This clock radio is great; I can connect to Alexa and get lots of music and information. I don't have to worry about setting an alarm - Alexa does that for me. The sound is high quality and more than loud enough for a bedroom.

Invest in a regular Alexa echo instead

I bought this because I thought it would be an interest alarm clock. That's as much as you can say about it. It works as it should. The sound is good. But a regular Alexa device is a much better purchase that offers more functionality.

Nice Look and Feel But Unreliable

Solid feel and construction and interesting graphics but for me, the integrated Alexa digital assistant has had a very low reliability. The unit routinely has to be restarted before it will respond to a voice command or reliably provide a waking alarm.

I bought this product for my son. It took me longer than expected to set it up, but after watching a video on YouTube and after it was set up my kiddo listens to music and enjoys using Alexa. Also, having a clock makes him feel a bit more grown up.

This was a great buy! The colors are amazing at the bottom as they flash or can be turned off. The alarm clock is awesome! So convenient to just say Alexa, set alarm for 530am, and that's it. The alarm goes off with my favorite radio station!

This would have gotten 5 stars until my internet was down and i realized I couldn't set an alarm to wake up to!! I don't know if it would have went off if I had set the alarm before the internet went down!! Alexa is also a little slower then my Echo Dot at responding to questions and commands!! But overall very good!

This was one of the best things my husband got me for Christmas! The lights blink to the music and all other kinds of stuff! Will definitely be getting another one soon!! Much better than just a regular echo.

I needed a new alarm clock that had a USB port and this meets the requirement. I like that it has Alexa as well. I went back and forth between this unit and the Amazon Echo Show and because the Echo Show doesn't have a USB port, I decided on this one. A screen would have been nice though.

Not too shabby. Pretty simple set up and on top of that if you unplug it for whatever reason, once plugged back in all user presets are re loaded as if it never lost power in the first place. Loving that part the most. Lots of functions and Alexa, now I've got someone to talk to.

Got this for my wife for the bedroom. She uses this every day. You can just talk to Alexa to set a wake up alarm and also have Alexa start music. You can also control the volume. The sound is excellent.

LOVE THE 10.4 SCREEN SIZE PERFECT FOR USING AS A E-READER AND TO USE IT FOR MY AUDIBLE. , BOOK COLLECTION. WHEN YOU DO NOT WANT A BIG BULKY TABLET FOR THESE USES. I HAVE MOSTLY APPLE PRODUCTS. BUT I LIKE THE SAMSUNG PLATFORM BETTER SO I HAVE A NEW SAMSUNG PHONE AS WELL AS A IPHONE 11. I LIKE THAT BOTH BRANDS DEVICES PLAY WELL WITH EACHOTHER. ALTHOUGH APPLE WINS THAT BATTLE. CROSSING MY FINGERS THOUGH , BESTBUY WILL NOT ACCEPT A RETURN OR EXCHANGE ON THIS PRODUCT FOR SOME REASON.

It was a good purchase. Nothing special. But works with Alexa and will give you basic information, that was the most important thing to me. You are able to add other stuff that works with Alexa.

I bought this for our master bedroom and loved it so much that I bought another for our guest room. So easy to use. Just ask what time it is, ask to be woke up at a certain time. No problem
