Kmart Anko Sunrise Music Alarm Clock
VerifiedMPN: JLR-794254 reviews
I bought this sunrise alarm clock in-store, hoping it would gradually get brighter to wake me up gently. I tried everything to get it to work as advertised, but unfortunately it doesn’t. The light just turns on with the alarm instead of gradually increasing. The product description says: “This Sunrise Music Alarm Clock helps you wake up naturally with gradually increasing light and soothing sounds, improving your overall sleep quality and mood.” Sadly, it does not deliver on this promise, so I’ll be returning it.
Purchased in at Kmart Retail Stores for $39.
There is no ac power cord, only a very short (45cm) usb charging cable. The radio is only FM, no AM. Instructions for using the radio do not tell you how to stop the auto search for a station on the station you want ; as a result i could not get the radio to stop on any station it found, it only cycled through. The charge will not last a night if you have the night light on (even on very dim), so you would need to have it plugged in the whole time if you want the light on (which may not be possible unless you have a power outlet right next to where you have the clock).
There are 6 nature sounds and one beep-beep for alarm options. I can't comment on any gradual light alarm as the clock battery ran out before my set alarm time, with a voice telling me every ten seconds: "battery low. please recharge" which was lovely to wake up to at 5am. My children enjoyed it in the room next door, also.
Returning this for sure.

Absolute waste of money. They last about 3 days off a charge and that’s only using the radio for an hour total. The rest is just on standby. Want to make the battery last longer by turning it off during the day? Well, you’ll need to reset your radio, volume AND alarm settings because it’s like they have the memory of a goldfish. Save your money, buy something else.

Great, except for the fact that you need to charge it every couple of days! Features are good but should be able to plug it in or put batteries in it. Says "battery low" in the middle of the night when it needs charging. Really annoying.
