Sansai CR-075E LCD Alarm Clock 2/A

We thought this alarm clock looked like it had everything we needed - and it mostly does! Big display, date, temperature etc. It doesn’t have the most intuitive set up, but not a big deal unless someone is changing their daily alarm frequently. It also only allows 2x for snoozing before shutting off completely, which isn’t great for someone who likes to hit it a few times. But what we couldn’t get past was the alarm sound - it’s a very tinny, cheesy version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”! Absolutely maddening for us, and makes it unusable. Unfortunately we weren’t able to return it within the 7 days. We thought this alarm clock looked like it had everything we needed - and it mostly does!

The backlight has a darker blue hue compared to what’s shown in the images, which I like as I personally prefer the darker hue.

It also features a world clock function, though the default setting is for a US timezone (i think). Adjusting it to Wellington time (local timezone) took me about two minutes to figure out, as the instructions didn't explicitly explain the process.

One cool feature is the motion or sound-activated lighting, which works well and is especially handy at night—it’s a clever addition.

I just got and setup it up today. so,I can’t review its durability but overall, I’m happy with the clock. The backlight has a darker blue hue compared to what’s shown in the images, which I like as I personally prefer the darker hue.

It's a nice little clock. The idea that sound can turn on the backlight is a cunning one - though you don't want to make noises at night that might wake up your partner. But its disadvantage is that it is hard to remember how to set up the alarm and change the time. The buttons on the back don't have labels that help, and they're on the back when you want to look at the front to see the time you are setting. It's a nice little clock.

The setting process is wantonly obscure. The automatic setting for NZ’s time zone is about 5 hours out. I still haven’t figured out how to set the date.
But the display is good, and the display for night use is very good. The setting process is wantonly obscure. The automatic setting for NZ’s time zone is about 5 hours out. I still haven’t figured out how to set the date.
