Awful Travel Clock, September 13, 2005
Avoid this travel clock. The clasp is so tight I had to struggle to open it. The night light beeps every time you activate it; can't be turned off. Just what I need when I wake up during the night and I want to see what time it is.
Chucked it in the waste basket. Look elsewhere.

What alarm?!, May 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Oregon Scientific AS316NE-S Nightfinder Travel Alarm Clock, Silver (Kitchen)
When I received this product in the mail, I was excited to have an easy to use travel alarm clock. However, when I tested the alarm, it wasn't any noisier than a pin dropping! Not too happy. I am returning the clock and hoping it was just a defect!

Can't recommend: could be so much better, May 17, 2004
This review is from: Oregon Scientific AS316NE-S Nightfinder Travel Alarm Clock, Silver (Kitchen)
The hinged cover has a lot of trouble staying open, it seems to be weighted wrong such that it tips over very easily (especially when snoozing the alarm!). This is probably the worst feature.
I find the nightfinder feature useless. Perhaps other find it useful, but there's usually enough ambient light to at least find the alarm clock, should I need to know what time it is at 4am (a quick push back on the clock turns on the backlighting).
It could be louder -- it usually wakes me up, but not reliably. It doesn't get louder at the end of its alarm sequence, just the beeps get more continuous.
I also find it very easy to leave the clock in either the Alarm Set or Time Set (the toggle switch doesn't give you a good sense when it's in the middle), which means the alarm will never go off.
Good things: it's light. Conservative with battery (assuming you don't accidentally turn on the nightfinder). Time is very visible and the backlighting is pleasant.
