Overall Rating: starstarstar

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!

Ownership verified by DX wonderfull alarm clock

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)

Ownership verified by DX Fun toy, but not the best alarm clock

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

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.

Ownership verified by DX Nice, but vibrates alot

Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Really flies and makes you get up
- 8 options for alarm tunes
- Overall beautiful design

Cons: - The small helicopter doesn't fit too well on its top
- Because it doesn't fit well, it vibrates A LOT when it flies. The vibration is enough to wake me up by itself

Other Thoughts: I thought the helicopter would fly to the ceiling, but all it does is lift off (not very high), and fly away. Don't get me wrong, although it doesn't fly high, it really goes far enough to make you search for it.

Bottomline: The helicopter could fit better, but it's nice anyway... I'm still thinking on some way to make it not vibrate so much.
