Pyramid Talking Alarm Clock

I love the product. One of my neighbors have this product and she is legally blind. Therefore, I guess I coveted this product so I HAD to buy one for myself...... I'm also visually Impaired...... My neighbor and I were BOTH born with cerebral palsy....... However, we BOTH are highly functional individuals... MY MINISTRY IS WITH THE DISABLED INDIVIDUALS.......

I do not recall how I stumbled upon this product but I had to have one as it brought back pleasant childhood memories. I had one growing up that was quite similar. This one is a little different in that it has three alarm choices (standard alarm beep, an odd "hoo-ha" sound, and the classic rooster crow that was on the one I had years ago). Aside from that, it has a simple button on top you press to hear the time ("it's 4:15 PM" is the format it announces the time in). To snooze the alarm, simply press the button, to shut off alarm completely, you have to pick it up and press the HR button on the bottom. I appreciate this as it makes me have to get moving to shut it off which encourages me go get out of bed instead of simply slapping the snooze button.

A friend gave me one of these over ten years ago that they'd had for many years before that. It recently quit working. I was amazed to see them available on Amazon.This looked like the old "Talking Alarm Clock" with a new logo (Tel-Time). Oddly it came in a box that clearly pictures the old "Talking Alarm Clock" logo.Anyway....I didn't trust the other reviews and should have.The sound quality is terrible compared to my old one. I don't know what they did to the speaker, but even at the loudest setting it is a a very muffled and distorted sounding device.With all the tech advancements in the last 30 years since this was originally made, I COMPLETELY expected a much better product than this. As they say, "Buyer beware."

I bought it because i wanted one that crows like a rooster for the alarm. It did for a little while. Now it just buzzes! It's also complicated to set the time and alarm time. Poor purchase choice.

My Mother loves this talking clock because she can't see, she loves knowing what time it is without being able to see!

Ok

A perfect timer especially in the middle of the night when I have to get up and do not want to put any light on so I can get right back to sleep.

I am hard of hearing and this is the only alarm clock I can actually hear go off when I am in a deep sleep. Love it!
