3.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept, poor implementation, October 30, 2007

I really wanted to like this chime clock. I don't like waking up to blaring sirens or radios. This offered a quiet progression of real chimes to wake me up.

First, the chimes are relatively quiet, so while they wake me up, they don't wake up my boyfriend. You could consider this a good or bad thing :) If he had bought it for him, he'd be pretty annoyed. As it is, it works out well.

The chimes aren't "gentle" though. They are sort of harsh sounding. I'd much rather have wood-on-metal - with the current setup there is a sharp tone to them.

The clock is able to run on batteries of power - but they don't supply a power unit so unless you find one that matches, you are stuck with batteries. With batteries, the clock only lights up (so you can see the numbers) if you press a button. The unit is so light that you really have to grab it to push that button in - which makes it start chiming. It's really a pain to look over, not know what time it is and have to grab it and make noise to find out.

A similar problem happens when you want to shut off the chime. The button for snooze is equally as hard to press in. To actually turn it off, you have to slide a lever - however, the far left position is "ON" (as in always chiming). So it's very easy when trying to slide it from alarm to OFF in a leftward direction (while sleepy) to set the darn things on permanent chime.

There are several other units for slightly more money that don't have these issues, so I suggest you look at those in comparison.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth $1.00!!!, May 14, 2008

I thought this was going to be so cute to have on my desk in my office, but it never kept time. It lost over an hour a day (several minutes an hour) and I had to keep resetting. Changed brand new batteries three times and it would just time any time the wrong time would display. I plugged two power cords in and it didn't keep the time, but I was too busy to take the time to return it, so I am out the money. I took the batteries out and threw it in a drawer. I'll probably take the fishing line out from the hanging chimes and make my own windchime to put on my patio. Extremely cheap quality plastic. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money...CLANK CLANK CLANK, April 27, 2008

I was immediately unhappy with this purchase- the chimes CLANK against the plastic console each time the wheel that moves them goes around making a thunk thunk thunk noise while it chimes. Perhaps I have a faulty one, but I am in the process of trying to return it for a refund. Have not used it- put it right back in the box... The chimes are not at all gentle nor melodic.... sounds more like somebody strumming across metal bars with a wand and then of course they hit the plastic of the console adding a CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK. Save your money- buy a more expensive model that does what it is supposed to. Hopefully I can return this if not I will give it as a present to my 6 yr old nephew. UPDATE: the vendor never responded to my request for a refund. All in all this was a BAD purchase. :(
