 DON'T BE DECEIVED Doesn't run on water, not Eco Friendly Mar 07, 2010
By Thomas Milburn
The claim that this product is environmentally friendly is rubbish. Its powered by a battery, it just happens to be a copper-zinc battery which uses water as a conductor. After a year or so the zinc strip completely corrodes away leaving you with a piece of plastic which doesn't work and you can't replace the batteries so you have to bin it. Not so environmentally friendly now is it?!
Having said that it works well as a clock for a while and it looks quite funky.

Cool, but cheap May 17, 2009
By N. Walter
Considering the $20 MSRP of this clock, the designers didn't think through the design all the way. My clock is missing a few segments brand new out of the box. After taking it apart I realized that the clock itself is not water proof/resistant at all and it appears that some water leaked into the clock while I was filling it and damaged part of the digits. It's amazing that for $20 they couldn't afford to put a half cent rubber gasket around the edge of the clock to prevent water from doing this.
I recommend anyone who buys this to not fill this under a sink, try a water bottle or something so that you can better control the water.
Edit: Now the clock only seems to work for about a day at a time before it starts to get very dim and shut off at which point I have to shake it to get it to come back but by then the clock is several hours off making it essentially worthless as a clock. I've tried changing the lemon/water mix several times now and get the same results.

 Save Your Money, Do Not Buy, No Warranty from Bedol Oct 15, 2009
By Ricardo
I received the clock at the end of August. The right hand segments of the minutes display stopped working recently, 8:08 looks like 8:0E.
Although this clock is water-powered you need to add a small amount of a weak acid like lemon juice or vinegar. However, the electronic/display bezel is not water proof. I suspect that some water got into the display, the electronics and display are not sealed.
I called Bedol but they don't warranty the clock for problems like this.

 Excellent product! Dec 31, 2008
By Vilcjo
I gave this clock to one of my nieces for Christmas. It was easy to get it started and it worked fine. What impressed me and made me chuckle was that during the day, every man in the extended family had to inspect it and see just what made it tick. I thought my niece would like it to use with her students as a teaching tool. I was amazed at how mesmerizing it was for just about every man who saw it. It's a really great gift idea!

BEDOL WATER-POWERED CLOCK Sep 12, 2009
By VERTIGO
"VERTIGO"
It looks great, exactly as the picture in a nice combination of crystal blue & silver. As it works with lemon juice, I don't know if the problem is with my Californian lemons or with the Florida's water, but it works very bad. It turns off very often and I have to constantly refill the lemon juice.
It is hilarious, when suddenly, the water reservoir cover jumps in the air, just as a Champagne cork. The lemon juice ferments and it explodes - Myth Busters go there! It is a great bomb-alarm clock, literally.
