Lenovo - Smart Clock Essential 4" Smart Display with Google Assistant - Soft Touch Gray

This is a fantastic smart alarm clock featuring the incredible Google Assistant at an unbelievable price. Some wonderful features include the night light on the back (just hold the volume down button to turn it on or off or say “Hey Google turn on/off the night light”), the temperature and weather displayed on the backlit (non-touch) screen, the beautiful woven cloth design, and of course the wonderful Google Assistant, whose voice can be changed in the easy to use Google Home app, where you can control all your Google home compatible devices. Easy to set up and no reason not to buy! Pair it with a Logitech Harmony Hub, or Harmony Home Hub, and control your entertainment devices, and other Harmony compatible devices.

So we got this digital clock here at Best Buy. And we got it on a great deal —- 2 new at $40! Can you believe that? More than anything, here’s what we like about this baby: - it’s a digital clock (the characters are big enough for us to see the time in the living room all the way from the kitchen.) - it’s easy to various commands such as set alarms, reminders, turning on the tv with Roku, poying music on spotify, etc. (just pair it with Google Home Assistant). - we play music simultaneously or at the same time in both clock upstairs and downstairs. - we can control this through various devices we have at home. - the speaker is good enough for the background (although it is not be as good as Bose or JBL’s bass). - the dim light feature is also a plus at night while playing lullabies We haven’t tried charging devices through the USB feature. All-in-all, this device is worth it for the deal we got, so I definitely recommend!

I’ve had my clock for a few years now and it has been my life saver lol I love this alarm clock. I’ve never had one issue with my clock, even through power outages, it comes right back on and stays programmed

This is a great little device and I love it. It wakes me in the morning and all I have to do is speak to it in order for the alarm to turn off. It’s convenient when I’m laying in bed and want to know the weather, the score of last nights Bruins game or current news. The built in night light really helps at night too. I visited a friend in Las Vegas who had it, and when I returned home I purchased it for myself. Great device, great gift, at a great price. Highly recommend

Very nice piece adding to our living room. The display is bright but it automatically dims when the lights are low. Love it!

After we ditched cable, my mom was looking for a small digital clock for the kitchen to replace the one from the DVR. This is just the right size! I love how bright the display is and how it dims at night. Its just a clock, so I don't know why, but I think it looks kinda cute and friendly! Also lenovo owns IBM who basically started the computer industry, meaning this clock is over engineered and has some history behind it, which is cool and funny. Overall, a nice piece of kit that welcomes you when you enter the room!

OK it took me nearly 2 weeks to figure out why a smart clock wouldn't set an voice command alarm. It's a Google bug, not the product's fault. Here's how I fixed it: 1) check your location by saying "hey Google what's my location" obviously middle of the Atlantic Ocean was not correct. 2) set new location address in your Google Home App, change the title from "Home" to let's say your neighborhood name. Mix up the address so things are slightly different but it's still your address. Ex: St. becomes Street, N. becomes North etc... 3) port over your previously added smart devices under the new location. Add them to the desired room in your new location. Don't worry all of your previous smart device preferences will port over. 4) make your new neighborhood title location your new home location. 5) Say "hey Google set at alarm for 9 AM." Worked like a charm. 6) delete original "Home" location. Note: to get back display auto brightness, do a hard reset on the clock (hold both volume down + alarm button) for 12 seconds, follow voice message. Never use a voice command to adjust the screen brightness again. Really hope Lenovo fixes this with a software update as the clock is still very bright in a dark room.

Yep it's just like the Google form of Alexa Echo. I really love that it displays the temperature and weather icons for fog, rain, cloudy and sunny. Also whenever I ask Alexa something she can't answer I repeat the question to my smart Google clock and it always has an answer, sometimes it has more than one answer and sends the info to my phone. The nightlight on the back gives it a very modern appeal and is voice activated, so convenient! I took pictures of it with the light on they are included with this review! Happy shopping!
