What owners single out
In their words
“I have had a hard time waking up in the mornings because the room at my current apartment gets no sunlight. I was looking all over for a light that could mimic sunrise, for a low price! Having this alarm clock has helped me so much, and solved my waking-up issue! The instructions are easy to follow and there are a lot of customisation options available.”

“I've only had it for a few days, so I can't give a long term review, but so far it's good! The alarm tones are horrid, but I figured out how to turn them off (even though it's not in the instructions) so I'm happy with it. In case you also want that, if you turn on the sounds and then turn the volume down, the volume will stay down for the alarm.”
