Love love love this machine!
This is a great alarm clock! Sturdy for when Iâm smacking the snooze button! Snoozes for an hour! Starts out low and then gets louder so Iâm not scared to death. Very easy to use. A little bright so I cover the face at night but the ceiling projection is great! I donât see well but I can see that perfect. This is a great product.

Love the sounds and projector too
I have bought this brand before. It lasted many many years so I know its performance will be at least 20 yrs. Volume is amazing stereo sounds. Accurate easy to set time timers numbers are large. It makes great sleep sounds with a good variety of them. I know it will perform for many years to come. Very happy and worth every penny. Was accurate in description. I love this item it has many functions.

Projector is TOO bright
I love this projector clock so much. I took off one star because the projector is too bright at night. It allows you to dim the clock face from high to medium to low or off completely. I donât understand why they did not do the same thing for the projector portion. I love the sound machine because it consolidates my clock and sound machine into one product. It makes various sounds but if youâre only looking for white noise, you wonât even bother with the rest of the options although they are pleasant sounds. I will not be returning it even though the projector really is too bright. This is also superior quality product!

I’m delighted with this alarm clock!
I am delighted with this alarm clock. Once you learn how to use it, which is my only negative, then you have an amazing machine. I really like is that you can be awoken to 8 different sounds. I enjoy the ocean waves, I have a hard time finding that. Also I like that you can decrease the brightness of the clock by just pressing the snooze button. I usually turn it off, by pressing the snooze button, and when I want to see the time, I just press the snooze button once.I did have trouble fully understanding that you can set the volume for the machine and you also have to set the volume for the clock as well. They are 2 separate and that is the most confusing thing. So I typed instructions for myself and why not share with you.To turn on radio hit âpowerâ button.. I think that is how to control volume.. hit âPowerâ then volume.. ( not sure if there is any other way to do volume? ) You can just just hear Fm only. For sounds press âpowerâ then sounds and keep pressing the sounds button till you find the sound you like, there are like 7 soundsâ¦Setting the time- press the âtime setâ button in the back and hold for 3 seconds, use the volume button to make the time earlier or later, then the minutes hit âtime setâ and the volume button, then if you press the âtime setâ button again, its for 12 or 24 hrs.. ( I like 12 hrs). (note, you can use the Volume button for making the time later or earlier, or the tuner button, whatever you want it works)..Setting the Alarm, we only need one alarm, so just press âalarm1â for 3 seconds and then use the volume or tuner button to adjust the clock.. then press the alarm button again and have a choice if you want it to be âsoundâ âbeepâ or radio, just press the volume button up or down to pick between sound, beep and radio. If you pick sound, you will need to press âsoundâ in the top to adjust what sound you want..There are 2 sounds for the clock the sound you chose for the alarm, and the sound you pick for the machine. To set the sound level for the alarm—hold alarm 1 button for 3 seconds and it will blink the hourâpress alarm button again and it will blink the minutes..Press alarm1 button again and it will show the sound- you can make it Fm, Sound or beep, if you make it sound just press âSoundâ in the top right and you can pick which sound. Then final step, hold the Alarm1 button one more time and it will show you which volume of sound from 0-16. If you donât do this final step, you will not be controlling the loudness of the alarm, so press Alarm1 that final time!!!Note- the one tricky thing is that when you are setting the alarm, the volume for the sound that comes on- again when you are setting the alarm, and hear the sound volume, you are hearing the sound volume for the machine, NOT the alarm sound volume. If they had been smarter they would have made you hear the alarm sound volume.Again, there are 2 different settings for the sound- 1- alarm sound, and 2- the sound of the machine in general. There are 2 separate sounds and 2 separate volumes, but for some silly reason the volume you hear when setting the alarm, is the volume of the machine, not the volume of the alarm.And 2 different volumes for the machine the alarm volume and the machine volume. So, you can have the volume of the machine off and the volume of the alarm on. So remember to press the alarm1 button one last time after you see the âsound settingâ, so you can set the sound, this is something I was confused with.

You can make adjustments to suit your likes and needs.
We like the gentle wake up mode. Needed to get away from that blaring startling sound of our old alarm. The wall reflection of the time is helpful, and adds some light to the room, without being over-bearing. If you want just the light of the clock, you can turn it to the lowest setting. You can turn it away from you, if that bit of light bothers you. The nature sounds are nice, and the radio is surprisingly good for what you might expect in a smaller unit. We turn off the clock light during the day to save on the internal battery. Have had no problems. The only thing is to turn off the alarm shortly after it starts, as it gets louder and louder…probably a good feature for hard-to-wake people. Also be sure to read all the directions…like where to shut off the alarm…if you don’t want to hear the alarm go off again a few minutes later.

some nice features, some not so nice
My previous clock radio was also a Homedics and I LOVED it….was so sorry when it died!! I thought this clock radio checked my 4 most desired boxes (dual alarm, easy DST change, pleasant alarm sounds, and battery backup, altho battery backup was not mentioned in the description). I returned the clock, because the “soothing blue” backlight on the clock face, even on it’s dimmest setting is still blinding….enough so that it was hard to even see the smaller alarm setting numbers. The “soothing blue” projection light was so very bright, both on the top of the radio and on the ceiling, that it lit up my whole bedroom. Neither light was restful!! The “relaxing nature sounds” all sound pretty much like “static sounds.” Not clear, distinctive sounds, and not at all pleasant or relaxing for going to sleep or for waking up. I was so excited to get this clock, and so disappointed to have to return it.

Amazing sound machine AND alarm clock
Iâve been on the hunt for a noise machine for my insomniac mom and this is it!! The projection is clear, the buttons work well and it feels well made and the instructions are clear. You can play the sounds all night or set a timer and the sounds are so clear, crisp, and realistic. This has an actual alarm sound(beeping) to wake you up with an increasing volume and the screen has brightness levels as well. Itâs everything weâve been looking for. Also has a backup battery so if the power goes out it will still work as long as your power is back on when your alarm is set. Disclaimer the alarm will not sound if the power is out at the time your alarm is set to go off and will not sound once turned back on if the alarm window has passed while the power was off. But when the power turns back on the time is still correct and the alarms are still set.

Los números son de buen tamaño, ideal para poder ver la hora sin problemas. El cordón de la antena debe de estar extendido y bien colocado para que se escuchen en forma adecuada las estaciones de radio.Los sonidos de la naturaleza son bastante relajantes y se escuchan muy nÃtidos.El proyector de la pantalla no es muy útil.

If I wake up in the night (which I do often) just one look at the ceiling tells me the time. Love this projection clock. It’s white, it’s tidy and very classy.

Muy buena opción. La proyección de la hora en la pared es práctica y la luz no molesta en absoluto para dormir.Los sonidos son muy agradables y el hecho de que sea eléctrico resulta muy conveniente. No hay que estar al pendiente de las pilas. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra

Me encanto, justo lo que buscaba, no le doy las 5 estrellas solo porque en los sonidos de naturaleza logro escuchar un sonido de estática que llega a ser muy fastidiosa, por todo lo demás está ok
