooze mode)
Besides that, is a nice item:
1) Nice alarm sound pattern (it starts smoothly and it gives you the time to react without waking up the whole family)
2) You can set the 3 alarms: one for working days (Mon-Fri), one for Sat and one for Sun
Digital camera Review: It is just for me and I like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to report to work Monday to Friday at the same time, and the weekday alarm clock is perfect for me. I have have different schedules in the two weekend days, recently sending my child to early morning soccer game on Saturdays, and always taking my family to church on Sundays.
Its sound pattern is also very good, which wakes me up gradually and gently.
