    This was purchased on a whim while it was on sale, but it has been a pleasant surprise. I like that the display is pretty simple and classic, with the weather as a nice touch. The device itself, happily, doesn't haven't an obnoxious appearance. The speaker is nothing special, but it does the job, and I don't need premium quality sound for a few songs or the news in the morning. Overall, a great little device

    The Lenovo Smart Clock is a great replacement for the outdated am/fm radio. I love that I can stream music through Pandora. The USB a port on the back is a nice addition. I use it to charge up my phone. Setting up the clock is straight forward. I was streaming music in about ~15-20 minutes. Google voice assistant is good enough. I find that I will have to repeat myself about 10-15% of the time.

    This came to me as a "freebie" with another ordered item, but I've definitely decided I like it. I can play music on my phone, cast that music through my Google Chromecast, and hear it very nicely on this Lenovo desk clock. Good volume control, good sound quality. I'd buy one for my wife's office but she REALLY doesn't want another electronic thing in this house that she thinks would be listening to her all the time! :-)

    I bought this for my family room. I needed an illuminated clock I could see from the small table adjacent to the kitchen. Its numerals are large and clear and there are many bonuses. It gives the temperature outside and responds to questions like "what is on my schedule tomorrow?" All you have to do is say "Hey Google" and wait a very short time to ask the question.

    Functions amazingly as a clock. Shows weather, dims depending on the brightness of the room, and has a night light. As a speaker, its underwhelming. Very empty sounding. Not that i expected more, but it's not great nonetheless. If you're wanting to use this as a speaker, i would go for something else.

    We finally got rid of our old alarm clock and upgraded to this clock. It also allows us to say “hey google” and ask questions or play music in the bedroom. We can ask google to change the temp on the nest thermostat etc. The display also shows the temperature outside and if the lights go out it automatically syncs to the correct time when they go back on (unlike our old basic alarm clock which we had to reprogram when the lights would go out).

    Bought this on sale for a good discount. Coming from the Best Buy insignia brand smart speaker with clock, this smart clock is aesthetically more like a conventional alarm clock. It also has a nifty nightlight that can be voice activated. One minor gripe would is there is no way to adjust the display brightness via buttons - you have to use Google voice command and it can be finicky. A workaround is to use night-mode for it in Google Home.

    Fantastic alternative to the usual smart devices that are being sold. This smart clock gives you access to the most important things of your day, the time and weather, nothing else. The google assistant gives you access to anything else you might need or think. Contrast that with something like the Amazon echoes that have way too much info on them. If you're looking for a great basic smart clock, you've found it!

    Poor sound quality but excellent as a Digital Assi

    I have both versions of this device. As a Digital Assistant they work very well but when you want to listen to music the sound is very cheap an uninspiring. For the price, you get an excellent assistant but you get a very mediocre sound/music quality. You gain some and lose some - you get what you paid for. I too have the Insignia Assistant and that one has a very good sounding speaker as a comparison.

      Hi! Thanks for choosing the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential. We are pleased to hear the features, design, and performance of the Smart Clock Essential is working out so well for you. You can fine tune the audio by opening the device in the Google Home App and selecting the three bars at the top of the menu. This will allow you to adjust the Bass and treble of the speaker. The speaker is also cast enabled so you can pair it when your favorite cast enabled smart speaker/s for full room, or whole home audio. Lenovo
