    I like being able to listen to my favorite music without having to do anything other than ask Google to play it for me - plus having the alarm clock is a great bonus.

    Speaker quality is good. Google assistant knows when there are multiple devices listening but the clock is the one to respond. Only drawback is that it can not sent a text. It can make a call though.

    Product does everything as advertised. Ordered two of these on a flash sale. Word of warning: If you are using google home to set up this device, please check that google has your correct location in the home app settings. After many attempts to get the clock showing the correct time (factory resets, etc.) It was always an hour behind and the temperature was several degrees below for my location. Finally checked the settings and somehow my street address was correct, but the city, state and time zone were in a different time zone west of me. Once I corrected this, all is well and device works great!

    The clock is good. I like how it says the temperature and forecast. 4 stars because i wish the screen was a bit bigger because unless you are laying next to it, it can be hard to see.

    I received this clock for free when purchasing an Arlo doorbell. It's a great clock worth purchasing, especially if you have Google Home. The speaker on this is surprisingly good for playing music.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential. This device does not have a battery backup. In the event of a brief power outage your Smart Clock's repeating alarm data will remain intact. When the device powers back on your alarm will still sound. Lenovo

    The clock does the few things it is supposed to do well. I really just needed an alarm clock that played brown noise. It was easy to program it to do that with the Help Me Sleep app in Google Home.

    Not so Smart Smart Clock

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    With any smart device the word "smart" would convey ease of use (at least to me). But setting this up without an app or easy to use touch screen made this clock very difficult to use. There are better options out there some at the same price point more at a higher price point. However I would splurge and step up to something higher. This has potential but unfortunately being forced to use buttons with a very limited screen makes it difficult to get use to.

    The features alone make this an awesome alarm clock with Google Assistant; however, the Google part i has a problem with. I got two the two pack at a really low cost. Like two regular alarm clocks would have costed more. I pur one in the bedrrom and one in my bathroom. I previously had the Insignia alarm clocks with Google in them (they were discontinued, but were a great product). Anyway i gifted them to a friend, but i wanted something else. The night like was great for the bathroom and replaced one i had plugged in. The Bluetooth speaker worked well and if i needed it, theres a USB port to charge a phone. Here’s my issue: Google didnt pukcup my commands most of the time. If have to keep repeating “Hey Google” and even when it heard that, undersanding and completing the command didnt always work. I had these for maybe a week but the final straw: i told Google to set the temp in my apartment to 72 degrees (my other devices i didnt have to say “degrees” but with this one i have to. The AC was already on, but i was lowering the temp for the night (its summer in GA, so its hot). The next morning i go look at my Nest thermostat ans im going to turn the temp up and i see that the heat was set to 72. I never seaid heat and i was so upset. Fortunately the heat never actually kicked in, but this is ridiculous. I have a lenovo display in my kitchen that i LOVE. It hears everything and responds accordingly. These are not up to the same quality. So yes, feature wise these sound great. And maybe mine were duds, but i was fed up. I want devices to make my lofe easier not frustrate me.
