    Excellent bedside companion! I am old school in a new kind of way, use to have the old 1990's bedside clock radio, with a google smart speaker and a phone charger, can you say clutter! Now smart clock and just a phone charger which plugs into the clock via USB ! Awesome BABY!

    Time, temperature and weather all in one convenient device. And with Google power you can also find out anything else you want to know. The brightness is adjustable and the volume can be set to two different levels so Google doesn't wake the household at night.

I love it and definitely recommend it to everyone

    I purchased this to have the time displayed in the bedroom at night. I took my Google speaker out so I dint have 2 in the same room. Well, when you ask Google to do something, she ignores you and the one downstairs or in the other room will answer.

    For a bedside clock, I just think the LED (is it?) display is better than similar sized and purposed smart displays using LCD screens to display the time and any other information you want because this clock's display is way easier to see, especially at night or when waking up.

    The Lenovo Smart Clock is a great clock for a bedroom, easy to set up and use. I would like the display to be able to dim, it’s a bit bright for a bedside clock(a prior model of this smart clock had a dimmable display)

    Worthwhile Upgrade From the Basic Google Home

    I purchased this clock to replace my basic Google Home Mini because I wanted something that easily displayed the time. Besides serving the main purpose that I bought it for (time display), this clock actually plays music at a better volume and responds to voice commands more quickly.

    My first non google Google Assistant. If you're use to how great the google home mini listen and response you WILL be frustrated with this Lenovo. I have 3 Google Minis, 1 Google Display, a chrome cast and a chrome audio...this clock is a joke compared to any of those. I have to repeat commands multiple times, It will light like it hears and then just go silent. I have a mini in the hallway down from bedroom and it hears me more often then the clock. I say its durably I have pulled it (its pulled into an extension cord) to the ground 4 or 5 times and no damage to screen.

    Functions great with Google Assistant. Manual controls are reachable and the USB port is helpful for extra charging. The screen can dim out sometimes on the numbers but not enough to drop its value.

    Over time, the numbers on the clock was unreadable. However, everything else was in perfect working order. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this clock is because you can not read the time on the display after several months of use.

    I needed a smart alarm without any distractions for my kids bedroom. This is almost the device I desired however, the alarm works only if it's connected to the internet. One unfortunate day is the internet is down, this product may need the whole day.

    great little smart clock. when it's on sale it's a better deal than your typical google mini speaker, although the sound quality isn't as good. it's got a night light but i rarely use it since it's in the home office and not by the bedside; but the weather/temp indicators are very nice

    Great for free (Best Buy promo)! The speaker is good for it's very small size. But I don't think I would buy this - you have to repeatedly and loudly give it instructions. It's not very smart (or it just has poor "hearing").

    I’ve actually had this clock for a while. I have it connected to smart bulbs on my lamps, set timers for lights as well as using the clock for radio/music. Basic device, but I got it just to have an alarm clock, yet I’m really enjoying the other features.

    Got this in a sweet deal with four wifi LED light bulbs! The lights are controlled by Google Assistant. They speak isn't much but with this small size I didn't expect it to be. I got the bundle of the Smart Clock and the four bulbs for $29.99. Great function for the price.
