Works with Alexa but doesn’t play well with other Alexa devices if you’re trying to set up a speaker group. Like the app but would like to wake up to music. Get it on sale.

The display and auto brightness is perfect. Unlike most assistants with screens it gets dim enough to not disturb my wife but bright enough to see in the day (with auto brightness on). For that plus daylight savings time adjustments plus easy to manage alarms it’s a win, but beyond that the face it gives when responding is cute too. Only downside is the mic kinda sucks compared to a real dot, but I don’t know how good of microphone I want in my bedroom anyway

Set your preferred alarm time using Alexa and this clock will never fail you from getting up early for work. This is a reliable and nice digital clock to utilize for basic time/date and questions answered capabilities through Alexa. The price was only $25 bucks not on sale, so it's a good value.

When I first plugged it in, this smart clock seemed good. I was going to use it for my bedroom, since I'd moved my Echo Plus to the kitchen. The problem was, it caused Alexa to be unable to answer general questions.
If I asked my Echo Plus what the temperature was, it would tell me "the temperature on your Lenovo Smart Clock is Farenheit." If I asked the smart clock to turn on or off the lights, it "couldn't find a group or device named Lights."
While it still worked if I specified the device to power on or off, I didn't get a voice assistant to have to be extremely verbose. Until these software issues are fixed, I can't recommend it.

Speaker was better with google capabilities. Wish i could have the option of which assistant i want to pair with. Your customer base would be much larger with compatibility to more than one assistant.

So far I am very happy. It has worked perfectly with voice commands. I don’t have to spend 20 minutes resetting the time. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I haven’t tried anything more than the alarm & play music yet, plus I wish it were a little bigger

The Lenovo Smart Clock has been an essential addition to my teen's routine with no interference with other Alexa and smart home devices already in the house.
Out of the box, I really like the small but sturdy footprint of the Lenovo Smart Clock. The clock face angle is perfect for bedside, but large enough to be seen across the room. In the box is the clock, power cord, and some basic instructions. Setup is simple, plug in the clock, open the Alexa app, go to device tab, and click "+". My Android device immediately identified the Lenovo smart clock and walked me through the quick set up process.
After initial connection, you can go into the Alexa app, select the Lenovo device, and make changes to the home screen of the alarm. Options are: brightness level, display of ambient noise meter or weather in bottom right hand below clock display, and the ability to move between 12 and 24 hour time. After setup is complete I can now use the Smart Clock to control any smart home device, such as lights and thermostat. I can also use the Smart Clock as an intercom with any of the connected Alexa devices throughout the house. My absolute favorite feature is the alarm. You can set a recurring weekday, weekend, or every day alarm. This allows my son to manage his different alarms and not have to remember to turn them on each day.
The clock performs great! The sound is strong, crisp at a low level such as playing music before bedtime, but loud enough to be heard in the next room. The clock responds to requests very quickly and the response volume matches the volume setting you have for the audio. When an Alexa request is made the clock screen changes to a face, making the clock more fun to interact with.
One of my initial concerns was the large number of Alexa devices and other smart home devices I already have in the house, and if there would be interference. I'm excited to report there has not been any issue with adding the Lenovo clock or integrating it with other smart home routines. My son has his Alexa device next to the Lenovo Smart Clock, however he has set two different wake works, and after a week of use, there has been zero interference or lack of expected responses from either device.
Overall, I highly recommend for an all in one speaker, Alexa device, and alarm clock!

Smaller than anticipated. It has to be set up in settings after connection to get features to work. Sometimes you have to repeat for Alex to hear.

I don’t know why the reviews on this product is low but i think people expect this product to be so good like Amazon show, google nest or something similar! This clock is perfect if you want to not spend over $100 but want a fast Responsive Alexa, clear time, outdoor weather temperature it’s not meant to be like the google nest where you can use maps and everything this is just a regular clock with Alexa which I find to be a perfect smart watch that doesn’t have to be a size of an iPad!
