Hatch - Restore Sound Machine, Smart Light and Sleep Sounds - White

Having used a Philips sunrise alarm clock for about 5 years prior to purchasing this, I already knew I wanted another sunrise alarm clock when mine stopped working. This alarm clock appears well made and is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than those made by Philips. My only two complaints are: 1. The Brightness. The Philips clock was very bright compared to this. I am a light sleeper, so this light is still enough to wake me up, but it isn't nearly as bright and the colors aren't as 'defined.' They tend to be more diffused. 2. The reliance on a mobile application. While this wasn't a surprise to me (I read other reviews prior to purchasing), this is still a drawback. There just isn't a great degree of control using only the controls on the clock itself. That said, the app worked well for me, and it gives plenty of options for configuration.

This device is easy to set-up with a smartphone and easy to program. You can choose from a number of color and sound configurations, including meditations, songs, and noises like fans. The library also includes sounds from the outdoors and nature, which really appeal to my cat.

I wasn't sold on this product the first few days since it kept telling me that it wouldn't be able to turn itself on in the morning after I adjusted the settings at bed time. Eventually I got my morning routine dialed in, and now it is definitely helping me wake up and get my booty out of bed much more quickly. I keep it across the room and mostly only use it for helping me in the morning since I wake up when it's pretty dark outside. I don't use any of the sound features because they sound pretty muffled and bad. I also was not about to pay for a premium membership subscription because why would I? This subscription-to-use-a-product-I-bought madness has got to stop. Overall a solid purchase, though the price is absolutely batty.

In general we have been very happy with this product. It has helped us with starting a more consistent nightime routine. For the cost I feel like more of their meditation and sound options should be included at no cost. I also feel that the transition between modes should be smoother. It can be a bit jaring when the device transitions between sounds quickly (opposite of the relaxing state it is suppoed to be creating).

This is the perfect product for any college student! The reading light helps give me time to unwind before bed. The sound machine helps me fall asleep and stay asleep, and the sunrise alarm is the perfect start to any morning. I literally cannot go to bed without this. This product also looks and fits perfectly on any night stand!

I would give this 5 stars if you didn't have to pay for an annual membership to use the app to access all its features. But it works Great! The product is worth the value to have a great nights sleep. My apartment complex is noisy at all hours. This helps block out the noise and my husbands snoring.

Works as advertised. The light offered from this device is bright enough to light up the whole room. The speakers can get fairly loud. So even if the light alone doesn’t wake you up, if you add some type of audio to your alarm then you’ll be up for sure.

Works as advertised, this is my 2nd one for another room in the house. Like the flexibility it provides on setups. I don't subscribe to the membership.
