Sound Quality

Pros:

  • "The sound features are so soothing to fall asleep to."
  • "I ❤ these. I like controlling the volume level of the noise."
  • "What a great product! Many different sounds to sleep with to choose from."
  • "Good variety of nature sounds and a white noise."
  • "The ocean sounds puts me right to sleep. Very calming."
  • "The wave sound is pretty realistic and doesn't have a noticeable break where it repeats."
  • "Love this alarm. Wake up to the sound of the ocean, rain storm, radio."

Cons:

  • "The nature sounds are muffled and worse than the same ones on my dedicated sound machine."
  • "The old Homedics had wonderful soothing sounds. This machine has muffled sounds that don't really represent what they're supposed to be."
  • "The rain sound is terrible. You can tell it’s on a loop and sounds nothing like the rain on the other 3 machines I’ve purchased."
  • "The sound machine, which is the main reason we bought the clock / sound machine, has a very annoying background noise that is repetitive and distracting."
  • "The alarm sounds are not pleasant."
  • "The white noise setting is a little high pitched for my taste."
  • "The noise machine works great, though some of the sounds have audibly noticeable loops."

Usability

Pros:

  • "It's easy to use so I'm not sure why some say it's difficult, I didn't even have to read the manual it came with and figured out all the features easily, as did my elementary school aged kids."
  • "This one is easy to use."
  • "Alarms, sound stays on all night for continuous sleep."
  • "It’s easy to set up, which was my biggest concern."
  • "Dual alarms can be set for different times and different sounds."
  • "I have three of these. I like this clock because it offers a radio, has a great volume, can dim or remove light for image display, and is easy to use."
  • "It is easy to set time, alarm."

Cons:

  • "I did not read the instructions. I just plugged the clock in and decided to wing it. That was a big mistake on my part."
  • "The snooze button is right next to the button that turns the snooze OFF."
  • "To manufacture: Include a way to reverse digits on ceilings and redesign buttons to space them out more."
  • "The only thing that bothers me is the light from the projection itself is TOO bright!"
  • "The problem is that when the alarm goes off, the noise machine goes off too."
  • "But this one is cheaply made, feels like it is going to break or fall apart when I try to use the buttons on it."
  • "Dissapointed with the difficulty in using the buttons, and the usually complicated operations to use it."

Display & Projection

Pros:

  • "The clock display is bright enough to use as night light, and with the time displayed on ceiling too I can have the clock not facing me since display is so bright."
  • "All functions work great. Well worth the money."
  • "The clock ceiling light is awesome."
  • "On the dimmest setting, it lights up the entire bedroom."
  • "The laser light points at the ceiling in a calming color so you aren’t blinded by the light and the clock can be turned off at night to only show the ceiling time."
  • "The projection is easier to read for me because it projects in blue thicker numbers.. you can also adjust the focus."
  • "I love the projection time. Projection is large and clear."

Cons:

  • "I like everything about this except the very bright blue light the time projection puts out."
  • "Even at the lowest setting, I felt like I had a fog light blaring at me all night."
  • "The display on the clock was also too bright even at its dimmest setting."
  • "The projection is like a spotlight on the ceiling and can't be dimmed."
  • "Both the projected display and the display on the face on the lowest settings were way too bright."
  • "The only thing I don’t like is you can’t adjust the projection to where it’s either dimmer or shines in a different color so it’s not so bright."
  • "The time projection is a bright white light that cannot be dimmed."

Additional Features

Pros:

  • "It’s compact for small places, contemporary, and a nice choice of sounds."
  • "Our first one is still working after 2 years!"
  • "The radio works very well so that we have channels that actually come in to use as an alarm."
  • "I definitely recommend this!"
  • "I love love that you can completely turn off the illuminated clock face."
  • "Not sure if the company knew they were making a mom’s life easier with this alarm clock, but I sure appreciate it!"
  • "This clock radio is great--FM sound is good as are the nature sounds/white noise."

Cons:

  • "For some reason the radio turns itself on and the nature sounds goes off."
  • "The radio doesn't grab the signal of a classical or other instrumental radio station and I would only choose to wake up to instrumental music, so I don't use the radio either."
  • "This thing is possessed. It keeps resetting and turns off."
  • "However, with regards to the projection, you can not switch the orientation, so the kids see the numbers upside down if projected onto the ceiling."
  • "Horribly disappointed. The product only worked for one night."
  • "We’ve purchased this item two different times, and each one of the unit’s screen has gone blank after SHOCKING our son."
  • "The radio doesn't have the best signal for me."
