Why is it a good deal? 💰
Being wide awake for a productive day is priceless, and while we’ve seen this clock go on sale a few times, we don’t expect the price to drop any lower than it does now. And not to be a bearer of bad news, we’ll fall back next week and you might want to prepare yourself with a reliable system to wake you up at the right time.
Why do I need this? 🧐
When artists host large events, the artists provide the venue with a list of the things they need to perform, shall we say, at their best. McEntire told it New York magazine that this little alarm clock is on that list.
“It’s easy to turn on, adjust and set the time, whether you want military time or standard time,” she said. “My cousins or my neighbor’s kids have come over to set other clocks for me because they’re just too high-tech. I don’t like that. This one is very simple. It’s digital and has a nightlight, so when I When I walk into the bathroom at night, I know exactly what time it is.”
In addition to the night light and the digital display, the clock itself runs on batteries (read: useful in the event of a power outage) and even indicates what time your alarm is set. Another huge bonus: this baby tells you the temperature in the room.
What reviewers say 💬
16,000 Amazon shoppers also love this little alarm clock.
Positives?
“Have you ever bought a clock and have to take out the directions and your glasses to figure out how to use it? Heaven forbid the time changes,” one five-star fan asked. “Not [with] this little guy. The numbers are big, the buttons are simple, it’s easy to set the time and alarm and what I like most is that it doesn’t glow or beep. When you press the backlight button it’s subtle, you don’t wake up with bright light in your face.”
“This alarm clock has a simple, easy-to-use design,” said one satisfied shopper. “I like that there are backlight options so I can keep it dark at night. It’s a great alarm clock option if you’re trying to keep phones and other devices away from your bedside table. I find it surprising that It’s battery-powered — it keeps the bedside table clutter-free and provides location flexibility.”
“I got tired of using my phone like in the middle of the night,” wrote one rave reviewer. “I got this so I could just look at it in the middle of the night without having to search or press any buttons. It solved that problem. It has a soft night light. Very well made. Only a switch on the back feels strange but it works fine.”
Disadvantages?
Shoppers say a few tweaks can make it better.
“The only thing I wish is for it to do more than just the typical alarm sound, but I knew that when I read the description before I bought it,” one customer wrote.
“This is great for camping and shows the temperature which is great,” wrote another customer. “The only feature I would like is a way to adjust the volume of the alarm. It is a little louder than I would like.”

And if you’re prone to chills in spring, Reba’s favorite cardigan is also on sale.
Amazon
Sure, it’s insulated with eco-friendly padding, but the real stars of the show are the carbon fiber heating elements sandwiched into the wind- and water-resistant shell. These create four heating zones – left and right at the front, the upper back and the collar – that distribute heat evenly throughout the vest.

“I spent a year researching heated vests and finally chose this one based on the reviews,” said one satisfied shopper. “I love it! I have Raynaud’s disease and the warmth of the vest promotes my circulation. The battery lasts for hours and [the] vest is very comfortable.”
