Acctim SWEEPER SILVER ALARM clock

Îch kaufte den Wecker, der folgende Kriteren erfüllen sollte: - kein Funkwecker - lautlos - mit Batterie betrieben - Snooze-Funktion - einfache Handhabung Er erfüllte die Punkte. Ich war begeistert. Die Nachtbeleuchtung kam mir mit der Zeit sehr hell vor, so schaltete ich sie ab. Solange man die obere Taste drückt ist das Zifferblatt beleuchtet. Die Zeit kann man auch schlaftrunken sofort klar ablesen. Nach 2 Monaten geht der Wecker noch auf die Minute genau. Der Wecker ist ziemlich tief und damit kein zierlicher Wecker, was mich nicht stört. Nun die Schwächen. Nach dem 10. Gebrauch wurde ich in der Frühe nicht geweckt, obwohl ich den Wecker "scharf" geschalten hatte. Ich fand heraus, dass der Schalter nach oben gedrückt werden muss, dann den Schalter loslassen und nochmals nach oben drücken. OK, so funktionierte er wieder tadellos. Dann nach 2 Monaten, ich packte ihn im Hotel in die Reisetasche. Abends im anderem Hotel ausgepackt und auf den Nachttisch getellt. War war das? Der Wecker ist seitdem nicht mehr lautlos. Ein zartes "dog" - etwa 3 - 4 mal pro Sekunde ist seitdem zu hören. Der Wecker muss schon gut einen Meter entfernt sein, um ihn nicht mehr zu hören. Er muss weiter auf die Reisen und seine Dienste verrichten, aber schade, dass er so schnell verschleißt. Nachtrag vom 23.06.2016: Wenn man etwas Weiches (z. B. ein oder zwei neue Papiertaschentücher) unter den Wecker legt, dann ist er deutlich leiser.

What's the use of an alarm clock where the alarm goes off at random times but not at the set time? I bought the Acctim Sweeper Analogue Alarm Clock as a Christmas present to my fiancé. After 2 months she's had to stop using it as the alarm is so inaccurate and unreliable. I contacted Acctim through the Amazon UK website and they've not bothered to reply. The clock in my opinion is unmarketable and the supplier is unresponsive - a case of 'we've got your money so don't bother us?' The irony is she choose this clock as a replacement for an old Acctim Sweeper Analogue Alarm Clock she'd had for several years that had given good service. The new one being so unreliable has therefore been a huge disappointment but doing business with a company that doesn't even have the courtesy to respond is beyond the pale. If after reading this review you still go ahead and purchase one good luck. I'm sure if yours proves reliable you'll be satisfied but if you have a problem don't waste your time trying to get the supplier to remedy your problem, they can't be bothered.

This is my honest & true review I purchased this clock on 19/09/24 even though there was negative reviews regarding the battery life, well let me just say I have just changed the 3 AA battery's in my clock today for the first time, so that's over 14 months which is brilliant battery life. I only use Aldi Alkaline AA battery's. The clock itself is sturdy & robust & clear to see the tine when it's dark. I would say it's the best alarm clock I have owned. If your looking for a new alarm ⏰️ clock, then I highly recommend this one as tried & tested for over 14 months.

Having had a Nokia mobile phone that used to wake me up brilliantly, i then changed to a Blackberry mobile phone and had problems accidentally switching the alarm off on waking, so having overslept twice ironically i now needed to go out and get a proper alarm clock - this Sweeper Alarm Clock silver was the third different one i tried. It isn't bad and its much easier to set and double check than a digital alarm clock equivalent (where being half asleep on setting the alarm time i accidentally confused the wake up and actual times when setting the alarm) so i needed a really fail-safe and easy to use alarm clock and this does the job. A few points however to consider: 1) It is not silent - you can hear the second hand sweeping around - why on earth they have this second hand on there i have no idea - i'm hardly going to use the alarm clock to time myself doing anything (remove it! is my suggestion and then the sweeper noise will hopefully go too!) and 2) the green light** that emits from the whole of the clock face is actually quite bright (dull but bright if that makes any sense, a kind of radio active green light(lol))- so this light is ideal if you want to clearly be able to see the time but not ideal if you want your bedroom kept as dark as possible. Now to counteract both these problems i wear an eye mask to stop seeing the light and i have a white noise machine to conteract the sweeping hand noise (i should say i did have both of these in use before the new alarm clock arrived! lol) - **UPDATE: having just read someone else's review - you can actually turn this green backlight off and you'll just see it when you press the snooze/light button (or you can have it on full time) just found the sensor button for it right now! Phew!!! 3) One more thing is that it has a snooze facility of only 5 minutes - i would like a five and ten minute snooze option if it were possible. 4) The clock is also quite plasticy (not specifically classy) but is just a silver plastic looking alarm clock - not particularly a bad look..... but it just won't add any class/attractiveness to your bedroom Would i buy the clock again? well if i found another similar clock that was silent and wasn't brightly(but dully) lit then No, but if nothing else was available then Yes i would buy it again. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the clock as its harmless but if you are very audio or light sensitive then maybe try it out and return it if not suitable or shop around elsewhere. I hope this review helps. I think i read somewhere that the design/colour of this alarm clock may change slightly, periodically - so check in the description if it gives any indication of varying in its description.... I got mine around Dec 2010/Jan 2011.
