Mesqool Projection Alarm Clock with FM Radio,Large Number Display & Dimmer,USB Charger,Sleep Timer,Battery Backup,Dual Alarms,Clock Radio for Bedroom Heavy Sleepers

Worked great. Very easy to operate and very big numbers. My only problem is I like to listen to the radio at night while trying to go to sleep but even the lowest volume is to loud

I owned what has to be the best projection clock ever made. A Timex T736. It projected the time in large and crystal clear numbers on a high ceiling. I was in projection clock heaven. Well after almost a dozen years,.....Alarm 1 stopped working. (Dual alarm clock) Alarm 2 still works. And of course,...Timex decided to stop producing this clock. So I have now purchased several supposedly top of the line or popular projection clocks trying to find a suitable replacement. Thus far,....NOTHING even came close.When I got this clock,...I set the time and the alarm,...then turned on the projection and again said,.....what a waste of money. This clock has to have one of the weakest projectors of all the clocks I purchased. I thought well, this thing will be heading for a spare closet,....or possibly returned to Amazon.Now I am an almost 60 year old man and my eyes are not what they used to be. I now as most people my age wear glasses. And when I take my glasses off,.....the whole world goes blurry.And I learned a long time ago to put my alarm clock out of my reach. This way I have to get up to turn the alarm off. So this clock, with a very weak projector is sitting across my bedroom about 14 foot away. That is when I noticed something special about this clock. It does have the largest and brightest numbers I have ever seen on an alarm clock. As stated earlier,...I have purchased many clocks. Many which advertised they have large numbers,.....but nothing like this. The fact is,....I can easily read the clock from across the room "WITHOUT MY GLASSES ON!" Even in the middle of the night with my sleepy eyes.So to put this review in perspective,......if you want a projection clock just because you want a great projection clock,........look elsewhere. If you want a projection clock as I did because you have a hard time reading the clock at night without your glasses,.......this is your clock. Big, bright display eliminates the need for projection. Now we will just have to wait and see about reliability.

I like this clock for its simplicity -- from the look of the case to setting the time to handling DST (Daylight Savings Time), this clock is well designed. The projector is way cool. It's like having an invisible secret clock built into the ceiling that can't be seen during the day. The biggest problem with digital clocks is DST. Congress has changed the dates that DST takes effect. Clocks bake the date into the internals. I have several clocks that are one hour wrong for a few weeks twice a year. This clock's solution is genius. When DST changes, press and hold the DST button for 3 seconds. Presto! the time is perfect. It even has a DST light so you know which mode the clock is in. Most of the other digital clocks I have owned have a dimmer for the display, but they don't dim the display nearly as much as I would like. This clock has 3 brightness settings. The third setting is perfect. I also like the AAA battery backup. I don't know why some clocks use expensive and hard to find button cells. I always have a couple of AAAs around. Some reviewers have stated that it's hard to set the time. Setting time is actually easy. The problem is the lousy instruction sheet. Here's how to set the time:Start by setting DST. Check the DST light on the display. If it isn't correct, press and hold the DST button for 3 seconds. If the display brightness changes, you didn't hold the button long enough. Try again.To set the time, many clocks require you to hold the "Time" button with one finger while pressing the "Hour" or "Minute" button with another finger. This clock is different, and that difference makes setting the time much easier. Press and release the "Time" button. The clock will go into the time set mode, which is indicated by a flashing display. While the display is flashing, press the hour or minute button until the time is set. When you are done, leave the clock alone and don't press any buttons for 5 seconds. The clock will exit the time set mode and the display will stop flashing. That's it. You're done. And you only need one finger. Setting the alarm or the radio station works the same way.The manufacturer says the clock can store 10 AM and 10 FM radio stations. I don't know about that. I set one AM and one FM station. It's easy to turn the radio on to either station. That's enough for me. After all, it's a clock, not a boom box.

Easy to set up and use, very functional, inexpensive - I am pleased with this purchase.

A projection clock is a must for me. I often wake up during the night and don't know if it is time to get up and get ready for the day, or if it is 1:00 a.m. I can't just glance over at a standard nightstand clock because I couldn't see it without putting on my glasses.This projection clock is GREAT! It replaced an older one I bought many years ago from Costco. There are several things which distinguish this unit for me: (1) It is very easy to set and change. My previous unit required me to pull out the instruction book every time DST came and went. (2) It is quite bright and the numbers are very large. My whole point is that I need glasses to see and I don't want to put them on in the middle night to see the time. The numbers are large enough that they are very clear even to my very poor eyes. And it is bright enough then during the dawn hours when light is coming into my bedroom, I can still see the numbers clearly. (I would add that the red color is such that it isn't too bright as to be a negative barrier to sleep). (3) The clock itself has nice, large, clear numbers, so if I walk to the bathroom and glance at the clock on my way back to bed, it is very easy to read even without my glasses. (4) I really LOVE the USB port. I was going to have to get a USB extension cord so I could put my Apple Watch on the nightstand while I charged it over night. But instead, I just plug it into the back USB port on this clock and it charges perfectly.I have not used the alarm clock or radio functions and don't intend to, so I can't comment on those.
