The clock doesn’t have an “off switch,” once it turns on it is on the whole time. So I decided to put the batteries in backwards so that I could just flip them around the right way when I wanted to use it and it wouldn’t work anymore. I couldn’t use the travel alarm clock for my whole trip (12 days).

Who cares about what it looks like, the whole purpose of an alarm clock is to make sure you wake up on time. This alarm isn’t loud enough for heavy sleepers like me. I tried using this a couple of times and both times I ended up not hearing it, overslept, and was late for my college class. Which, btw, seriously ticked me off. I bought it because another reviewer had said the alarm was loud…sorry, but it’s not.
It now sits unused in my desk drawer. Total waste of money.

I wanted a simple travel alarm that would be SURE to wake me up and is reasonably priced. This is EXACTLY what I wanted! I odered two. I especially like the cover; it covers the control buttons but leaves the display visible. The slider switch is a bit flimsy, but it works just fine. The 4 minute snooze is not adjustable, but it is good for traveling – you really do need to get up when the alarm goes off.

What I like best about the Elgin travel alarm clock is the large, blue back-lit display. The slide buttons to set the alarm and time are a little tricky to use because they tend to stick a little, but it is not enough of a problem for me to give it a lower rating. The exterior is hard plastic and I would have liked it to feel a little sturdier, but it keeps the weight and price down. All in all not a bad product.
