5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Clock, June 25, 2007

This review is from: Maverick R-495 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Stereo Radio with Alarm and Projection Clock (Electronics)

Projection, clock and radio with color clock changing temperatures all rolled into one. For some reason my daughter really likes it and that is all that counts. She is amused on how the clock changes color with the temperature and projects the time on the ceiling. It is also has atomic adjusted time and a pressure trend with a weather forcast. This is almost like a toy for a child, but adults may not like the flimsy design or the sound. Will have to see how this clock holds up over time.

This review is from: Maverick R-495 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Stereo Radio with Alarm and Projection Clock (Electronics)

Victories:Time/date, updated daily/In-Out Temp(neat!)/clock alarm/Projects the time on ceiling.(My goal in purchase.)

Disappointments:That's good(time on ceiling)BECAUSE the color/temp. face display hasn't displayed after three weeks. The radio/speakers are weak in quality/reception. The snooze alarm is only a beep not the radio.

This review is from: Maverick R-495 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Stereo Radio with Alarm and Projection Clock (Electronics)

I was disappointed, having my expectations set by reading their description of the product (and not reviews). The projection time does not rotate very well, does NOT cover the 180 degeress advertised. I have a difficult time capturing radio stations (much worse than my previous 10 year old clock radio)with the remote kept in my car (must stay dry). Time sync is good, mp3 play works well. Alarm is ony 7 day, and not so easy to turn/off, so I get the alarm 7 days a week. A 5 day a week alarm such as is in my phone would be very nice.
If it did what it says it does it would be nice, but their sales department seems to be out of sync with their engineering/production departments.
