almost perfect, Jan 27 2009

Looks great, easy to read (even from across the bedroom half asleep), keeps good time and the price was right. My only small complaint is that the battery compartment cover is made from plastic that is difficult to open more than once. The provided battery must be put into place without the protective strip in order to get it started. Great. The problem is that the manufacturers have the plastic screw cap tight enough so that when first opened it strips the groves that keep it in place. I'm going to hot glue a small handle to the back and hope that will take care of the problem.

Battery Access....., Sep 23 2009

I purchased this lighted clock/night light because I cannot find any other
night light with a clock. I use it for the kitchen since my coffeemaker
clock is not backlit. I, too, spent about 20 minutes trying to open the
battery compartment and finally found a simple way! Just take a dime
and twist the battery door circle to the open position (follow the arrow)
then lightly tap the clock (with the clock face facing you) on a desk or
counter and the little black lid pops right out. I have only done this
once but I would think it would work repeated times. I hope this helps.
Other than the difficult battery access, my only small complaint is that
the clock's second hand is audible with every tick, which slightly annoys me
just because I personally don't like to hear clocks tick.

We bought 3 of these clocks; one for our bathroom, one for our RV and one for the garage. They're bright, have battery backup, and are cute, too.
