Using this product for couple of month. Amazing product, It works as expected. I bought this especially to listen music via bluetooth. It works fine (very rarely bluetooth disconnects once or two in last two month usage). I rarely used the color changing mode but it works fine till now. I will throw some light on few doubtful areas. 1. Bluetooth pairing is fast and safe. Safe means, during bluetooth pairing setup we have to confirm the pairing using button press hence no unknown device will be paired. 1.a At the same time, we don't have a clear option to flush/remove already registered bluetooth device(s) in the clock 1.b No cross connection till now 2. Sound quality is good 3. Multi purpose button but once understood the basics we can do the rest. Quite tough for some users. Cons: 1. Radio wire is not protected properly 2. Device requires power all the time to show the clock in the device (Not portable or carrying). 2.a Battery is used to tick the clock internally, store some settings and to ring Alarm. 2.b Even the device is not powered don't assume it won't trigger Alarm, still Alarm will function properly. 3. No backlight for buttons. This is really required atleast when we try to stop Alarm. We have to search for the button to stop the Alarm (If you find the button, you will really woke up ;-))

Had this device for about 6 years now. It's perfect as a room clock, a radio, and a color changing light, but not an alarm clock that suites my needs. The device only allows for 2 alarms, either to repeat for weekday, weekends, or ever day. Unfortunately I need wakeup alarms for different times at different days, so I've been sticking to my phone alarms for the past 5 years. It's great that you can add any combo of alarm volume, lights, and sounds to each alarm, but as the yeas passed, I tend to stick with the basic alarm at half volume because it's stupidly loud. The device's internal battery died long ago, and without it plugged in, it won't work. The brightness of the clock has also started to fade in the past few years (when my room is lit up on a sunny day, the digital clock is barely visible). Some of the rgb light modes also started to have issues in the past 2-3 years as they'll stay a solid color & don't change. It's a pretty solid, the changing of the time is relatively fast (for daylight savings hours); the radio has all the usual channels, unfortunately it doesn't have am; I like that it has an extra usb port so I can charge my phone through it; the speaker is decent. Otherwise, I would like to have the battery be rechargeable (as it's plugged in), & to have the multiple rgb light modes be dimmable.

I love this clock as a nightlight and as a speaker for my tv

It’s a great little ambiance light, you can change how bright it is and the colors too. The brightest setting isn’t too bright so it’s great if you want some light at night. I like that it also doubles as an alarm clock and speaker. I had one as a gift about 10 years ago but it broke about 3 years ago and just recently got this replacement. I’m very happy with it. It’s not that heavy and easy to use.

I am an excellent reviewer because I don't place a review until I have used the product for at least 6 months. This gives buyers a realistic review of what to expect with any product. I bought two of these units for my two children 9 months ago. One unit just does not work. I kept shutting the alarm off, but it goes back on and rings at 6am in the morning, every morning. I unplugged the cord one month ago and the lights are off and there appears to be no power to the unit, but the alarm still beeps at 6am every morning. That means it must have a great battery life because the alarm cannot go off without power for over 1 month! I don't get it and I don't know what to do with that unit that does not work. This unit is sitting in my son's closet on the floor and he is back to using his iphone for music, clock and alarm. The other unit does work. The clock keeps time and the colors are soothing, but my daughter does not use it for an alarm clock because she said it was too complicated to set the alarm, change it for different days and turn it off on the weekend. I told her she must be crazy, so I tried to change alarm times and turn on and off without reading the manual. I could not do it without reading the manual and I consider myself a technology guy. The speaker on both units are very low quality and not as good as the speakers on my kids' iphones, so they don't listen to music using the clock speakers. So my daughter also uses her iphone for music, clock and alarm. This clock radio has poor sound quality, not terrible or fuzzy, just not as good as any late cell phone's external speakers. The durability is poor. And it is not easy to use at all. It definitely was not worth buying these clocks.

Update - after writing the glowing review below, I opened the battery case in the bottom as the low battery signal had started blinking on the display. There is a lithium disk battery included to save display info during a power loss - this one was quite corroded, as was the contact point in the device. Getting a replacement clock but still a drag. ***** Had been looking for a replacement for an otherwise perfectly decent Electrohome clock radio with bad audio and increasingly bad FM reception. In spite of blue tooth and streaming gadgets galore, I still use a good old clock radio on my bedside table and listen to FM radio both morning and evening. This ihome radio out of the box had terrific sound and excellent FM signal compared to 3 other clock radios I had tested in that spot. The device is easy to set up and program and the glowing color display is fun (although too bright to leave on for sleep). In addition to the 5 different brightness settings for the display, it has alternate alarm sounds: birds, water, etc for your wake up signal, or you can use your own tunes from your attached phone. A great product, nicely designed.

Exactly what I needed. I have cats that were always stepping on the snooze and off buttons on regular alarm clockradios, so I needed something different. This fits the bill perfectly, and gave me more than expected. First, the color-changing option is a really neat, fun feature, in itself, and because you can easily adjust the brightness at any time it’s also a great nightlight which can then be brightened during the day. But what I really like, but didn’t expect, was the gradient sound for the radio alarm; it starts off lower and then increases so you don’t get startled out of sleep. So no matter where you are in your ‘sleep cycle’ you will awaken feeling better than with a regular full-blast alarm. It has a USB so I can charge my cell off it without needing another plug, and doesn't have a large footprint on my nightstand. The snooze buttons are in front of the other buttons and have tactile bumps so they’re easy to distinguish, and the stations come in clearly. Overall, I am very pleased and feel it’s worth the price.
