    Great smart clock. Got it for a replacement for an "old" alarm clock and it did that well with so many other advantages since it uses Google Assistant.

    Like a HomePod Mini but cheaper

    I'm blown away by hose great this works. The audio is clear & full and reminds me of a HomePod Mini's sound set at 25% (this is pretty loud) when the Essential is set around 80-100%. The entire clock can be operated using Google voice commands, which while annoying, actually makes it easier to use. If you turn on Night Mode for this clock through the Google Home App you can have the display automatically dim itself to the point that the time isn't even showing or bright enough to disturb someone sleeping. Definitely worth getting when it's below $30.

    Missing features almost ruin a great alarm clock

    I love the premise of this clock. Take a traditional alarm clock, add a smart speaker, and make it display the current outdoor temperature. You don't REALLY need a full-color touchscreen display as a bedside alarm clock, so I like that this more traditional alarm clock design exists as an option. However, there are three critical areas where the device miserably fails as an alarm clock: 1. No backup battery; if your power goes out overnight, the device will not be able to play the alarm to wake you up. 2. No way to dismiss upcoming alarms. You either have to wait for it to go off first, or completely delete the alarm. You can't just temporarily disable it either. It's either set and active, or deleted, no other options. For a "smart" clock, that's not very smart... 3. No way to change the alarm sound. You can ask it to set a "media alarm" (by voice only, as far as I can tell), which will play a music album of your choice from a connected streaming service, but there's only one basic alarm sound. I suppose this is how it works with any other basic alarm clock, but it's disappointing that there aren't additional options on a more sophisticated device like this one. If you're OK with these drawbacks, then I think this is a pretty good product for the money. I just really wish there were better options for setting and managing alarms.
