This clock requires an electrical outlet for normal operation. The battery is intended only for brief power outages.
It is significantly more bulky than I anticipated: 4.5 inches high, 4 inches wide, 2.5 inches thick.
Shell is grey ("silver") plastic. Made in China for Michigan-based Geneva Clock Co.
If you are looking for a compact or travel alarm clock, this will not be your first choice.

The numbers on this clock are brightly backlit with eerie blue light but the face and hands are NOT lit at all. That makes it very hard to read the time at night.

Of minor importance, the Elgin clock received was smaller than specified, about 4 1/8 inches by 4 13/16 inches, not 5.8 x 6.2. But it looked exactly like the picture. Maybe better.

Nice looking clock, but there is no snooze button. The battery backup works very well - good if the power goes out.

The only real problem I have with it is that the blue backlight is so bright at night that I have to cover the clock with a cloth, so I can sleep. I have moved it to the livingroom.

I want a simple electric analog clock that stops when the power goes out. There was no indication in the promo that this is a battery back-up. In fact, it won't operate without a battery. It's not what I want at all. Of course, once I opened it and tried it, there was no returning the item. $9 wasted on the clock and $8 wasted on UPS.

This clock is advertised as an electric clock, with "Battery Backup". The electrical cord only powers the face illumination. There is no backup. The clock runs on the battery only. When I received this clock the illuminated face worked for less than 1 minute before it failed. It is advertised as "Guaranteed for 5 years", but there is no information about who, or where the company is located. This product has no value.
