I was so impressed with my first one that I bought a second one for the guestroom. I use this every single day and night. This is the most useful clock radio I have ever owned. Set up is very easy. Every night I ask it to play a deep sleep music for an hour to help me fall asleep. I love my little Bluetooth clock.

Love this clock radio. Asking it questions like what’s the weather for today or tomorrow without having to check the weather station is amazing. The face of it very clear along with the present temperature. Nice!!

Dead pixel segment after a year

This is my favorite Google home alarm clock. I didn't want a flashy screen next to my bed but subtle time, date and temp display. The buttons on the top are easy to hit as well (play, volume, alarm). However, Lenovo has a manufacturing defect where some of the segments will stop working after a while. See picture. Hopefully Lenovo makes a 2.0 Google home alarm clock which fixes this

Tiny Clock with MEGA Capabilities
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is a Smart Clock with integrated Google Assistant. Measuring a tiny 4.5"W X 3"H at the front & it tapers down dramatically in the back. With it's Soft Touch Gray, it blends in & fits in virtually every room. See 6 photos I posted, showing the very attractive shape.
This Smart Clock offers the full power of the Google Assistant by simply saying: "Hey, Google". I use it to set wake-up alarms, turn lights on & off using various Smart Switches & Smart Bulbs throughout the house; it even plays music! I check to make sure I locked the doors & lock any that are unlocked. The small size of this powerful Smart Clock belies it's amazing capabilities.
One of my favorite features is displaying the outdoor temperature below the time. This is the default screen with which this Lenovo ships. I find it so useful, I am keeping that screen unchanged.
CONCLUSION: I have many places for this most useful tool: the Master Bedroom, the 2) Guest Bedrooms, any of 5 Bathrooms, even in my Home Office. There is no other device near this size that performs with the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential. I highly recommend it.

Good quality product for the price. However it doesn't have all the features as the Google speaker and sound quality is not good as the Google speaker as well. You have to connect with Google home app to configure the the device.

I absolutely love my Lenovo smart clock from last year so when I heard there was going to be another model the Lenovo smart clock essential, I wanted to get my hands on one. Overall its basically just a google assistant speaker with a display and alarm click functionality built in. This new model looks very pleasing from its black glossy display all the way to its fabric body.
First I'm going to compare it to last years model a because, well it serves the same purpose but at a cheaper price. The biggest differences between this model and last years model is this device is about a inch shorter but same width and depth. The screen is not a touch display and you cannot change the display to customize it. It also has a added alarm button that you can use to manually set alarms. Another new feature includes a night light on the back of the unit which is a great little added touch.
The display itself is very bright and really easy to read in bright lit and dark rooms. It does this by using light sensors and adjusting to room brightness which is really cool. It brightens up during the day and dims down at night. It includes three brightness settings so you can customize as needed. The display is back and white and actively displays the time, day of week, current weather, and alarm icon if an alarm is set. Basically everything you would need to know on a alarm clock.
As for setting a alarm you can use the alarm button on the top or just use your voice which is way easier. "Hey google set alarm for 7 am Monday through Friday" and its done. "Hey google cancel alarm" and its gone. When the alarm goes off you can smack the clock to snooze which is my favorite feature.
Since its a google assistant speaker you get all that assistant functionality which includes playing music from streaming services. The speakers are nothing to brag about but on a device this small but you wouldn't expect them to be great anyway. No better than most traditional radio clocks. Oh and it also includes a single usb port to charge your phone, smart watch, etc. As I mentioned above it has a night light built in that you can activate by button or voice. If you ever want to disable the assistant functionality there is a hardware switch on the back to disable the microphone.
Overall this is a great little clock for any room. If you looking for a smart clock thats easy to read with minimal features then this will serve you well. If you want a little bit more functionality with a slightly bigger display then go with last years model. Either way get one because they are great!

Quite good as a smart clock but google voice recognition on this clock is sub-par when compared to the other google devices, even the trusty old google home mini. I have to make an effort for it to recognize “hey google” every time.

I recently bought this clock just so that I can know the time in my spare room. But after getting this clock I realized it’s so useful the “hey google” feature is awesome. The clock does have Bluetooth and works with my Apple Music which made me happy.
