AcuRite Intelli-Time Alarm Clock with USB Charger, Indoor Temperature and Humidity (13040CA), 0.8, White

There is a 2 minute error in the time! An update for 2019 is here It was my first purchase of this clock. Since it really does LOOK beautiful and has all the features I'm looking for (large display, digital, time, date, temperature, USB charging port), I decided to give it another chance. The time cannot be told. It is always 2 minutes off (compared to an iPhone, MacBook Pro, etc. Even when I asked Google Assistant what time it was, it was still 2 minutes It is such a disappointment. A second time. It has been a shame to be so easily fooled twice.

I was very excited to receive the letter. There is something that I've been searching for - a white alarm clock with large numbers, a calendar, and the current temperature and I was stunned when I plugged it in to find the time had already set I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the date was correct without my having to touch It is magical! Despite its small size, the clock looks very impressive. While the display looks extremely good from straight ahead, it is extremely difficult to read from down because it is angled at an angle. Unless I turned the display over while lying on my bed, I wouldn't be able to see it. On the other hand, if I were sitting on the floor, I would not be able to see it from above. A clock would be useless if it were used for such a purpose. Due to the screen's inability to be viewed from different angles, the alarm clock is useless to me.

0 stars) Lots of great features, and one potential bug. My recommendation for the AcuRite 13040 Clock is that it has many good features and is worth looking into. I think it's almost perfect, but it's not quite there yet. And it's a lot better than the dozens of clocks I examined before I found it. The viewing angle is limited Despite its many benefits, the clock has one significant flaw In other words, if you're not looking down at the clock, the viewing angle is very limited. Since it uses LCD technology instead of LED technology (this is due to its use of LCD In this case, it was a right-to-left move It seems that viewing angles from the side are better than those from the front.
Now here are some of the many reasons I love I LOVE the way it looks There are readable letters on the clock, which makes it look great. I like how the colors are. It's not as harsh as where other clocks use LED lights. One to one is about the number The size is roughly 7-1/2 inches high readable from a height of about 6 inches The distance is only eight feet. A DIMENSION THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED, SUITABLE IN By using the up and down arrows, the brightness can be adjusted between six brightness levels. With the lowest level, you can fill the room with light without overdoing it. Whether the numbers are white or colored with a black background can also reduce the amount of In order to create this vital feature, Acurarite has put some serious effort into it. Few other clockmakers seem to offer any way to adjust the brightness Several people have used other clocks and complained that even on the lowest setting the light is too intense. In any case, the clock that was replaced by this AcuRite clock certainly proved that to be the case. Auto Dim

During the auto dim period from 9 pm to 7 am, the clock will dim to the lowest brightness level, then turn it back up at the end of the period. Unfortunately, the time and brightness levels cannot be adjusted, which is a bit disappointing, but we can live with those times and levels. wondered if this feature adjusted the brightness of the room- In this case, it does not change, the level and time are fixed. Use of this feature is not required Levels can be set easily, and it can be adjusted DESIGN MADE WITH THOUGHT In terms of the design, they clearly spent a fair amount of time on it or refined various features too. This software is easy to use. Here are some good instructions There is a well-designed installation guide included in the package You can download a booklet of instructions. Also, the English and French versions of the book are separate booklets, so you're able to keep the one you want. The following are the temperature and humidity data The ability to keep track of humidity and temperature is useful, and this clock makes it easy. Be aware that the measurements will be affected by height and location. If you set the thermostat on the wall at the height of the bedside table, the temperature would probably be lower than if the thermostat was on the bedside table. *BR>*BR>THE QUALITY IS GOOD In light of the high cost of this clock, its quality appears to be good. In contrast to so many products these days, it does not appear overly cheap. NOTES ON BATTERIES You can press the button to set the time Upon arrival, the clock has been set and the cell battery has been installed. need to adjust your on two AAA batteries, but it appears to require you to press the snooze button in order to see the time. When a battery is used, the display is turned off by default. We do not use it as an alarm clock, so I have not tested the alarm function.

(review updated I'm not too fond of it). It took me a ridiculous amount of time to review all the features of the clock I was searching for in my bedroom. This was the first time I had bought one in a long time, so I found some things Firstly, I need to charge my phone with a USB cable. While I don't bring a phone to bed every night, bringing it along when I expect an important call is how I use it, and of course these were the times it wasn't I personally liked the feature that allows you to connect your phone to the clock. Having a temperature readout on the clock is also nice, but the humidity indicator was the killer feature for me. It's important to me to be able to see the humidity level in the room and have a room humidifier for it to stay at a healthy level. They can be easily read because the numbers are large. It is only a downside that I can't read the numbers because the angle is an issue when I'm in bed unless I sit up or I tilt down the clock. In my experience, I haven't used the alarm function, so I cannot comment on it. * NOTE *UPDATE In August, after 8 months of sat on my headboard to charge my phone or sitting on it generally, a major glitch occurred. Using the same power cord, I plugged in the phone, and the clock blanked out and then came back on again, On December 30 and January 1, the new year will begin. I thought I'd just reset it, and it worked just fine. The SET button doesn't work, and we apologize for this inconvenience. There's no way to get it to set the time, and it doesn't set the alarm either. Only if the batteries are removed and the clock is unplugged, can it read an accurate time. Plugging it back in must wait until midnight for the clock to read a correct time. I think the date and perhaps the moon phase are wrong, but these aren't critical errors. EDIT #2 If I need to set an alarm, I hope I will have to get up at 7am, since that is the only option I have. In an online customer forum, I posted my problem, and the company responded, and we emailed back and forth about how to fix There's no problem with that. Thurs, Jan 1 at midnight is a fine time for the reset. My Amazon order was sent to them after an email exchange. They asked me to send a copy of my receipt after chatting with me for a bit. The fact that I had a receipt for it is definitely an added bonus, as if I had bought it in a store I would not have had one. The company responded to me and told me that since it was a warehouse deal, the tech is not covered by I suppose I can understand that since I am not the first owner, but I would think that a decently maintained Porsche would get the job done It is highly unlikely that a clock would last more than 8 months, regardless of how many people own In some sense, the fact that it worked for the first eight months proves that the original owner did not run it over with his car or drop it in the bathtub. In my case, that button isn't likely to have gone bad as a result of my poor handling My complaint is not the clock much less the customer service. Anyhow, I'm not satisfied with the clock and the customer service is a bit disappointing.
