Although there is a lot of variation in these simple-looking little machines, we have organized our side-by-side comparisons so that you can find the perfect clock for your needs. Our in-depth analysis examines everything from alarm options to display types to ease of use and considers special features. While waking up to an alarm is not always enjoyable, you can at least rest easy knowing you have picked out a model that works best for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Our favorite alarm clock overall is the Amazon Echo Dot. Though it requires WiFi, this voice-controlled model is easy to use and offers lots of sound options. We also love the JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise for its gentle light wake-up. If you&#8217;re looking for an affordable option, the Magnasonic Projection offers plenty of features for your buck.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a classic clock with a built-in radio, our comparison of clock radios will help point you in the right direction. We&#8217;ve also tested various other bedroom essentials, like the comfiest comforters and mattress toppers to the more simple staples like the best sleep masks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: We updated this review on December 5, 2024, to provide a quick overview of our favorite clocks.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt-1\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<h2>Quick Look<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-flex w-100\">\n<div class=\"align-self-start pt-1 py-0\" style=\"width: 135px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/25\/494029_27099_S.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" width=\"128\" height=\"99\" alt=\"Thumbnail photo of Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%;

The Echo Dot is Wi-Fi enabled, and although it requires using the Amazon Alexa app to set up, it only took our testers two taps of a finger to have an accurate time displayed on the small screen. Alarms can be set using the app or by asking Alexa to set an alarm for you. We enjoyed the tactile snooze feature \u2014 press the top of the device to snooze \u2014 but you can also ask Alexa to snooze if you are out of reach. With a large variety of built-in sounds, music streaming integrations, a small visual display for quick time checks, plus all the benefits of the Alexa smart-speaker product line, the Echo Dot is an ultimate alarm clock.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its high performance, folks searching for a traditional or less interconnected device might have some reservations about the <strong>Echo Dot<\/strong>. Wall power, the phone app, and an internet connection are all required to use this model. While the setup was a breeze during testing, adjusting the alarm time and details (beyond setting a single-use alarm) also requires the app. Alexa will happily recite the date or temperature, but you&#8217;ll be disappointed if you hope to see more than the time displayed on this clock. If you prioritize a big bridge display above all else, check out the American Lifetime Day Clock. Nevertheless, if you are looking for an integrated alarm clock \u2014 that also doubles as a smart speaker \u2014 look no further than the Echo Dot. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The sleek design of the Amazon Echo felt futuristic when paired with the accompanying app and voice control capabilities.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Hale Milano<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492610_22985_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492610_22985_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492610_22985_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" alt=\"alarm clock - the sleek design of the amazon echo felt futuristic when paired with...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%;

It includes unique features that set it apart while costing much less than other top-scoring clocks. We were impressed with the easy setup of this device despite the higher-than-average number of buttons. We also liked the time-projection feature, which is handy if you do not want to stare right into an LCD with sleep-blurred eyes. Dedicated nap and sleep sound timers also came in handy because we didn&#8217;t need to adjust our normal alarm for a mid-day snooze. <\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Magnasonic Projection<\/strong> displays plenty of information like the day, time, and temperature, but reading the dot-style screen can be difficult. The time projects on a ceiling in large, bold numbers and is very readable in the dark, but easily reading it during the daytime was a struggle during testing. Check out the JALL Wooden Electronic LED if you want a better display. Also, the alarm sound, which is a simple, jolting beep, is pretty uninspiring. But if you are shopping for better-than-average features in an alarm clock at a better-than-average price, the Magnasonic is still our first recommendation.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>A dedicated sleep-sounds and nap feature are nice touches on the Magnasonic Projection clock, enabling a quick snooze without adjusting alarm times.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Hale Milano<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492615_18444_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492615_18444_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492615_18444_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" alt=\"alarm clock - a dedicated sleep-sounds and nap feature are nice touches on the...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%;

The JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise alarm specializes as a gentle alarm clock. The clock offers seven light settings that slowly brighten over a customizable period before the alarm sounds. The alarm settings range from bird sounds to soft music to a more traditional beeping. The volume and text brightness are adjustable, so you can dial in your perfect settings to suit your sensitivities.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this alarm requires a lot of fiddling to set up any particular preferences. For instance, you must first set the time, then ringtone, then volume, then wake-up brightness, then the length of the simulated sunrise \u2014 oh, and don&#8217;t forget the color of the light. While this is not hard to do, it requires much more work than other models. Once customized to your liking, the <strong>Wake Up Light Sunrise<\/strong> alarm is straightforward and can make mornings all the more pleasant. If you prefer to skip the hassle and want an easier setup, consider an option like the Magnasonic Projection. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>Ease into your mornings with the ultra-customizable JALL &#8220;sunrise&#8221;

