HOUSBAY Glow Small Alarm Clock Radio for Bedrooms with 7 Color Night Light, Dual Alarm, Dimmer, USB Charger, Battery Backup, Nap Timer, FM Radio with Auto-Off Timer for Bedside

UPDATE 2025: I ordered another of these clocks because it is one of the few clock radios that has all of the features I want - dual alarms, multiple dimming options, easy to set, and a battery backup. Since you use an alarm clock nearly every day, the features are important. While the original clock still works, it does not keep proper time and gains several minutes each week so you constantly had to reset it. Recently the alarm buttons became super finicky and it became very difficult to change the alarm time. I searched for a replacement but could not find one with these same features. Since the seller offered excellent customer service, I decided to give them another try.The new clock looks nearly identical to the old one with a few minor alterations. The clock is now powered with a standard electrical cord, which I believe solved the issue with the clock gaining time. The cord and plug remain cool. The volume control has been moved to the top of the clock. The 'alarm off' button has been removed and to turn off the alarm you press the corresponding alarm button which pauses the alarm for 24 hours. Since the alarm buttons no longer work on the first clock though rarely used, I do have some concern that the constant pressing of the alarm buttons will result in malfunction but hopefully that has been improved as well.Overall, I really like this clock. It has a small footprint, the large numbers are easy to see and you can dim it to a custom setting. The radio comes in loud and clear and you can use it (or a bird sound or beep) for the alarm. It has a USB slow charging port and a multicolored night light option if you are interested in those features. It uses 3 AAA batteries for backup so they are easy to replace. It has a large, easy to locate snooze button. It is extremely easy to set up and even includes some printed instructions on the back of the clock. The alarm settings are displayed beneath the time. It seems that the manufacturer has taken steps to make improvements and I hope they continue making this clock because believe me, I searched for clocks that had all of these features and it is nearly impossible to find one. The new, improved clock has resulted in changing the review from 3 to 5 stars._______________________________________________________________________________________UPDATE: The clock does not keep proper time. It gains 3-5 minutes per week so you have to reset it frequently. A clock really has one job and so its difficult to overlook this. Maybe I received a defective clock as I didn't see other complaints regarding this. I contacted the seller and they were very responsive and refunded my money immediately.ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is a nice, small alarm clock. It is very easy to set - the buttons are clearly marked and each button has one purpose. There is a night light with multiple colors (including off) and lights up all of the buttons on top.The radio works well - you can scan manually or auto-scan to preset the stations. It sounds better than I expected considering how small it is. There is also a sleep setting for the radio.The cord is about 3 ft long with a USB adapter included. The adapter got very hot within minutes of plugging it in - as in unsafe hot. Luckily I had another adapter on hand so I just swapped them out and after that, my adapter doesn't even get warm. I'm not sure if the original adapter was defective but it could be a fire hazard.The display is blue with large, thick numbers. The display has a dimmer wheel which can go from very bright to off and anywhere in between.The clock has a battery back-up (3 AAA batteries) that actually powers the clock when it is unplugged and not just for saving the settings.There are two alarms with three options for sound - the standard beep, birds chirping or the radio. The alarms can be set independently so each can use a different sound. The alarm volume can be adjusted. There is a 9-minute snooze and the button is large and easy to find. I like that each alarm setting is very clearly displayed beneath the time with the alarm time and the sound setting. Its nice to confirm the alarm is set by just glancing at the clock. There is one slow-charging USB port on the back of the clock.Overall, I'm happy with the clock. It has quite a few very useful features in a very small package. It looks nice and is very easy to use. I've only had it a few days but so far it seems to work well. The only complaint is the included USB adapter which got very hot very quickly. Luckily, I had another one available but that is a genuine concern and as a result, I have to lower the rating.

