Huge display
This alarm clock is great. Its not complicated to set or use, the buttons are easy to find, and the best part is that the display is huge so now if I wake up in the night I don't have to put on my glasses or blind myself with my phone to see what time it is!

Large display and swivels
This solid silver Sharp digital alarm clock has a nice feature of a swivel display. The digital display is nice and big and can been easily seen from across the room in the daytime. There is a dimmer feature on the back and I found that even on the dimmest setting, it was entirely too bright for my sleeping preference. I had this clock on the nightstand next to my bed and it was so bright and it also had a low frequency buzzing sound! I moved it to a table about 10 feet from my bed and couldn't hear the noise any longer but the brightness was still too much for me. The body is painted silver and not very well coated, making it look cheap. Since having to place it so far from my bed, it wasn't useful for an alarm clock (I'm a snoozer button person in the morning Ü), so I decided to put it in our guest room and use it in there instead. I did like that the controls for setting the time/alarm was very streamlined and simple to use. But, if you need total darkness when sleeping, this clock is not for you.

    Good large display
    I know we all have a cell phone that always displays a time. But if you are like me and have to wear glasses, that is something that you don't wear to bed. So having this large display is very nice for waking in the middle of the night. It is very helpful for me.

    Love the large numbers!
    I love the fact that the numbers are large and my nearly blind eyes can see the numbers easily even with my glasses off in the middle of the night. Plus the fact, that even though the clock comes with directions, it is so easy to operate that you don't even need to read the directions, like I didn't do and did just fine setting everything. It was so easy to get the clock out of its cardboard packaging, plugging it in and setting the time, that it only took about a minute. That's it! Easy Peezy! Learning to set the alarm takes just a little bit longer but still easy. You can adjust the brightness of the numbers, bright and dim, just two settings. Pictures included so you can try and see the difference in brightness. Honestly, not too much of a difference. It is bright enough to see the numbers easily but not overly bright where it lights up the room. While setting the time, the numbers only go in one direction, so if you pass the correct minute or hour then you keep moving forward until you get the correct time, no going backwards. Regarding the alarm, it does have a large snooze button at the top of the clock. There is also a low and high setting for the alarm volume. Again, not too much of a difference between low and high. In my opinion, if you are a very sound sleeper and tend to sleep through an alarm, then there's a good possibility you won't hear this alarm. I do have good hearing so I feel like I'm a good judge of the alarm volume. It is not one of those extremely loud and obnoxious sounding alarms. That may work for some people and not for others. At least it won't scare you out of your bed.

    Economical alarm clock
    It is a low cost clock, so it's not made as well as say my Sony clock, but it won't cost as much either. The buttons and materials feel like they could break easy. However it does have a nice big display that swivels (nice) and it keeps time and alarms, i.e. a low cost functioning clock. My daughter wants to take it from me because of the display size. It plugs in, but also has a battery backup which is a nice feature, but I haven't lost power to test that feature yet. One down-side is the buttons to operate and set the alarm on and off are on the back of the clock. Snooze button is on the top, but to actually turn it off you need to reach to the back of the clock. It has a dimmer switch for the display but I wanted the large and brighter display so it did not have to be right next to the bed. You have a choice of low or high volume for the alarm. Telling the time, having power backup, and large bright display that swivels makes this a good usable clock, but it is cheaper so the materials may not last as long as a more expensive clock. It's a value saving choice and great for someone needing a larger, brighter display. This one has the red display.

    I like the big display, but has wiring issues
    I like being able to see a digital display from across the room, but the unit I received has wiring issues. You have to press and hold the dim light in order to get the high contrast to work. Otherwise, the low level looks exactly the same as the high level. It won't stay bright unless you hold it, which kind of isn't convenient at all. And whatever is coating this is already peeling off (see pic with arrow pointing to a dime-sized bubble). So, quality-wise, this is closer to a Dollar Store type of alarm clock than a $20 alarm clock. I can't recommend this. Sorry. You might get lucky and get a better functioning one, though.

