Feature-packed, one of a kind
UPDATE August 26, 2018---------------------------------------Updating this to 5 stars because the Sunrise feature now works as expected after a reply from the seller, giving more detailed instructions.ORIGINAL REVIEW--------------------------------------I used to have two different clocks in my bedroom: One was a sunrise clock, because I can't stand being startled awake by a sound / buzzer / radioThe other was a projection clock, so that I can easily have the time projected onto my ceiling.For a while now, I've wanted to consolidate those two features into one single clock,and I couldn't find any product to do it, until this amazing device showed up.The instructions are decent, and easy enough to follow, setup mostly requires pressing a specific button, and then selecting the approprite time, or level using the knob on the right, and then pressing a button to confirm and move to the next option.There are also a couple of nice and unexpected touches included here that my other clocks didn't have, such as choice of color for the light, and setting specific automatic on and off times for the projector -- that is really nice for those times that i would forget to turn the projector on before hopping into bed, or forgetting to turn it off in the morning.One thing to note... I have not yet found a way to have the sun light graadually increase in the morning as it mentions in the description.**((** no longer true, see update above))When my alarm goes off, the light simply comes on full-blast. Either mine is malfunctioning, or I did something wrong during the setup.Just be aware of that -- otherwise, this is a great clock, that is half the size of my other two, but twice as feature-rich.The speaker is loud, and reasonably good quality. I have used it as a Bluetooth speaker a few times, and the music comes through clearly, not too tinny, as cheaper speakers tend to be. Unless you are a real audiophile, you won't mind hearing your favorite songs being played on this thing... just don't expect a lot of bass from it.The unit is powered by a standard USB charger as you would find for most lower-end cellphones. I find this to be a good thing, as the cord can be easily replaced if damaged.It took about 35 minutes to fully charge the internal battery when I first plugged it in.One thing to note here: the internal battery is NOT removable or replaceable from what I can see. It does not use A/B/C/D or coin batteries... so once it's dead, it's really dead. Just keep that in mind.

Great alarm clock and company
First off, this company is fantastic. I emailed them to ask if the sunrise simulator could be adjusted. It was too bright for me. It woke me up before my alarm clock would go off. When I emailed them, they were very friendly, helpful and prompt with a response. They designed an upgrade for my alarm clock. They custoizmed the sunrise light simultor for me. Now the light comes on more gradually with less intensity so I don't wake up before my alarm goes off. They sent me instructions along with a video on how to do the upgrade. I was easy to do and worked perfectly. They are truly concerned about their customers and their product. About the clock itself, it is well designed, easy to operate and very attractive. It is packed with so many features that the brands don't have. I was looking specifically for a sunrise simulating alarm clock in the hopes that I would wake up more refreshed. It works. The light comes on 30 minutes before the alarm is set to go off. Over those 30 minutes the light gradually increases in intensity. Again, the light was a little bright for me but I am sensitive to light and my upgrade fixed that problem. I am waking up more refreshed then I did with a traditional alarm clock. It gives you 4 different sound options to wake up to so you don't have to listen to normal beep, beep. It also has a second alarm and 4 different repeating alarms. You can have it set for a single wake up or you can have it repeat either everyday, Mon-Sat, Mon-Fri or Sat-Sun. Both the second alarm and the repeating alarm are great on the weekend. You can leave the alarm on constantly without have to worrying about remembering to turn it on and off. One of my favorite features is that I can turn off the clock display. Most displays are too bright for me. Instead of turning on the display, I turn on the clock projection which can also be dimmed on the back of the clock. It can be adjusted anywhere from the ceiling to the wall. It produces a nice soft red light so if I wake up in the middle of the night I can easily check the time. The timer is also a very nice feature. I like to listen to music as I go to sleep. The timer makes it so much easier, I don't have to worry about turning it off. The timer works with the 3 preset melodies, the Bluetooth and the fm radio. The night light is nice especially if you need to get up the middle of the night. It is easy to get to and you can control the light intensity. The sunset feature would be very useful for kids. You can set a time when you want the light to turn on. Over 30 minutes the light gradually decreases in intensity until it shuts off. I have tried all the features on the clock and they work perfectly. The bluetooth was easy to connect with good sound quality. You can easily control your music directly from the alarm clock. I was able to get the fm radio to pick up stations.Once you have scanned it holds the stations so you can flip back and forth through them. The wave snooze feature worked well. Just wave your hand over the clock and it goes into snooze mode. You can also adjust how long the snooze length last. There are 7 different mood lights. There is one setting that cycles through all the colors. You can set the mood light to flicker in time to the music. The clock is rechargeable making it portable but the battery life is a little short. I typically keep mine plugged in all the time so that is not a real issue for me. However, the one time I let the battery drain, it held all my setting. That was a definate plus, I didn't have to reset anything. There are also 2 usb ports on the back so you can charge your phone. The power cord is a little short but it uses the typical usb plug which are easy to come by. But I just saw under the questions and answers that they upgraded the length of the power cord to 3.3 ft. Overall, I am very impressed with this product and the company. I has so many features even ones I didn't even know I needed.

Feature packed alarm clock
I choose this alarm clock radio to use as a dual alarm. I also wanted to be able to plug in a USB with white noise MP3's on it to use with the sleep timer. Initially it seemed to have trouble locating the USB, but when I plugged the unit into an AC outlet it worked fine. You can completely turn off the display, good for people who don't like light in their rooms during sleep. Setting the clock and other features is accomplished by a series of short and long presses of various buttons and turning the control knob, don't lose the instructions. You can use any input (radio, USB, micro SD card) to use with the sleep timer. The light isn't super bright, but I was able to read a book with it on my bed stand. The reason I gave it only four stars: You can't wake up to the radio or other inputs, only the preset tones, would recommend adding this feature to future models. Additionally the woman who announces the selected options (radio, blue tooth, USB/TF) has a limited grasp of English. I found her charming, however.
