[Nfb-idaho] Alarm clock suggestions

I totally understand. Inexpensive isn't always good, but our office sells them to clients since they are so reasonably priced, and I do not remember the time anyone has had a defective one.

I use my cell phone personally for my alarm, but we have a curve in our guest room, and have had it for probably 4 years now. Have only had to change batteries, and reset for daylight savings, but is working fine.

People also like the clock temp we have for the same price.

The curve is more modern-looking with the free-form shape to it and large talk button. It also have a display.
  The temp clock is also small and rectangular, another favorite, also robust.

> Thanks for the suggestions. Thanks, Ramona, for looking into more specifics.  I heard of a Seico one that Independence Market sell that is good and looks good.  Durability and ease of use would be paramount (also price).  The problem with Independent Market is that they don't specific brand or model, so it's difficult to get more information or user reviews online for a particular model.
> Judy, I'm worried about buying an inexpensive clock since we personally have not found those to be of good quality.  How long have you had your curve clock?
