FAQ:

Q: What is the best digital alarm clock for You?

A: Best for: Anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, prefers a huge digital display, and is just looking for the basics to be done right. Why it’s great: The RCA RCD30 is an affordable digital alarm clock with a bright display, an easy-to-use button layout, and an alarm loud enough to wake even heavy sleepers.

Q: Should you buy an alarm clock for your bedroom?

A: Unobtrusive: An alarm clock should not be the first thing you notice in a bedroom—perhaps it should even be the last. Leave the statement pieces to the living room. Extra features: Radio, USB ports, Bluetooth and internet connectivity, multiple alarms, alarm sound and tone options, and a backup battery are all welcome (but not necessary).

Q: Which Philips alarm is the best for waking up early?

A: Of all of the potential alarm upgrades, the sunrise alarm on the $50 Philips HF3500 is the only one that actually makes it easier to wake up in the morning. Shaped a bit like a UFO with a kickstand, the HF3500 has a simple circular orange clock face surrounded by a couple of buttons and a wide light ring.

Q: What are the buttons on an alarm clock for?

A: It only has a handful of buttons, all of which are easy to understand and use. The big red numbers dominate the LED display, and the snooze button is easy to find and smack when you want to shut up the alarm in the morning. You can adjust the brightness of the numbers with a slider on the back.
