Decent sound. Trying out paired speakers to improve the sound. It sometimes doesn't respond properly.

Absolutely LOVE this smart clock! It was a little difficult to get it set up, but once I did it’s been a fantastic purchase! We use the Alexa quite often at night to play sounds like ocean waves and thunderstorms to help fall asleep with. We use it during the day to listen to our favorite radio station, and use Alexa to ask the weather forecast and for news, plus my favorite sports team scores.

I love this alarm clock and it's features. I had been looking at purchasing it for awhile. I saw that it was on sale and decided to go ahead and order it. I love how I can plus my phone into the back to charge freeing up an outlet in my power strip. I love the color changing features as well as being able to tell Alexa to play Pandora! Really happy with this purchase.

Got this to replace an older alarm clock,I liked the features so I took a chance on it,looks good and it’s pretty sturdy and the charging port is useful. The setup didn’t go wel at first you have to make up an account on the IHS app and control your alarm settings thru another app,did all of that and the clock wouldn’t stop with the flashing lights but unplugged it and erased everything was about to return it but tried again and went good now everything works fine

We bought both daughters 1 for Christmas dec 2017 and they really liked them so my son wanted one to wake himself for school qnd for a night light. We purchased aug 2018, right after that my 1 daughters started acting up like shutting off alarm..then the other daughter stopped working so had to call to figure out how to fix. Also it doesnt have full alexa access like tell her to "call" someone in your contacts

Bought this to replace an aging Sony am_fm alarm clock. This Alexa alarm clock is wonder. Does everything it says it will do. I just say, Alexa set alarm for... and I wake up to whatever sound or music I like. Nice to also have Alexa bedside to answer any late questions. The USB built in charger for my phone is also as plus.

Product itself is good when you can get it started. For some reason had issues with connecting. Then when you set alarm time, the alarm time shown is not correct. However, the alarm goes off at the time you wanted. Has nothing to do with daylight savings time. Think it is just a defective product.

I think this unit does exactly what was advertised however beware that to use it you need to download the app....I am getting too many of these on my phone. I just wanted a simple radio/alarm clock. This was too fancy for my needs. The product itself seems fine and does everything it advertises

Bright, good quality sound, cranks in a bedroom. All great things once you get it connected and working. The setup process failed many times and it wasn't until we read a review to let it "keep failing" and then the app will offer a work around. The "work around" worked the first try... If it wasn't for the set up trouble this would be five stars.

I enjoy the big numbers and letters on clock. The colors are nice to lite the room. It plays our favorite music to wake us. When asked it tells us the weather. My husband loves his morning talk with it, quite humorous. I do wonder if someone is listening to us though...lol...

Alexa is always listening unless you press the mute button (smile).