So I am old school and don't like using my phone as an alarm. I like music in the morning but didn't want to spend money for a docking device for an android. I wanted a good, old fashioned clock radio and this is exactly what I got and I LOVE IT!! The sound on the radio is great, the volume is perfect and the dual alarm is perfect as I have work and school schedules so I don't have to change the alarm times.It was exactly what I was looking for.***one thing, the colors on the top, I guess that can be used as a nitelite or whatever for ambiance? I turn off... way too bright for my liking, but that's not a reason not to buy the product. The colors are nice, I just don't use that specific function.

Its a good alarm clock, I bought it because I wanted to have the radio be the alarm, I like that there is also the option for birds and that you can set two alarms. My only complaint is that the antenna for the radio isn't very good. The only time I could get all the static gone was when I was holding it in my hand, otherwise there is constant static no matter where I placed it. I find this disappointing as I bought this so I could wake to the radio instead of a blaring alarm. I like that you can control the brightness of the display, as someone who doesn't like bright lights when trying to sleep it is nice that I can dim it.

I haven’t used this to wake up yet, but boy what a great little clock. In fact, I think I’m gonna order a second one.

Honestly, I never thought much about alarm clocks until I needed a new one and replaced it with a cheap Sharp (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NKB6GAY/). The Sharp got great reviews, but 1. the alarm shut off after snoozing for 1 hour, which wasn't advertised, and 2. you could only go forwards with the time when setting the alarm/clock, not also go backwards. So I moved that to the guest room and went on the hunt for another. After reviewing dozens (maybe hundreds?) of alarm clocks on Amazon, I settled on this one, and after using it for a few weeks, I'm happy to recommend it!Pros:- Can snooze more than 1 hour (I haven't tested it indefinitely to see if there's actually a limit, but the alarm keeps going off even after snoozing it for more than 1 hour)- Easy to read numbers: not tiny but not giant, and they don't look like dots from a distance like some do- Sturdy: it's not the thinnest out there, but that means it won't fall over when you fumble to hit a button. This thing is super steady.- Non-skid: It has soft pads on the bottom so 1. it has even less chance of moving around and 2. it won't scratch what it's on- Always displays the time & format of the alarm: I was a bit skeptical of this feature, as I thought I wanted a very clean clock face and was put off by the alarm clocks that showed time, alarm settings, weather, and generally a variety of things that made the screen rather busy. But I actually really like that you can see at a glance what time the alarm is set for.- Variety of alarm options: You can set it to be a buzzer, the radio, or birds chirping. I thought I'd use the radio but ended up loving the birds, which is not a common option.- Easy to change the time: You can set the hour and minute separately, and you can go forwards and backwards for each, so it's much quicker to get the time you want than alarm clocks that either don't have separate hour & minute options or where you can only go forwards on the hour & minute.- Nap timer: This is a nice extra feature so you don't have to reset your alarms just to have an alarm for a short nap.- Alarm pause: Another nice feature that lets you turn off the alarm while keeping it set for the next day.- Top buttons: There are a lot of thinner clocks out there that have the buttons on the back. I guess this makes for a sleeker aesthetic, but it's much handier to have the buttons more readily accessible on top of the clock, rather than having to fumble around behind the clock or turn the clock around every time you want to change something.- Continuous dimmer option for the front display: Goes from quite dark to plenty bright with the turn of a dial- Colored nightlight- Fairly big snooze button- USB charging port (on the back)Cons:- The nap timer is limited - you can only use the preset options of 10, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. I would love if you could set the minutes to anything manually.- The nightlight doesn't stay on the color you last selected, so if you want a later color (like green, blue, or purple), you have to press through the whole range of colors (starting from red and going through the rainbow) each time you turn on the nightlight to get there.- There's no white color option on the nightlight.- The snooze button could be more prominent or farther forward. It is large, which is good, but it's the same soft texture as the rest of the clock top, so there isn't a difference in feel, and there's a space of about the same width as the snooze button between the front of the clock and the actual snooze button, which I often find myself pressing to no avail. If the button were raised, a different texture, and/or farther forward, it would be easier to find & press.

Nice size alarm clock with lots of features for little money. You can change the light glow into 5 color changes with the push of a button. Alarm setting a little weird but once you get use to it then its second nature to use.
