Customer Review: Great Features, Yet Unusable
Summary: 1 Stars
A friend gave me this for Christmas and I was really excited about getting it. I have almost all my life had a habit of going to sleep with the radio playing and then automatically going off. But now that I'm married my wife can't stand ANY sound as she goes to sleep. I was ready to see if some of the "nature" sounds might be something she could accept. Well, the she actually liked the sounds and I was happy with the radio reception and the different options for the two alarms (wake on beep, wake to radio, wake to sound) as well as the timer for turning it off automatically.
But...I quickly found two horrible problems. One, the device too light and the buttons are positioned in such a way that to use them you have use two hands every time otherwise the you catch yourself pushing the thing all around the bedside table. Actually the only convenient button is the snooze button on the very top. Even the power button is unusable because you have to use one hand to stabilize it and the other to push.
Second, the display. Where the weight of the item was too "light" the display shines too much "light". I mean there is too much light. The first time I turned off the room lights I almost felt like I hadn't. There is almost enough light to read by. I have to turn the display away from facing me otherwise when I wake up at night to turn over or something else I'm blinded!! It's like there is a spotlight setting in one corner of the room. My wife gets up a lot to go to the bathroom and she would always turn on her bedside light but now she doesn't have too. (I'm not saying this is a good thing.)
Another issue is the projection clock. I've always dreamed of having a clock like this but I was so sad in the implementation. I would assume that the purpose of a projection clock is to make it convenient to remain on your back and look to the ceiling and see the time. But the way it's done the projection will only be behind the base clock or directly overhead of it. So, if I want to see the projection from where I am sleeping I have to turn towards the clock (and the blazing spotlight) itself and therefore don't need the projection. A big disappointment. :-(
To summarize, I really like what features are included but the design was probably never tested in real life to see how people would interact with it. As such I would NOT recommend this to anyone.
