Customers frequently mention the ease of use, sound quality, and alarm features as positive aspects of the Smart Clock with Google Assistant. Many also appreciate the Google Assistant integration, the clock's size, and its display. However, some users reported issues with maintaining a consistent WiFi connection. A lack of battery backup was another recurring negative comment.
i bought the Lenovo Smart Clock 8/17/2019 and so far it is working fairly well. It does most things I want and I looks pretty sharp on the nightstand. The alarm clock portion couldn't be better. However, I do have some problems with the "smarts of the speaker" and the hardware itself. 1. The software (smarts) - There is no continued conversation. After having this on all the other smart speakers and displays I really miss it. I have read forums and posts saying its coming so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. There is also no home view like you get with the Google Hub and Lenvovo displays. You also can't pair this with a Bluetooth speaker for better quality sound. 2 The hardware - The speaker in this clock is super anemic. You can crank it all the way up and its OK but I feel you shouldn't have to do that. My Google Mini speakers, though similar in size, put out way better sound. As an alarm clock you can make it loud enough to work and even when using the assistant its OK but it isn't designed of listening to music. Adding the ability to pair a Bluetooth speaker with it like all other Google Assistant devices allow, even the Google Home Hub does this, would elevate the problem. I bought this to replace Best Buy's own Insignia Portable smart clock speaker and if the ability to add a Bluetooth speaker isn't added I'll be moving the Insignia back to my nightstand. I'm keeping it though and will move it somewhere else, just wanted people buying it to know these things in advanced. My rating would be 5/5 if the software issues were corrected by either Lenovo or Google. This device could be great. I've tried reaching out to both but have gotten no reply from either.

I really love this little smart clock. I considered the Google Hub before purchasing this item. I'm happy I went my choice. If I wanted a camera or a larger screen, I would use my tablet. It's perfect on the night stand, not bright (it adjusts itself between night and day) and the volume settings are good. It has been updated for continued conversation on Google home and also to work as a digital frame for your Google photos. I also purchased smart bulbs and can control my lights with it thru Google home.

This thing is awesome, super easy to set an alarm but also so convenient. It tells me good morning and goes into the weather and the news automatically, a pretty nice way to wake up. Definitely won't regret it if you purchase it. Plays peaceful sounds when going to sleep do yourself a favor and upgrade your alarm clock
