Great bedside clock, although in reality there's lots of uses for the built in Alexa feature and this is anything but just a clock.
For my side of the bed I wanted a small, discreetly designed clock that was easily operated with a small digit display. I also wanted to listen to relaxation sounds to help me sleep, I knew I could do this with Alexa. Plus I needed an alarm that was easy to set, this fits my use perfectly. One stand out feature is the clock display automatically dims down when the main room lights are turned off, so it's dim but readable when your are trying to get to sleep, I hate bright clocks at night, they stop me sleeping, this doesn't effect the way I sleep.
I simply have to ask Alexa to wake me up at say, 7am tomorrow, she replies, alarm is then set, so simple. Plus there's a tiny little dot of light that appears next to the displayed time, when the alarm is set, that way you have further confirmation that you've set an alarm. I've also asked Alexa what time is the alarm set for, she'll tell me. No more faffing around with the old clock radio that we used to have, it was so long winded to set the alarm, even harder to set the clock display.
I prefer the sound quality of our standard echo dots though, the sound quality of this isn't as clear to me, the sleep sounds don't sound as nice on this device. However it has a clock display, so that's the reason I upgraded to this one.
Along with sleep sounds, I also like to check the weather for my local area, a handy little item, happy with my purchase and fully recommend.
