I heart Bob
By Bob's Friend from New York, NY on 10/10/2008
Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display, Keeps Good Time, Reliable
Best Uses:
Bedroom
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bob is amazing. I received him as a Christmas present from my sister and thought she was a little insane for giving me a wobbly clock. I affectionately refer to him by name and ask others to do the same. I actually got rid of my alarm clock radio because it was too bulky and Bob gets the job done MUCH better. He's also really great on the off-chance that the electricity goes out in the middle of the night and he still wakes me up right on time. =)

Bob Saved My Life
By Proud Bob OwnerVerified Reviewer from Central Maine on 9/15/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Keeps Good Time, Nice Variety of Functions, Reliable
Cons:
Difficult To Read Display
Best Uses:
Decoration, Meaningful Gift, Physical Therapy Timer, Something to Hold
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This silly clock was given to me by my sister after major surgery. I became unreasonably attached to it and used it as as a timer while screaming through physical therapy. Complications required re-hospitalization. Bob came to my room. I was found clutching Bob in my sleep. I am over fifty and loathe the word "whimsy," so developing a relationship with an inanimate object is odd.

Bob is great. I bought it mostly for a handy thermometer and it works fantastically for that. The colors are bright and cheery. I locked it at temp and now I have the temp in my small apt. whenever I need it. Helps me to know if I need to turn on the air-conditioner!

 
Cool but needs some design improvements
By van from brazil on 6/3/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display, Keeps Good Time
Cons:
Unreliable
Best Uses:
Bedroom
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Has immediate appeal, but flaws show up later.

1) as already noted by many are the 3 AAA batteries, which don´t seem to last long, which is a sustainable design flaw.
2) the alarm has stopped working and in its place has come an irritating beep every 10 minutes. (this also happened to another one we have, so not a fluke). Nothing on it in the manual so reset and program everything anew

 
Love this clock

I love that the light is not always on. It only lights up when you touch it, so it doesn't keep you awake if light bothers you while you are sleeping. I also use it to see my way through my dark bedroom when my husband is still sleeping and I don't want to turn on the light.

I use this product in my dorm room. The color helps match the decor. I love that it has everything all in one and a light when I touch it so I don't have to hunt to find it. It is small but bright. It doesnt fall over and has a great heavy bottom to keep it on a surface. It is a great buy for a good price and covers everything I need!!

 
Bobby the Clocky
By Erika the Timely from Flemington, NJ on 3/1/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display, Color Choice, Keeps Good Time
Cons:
Inaccurate temperature, NO leap year
Best Uses:
Bedroom
Describe Yourself:
Stylish
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This decoration is extremely usable yet there are some cons. For instance, this year, 2008, happens to be a leap year. Instead of adding the extra day that is built into its system it skipped it. Therefore, I had to reset the date. There is one thing that can't be fixed; there is a calendar that is NOT readjustable. This is confusing for those who have a work or school week. In 2036 it will be back on the right day of the week. I suggest this setting to user who find themselves confused.

I bought this as a gift for my boss who was leaving to start his own company. It's a cute desk gag/gift that's not expensive. The only bad thing is it uses 3 AAA (small, fairly uncommon battery and it uses THREE - not two, not four) and they aren't included.

This was a great item! Works fantastic! The only problem was that the light doesn't stay on as long as you'd like. If you want to see the temp you have to press it 5 times. But overall I'd say it was pretty good.

 
Needs work.
By Rich from NJ on 1/20/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Keeps Good Time
Cons:
Batteries drain too fast, Difficult to Read Display
Best Uses:

The display is hard to read from anything but a downward view such as placement on a desk. I use it on my night table but have to move it to view display when lying down.
The batteries drain too quickly.

I thought when the alarm went off it would actually wobble by itself, which would be even cooler, but you have to nudge it anytime you want to see it wobble...

I love the design but wished that the display was lit all the time so that I could tell time from across the room. Also, when I hit the clock in the middle of the night, I wished it would show just the time...instead I have to hit it 5 times to get back to the time.

This is my alarm clock, well... my everything clock for my bedroom. It's great, the alarm works perfectly, and I really like it. The problem is, even if the battery still has some life in it, the clock goes wacky. The display fades, the alarm gets messed up [it would beep once and then snooze]. In fact, all i had to do was move around the three batteries. They weren't even dead yet, they were just dying. I really like the clock, but it could end up being a money waster because of the constant change of batteries.

Bought this item on 9/26 as a bathroom counter clock. Very stylish design and minimum space. Led display faded after about 2 months of use. Changed the battery but this wasn't the problem. Thought it might be water vapor from bathroom but don't see any behind glass. Plan to return to store for replacement since it has a 1 year warranty. Hopefully this is just a isolated problem.

I bought this product along with a keychain flashlight to get the lower price on BOB. It's a great little clock and pretty cool colors. The only issue was turning off the alarm. Now that I figured it out it's simple. First, unscrew the bottom and switch the "mode lock" to ON. Press the "set" button on the back of BOB until you get to the alarm. Then just simply press and hold the up arrow.Love it. Great job [...]. Oh and I love the flashlight too. I bought the blue for myself and the pink for my girlfriend.

Cute, but needs improvement
By StudentVerified Purchaser from Birmingham, AL on 8/23/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display
Cons:
Backlight Not Effecient
Best Uses:
Bedroom, Decoration, Desk
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bob is attractively designed and the different colored backlights are very nice. However, when you touch Bob, the backlight for the time doesn't automatically come on--the clock lights up on the category that follows the one it was just on. That means if it's late at night and you want to see what time it is, you may have to go through all the other categories to get to it, which is annoying. It's a clock, it should show the time first!
