    I needed a clock in my living room and this one was on sale. I like that it displays the weather along with the time. I also like that it has a mechanical mute switch so I can choose whether or not it listens to me.

    I use it for a bedside alarm Works well & because it’s WiFi, it’s always accurate I know it does more, but at the price of a cheap alarm clock With WiFi with voice control, it’s a steal

    Great clock with Google Assistant. Just be aware that it might develop LCD issues later. LG replaced it for free though with warranty. Excellent warranty support.

    This is a good clock and a good price. The only thing that I don’t like is that the when you turn down the Volume on the music you turn off down the Volume of the alarm.

    It is well built, and displays all the relevant information you'd need at a glance. However, I had issues getting it to work. The Google Home assistant would often disconnect and prevent the clock from really being of any use other than to tell the time. As a nightstand clock, it is too bright for my taste. Luckily you are able to dim it with the Google Home app. Unluckily, as I mentioned, it only worked 25% of the time for me. I like the idea of a simple alarm clock with some smart functionality, but the execution left much to be desired.

During setup please select a different band *Either 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz when connecting to your WiFi Network.

    It's great once that you turn off the Google assistant. I personally use my Google assistant on my phone so it's very annoying when the clock turns on Google. But once that you turn it off it's great.

    Works well. I'm not a fan of the always on zero for the hour (07:10 instead of 7:10). Also the weather icon is ridiculously small. Still it's a great clock and smart speaker for the price.

    I'm not impressed with the speaker quality, though that wasn't the reason I purchased the clock. I purchased it because it was on sale and the clock in the guest room stopped working.

    Very handy and a good replacement to google nest. For the same value (discounted), you should go for this. If you are choosing between the quality of sound, it is minimal in regards to the difference.
