Very versatile, only complaint has to do with sound control when bluetooth is used.
We bought this wake up alarm clock for our boys room. We knew that they would like the color options and the bluetooth speaker options. We bought each of our boys an MP3 player for christmas and the idea was that this light could be used for a night light, speaker to listen to music as they went to sleep, and it could help them wake up in the morning. It does all this and more. We also bought a more expensive wake up light for my wife and I (Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Sunrise Simulation, White (HF3500/60)) and I was less impressed with the functionality of the one I bought for myself. Not only does this wake up light have everything I'm looking for but it also has a sunset simulation. I use it to help my boys understand that the light turns on bright 30 minutes before bedtime and it helps them get in bed so they can use the fading light to read, before it gets too dim and turns off (sleep time). The light changes by degrees over time, which isn't a big deal. The Phillips wakeup light I bought for my wife and I fades and brightens through a gradient by comparison (nicer, but not that big of a deal). This wake up light only has one flaw in my opinion that's worth mentioning. When our boys connect their MP3 players to the bluetooth setting, their is no way to adjust the volume on the wake up light. We have turned the volume all the way down on the MP3 players, but it's still quite loud music coming from the wake up light. When you touch the +/- buttons it changes the song on your MP3 player, rather than adjusting the volume on the bluetooth speaker. When I connect my Samsung S6 phone to the MP3 I can get the music quieter, but I'm going to try a piece of foam or something to bring down the volume down (kind of annoying).

Doesn't keep time well after 30 days
Pros:Lights up brightly in different colors.Like the yellow wake up light in the morning.Bluetooth works from cell phone.Cons:Clock is off by 3-4 minutes every month, ugh! An alarm clock that doesn't keep time... :(You can select all of the light colors, except white-yellow, which only comes on only with the alarm.

Bit of a learning curve to the setup but works well.
I was looking for a simple sunrise clock; one that reliably fades in light in the morning and doesn't make any noise. It took some fiddling, and a few days of waking up early or it just not turning on to get it dialed in right, but after it was setup I had exactly what I wanted. With the sound turned off, the morning fade in, and the nightly fade out I never have to touch the thing or worry about it.My only complaints would be that the total brightness could be better and the shape could be a little more space friendly (read: rectangular) but it functions well.

Good clock
This clock is fine, the colors are bright, and the sound is fine but it is not the easiest to program. I find myself pushing buttons more than once and reprogramming it over and over. Grr.I bought the clock for the sunrise effect in my kids' room and so far that does seem to make the mornings a little easier. They tend to wake-up in a better mood.

Really nice clock with great nature sounds
Bought it for my tween daughter and she likes the nature sounds. The lights are neat but are a bit bright. The overall sound is pretty good. It does require playing around with it and some trial and error to figure out all the functions but we are happy with our purchase so far

Reasonable, neat alarm clock
Good if you're not interested in using the Bluetooth function. Bluetooth remains on when when the stereo is off, forcing you to disconnect if you want to use your phone for something else. It's a great way to wake up, however. I really like the light feature.

Love lighting - could use better alarm sounds
I love the sunrise and sunset timers. I'm an awful morning person and this helps me out in the mornings. I don't ever hear the alarms that are programmed into the clock and even the radio function for the alarm doesn't stay on long enough before snoozing so I don't hear it even at max volume. This could be because I am a heavy sleeper though.I have a soothing alarm on my phone that doesn't jolt me awake and the soft sunrise light from this alarm clock make for a good morning wake up duo.

Multifunction clock
I dumped my Sony alarm clock a year ago and replaced with my phone and app. This clock is much better. The clock has functions that can’t be replaced with phone and app. Plus the radio function is very good. It receives many more stations than my old clock. It also replaced my bed side lamp.
