" ... My little girls love this alarm clock ... "
" ... Alarm tone options are better than many others . ... "
" ... The clock itself is sleek and stylish and very easy to use. ... "
" ... once you get used to the programming, it's a great clock! ... I love how the light turns on 30 minutes prior to the alarm, it makes it easier for me to get up in the morning. ... "
" ... I wanted the clock bad enough that thought I’d give it a try, and setting this clock went just fine following the directions. ... "
" ... This is a very cool alarm clock and has a lot of functions - all at a great price! ... "
" ... Needed an alarm clock for my room and I’m in love with this. ... "
" ... We are a pretty tech savvy family, but this alarm clock is almost impossible to set, and it is unpredictable whether it will turn on in the morning or not. ... It is a beautiful clock, but we can't seem to use it. ... "

" ... The setting buttons did not work as indicated, extremely disappointed as I was looking forward to using this alarm to encourage me to wake up earlier. ... "
" ... Very difficult to find / use buttons and to alter alarm settings. ... "
" ... The snooze button is SMALL . ... They need to make the snooze button larger. ... "
" ... You basically can't push the buttons so setting it is out. ... Returned before I ever set it up bc I couldn't set it up bc I couldn't push the buttons ... "
" ... * The physical buttons it does have are very loud - expect those to wake up anyone else nearby, too. ... * The controls are not intuitive. ... You often have to hold down a button for several seconds for an important function, or cycle through 3 settings you'll never change just to get to the one you need often, like setting the alarm time. ... * Some controls are not explained in the manual at all. ... "
" ... Received only to open the box to find all the top buttons already caving in- not functional. ... "
" ... The one downside would be the touch screen buttons can be a bit finicky. ... "
" ... Tried to set the time but the buttons on the front don't work. ... "

" ... By the time the sound starts (it has multiple sounds, including birds chirping which is my favorite) I wake up feeling refreshed. ... "
" ... Worked great for a month but now the music sounds like a dying cat. ... "
" ... this is a good product and works as indicated but if you are getting this for the overnight sound machine you will be disappointed. ... The sounds are used to wakeup only and not as an overnight sound machine. ... "
" ... Also, there are a variety of "wake up" noises. ... "
" ... The alarm sound is very electronic sounding ... "
" ... Lights and sounds are fine. ... "
" ... It has a radio that sounds great. ... "
" ... Great product, only thing I'd add to other reviews is speakers sound a little tinny and low quality but it's a great clock. ... "

" ... Can’t use colors for wake up feature ... "
" ... The sunset feature is awesome. ... "
" ... Best decision ever, the sunrise feature makes a woeld of difference ... "
" ... I love waking up to the light, which is the basic function of this product. ... "
" ... It's not as bright as I thought it would be, but has good features and a working radio. ... "
" ... The Sunrise feature is cool, not a bad way to wake up really. ... "

" ... She is not a fan of loud-sharp noises to wake up. ... "
" ... Also the low light is really too bright my whole room lights up. ... I’m going back to a $10 cheap digital with a loud annoying blaring sound for an alarm. ... "
" ... The volume control on this clock is awful! ... One can not adjust the volume below a dull roar. ... We’ve put tape over the speaker on the back of the clock but it’s still way too loud - especially for waking up in the morning. ... "
" ... The alarm volume doesn’t turn down and is the most ungodly sound. ... "

" ... On days when I can sleep in, I turn off the display completely. ... "
" ... I have to quickly turn on the light again unless I want to go back to sleep. ... "
" ... I like to sleep in completely darkness, so it's really nice to have this clock shed some soft artificial light in the morning to get me out of bed. ... I also like that there's a nightlight that automatically dims on a timer to help ease me to sleep. ... "
" ... Easy to use, does wake me up with only light if I happen to sleep facing the clock about 20 inches away at night hahah, and when I turn my back on it it doesn't work as well. ... "

" ... No matter how you touch/press them, they only worked maybe 5% of the time. ... "
" ... The touch buttons on this device are about 45% responsive. ... "
" ... My only gripe is that the touch screen buttons on the face of the clock sometimes don't register when you touch them, but outside of that, this is a great buy! ... "
" ... Changing something often requires going back and forth between touch screen and physical buttons. ... "
" ... The touch buttons didn't work for me and honestly right out of the box it strikes you how cheaply-made it is. ... "
" ... The setup is unnecessarily complicated with a less than responsive touch screen and the buttons on top only work sometimes. ... "