The slider dimmer for the display is intuitive and effective. The redundant battery power source and the night light are welcome features for those traveling with this alarm clock. The grippy rubber feet are also a nice touch for those groggy users swatting at the oversized snooze button. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the snooze button, we miss the ability to adjust the snooze interval length with this clock. As it is, the <strong>Travelwey Home Digital<\/strong> is fixed at five-minute intervals instead of the typical ten-minute. This alarm is also limited by its lack of display colors or additional features like a phone charger port. However, you can adjust the alarm volume to either high or low with the flip of a switch, which is a nice touch. All in all, this is a simple and practical alarm clock at a very reasonable price. But if you value an adjustable snooze setting, the Sonic Alert Sonic Bomb Dual is worth a look. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>Rest easy with the simple and effective Travelwey Digital alarm clock.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Laura Casner<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/0\/461475_13059_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/0\/461475_13059_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/0\/461475_13059_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"466\" alt=\"alarm clock - rest easy with the simple and effective travelwey digital alarm clock.\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%;

In addition to its loud alarm, it has a bed vibrator that will shake you awake. This later feature will help you keep on the good side of those sleeping nearby as they will not have to hear your alarm blaring while you saw logs. We also appreciate the adjustable alarm volume and the customizable snooze. <\/p>\n<p>While the <strong>Sonic Bomb<\/strong> could be a standby in the modern necromancer&#8217;s tool kit, its operation is no mystery. It lacks adjustability in the color and brightness of the text. Adjustments to both the time and alarm are a one-way scroll, which can be <em>very<\/em> frustrating if you accidentally miss your set time. However, it has a redundant power supply using both batteries and a cord, so your time and alarm settings will be saved when the unit is unplugged or the power goes out. If you are a heavy sleeper with a penchant for snoozing through alarms, this one will ensure you never miss a wake-up again. Also consider the Travelwey Home Digital for easy setup and a dimmable display.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The Sonic Bomb offers a buzz instead of buzzers;

Two AAA batteries power it, and it has a minimal footprint on the nightstand. The time and alert are easy to set, and the snooze is repeatable. <\/p>\n<p>Despite how much we like the simplicity, the <strong>Travelwey Digital Travel<\/strong> lacks almost every feature offered by other models we reviewed. Most notably, this alarm will not charge your phone, the snooze interval is not adjustable, and you can not set more than one alarm. Furthermore, the alarm volume and tone are fixed, and the display is tiny. While all of that may seem too simplistic, it is a perfect, inexpensive option for those light travelers who still want a dedicated alarm clock outside their phone. The more techy travelers might prefer the <strong>Amazon Echo Dot<\/strong>, which is still relatively small and has the benefits of doubling as a speaker and Alexa hub.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div

After comparing and contrasting dozens of products, we purchased all these clocks for side-by-side testing. From time and alarm settings to light and sound adjustments, we explore the full capabilities of every alarm we review, and this in-depth analysis provides insight into how these machines will perform in real-life situations. <\/p>\n<p>We used <strong>four performance metrics<\/strong> in our alarm clock testing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alarm <em>(30% of overall score weighting)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Display <em>(25% weighting)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ease of Use <em>(25% weighting)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Features <em>(20% weighting)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Why Trust GearLab<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>GearLab Tester Hale Milano is a veteran home electronics tester.

Below is a detailed look at each metric, which clocks performed well in the underlying assessments, and why we chose to highlight specific alarm clocks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"chartColumn\" class=\"content_table_xwide\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0 15px 0 0; height: 602px; position:relative;\">\n<div id=\"pricevalue_chart_div\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pv_overlay_above\">\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; color: #990000;\">Worse Value<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pv_overlay_below\">\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; color: olivedrab;\">Better Value<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the Best Value?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>To rate the value of each alarm clock, we considered the blend between each model&#8217;s price and overall performance. There is a broad range of prices and scores, and it is important to remember that price is not an overall factor of performance, nor does it guarantee that a device will meet your needs. <\/p>\n<p>A great blend of price and performance is the <strong>Magnasonic Projection<\/strong> clock. It packs various features and user-friendly controls that helped it score highly across the board and comes in well under the average cost of other top-scoring models in our lineup. Although it is on the higher end of our price range, the additional features and overall performance score of the <strong>Echo Dot<\/strong> make it well worth your consideration, especially if you value the features of a smart speaker and alarm clock combination. Lastly \u2014 proving that your needs ultimately determine the value of a model to you \u2014 the <strong>Travelwey Digital Travel<\/strong> is one of the most budget-friendly alarm clocks in our lineup and is the perfect, packable option for people on the go. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>Ultimately the features that are most important to you determine which alarm clock is the best value.

