Sweeper Analogue Alarm Clock Non Ticking Sweep Smartlite® Quartz Silver

I wanted a new alarm clock as I am a bit deaf and my old clock wasn't waking me up, my husband would kick me to turn it off! This one is perfect , it gradually gets louder but I can usually hear it as soon as it goes off but it's not one of those that gives you a heart attack because it is so loud. It doesn't tick, so if you don't like any sound in the room then it's great. It has a clever face that lights up as it gets dark and goes off as it gets light, you can turn that off if you don't want a glowing clock. You can press the top of the clock to light up the face to see the time in the dark. It's quite a large clock - about 4" high, has very clear, easy to read numbers - great for anyone a bit short sighted. It feels well made and it very easy to set the time and alarm using a button to turn on the back of the clock - much better than my previous digital clock that needed a book to explain how to set it up! Would definitely recommend this clock.

Bought this December 2015. I wanted a clock which I could read at night. We have a digital clock on my wife's side of the bed which I can see, but it means sitting up. Who wants to do that when they're snug in bed? My problem was I've no bedside table or handy socket on my side. The clock has to go on a chest of drawers almost a metre away. With no power point battery power seemed the ideal. The clock has a number of poor reviews, but with an overall 4star rating I thought I'd try it, and over 12 months later I'm glad I did. It was easily set up. Once the battery was in it was up and running. It lights up very clearly at night, and the light is controlled by a sensor so during the day it switches off. Having this lighting facility made me dubious as to how long it would be before I needed to replace the 3 AA cells it uses. I needn't have worried. They have just died after just over 12 months continuous use. That's still relatively expensive I suppose, as I'd expect an ordinary clock to run for that time on a single cell. I still think it's worth it though for the convenience. It would be easy to switch the lighting facility off in the morning and on again at bedtime, so the light does not come on in the evening. This would probably lead to a reasonable saving, but I wonder if it's worth the effort. The only problem for me is that I'm shortsighted, and to give me any chance of reading it I have to have it as close as possible to me on the chest of drawers, but I can hardly blame the clock for my deficient eye sight. One way the design could be improved for myopic folk like me would be to make the hands solid, rather than cut out. So for me this clock is almost perfect. From the negative reviews it would seem there may be some problems with quality control, but fortunately I seem to have got a good one, and from the overall 4 star rating most are good, so it's worth a chance if you're looking for a clock like this.

I bought this clock after an unfortunate coffee incident with my old clock. Anyway the main factors I wanted in my new clock was silence and a dim back light as I prefer to have it on all the time so I can see the time through squinted eyes during the night without having to press a button to illuminate. Surprisingly enough this was actually a lot harder a task than first expected! After considering the reviews on this one I went ahead and it was delivered in good time. Upon setting the clock I was relieved and pleased to notice it was indeed silent, no annoying ticking noises. The numbers are quite big and clear and the alarm is easy enough to set etc. So far so good. The big test however was how bright the backlight was which unfortunately is the reason why I cannot give this clock 5 stars. Although it is supposed to only give a dim green backlight, I find this way too bright for me. If the light illuminates everything on my bedside table and manages to penetrate through my eyelids, it's too light in my opinion! lol Overall I like the clock but have had to revert to pressing the top button during the night if I want to see the time. Good clock if you don't mind a bit of light in your room.

Good large dial to see numbers. No ticking noise. Good high alarm volume.

What's the use of an alarm clock where the alarm goes off at random times but not at the set time? I bought the Acctim Sweeper Analogue Alarm Clock as a Christmas present to my fiancé. After 2 months she's had to stop using it as the alarm is so inaccurate and unreliable. I contacted Acctim through the Amazon UK website and they've not bothered to reply. The clock in my opinion is unmarketable and the supplier is unresponsive - a case of 'we've got your money so don't bother us?' The irony is she choose this clock as a replacement for an old Acctim Sweeper Analogue Alarm Clock she'd had for several years that had given good service. The new one being so unreliable has therefore been a huge disappointment but doing business with a company that doesn't even have the courtesy to respond is beyond the pale. If after reading this review you still go ahead and purchase one good luck. I'm sure if yours proves reliable you'll be satisfied but if you have a problem don't waste your time trying to get the supplier to remedy your problem, they can't be bothered.

This is my honest & true review I purchased this clock on 19/09/24 even though there was negative reviews regarding the battery life, well let me just say I have just changed the 3 AA battery's in my clock today for the first time, so that's over 14 months which is brilliant battery life. I only use Aldi Alkaline AA battery's. The clock itself is sturdy & robust & clear to see the tine when it's dark. I would say it's the best alarm clock I have owned. If your looking for a new alarm ⏰️ clock, then I highly recommend this one as tried & tested for over 14 months.

Îch kaufte den Wecker, der folgende Kriteren erfüllen sollte: - kein Funkwecker - lautlos - mit Batterie betrieben - Snooze-Funktion - einfache Handhabung Er erfüllte die Punkte. Ich war begeistert. Die Nachtbeleuchtung kam mir mit der Zeit sehr hell vor, so schaltete ich sie ab. Solange man die obere Taste drückt ist das Zifferblatt beleuchtet. Die Zeit kann man auch schlaftrunken sofort klar ablesen. Nach 2 Monaten geht der Wecker noch auf die Minute genau. Der Wecker ist ziemlich tief und damit kein zierlicher Wecker, was mich nicht stört. Nun die Schwächen. Nach dem 10. Gebrauch wurde ich in der Frühe nicht geweckt, obwohl ich den Wecker "scharf" geschalten hatte. Ich fand heraus, dass der Schalter nach oben gedrückt werden muss, dann den Schalter loslassen und nochmals nach oben drücken. OK, so funktionierte er wieder tadellos. Dann nach 2 Monaten, ich packte ihn im Hotel in die Reisetasche. Abends im anderem Hotel ausgepackt und auf den Nachttisch getellt. War war das? Der Wecker ist seitdem nicht mehr lautlos. Ein zartes "dog" - etwa 3 - 4 mal pro Sekunde ist seitdem zu hören. Der Wecker muss schon gut einen Meter entfernt sein, um ihn nicht mehr zu hören. Er muss weiter auf die Reisen und seine Dienste verrichten, aber schade, dass er so schnell verschleißt. Nachtrag vom 23.06.2016: Wenn man etwas Weiches (z. B. ein oder zwei neue Papiertaschentücher) unter den Wecker legt, dann ist er deutlich leiser.

Nice looking and simple to operate clock. So far it is keeping accurate time.

lo he comprado para mi madre. Le encanta. Las agujas son lumisniscentes, así se ven en la oscuridad. El tono de la alarma son cuatro pips intermitentes que se van repitiendo. El sonido no es ascendente, así que desde el principio es bastante alto,pero a mi madre le parece bien así. Al apagar por la parte superior se enciende una luz interna y suena al cabo de un rato. Si lo quieres apagar del todo es por una pestañita lateral. Lo recomiendo. Es bonito. Viene sin pilas.

Je suis très satisfaite avec mon achat. Envoi soigné. Livraison rapide.

Dieser Wecker ist sehr leise, das war mir besonders wichtig. Er ist auch nachts ohne Brille gut lesbar und der "Lichtschalter" ist oben. Das waren die Kaufoptionen. Der Artikel ist also zu empfehlen. Zusätzliche Pluspunkte sind das formschöne Aussehen und die Standfestigkeit.
