Love this clock!
5 Stars
Love this clock!
I have always loved projection clocks with the outdoor and indoor temp. My old clock stopped giving me the outdoor temp, and new batteries and trying to sync it didn’t work, so I needed to buy a new one. I bought a cheaper one but realized why it was so cheap. The projection was incredibly blurry and did not have the focus on it so it was absolutely useless of a projection clock. I returned it and read through reviews of other clocks. This was the only one I could find that had the focus on the back of the projection. I can focus it so it is crisp and clear. I honestly do not know why anyone would buy the other clocks.This clock was so easy to set up and I cannot voice enough how the focus on the projector is needed. I hope they don’t ever eliminate it because it is an important feature. If you are looking for a projection clock with the indoor/ outdoor temp and one you can actually read this is the clock for you. Yes it’s a lot more than other projection clocks, but worth it.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Ambient Weather RC-8401 Is THE Clock To Buy!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019
I received this Ambient Weather RC-8401 clock about 1 week ago and I am 100% satisfied! More than satisfied! It exceeds all my expectations in a projection clock. I like: 1) it's atomic, thus i don't have to change the time when the time changes! It automatically set itself after a few hours. Ha! 2) It was easy to set up and I am no brainiac! I just followed the instructions on what to do 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Too easy! 3) The projection of time and alternating temperature is perfect and I am nearsighted, I wear glasses! While in bed at night, the projection is VERY VERY clear! It measures about 13" tall from bottom to top. 4) the setting buttons are all in easy to find places, no confusion; the flip button is right on top rather than in back. 5) I enjoy the screen on the clock changing colors depending on the temperature. 6) I've had a previous projection clock from another company and it was a smaller clock but had no temperature projection. This one by far is better than that one and projection is much larger as well.

Note: all projection clocks basically rotate 180 degrees, meaning you can flip it in reverse on the ceiling or wall. So I place mine on a shelf away from the foot of my bed and shoot the projection above my bed. The red numbers are extremely easy to see at night and I enjoy watching the temperature, knowing how cold it's getting outdoors as well as how hot my husband has the heater cranked up to. The face of the clock is not that bright and I have it on low setting, but then it's not right next to my face either. BTW, it also gives a general forecast! Shows iconic clouds, sunny skies & rain.

I will not comment on the alarm function as I don't use that function. I bought it for the rest of the features that I mentioned above. I am very very content I bought this clock! Excellent product! And I'd buy again!
