Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Why risk missing a flight or the departure of a tour by depending on a hotel alarm clock or a wake-up call from the front desk? Take control of time while on the road with this lightweight travel alarm clock. From Elgin, the compact clock benefits from a protective black cover which folds back to serve as the clock’s stand for tabletop display. The clock conveys the time on a 7/10-inch LCD screen, equipped with both alarm and AM/PM indicators. For time illumination in the dark, a blue backlight is activated by pressing the big button on the clock’s front. This button doubles as the snooze button, silencing the alarm for a little extra shuteye. Below the screen, a switch allows the users to choose the appropriate clock display, selecting between time set, alarm set, alarm on, and alarm off. The user employs the provided hour and minute buttons to toggle to the desired times. To power the clock, the separate purchase of one AAA battery is required. A one-year limited warranty covers this item. Standing upright, the travel alarm clock measures 4 inches wide by 5 inches deep by 5 inches high and weighs 6.1 ounces.
Make sure your on time while on the road with this Indiglo travel alarm clock

Customer Reviews

I used an Indiglo travel alarm as my main alarm for over ten years. Eventually, it stopped working. I have been on a quest to replace it ever since--about six years now. The main thing I've learned by trying so many other alarms is--it's hard to find a good, basic, no-frills, reliable alarm clock.
Some alarms lose time. Some snooze for 10 or 15 minutes, which defeats the awakening process. Some are loud and/or obnoxious while others are barely audible. One couldn't keep time, AND after it fell off my nightstand--for the first time--the numbers became unreadable. A LOT are not Indiglo, and the backlights are so bright they could double as airstrip lighting; I've had to make them covers to dull the light so I could go to sleep.
I finally gave up finding a suitable replacement at local stores, and started alarm clock shopping online. After comparing features, reading reviews, and checking carefully for 1) battery powered operation 2) no constant backlight and 3) regular old-fashioned only lights up when you push the button (Indiglo), I chose this Elgin travel alarm.
I've used it as my only alarm for several weeks now. It works better than the (many) others I've tried.
Pros
1) no cords (especially good, since it is sold as a travel alarm)
2) audible, obviously an alarm, but the sound isn't TOO grating
3) lightweight
4) the stand covers the button, so if you were traveling instead of using it as a regular alarm (like me) it wouldn't end up draining the batteries by being pressed down the whole time
5) it appears to keep time appropriately (so far, anyway)
6) the numbers are large enough to read without my glasses
7) red locator light is handy
8) low price
Cons
1) it only has a 4 minute "snooze" between alarms
2) required batteries (2 AAA) do not come with it
3) the stand seems flimsy and sticks out pretty far in the back
4) the buttons don't slide smoothly, but they aren't too bad
5) the Indiglo is slightly too bright--it does take a second or two to be able to see the numbers after hitting the snooze button
6) did I mention the 4 minute snooze?
I've dropped it off my nightstand a couple of times. I'm not a morning person, and the four minutes pass quickly--I tend to reach out without looking the first couple of times, and have misjudged its location and pushed it off the stand. So far, it remains intact (the stand hasn't even broken off or cracked yet).
Overall, it's the best replacement I've found during my years of searching. The four minute snooze is REALLY annoying though; the old Indiglo had a 8 (or 7, I don't remember for sure at this point, so many alarms later) minute snooze interval and that was just about perfect. While not a "perfect replacement," it is obvious they don't make what I'm looking for anymore. I will give up the search and use this Elgin. It is adequate, and certainly does its job. It's hard to sleep when the alarm goes off every time you get comfortable from snoozing it the last time. The alarm tone is loud enough to wake you, but not loud enough to make you cling to the ceiling with surprise. The red light helps locate it when it's ringing (although I have to wait a second for the blue light to go down after pushing snooze before I can look at the time).
If it had twice the snooze length (8 minutes), I would give it five stars, since the other flaws are so minor. I might even settle for a six minute snooze. Since it's only four minutes, though, that and all the minor flaws add up to only four stars.

Nice, uncomplicated, functional travel alarm clock. First of all, the package was EASY to open -- doesn't require a hacksaw and axe, like most packages do these days. Secondly, the instructions were written in CLEAR ENGLISH -- not weird unintelligible international symbols and directions in ten different languages with the English being butchered beyond comprehension. And thirdly, the clock is simple to set up and operate. Very user-friendly. Does what it says it's going to do. Alarm starts off softly then gets more frantic as seconds tick by and you haven't turned it off -- perfect for my waking-up habits. It's the right size -- very compact -- has a nice big display, big snooze button -- all in all, about as perfect as a product can be. My compliments to Elgin.
