Customers are pleased with the AVS16 Smart Alarm Clock with Alexa for its integration with Alexa, sound quality, and easy setup. They find the alarm, display, and light features useful. However, some customers have concerns about its connectivity, lack of battery backup, limited functionality of the smart buttons, and price.
I have read the reviews on iHome AVS16 and did not want to believe what others were saying and looked in to it more and I have found since I have bought one myself that there is no issues with any of the features they have placed in to the Clock at all. It was very easy to set up just took a little getting used to just like with any other new tech out there. Once you understand it and get used to it, it becomes a breeze to use and connect to and from your devices. I have mine hooked in to my home network and I receive everything just as explained. I have my Amazon Alexa hooked in to it along with Pandora, Spotify, I Heart Radio and Amazon Music. I also had it grouped at one time but I was always getting up to turn off the music in the other room, made me laugh cause it got me out of bed of the morning no sleeping in. I am really impressed with the sound quality and how you can change all you settings right straight from the app you download on to your smart phone. The app walks you threw everything and then you can also go to the web from there to the support section and find anything you need to get you threw most issues you may run into. The weather portion on it is really accurate to the zip code you place in it, the display is big and easy to read. It has a usb connection on the back either for charging other items or connecting more to it I have not had the opportunity to use it yet but I know I will in the future. They have placed a lighting system in this Clock that is really great you can set it to the level you want and to the color of the mode you are in and also use it as a night light or turn it off altogether. The clock itself has a setting by using the app to have the clock dim down at night so you can sleep or just leave it on bright your choice. I am very happy with this Clock and all the features they have packed in to it. I would recommend this to any tech savvy person that want to upgrade to a great clock and sound system. Don't believe the bad reviews out there I will admit it is new and just like with any new tech it takes a little to get used too. Thumbs up on an awesome product.

Nice clock, Setting alarms verbally is a nice feature, since I go to work at a different times each day, make's resetting my alarm a breeze. Although it could use better instruction's on set-up. You will need a smart phone also WiFi service for this to work. A big con: No battery back up, so if you decide to unplug and move it or if the power goes out, you will have to go through set-up again, just a pain, also No auto clock adjustment for Daylight savings. But all in all I like the clock. Hope this helps.

Love this ihome Amazon alexa clock! Needed something with a good alarm and to wake me up. It does the job and so many other things it can do to. Ask alexa anything.
