instecho Sunrise Alarm Clock, Digital Clock, Wake Up Light with 6 Nature Sounds, FM Radio and Touch Control (White)

I absolutely love this alarm clock. As someone who gets up at different times depending on the day, it's very easy to change the alarm time. I frequently have to get up around 4:00 for work and since I've had it has been easier to wake up in the morning and to start my day. I also love the color changing lights. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in making a swap for their old alarm.

Overall, I love this alarm clock. But what brings it down in rating for me is the fact that it came only half working. The light doesn’t work... at all. So if you’re buying it for this reason, it likely isn’t the product for you. Simply because there’s a chance it won’t work at all. Also, when I press the night mode button (moon and stars) nothing happens. So, some of it doesn’t work.BUT! I don’t care about the light or the night mode button. So for what it is, I’m happy. It wakes me up and has some really pleasant alarm options. Easy to set up. I’m hard to awaken, haha, so it’s loud enough. Also the volume is adjustable. Batteries or plug it in. Overall, happy.

The concept is reasonable but do you want to stare into brilliant "sunlight" to turn off your alarm? The buttons are impossible to see in the piercing light and there is no way to feel them on the smooth surface so you have to guess and keep moving your fingers over the general area with the brightest light into your eyes to finally turn off the light and sound. Speaking of sound, they are worse than cheap sound effects supposedly that is some version of surf hitting the shore every 5 seconds (doesn't happen in nature) or, the pseudo "bird" noise that definitely no one on the planet has ever heard in their life. The sounds are so annoying you want to turn them off ASAP. It certainly wakes you up in alarm.

This alarm clock was amazing at the beginning. It started to fail and the first thing that happened was the sunrise mode wouldn’t shut off until I unplugged it. Next thing to go was most the buttons stopped functioning besides the alarm portion and time set. Finally as of today 7 months into it no buttons work, the alarm sounds only play a small portion and fade off. I could have just gotten a bad one, but it’s a huge bummer because I really enjoyed this in the beginning. Goal was to keep my cell phone away from the bed to help me get better sleep.

This alarm is working well for our toddler who struggles to get up in the morning. We use this alarm and a visual schedule to help our 4 year old who struggles with transitions.

I brought this clock so that I could detach from my cell phone. Especially in the mornings. One thing that I really like about the clock is that the soft white light begins to come on about half an hour before the alarm actually goes off. That has been extremely important. One thing that I do not like about it is how hard it is to find radio stations. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

It is an alarm clock and it will play some "nature sounds" as alarms. I was hoping that there was a way to listen to the sounds to sleep to. Overall a good product. The sunrise light feature is great and the AM/FM radio function works well.

Unit can be set light up before the alarm sounds. A little hard to figure out the buttons.
