Customer Reviews of Homedics SS-5000 Sound Spa Premier AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio
Customer Review: Worst clock ever
Summary: 1 Stars
Worst problem: changes time, even with the satellite update option turned off. A clock that makes you think it's an hour earlier that it really is can really screw up a person's life! I've tried numerous times to fix this issue, assuming that the clock is resetting itself but not to daylight savings time. I've turned off the satellite feature but the problem still occurs. For this reason, I threw it away rather than donate it. No one needs a clock like this.
Other issues: the buttons are too tiny to use if you are actually going to use this as an alarm clock. The ceiling display did become more difficult to read over time. The outside thermometer never worked from day one. Tried numerous ways to fix this with no luck.
Customer Review: Totally undependable!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a unit to count on if the alarm function is important to you, because the clock decides to reset itself to the incorrect time fairly frequently. This morning, for example, it set itself back 30 minutes. The atomic set function is useless -- doesn't work, has never worked. The display is too bright, even at the dimmer of two settings. There is no battery backup in case of power interruptions. However, the sound generator is okay, and the projection system for the time works fine, even when projecting the incorrect time! This is one to avoid.Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved the features of this alarm clock, but I give up.
The first time I bought this clock the remote temperature sensor did not work consistently. It would not always transmit the temperature, even if it was a foot away from the clock. I returned it.
The second time I bought it, the projector for the time and temperature was missing parts of the digits, so you cannot actually read either time or temp. This when the clock was brand new.
DO NOT BUY THIS LOW QUALITY PIECE OF JUNK
Customer Review: Don't buy it's a waste
Summary: 1 Stars
A terrible product with a high price. The illuminate setting casts a way too bright glare from the LCD screen, great for a night light if your afraid of the dark. During the first day in use the nature sounds would suddenly turn on by itself and then the time would change to an incorrect time. I believe the Atomic Time feature caused this but after I switched this feature off it would turn back on again. I will be returning this garbage after only two days.Customer Review: A lot of money for a cheap product
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, the worst thing about it is that the Buzzer is linked to the main volume. So if you want nice soft nature sounds to fall asleep to, you can forget about the alarm waking you up. Also, don't believe the pictures. The backlight for the clock is not a nice solid one like you see on the box. Its some screen with little holes in it with a light behind it. The whole thing feels cheap too. The Nature sounds do sound ok though.
