Returned because it was unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it for the main purpose of an alarm clock. Google kept getting my requests wrong n would not listen when I said to turn off. I returned it after the 2nd time the alarm clock failed to wake me up. I need something reliable. One of the times was the wifi wouldn't connect even though it was connected everywhere else. The 2nd time I have no idea why.

Cool clock
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the clock but at night time it gets really dim and hard to read. I couldn't find anyway to adjust that.

Posted .Hi there! If you are finding the auto-dimming function to be too dark, you can select the auto-dimming function by swiping up on the bottom of the clock. The far left icon represents the brightness. If you tap it until the "A" is gone, that will deselect the auto-brightness feature. You can adjust which brightness level you'd like from the screen, or set up brightness times within the Google Home app. If you ever have questions on your device, we've created an online How-To & Solutions Guide to offer support.
Alarm doesn't always work
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this smart clock for almost three months now. Truth is, I love the device. The problem is, the alarm doesn't always work. Since I bought this device for the purpose of being an alarm, it is basically useless now. I've checked on Lenovo forums and it seems to be a common problem. So if you are buying this to be your only alarm, I suggest you keep looking.

Would not reccomend if you use Apple Music
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clock feature is fine and answers lots of questions. My complaint is that it says Apple Music is supported but anytime you try to play a song, it just says, "sorry, something went wrong." Would like to have known that before we purchased it. Apple Music works on the Essential, but clearly not for the Smart Clock.

Very poor network support
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to use this as a clock radio. I bought it at a hyper-low sale price. It has decent audio and internet radio support. Setting up an alarm proved to be a chore but not so bad after doing it once. Unfortunately it was unable to maintain a network connection for longer than an hour or so. I returned it.

Perfect for a Nightstand
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased numerous smart home devices in recent years, all of them in the Google family. I like them all, but this little Lenovo is without question my favorite! I use it every day from the time I head to bed in the evening until I get out of bed in the morning. I can drift to sleep listening to the sounds of crickets or the surf or a quiet rain shower, thanks to my ability to ask Google to play whatever sounds I am in the mood for. Or of course I can skip music or sounds altogether. I have linked my Google photo gallery to the device, which allows me to see a different photo cycle onto the screen each minute. It’s nice to relive so many memories as I prepare to sleep, and to greet me when I wake up in the morning. The screen brightness and sound volume are both easy to adjust, and the I have no complaints whatsoever with either the sound quality or brightness levels of the screen. It’s more than adequate for a bedroom, and obviously not designed to replicate a concert hall. It’s also nice to learn the outdoor temperature and weather without having to get out of bed or lift a finger to check your phone or turn on a TV. The alarm is very easy to set up, and you can be awakened to your choice of sounds, which is a big plus. I am so very happy I bought this device.

Tedious
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this because I found the programming to be convoluted and not intuitive in the least. I quickly lost my patience and packed it up. The instructions were useless and I couldn't find any helpful info. online. I am used to Apple products that are super intuitive, so this was just plain tedious.
