Product Description

Just because your better half has to get up early, it doesn't mean you both do! This GE clock radio allows you to catch some extra ZZZZs with its dual alarm that features 2 separate wake times. That way you can roll on over until it's time to rise and shine. The Lighted Wake-Set Indicator lets you know when the alarm is ready to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Clock, February 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GE 74894 AM/FM Clock Radio with 0.9" Green LED, Dual wake, auto time set, (Electronics)

This is a neat little clock. It is "loaded" with lots of nice features not found on many other alarm clocks. Straight out of the box, you only have to set a switch to your time zone and the clock will automatically set the correct time as soon as you plug it in. It can even be set to adjust for daylight savings time automatically every spring and fall.

The design is rather small and attractive. My only gripe is that the rounded clear plastic housing on the front of the clock can exaggerate glare from lights and windows.

The buttons that would be used every day are large and easy to find, even when still half-asleep. The AM/FM radio sounds nice enough for what it is (a clock). You can set 2 different alarm times, there is a "nap" feature which you can set during your day to allow you to take a quick nap and yet have an alarm go off to wake you if you oversleep that is completely separate from the normal alarms. You can also set that 'nap' time from 10 minutes to 2 hours. And the Grad-U-Wake beeping tone of the alarm slowly grows louder, starting off at a level loud enough to wake light-sleepers and growing until it could wake your neighbors. Oh yeah, and there is a weekend mode so that your alarm goes off every morning during the week but disables itself on the weekends. It doesn't get any cooler than that!

GE has always made very good clocks and this one is the cream of the crop. (Circuit City is very good at shipping your item fast!)

This review is from: GE 74894 AM/FM Clock Radio with 0.9" Green LED, Dual wake, auto time set, (Electronics)

I bought this alarm clock, becuase my trusty 20 year old alarm clock finally kicked the bucket. I promptly unpacked the alarm clock, threw away all the packing materials and instructions, and forgot about plugging it in for a week. When I finally plugged it in, the clock set itself. I have no idea how this works, but, work it did. You just have to set the knob for whatever time zone you are in, and apparetnly faries do the rest. You can set two different wake up times, and it is easy to adjust the alarm timer either earlier or later. You can select being awakened by either the radio or a piercing beep. (Can't sleep through that one, no matter how I try) I have no complaints, the controls are intuitive and easy enough for me to figure out in the middle of the night. I would give it five stars, but I am morally opposed to giving an alarm clock too much praise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Alarm, August 13, 2003

It's hard to get excited about an alarm clock that has to wake you to go to work, but the GE 74894 is terrific. The numbers are large enough that I can see them at night without my glasses. The radio works very well. The dual alarm, time set, nap features are great. I love it that I can change the time for the snooze feature. All in all, a terrific buy. VERY highly recommended.
