Sunrise Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers, Wake Up Light with S...

I haven’t done extensive research on all similar products, but from what I can tell, the one distinguishing feature from such products in a similar price range is that this clock has a USB port to charge your phone. So rather than have to pick what thing to lose from my bedside outlet, I can just replace my phone charger with this clock. This helps put this light clock over others for me.Downside: charging though the clock is slower than my normal adapter. But when I’m just leaving it through the night, no big deal.The rest of the features seem to be the same as similar products, but I’ll comment on them anyway because I really enjoy them. And if these features weren’t there, it’d be harder to pick this clock over other clocks despite having the charger function.1) You can turn off the LED lights that display the time. If you just want the waking light functionality but don’t like small red lights glaring in the darkness, reminding you how it’s this late and you still haven’t fallen asleep, you can turn it off (and back on) with a couple clicks of a button.2) You can turn off the alarm sound and just use the waking light on its own. I like the preset sounds, but maybe sometimes you just want the light to slowly reveal itself rather than it be accompanied by a sudden sound.3) Makes a good lamp, and I enjoy the additional color light show feature.4) I don’t really think I’ll use the FM radio feature that much or at all, but it does automatically scan and preset ALL radio stations that have some signal. So you can just scroll through the stations that actually air something (though it does pick up poor quality ones too) rather than scroll through the channels that air nothing.5) You can use a 24-hour setting rather than AM/PM. I’ve always liked not using AM/PM.6) It’s kind of…cute.Those features stood out most to me and made this a great clock. But just to mention some more: two alarm presets, can set brightness of alarm light, can set volume of alarm sound, a sleep mode (light will dim instead of brighten), 9-minute snooze, and some more fine-grained settings I don’t want to bother listing that allow you to really customize things to your preferences. Oh, and there’s a battery that preserves your settings if you ever have to unplug the clock (though I actually haven’t checked this function).Downsides:1) I think I’ll always need the instruction booklet because there are so many features and settings that use the same buttons. I may have used it enough now to know how to work everything, or at least the functions I primarily use, but there really is a lot. Single click this, double click that, long-hold this. That kind of stuff. You kind of have to learn the clock; I had to refer to the booklet for the first more than a few times. God help you if you forget how to set something you want in the future and don’t have the booklet. (I still like the features themselves.)2) Even though the radio scans all the channels, scrolling through them is a pain in the butt. You have to long hold a button to move through the presets. As soon as I found a decent station I just left it there. Regular click is reserved for radio volume. Not sure why they couldn’t use the same buttons that control alarm volume, but I don’t know anything about how hard that sort of wiring or whatever is.That’s it. It’s a great clock.
