Pros: It's a rlly cool item to use wich would solve my problem in the morning.

if it would work...

Cons: It worked about 10 minutes, it flew 1 time, but then it didn't do anything anymore.

i pulled out the batteries, replaced them etc. nothing helped. The screen didn't even light up anymore...

Also, when i removed the protection from the LCD, some of the plastic fell off. They used double sided tape to stick it to the clock >.< So the build quality ain't that good either.

Other Thoughts: Cool item if it would work...

Bottomline: Don't buy, wait for a 2nd gen maybe.

Some cons, but LOVED!

Pros: Alright!
The clock is very nice..
I had a big problem waking up from bed on the morning..
but now.. i can't stay down.. or i go crazy cause this clock, lol
so its perfect for me, lol
Its not very cheap, but if you willing to pay.. it worths!
 
Cons: By the cons... price is a bit expensive..
quality should be a bit better for this price..
MANUAL is shit.. took me a while to figure it out..
You gonna need some time to set it all up for the first time.. since the manual doesn't help on that at all.. but on the end, after you manage it, it works fine!
 
Other Thoughts: Well, its not very cheap and quality is not very good.. but it does what it meant to be.
 
Bottomline: Go go go!

Pros: -The alarm clock works well, althoug some modifications can be made. (see other thougts)
-The alarm is loud and irritating which is a good thing (so you do wake up)
-The display can be set to another colour.
-It has a demo fly button, so you can test/play with it whithout setting the alarm every time you want a flight...
 
Cons: - the manual is a bit poor, but pushing some buttons and you wil find out how it works.
- the chopper/helicopter lifts sraight up and wil hit the ceiling and falls then straight down (not hard to search, but see other toughts)
 
Other Thoughts: The lifting straight up problem is solved by playing with some weights on the nose or the tail of the helicopter.
 
Bottomline: - good product
- good price
- good quality (by price)
 
					

Fun toy, but not the best alarm clock

Pros: - It's a fun novelty.
- Flies pretty high.
 
Cons: - The alarm / time controls are terrible. It took me forever to figure out how to set the alarm. The "alarm set" button only works when you are configuring the alarm time, by the way.
- The LCD is hard to read: it's quite dim.
- The LCD backlight blinks annoyingly whenever you press buttons.
- The buttons are not responsive.
- There is no volume control.
- The build quality is not great. The plastic bit that spins the rotor came right off the second time I activated the helicopter: I glued it back on and it's OK now.
- DealExtreme's shipping is bad for fragile items, and the shaft connecting the little helicopter to its rotor was bent on arrival.
- It flies up quite high when the alarm goes off, and can easily damage your ceiling.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: It's a fun novelty, and I didn't expect it to replace my clock radio. It was what I expected, which is why I say it's good value.