    So easy to use and work great!
    This clock is so easy to set the time and alarm compared to others I have used. The numbers are big and tou can choose to dim the brightness if you want. You can use a battery if you want to and it swivels. Also you can choose if you want to alarm to be low or loud.

    Bright and Loud
    I got this clock. The otherI got the Sharp digital alarm clock and I am very impressed with the product. I really like the Jumbo display that allows for darkening or brightening. The alarm is adjustable volume which is a plus. It also allows the user to swivel the alarm 90 degrees. In the situation thoughts out it offers a backup battery alarm. I would highly recommend.

    Super pleased
    I can now see the time from any part of the room! I am using my clock in the living room. I have a battery operated mantel clock, but it runs on a battery and the face is difficult to see from across the room. The set up is easy peasy. Included is direction pamphlet that covers every function of the clock. PM on the clock is displayed by a red dot to the upper left of the time. It's all in the directions. You will need to purchase a backup battery which is not included. That's next on my list of things to do.

    Sharp LED Digital, Swivel Base Alarm Clock
    I didn't realize just how much I missed having a good ole alarm clock until I received this. When my other one finally gave out I just never replaced it, because even though I no longer work, I would have early Doctor appointments so I would just rely on my phone's alarm to wake me. Though it's not always reliable since I may not always hear it going off. Besides I've always been the type to want a backup plan and this alarm clock is just thing. It's the perfect size. Small so it doesn't take up a lot of room on my night stand and since it's compact, makes it easy to pack for when you travel yet don't let the size fool you. The alarm is loud and powerful. The numbers are large therefore making it easy to read, especially at night, but not so where it interferes with your ability to sleep. So far it seems to keep accurate time and the alarm goes off without fail. The quality of the clock is well made and sturdy. I love the swivel base thus enabling you to move it to the left, the right or dead center without moving the entire clock itself. I highly recommend. It's definitely worth it.

    Really Good Alarm Clock
    It's a really simple and an easy to use alarm clock, my kids love it. My children have a tendency to get up at 5am on a WEEKEND morning and think that it's time to play XBOX and watch YouTube - completely unaware of the early time and their body's need for rest. All I want is to sleep in on the weekend to 8-9am..but, no! Every weekday I have to drag them out of bed but on the weekends they get up extremely early with loud noises and arguing. Sometimes I set the alarm in their room at 4am on the weekdays as revenge. Anyway, this clock is great because it is super bright (great for scared and whimpy kids at night), it has an easy to use alarm, and tells the time nice and large like billboard in their bedroom. The only con is that once you unplug it, you have to reset it. My boys unplug EVERYTHING so they can charge their phones, tablets, etc. and the clock is the first victim. It's nothing fancy, just a nice and simple alarm clock!

    Very easy to set up, rotates screen, very bright
    I got this Sharp 1.8 Red LED Dimmer Alarm Clock for my 14 year old son. He needed his own alarm clock and this one is great for him. I even had him set it up himself and he has never done that before but he is pretty good with technology. The alarm clock comes with directions but is pretty simple to set up holding down the buttons in the back. You can use a just a clock and an alarm clock. There is a slide up button in the middle back to turn the alarm on. There is a button to adjust the alarm sound to hi or low as well as the clock viewing dimmeer from hi to low. Very basic and simple but good for someone who just needs the basic. He had no problems setting it up and adjusted it as he wanted. I double checked and he did good. The head/face of the clock can swivel to adjust where you want it to face. It doesn't go all the way around and there is a snapping sound when you move it but that is probably just it being moved for one notch to another. It doesn't swivel freely, you have to push it one way or the other. But this is great for like sitting on a desk or table and then turning it to face you. Or if you are lile me, turning it to face away so you don't see the light laying in bed as bright. Definitely recommend for a clock for a child or even adults. Very good clock that is simple yet big enough to read and functional. It even has a battery compartment for if you want to use it somewhere where you may not have electricity. It comes with a cord attached and that is how we are using it now. I did get to try this for free through the Spark review program but the opinions here are my own experience.