We compared each model&#8217;s different sound options, the range in alarm volume, and different types of sensory alarms, such as light and vibration. We also assessed whether or not each clock could store multiple alarms, and whether or not the snooze was adjustable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure-chart\">\n<div id=\"chart_alarm_div\" style=\"width:100%; min-height:530px;\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its Wi-Fi-enabled features, the <strong>Echo Dot<\/strong> was a top performer in this metric. Its ability to theoretically set an infinite number of alarms is unlike any other model we tested. We also loved the ability to set a quick alarm with only your voice, maximizing the amount of time you can dedicate to sleeping. This device also earned high marks thanks to many pre-loaded alarm sounds and the ability to integrate with music streaming services. A unique feature of the interconnected Echo is integrating your alarm with other smart home devices for a custom wake-up routine. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>You can snooze the alarm with a tap of the finger, or by just saying &#8220;snooze&#8221;, with the smart Amazon Echo.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Hale Milano<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492611_5899_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492611_5899_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492611_5899_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" alt=\"alarm clock - you can snooze the alarm with a tap of the finger, or by just saying...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 467;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">You can snooze the alarm with a tap of the finger, or by just saying \u201c<em>snooze<\/em>\u201d, with the smart Amazon Echo. \u00a0 <span class=\"photo-credit\">Credit: Hale Milano<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>JALL Wake Up Light<\/strong> also scored highly in our alarm tests.

We considered the size of the display, how a clock displayed information like time \u2014 whether it can be displayed as a 12- or 24-hour clock \u2014 and the text size, including the size of the AM\/PM indicator. We also considered the ability to adjust the color and brightness of the display, two factors that can greatly affect your ability to read a clock. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure-chart\">\n<div id=\"chart_display_div\" style=\"width:100%; min-height:530px;\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>While many clocks in our lineup offer limited display options, the <strong>JALL Wooden LED<\/strong> stands out.

Well-designed feature sets create a positive experience or expand the functionality of each one to something more than just an alarm clock.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure-chart\">\n<div id=\"chart_features_div\" style=\"width:100%; min-height:530px;\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Echo Dot<\/strong> swept away the competition regarding features. Because this clock is part of the Echo lineup, it has the full range of smart-speaker capabilities that all the Echo products have, such as smart home integration, music streaming, and voice control. One downside is that the Echo does not have a battery backup \u2014 something most alarms do \u2014 so without power or Wi-Fi, it loses all utility. As a smart clock, it also requires a phone app for setup.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>If you want to adjust specific alarm features you&#8217;ll have to use the accompanying phone app with the Amazon Echo.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Hale Milano<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492612_1997_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492612_1997_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492612_1997_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" alt=\"alarm clock - if you want to adjust specific alarm features you&#039;ll have to use the...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 467;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">If you want to adjust specific alarm features you&#8217;ll have to use the accompanying phone app with the Amazon Echo. \u00a0 <span class=\"photo-credit\">Credit: Hale Milano<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Magnasonic Projection<\/strong> clock also includes plenty of features. Our favorites were a sleep sounds timer that plays music for a set period (90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes) and a nap timer that sounds a buzzer alarm for up to 90 minutes (in 10-minute increments). It was also the only clock with an AM\/FM radio and AUX cable input for use as a speaker.

Users can choose between two text colors and set the display to automatically dim between 7 PM and 7 AM. Additionally, this machine can be set to chime on the hour, from 9 AM to 6 PM or all 24 hours of the day. The most helpful feature was five programable alarms with text alerts (all regarding taking medicine). The downside is that this clock does not have a snooze button, lending itself to serve more as a clock in the living room rather than the bedroom.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"content_table_xwide\">\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The large font and bold lettering on the American Lifetime clock was easy to read from a distance in both the light and the dark.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'>Credit: Hale Milano<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492613_19343_XL.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492613_19343_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492613_19343_L2.jpg 830w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492613_19343_XL.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/37\/11\/492613_19343_XXL.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"alarm clock - the large font and bold lettering on the american lifetime clock was...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 1024 \/ 576;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"content_table_xwide\">\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">The large font and bold lettering on the American Lifetime clock was easy to read from a distance in both the light and the dark. \u00a0 <span class=\"photo-credit\">Credit: Hale Milano<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In this hands-on review of alarm clocks, we looked at all aspects of product functionality. We collated the information from our tests to easily show which models satisfy specific needs. Namely, we assessed each model for its primary ability to serve as an alarm and its display, ease of use, and features.<\/p>\n<p>While many of us have other devices to play music, the top-performing clock radios on the market today are incredibly versatile \u2014 many also have alarm features. If you decide a clock isn&#8217;t the best approach, consider a wireless charger so you have a dedicated spot by your bedside to use your phone as an alarm. And if you regularly travel, consider a portable power bank from our tests to ensure your phone stays well-charged through the night.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\n\u2014<i>Hale Milano, Nick Miley, and Austin Palmer<\/i><br \/>\n<br \/> \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hale Milano \u22c5 Review Editor\u00a0 \u22c5 \u00a0Updated December 5, 2024 Contributions From: Nick Miley &#038; Austin Palmer Are you seeking a gentle way to rise or an alarm to wake the dead?
