I love this clock. It's compact, easy to set and the sounds are really relaxing. You'll have to turn the volume up pretty loud when using the sounds for waking, because they're relaxing in their own way. Pretty cool the way the time is displayed on the ceiling, though we don't use it because it's a little bright. I'd buy this clock again!

We received this item in A-1 condition. It has proven to be all that it was advertised. Thank you.

When on vacation, we realized we had forgotten our daughters white noise machine, we went to a nearby walgreens and this was the only white noise machine choice.
The recorded sounds are extremly poor quality. The green numbers in front and the projection are too bright. The lights completely filled the room, it seemed there was no way to escape the surface-of-the-sun-bright lights. We ended up having to throw a big bath towel over it, which dimmed the lights but also drowned the sounds.

My favorite aspects are: 1) it's easy to project the time onto the ceiling in a big font size; 2) the sounds (e.g., ocean) are relaxing. The aspects that I like the least are: 1) there are a lot of small buttons and it's impossible to tell which is which except in a well-lit room. It would be better if the labels were lit up. 2) the volume and radio tuner are adjusted by moving a dial. It's easy to move the device and accidentally turn down the volume. This can be a problem if you've set the clock-radio alarm and the radio volume is too low. 3) the ocean and other sounds are good in theory, but the sound quality is sub-par

This is a good entry-level sound machine, but don't expect amazing quality. The projection time was great, but only lasted about 3 or 4 months and then stopped functioning. It just forecasts 88:88.

The sounds are OK, but fairly repetitive / "low budget". If you are interested in a sound machine, I'd recommend checking out the Brookstone line. I just upgraded to the Brookstone travel alarm tranquil moments sound machine. The sound quality is much improved. There is no projection on that clock, but then again, there isn't on my version of this product anymore, either.

The other product is easier to travel with. I will take when staying in a hotel to avoid hearing lots of outside noises.
