Best alarm clock ever
Loved this alarm clock! The light is enough to wake you up, wonderful selection of sounds to choose from as well.

Great looks, moderate functionality
I don’t think it’s worth the $180 price tag. You really don’t get all that much tech with it, and this could have been made in the early 2000s and it still wouldn’t be worth the price. Other that looking pretty cool and lighting up nice, there’s really not much else good to say about it. The internal speakers are incredibly weak, touch controls are quite outdated, and the radio wire isn’t the best feature.

More natural way to wake up
I've been curious about these futuristic alarm clocks for a while now, so I was thrilled to have one of my own. After using it for about a week, I must say it works well for me. Prior to the SmartSleep, I was using the Sleep Cycle app but won't be going back to that. I initially thought the sound (Buddha Wake) were not going to be loud enough to wake me up but surprising it is. What is most fascinating to me is that I've been waking up with the simulated Sunrise alone before the sound starts playing. My body is responding to the light, even though it's artificial, so I guess we are supposed to wake up when the Sun comes up! The night light feature comes in handy and the USB port on the back is convenient to charge my phone. The manual states that it has at least 8 hours of backup power, in case of power outage. The setup was pretty easy and it has more features but I probably won't be using them (radio aux., unwind programs, relax breathe). Two reason why it's not five stars - its bulky size and hefty price tag. The dimensions are approx. 10 x 9 x 4.5 inches, which is pretty big and it takes up a large space of my descent-size night stand. I personally thinks it's quite expensive, especially if you think of it as an alarm clock. However, it could make a very nice gift for someone who wants an alternative to a traditional alarm clock or a sleep-assist app. One complaint to Philips - I used to be able to register the products without having an account. It's likely for your marketing purposes but I don't want to have another user log-in to babysit. There is no longer a mail-in option, so either you suck it up and create an account or don't register. I always try to register my purchases, in case of warranty and/or recalls. This new (to me) requirement could deter your customers from registering the products. Just my two cents.
