The UE218. Our oldest line and our most reviewed: a continuous 0–100% dimmer dial, two independent alarms with weekday and weekend patterns, five wake tones from 30 to 110 decibels, and a USB port on the back.

The clock we have been building the longest, at the lowest price we make: blue LED, two independent alarms and a dimmer dial that turns the display right off.

Red LED reads warmer at night than blue or white. This is the UE218 people ask for by name when they replace an old clock radio.

White LED on black is the highest-contrast display in the range, and the easiest to read at arm’s length in the dark.

The same body with an RGB display: choose the digit colour to suit the room, then take the dimmer down until it stops mattering.

White shell with colour-changing digits: the UE218 that reads as furniture by day and as a nightlight after midnight.
Most bedside clocks offer a high setting and a low setting, and for a lot of people the low setting is still a lamp. The UE218 has a dial instead, running the display from full brightness to nothing at all. Owners tell us this is what sold them, and it is the reason a clock we launched in 2022 is still the one we sell most of.
Two people in one bed rarely get up at the same time. The UE218 carries two entirely separate alarms, each with its own time, its own tone and its own pattern: every day, weekdays only, or weekends only. Both switches are on the front, both are reachable half asleep, and the snooze bar across the top gives nine more minutes without anybody having to find a small button.
The alarm is adjustable from about 30 to about 110 decibels and always ramps up rather than starting at full volume. The top of that range is genuinely loud. For scale, national hearing-health guidance puts sirens at 110 to 129 dBA and warns that repeated exposure at or above 85 dBA can damage hearing. That setting exists for people who sleep through everything, and it is not where we would leave a clock that sits a foot from your ear every night.
The clock, a captive adapter with a 4.9-foot cord, and the instructions. Three AAA cells for the backup are not included. The USB port on the back charges a phone while the clock is plugged in; it does not run from the batteries.
This is the line the other four learned from: the dial, the ramp and the two alarms all started here. Odokee bedside clocks carry them in different combinations, and the bedside guide explains what each combination is for.
