This is a pretty big cuckoo clock, which I just love. It makes a very pretty "furnishing"to my living room. I bought a cuckoo clock about 20 years ago but had to replace itbecause the terminals got so corroded, but I have that hanging in my bedroom, justbecause it is such a pretty piece. The Kendal clock keeps perfect time, (no "cuckoo"noises, thank you), and it is pretty much what I expected and I'm very happy that Ibought it.

But first a word about the New Shining Image Company. My clock shipped with only one of the wooden dangles. We did not discover this until Mother's Day, even though the clock had arrived more than a week earlier, because it was a Mother's Day gift. I emailed New Shining Image through Amazon on Sunday, expecting at best to get a reply on Monday. To my surprise, they responded within an hour. On Monday the missing "weights" were on their way, and here in Houston by Thursday. That is truly exceptionally good customer service.An earlier review dissed this clock because "It isn't a real Black Forest Cuckoo Clock." Well, Duh! Sure, those are nice, and an equivalent mechanical clock from Europe could easily run $1200.00 or more. Sure, if you are rich, go for one of those. But for everyone else like us, who have to live on a real-world budget, this is as close as we will ever come to owning a cuckoo clock. My wife loves it, and I am very grateful to have come upon it while searching the web for cuckoo clocks we could actually afford.Yes, this is a battery-operated clock; the "weights" are carved from wood and are ornamental only. It's nice that the pendulum swings via a motor, even though it is ornamental, too, and is not used to adjust the speed of the clock. For $100.00 this clock is a fantastic bargain! It keeps time well; the cuckoo sound with echo sounds nice, and the music with the twirling dancers is even better. The case is hand-carved wood, not plastic, and it has all of the beauty of real wood. The clock keeps time well.I could not be more satisfied or happier with it.

I didn't think it would be that big but I really enjoy it. I have not gotten it to the exact timing yet, but its really a piece of art on my wall.

This cuckoo clock is better than I expected. Let’s face it, any cuckoo clock made in the Black Forest that cost 120.00 was bound to be tiny, stamped out, and pitiful. It would have been inaccurate and prone to breakdowns. It would have been like the three losers that I foolishly bought in the the childish hope that I’d get to see and hear the charmingly fairytale whimsical CUCKOO on the hour.So I ordered this one. And It’s great. Big. Loud. Accurate. Cheesey. Garish. Noisy and does all sorts of silly movements. The pedulum swings, the dancers spin, the cuckoo leaps out and cuckoos. It’s got leaves and deer and trees; it’s got three weights hanging on chains. It looks like wood, in fact I think a lot of the decoration is wood. Now comes the kicker, because it’s movement is quartz it’s super accurate and probably won’t wear out for years. It does everything it’s supposed to do. It’s wonderful. It’s the absolute fulfillment of my 8 year old heart’s wish for the perfect cuckoo clock. For a little over 120.00 and free shipping.(There is One thing I might change, if I could, the cuckoo has an echo...why? But I guess that just adds to the whimsy... I

Couple of things: the clock is made of wood, not plastic, except the bird. The dial is white, not golden as shown in the pictures. The clock pretty much looks the same as in the official photo. The finish of the wood is nice (not too glossy) and the shade is rich chocolate brown. The wood carvings are decent,but the details are nowhere near the level of an authentic black forest clock (so is the price:)). A true certified cuckoo clock from Germany of this size with the given features would be more than a thousand dollars. This one doesn't have the fine carvings and details in a real cuckoo clock, and the wood contours have less 3D feel to it. Setting up the clock was super easy and hanging on the wall doesn't need anything more than a simple nail, given the weight. The cuckoo sound is fine (not a fan of the echo), but the music is a bit dull, missing the high frequencies and different sounding than a Swiss music box. Overall, I would place the clock in a personal place like a bedroom or a hallway, but maybe not as a centerpiece in a formal living room. Given the size, the features and the wooden look and feel, I would consider this a fair value for money.

So ugly, that it's ADORABLE! I've had this for about three hours with the two "D" batteries in it and so far I love it. Be sure to buy two "D" batteries when you order this so you can get it going right away. Besides cuckooing with a cute little echo, each hour it plays a different nursery rhyme tune, like Bingo, Baa Baa Black Sheep, etc. You can turn the sound off, or the built in light sensor will turn it off for you when it's dark. You can choose a high or low setting for the sound. I have mine set on low and that's just perfect. The wood is beautifully hand-carved and the clock is an impressive size (check product measurements). I'm thinking of getting some of these for my kids for Christmas. I think the grand kids will enjoy growing up with this cuckoo clock! Very nostalgic.Update: I spent the whole day listening to this clock and writing down the songs just so I could share them with you. They are as follows:12:00 - Bingo (was his name, OH!)1:00 - ? IDK this song2:00 - ? IDK this song either3:00 - Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star4:00 - Home on the Range5:00 - Do you Know the Muffin Man?6:00 - Baa, Baa, Black Sheep7:00 - Oh My Darling, Clementine8:00 - Here We Are Together9:00 - Rock-A-Bye Baby10:00 - Three Blind Mice11:00 - The Farmer in the Dell

Loses time daily. Stops whenever it pleases. Fresh batteries installed. Nothing more I can do. Stick with cuckoo clocks made in the Black Forest.

I love that it’s rather large. The cookoos and the songs after are fun. The greatest part is that the clock will not engage in the amazing outrageous noises and song when it’s after dark due to a light sensor. Also the ticking of the clock is very quiet.

It only sounds during daylight. Everyone likes its looks, sounds and substantial size. Our 5 year old runs to the kitchen every time it sounds and takes a drink of water - which she agreed to do if we got this clock and put it in the living room of our isolated, off grid, ranch house.Sneaky aren't we? Guess who is better hydrated and healthier now?- -Edit: we are a month away from the 5 year anniversary of having purchased this clock. Still perfect, still running flawlessly.- -Edit: nearly six years now. Still like new.- -Edit: seven years. Still flawless. Now 12, our daughter still drinks water when it sounds. Important here in the high desert.

Wow! This cuckoo clock is amazing! My husband and I just love it. It arrived yesterday. I expected it to be smaller but it's much larger than expected. I love the way the cuckoo sounds....when it comes out it cuckoo loud followed by a quieter cuckoo which sounds like an echo and you can hear a background sound of birds. The little angel dancers dance to a different nursery rhyme after the cuckoo bird finishes his performance 😉. The bird only cuckoo's on the hour. This clock is very well made. Its crafted by wood.

It is a large clock and it really works well. The Cuckoo is nice (bird comes out) and at the end the melody plays and the dancers spin around. It comes well packed in a box. Very nice. Surprising good deal for the $ .

We really love this coucou clock, it's size and look pefectly fits our traditional style country house. But it always runs in a hurry, in a couple of days it hurries about 15 minutes and we constantly have to fix it.