    Sharp 1.8 Red LED Alarm Clock - LOVE IT
    I received this item for the purpose of review. I had read previous reviews about this clock stating that it funs fast. I have had the clock plugged in now for about a week in the same spot and it's keeping perfect time. I am using it as a desktop clock in my basement craft area. PERFECT spot because the numbers are so large and bright. I've attached photos 1) location for sizing 2) in the dark Easy to set the time. Clock is not obtrusive and doesn't take up a lot of space. It looks clean and modern. The alarm works but because of its location, I do not typically use it. I only tested it. I really like it. Does the job and I can easily see it from clear across the whole room (which is about 15 x 20. Take a change. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Walmart!

    Great alarm clock
    I recently received the Sharp 1.8 Red LED Dimmer Alarm Clock to review as part of the Walmart Sparkreviewer program. I used an alarm clock for most of my life until I got a smart phone and then I started using it as my alarm particularly because I could adjust the sound level of the alarm and the phone didn't glow in my face all night long. The only downside to using my phone as an alarm is that if I wake up and want to know the time I have to reach over to get my phone and press a button to see it. When I saw the Sharp led dimmer alarm clock I thought I'd give it a try. There are several great features to this alarm clock. First of all, it's attractive looking, just the right size and lightweight. The numbers on the clock glow red at night and are big. Each number is approximately 1.8 inches tall, so they are easy to see, which is great for someone like me who has trouble seeing without glasses. There is a button which allows you to dim the glow of the numbers if they are too bright for you to sleep. It also has a swivel base, so you can turn it in any direction. This would be helpful if the glow from the display bothers you even after dimming. The clock was super easy to program. There is a little tab on the back of the clock that you push up to set the alarm and then push down when you wish to turn the alarm off. The snooze feature allows you to push a button on the top, which then gives you 9 minutes before it goes off again. If you're like me this button will get a lot of use, lol. The clock is corded but you can put in a 9 volt battery for back up. The only thing that could have made this alarm clock better was if the manufacturer gave it one more sound setting lower. I tend to set the sound level on my phone alarm pretty low and even on the low sound setting, I was somewhat startled awake by this alarm this morning. I doubt that this will be a problem and that I will get used to it. The other great features of this alarm clock outweigh this minor issue. I would recommend this product to others.

    For school
    This alarm works as it should. It is not hard to set up and the size it is good. I like that it is not too bright but my daughter does say it keeps her awake longer. I am using this for my daughter to use so that she can get up for school on her own. She is beginning middle school this year and I thought this would be a good idea. So far it works well, we have not used it often but the couple times we have it it did what it was supposed to. I am not a fan of the swivel base which seems pointless to me since it is small enough you can just turn it where you need it. I do like that the numbers are large enough to see across the room. Overall, it is okay nothing too special just simple and to the point which is what we wanted.

    Sharp Covers It All!
    This is a LED, dimmer, large numeral, digital alarm clock from Sharp, a reliable brand that has been around for a long time. It has everything covered, but done in a simpler form. Very easy to set up, settings located on the back of the clock. Love that it is easy to set, easy to read with no extra features you don't need. Favorite features are: two brightness features for day and night, optional battery backup, swiveling sleek design, bright display, easy to read in the dark, two alarm settings of low and high, makes a great nightlight if needed. I would recommend this Sharp clock highly. Great Value for the price. Thank you for the privilege of reviewing this fine product.

    Has Loud Alarm
    The LED alarm clock is straight to the point. I was hoping a radio was included but no, however it look nice. I love how big the LED screen is. I can see this alarm clock without my glasses when I get up in the morning. Also it's small and doesn't take up much space. I notice it's not only runs off by electricity but batteries also which is great for when I travel. Even though people set their alarms on their phones having an alarm clock definitely comes in handy.

    Fantastic alarm.
    I needed an inexpensive clock for the bedroom. I use the alarm perhaps a half dozen times per year but it is nice to have. Arrived fast, simple to set up, great dimmer feature, easy to see huge numbers, added bonus of battery backup. Want a laugh? I put in a new battery and unplugged it to learn the time didn't hold! I took out my battery tester to learn the new battery was dead. Put in another battery, unplugged it, plugged back in and time plus alarm work percectly! Five stars all the way!
