So Thankful This Exists!
I ordered this because I was originally looking for a clock for my room without blue or green lights (which means red or white), which I could also turn off. Mission accomplished.I stumbled across all kinds of wake lights while looking at clocks. Of the 15 or so I looked at, this was the simplest and most straightforward, and alsoPros1) That there are 3 light settings are awesome--I tend to only use the lowest because of my light sensitivity. In the dark, the medium and high settings are BRIGHT. Which is probably great for everyone.2) I use this in the evening as my meditation light. Scent-sensitive folks or folks who can't have candles where you are--this is a great alternative).3) I saw a lot of reviewers from a couple of years ago mentioned they can't see the buttons in the middle of the night because they're on the bottom, so I was prepared for that to seem annoying. So this prepared me to knew to figure out which buttons I needed, and where by feel where they're located. The clock button is on the far left, the alarm button on the far right.4) I love this thing so much and have it on so often--sometimes for hours. I'll be curious for the folks who said their light stopped working at the 2 year mark if that's part of the issue. A "wake light" that I also have on for several hours in the evening is going to burn out sooner...5) I can power down my cell (my previous alarm) at night, and not have to have lights on from a clock to have an alarm go off. This is also where I would mention that I appreciate that it doesn't have Bluetooth or Wifi features. I power down all major electronics at night so I'm resting from electronic energy and noise as much as possible. So I choose it for it's simplicity in that way.6) I like the variety of wake sounds (there are 5), which remind me of my meditation app. As a music lover, sound quality matters to me a lot. It's not Harmon Kardon, but it's pretty decent. I expected it to sound tinny, and it's like a basically decent radio without surround sound.Cons1) The wake light settings are not as subtle or gradual as they could be for a gentle wake up. I have woken up several times before it came on, and watched the light "jump" significantly. To be honest, I think I only see about 3 light settings, which are likely the ones that already exist with the tap feature.2) This would also explain why I felt somewhat startled awake several times when I first started using it. Appreciated that it DOES help me wake up, but not as gentle as I would like.3) The wake sounds can be extremely loud. I have mine on the lowest setting, and a couple of times they are VERY loud. I also just realized that I don't know for folks who don't want any sound if you have to have them or can turn them off entirely...Overall, I really love and appreciate this thing. It's still up to me to get out of bed...lol. But I would 95% say this has be incredibly helpful for my morning ritual and helping me get out of bed, especially in the darker winter mornings. A soft glow over a bright light when I'm waking up and journaling is just so much warmer and cozier. I love it!

So far so goo
I'm super hesitant buying things like this from Amazon because of the prevalence of fake reviews. I compared a lot of products in this category and ultimately went with this one. Don't need an app, don't need to connect this to your wifi router - it's a plug-in-the-wall device. The plug is a basic cable and mine is not loose at all. The manual is fine for this, and the online instructional video is also helpful (and ultimately what sold me on this.)I love the shape. I love the light settings. It's not too bright for me in the morning. I love that I can change the color of the mood light and freeze the shade I like. I love that I can dim the clock display, or turn it off entirely. I like the sounds and the choice of sounds. I like that you can adjust sound volume, or turn it off entirely. The snooze works great. I would have liked multiple alarm settings, but for this price point, I'm fine with changing the alarm if I need to. I would have liked this to have a backup battery in the event of a power outage, but I have a backup alarm for that. The base of this is sturdy and not slippery. For me, I actually like that the clock buttons are on the bottom of this: I have a 4-year old at home and he would push all the buttons if they were anywhere but on the bottom - so again - for me this is perfect. I've had it for a few days, and so far it works as intended. If this keeps working for the long haul, I'd say this product is a winner.

The light button stopped working.
Overall, I like the alarm clock. It's easy to use and effective. I do not like that there is limit to how many times you can hit the snooze button. After hitting it a few times, the alarm simply does not go off anymore after that. My main problem though is that I have had the clock for just over a year now and the light bottom on top stopped working altogether.

Not bad
I purchased this to replace a Philips Smartsleep light. I chose it because the Philips light was round and top-heavy, so my cats would knock it to the floor regularly, which eventually killed it. This light is much more stable and has not been knocked over once. It lights up nicely and I have no complaints there.My issue is with the user interface. Most of the controls, including turning the alarm on/off, are located on the bottom of the unit. The power is provided by a USB cable, which can come lose when you pick the unit up. When it loses power it resets the display settings (though it keeps time and alarm settings). In addition, the contact on top does different things depending on whether you tap it or rotate your finger.It's not a bad device - I'm pretty happy with mine. but the controls could definitely use some work.

Great wake up light
This is a great little wake up light. The slim tower design is much nicer than the bulky phillips lights that I contemplated. Very happy overall and great value for money. Couple things I don't like as much listed below, but overall I would purchase this again as I think it's the best fit for me in terms of design and function.- Light is a cooler white, not a warm white as depicted. Not a big deal but warmer white would be nice in the winter.- For having the rainbow led feature, would have been awesome if it did a sunrise simulation.- Power brick that comes with the device is bulky--not much different than your average phone charger, but since many people will be plugging this in behind their bed or nightstand, having something slimmer would have been a nice touch. On the other hand, I do like that it's a USB connection so you can just pull the plug from the light on the weekend, without having to dig behind furniture.

さわやかに起きられる
スマホの目覚ましではなかなか気分よく起きられないので、買ってみました。使用してみた感じ、朝はとにかく爽やかな気分で起きられます。目覚ましの音が5種類ありますが、私は1番目の鳥の鳴き声が気に入りました。寝ぼけながら「鳥が鳴いてる…朝だなぁ」と思いながら起きられるので、憂鬱な朝の気分になりませんでした。色とりどりの間接照明になるのも面白いなと思いました。基本的にコンセント式なのと、説明書を読まないと使い方が分かりづらかったのが、少しネックかもしれません。充電式とか、乾電池式だとコードが邪魔にならなかったかなと。使い方に関しては、朝起きるのが早い母に貸したところ、使用説明はしたのですが、1回での止め方や時刻表示の消し方が分からない(分かりづらい)と言われました。目覚ましの音は気に入ったようです。時刻表示は言われてから気づきましたが、下側(設置面)にあるので寝ながら消そうと思うと難しいので片手で操作できる場所にあれば良かったなと思いました。色々書きましたが、総合的には買ってよかったです。自然に起きられて、朝の嫌な気分にならないのがすごく良いです。音も5段階あるので飽きたら変えられますし、朝起きるのが憂鬱だって人におすすめできます。

ストレス無く起きられる!夜間にちょうど良い明るさの時計表示もよい!
3日間使用してのレビューですが、アラームセットの30分くらい前から光と音とが徐々にセットされていきます。自分は小鳥のさえずり音でセットしましたが、10分前くらいで起きれています。今のところストレスを感じずに起きれているので、これから明るくなるのが遅くなる冬には大きく効果が期待できそうな気がします。部屋を暗くしてもそんなに存在感なく時計を確認できるのも良く、よい買い物ができました。

起きれない!!!
光で朝起きれるとのふれこみですが、どうも光が点灯し始めると逆向きに寝返りをして寝ている。こんなはずではなかった。
