This should have been a great purchase. The idea was brilliant, but the execution failed on nearly every level. An alarm clock that'd also charge my phone and had a night light was just what I was looking for, and this has it all, but then the manufacture decided to make it as frustrating and annoying as is possible. First, the buttons for increasing or decreasing the intensity of the light and the clock's time and the nightlight are all proximity switches, so you just need to get your finger or fingers or hand close to a switch that you can't feel and suddenly you've changed the time or turned on an alarm or lit up the dark room with the nightlight, resulting in a scowl from your bed partner. And if you happened to do this unexpected change before the time to awaken, that alarm you unknowingly set or time that you unexpectedly changed, can easily ruin the morning, and then fixing the problem becomes even more annoying.This is hopefully the only alarm clock that requires that you keep the instructions nearby so that you can figure out how to undo what sleepy fingers did. To change this or that, you'll need to press a button (that you still can't feel), or combination of buttons, to do something that will never be intuitive. And then, a day or week or month later, you get to do it again, and it's still completely nonintuitive. I'm guessing that most will find this as disagreeable as do I, or perhaps the repetition of fixing the same thing will eventually become a muscle memory. It's good to have many of those types of memories, but typically not for an alarm clock.The nightlight could be nice, with all the color options, but you can't select one and stay with that color. Nope - if you always wanted blue or red or white, each time you turn it on you have to keep on tapping that switch that you can't feel to scroll to the color that you want. How dumb is that? And then there's the "feature" that decides when you "want" the intensity of the clock increased or decreased, at set times that you can't change. So if you want to sleep in, you'll have to learn to ignore the high-intensity numbers that light up the room at 7:00 AM, every day. Regardless of when you went to bed, that becomes a de facto wake up call, whether you like it or not.The phone charger works fine, but the pulsing blue light telling you that the phone is charging is bright enough to excite Wal-Mart shoppers throughout the county. Why? Who knows - perhaps the brightest possible blue LED was also the least expensive, or they decided that you wanted to see that blue light when the sun is shining through your window and aimed directly at the clock. Could that be an option? sure. Do you want your, after-lights-out room lit up like it was a cheap, city motel room with a flashing neon light just outside of the drape-less windows? Probably not.Was this ever tried before it went from concept to full production? I'm kind of hoping the answer's no, because if it's not, the manufacture has lost touch with reality.Perhaps someone else will take the concept of this design and make it compatible with a bedroom, and offer options rather than decide what everyone will get. I'm sure this started as a good idea, but for whatever reasons, the execution resulted in a device incompatible for my, and I'm guessing most, bedrooms. I'll end up relegating it to the garage, where all of it's potential will likely never be used, but out there it'll be less likely to continuously frustrate and annoy.In concept and design, this clock would seem to be amazing. The unfortunate reality is there are a few major flaws...1) The blue charging light blinks constantly when your phone is on it. I would expect it to stop after a few minutes or certainly after it is charged. But no, it just keeps blinking forever. Given that it's for your bedside, a blinking light all night long isn't great.2) It's nice that you can adjust the brightness of the clock display. However, it has an auto brightness that cranks up to high even though we had it set to dim. Again, in a bedroom setting, having your room light up like a Christmas tree is not fantastic.3) Charging is inconsistent and slow. The slowness isn't the end of the world because it should have plenty of time while you're sleeping. But even worse, there are times where it just plain doesn't finish charging even though it was on all night and said it was charging both before going to bed and after waking up.Again, the concept of this is super cool and so is the sleek look. It's too bad that the design execution is so flawed.The product is really sharp, minimalistic and easy to use.The brightness is BRIGHT and the ability to adjust it is a great extra featureThe changing color light option is nice as well, very florescent !Charges phone easilyThe ONLY issue is that the micro-sb plug to power on the devise comes easily loose and turns off the clock which stops it from charging your phone.Would recommend !This is a really cool device and charger, but the timing function for changing the LED numbers from dim to medium to bright is hard coded into the clock. So every day (yes sat and sun too) it goes automatically from dim to bright at 7am in your timezone. Very bad design decision. I had to move it from my nightstand to my office to get some sleep on the weekends.This clock is a good idea, in theory. Unfortunately, there are a number of oddities that make the device unusable for me. First, the buttons that control settings are hard to avoid hitting accidentally when placing or removing a phone for wireless charging, but then they're somehow also hard to find when you need to in the dark to adjust something. Speaking of adjusting, the white LED display way too bright. It literally lit up my whole bedroom and interrupted my sleep for the week that I used it. Dimming the light was little help, the lowest setting was still too bright at night. Further, the lowest brightness setting is actually an off setting which is puzzling and frustrating. Even worse, every clock cycle, the brightness resets and it's back to being too bright again! I'm also not clear on the purpose or need for the multi-color night light light but turning it on by accident while reaching for your phone and having to turn on a light to see the button and turn it back off is also a major pain.Overall, the build quality seems good but the usability is very poor and seems to be the result of limited or no consumer testing before going to production.An improved version of this product would have the following:- Buttons for settings moved down below the display.- Lower intensity LED display with better brightness controls- Brightness settings that remain until changedNot the best…alarm is soft and couldn’t wake a ant…The clock is great only with a couple of design flaws. The adjustment buttons are on the front top and they are very very sensitive. Not easy to avoid touching them while you’re placing your phone on the top wireless charging base. Also, it auto dims. Meaning it changes to brightness at different times of the day. You can’t change that or turn it off. So sometimes in the middle of the night my room is lit up by the clock.Looks good, very easy to read (when the clock isn't broken), charging pad works well, light effective but that's where the good stuff ends.Biggest single issue is the capacitive touch buttons. They are really tricky to get to work and slow to respond. This means unlocking the buttons (required to do anything after a 30 second time out) takes a huge amount of patience before you even start.This issue is further compounded by having only a few buttons so they all have to do multiple things. Working out how to turn on and off an alarm was ridiculous. Eventually found the - button sets alarm 1 and the + button sets alarm 2. Well of course it does.The display goes a bit wonky too with elements lit that shouldn't be or missing when they shouldn't. The time in the picture is 10:08 not maybe 19:08?Physical buttons on the back and a separate snooze button on the front would have made a big difference and kept the clean lines but we had to replace this in the end after too many early morning frustrations.Pretty but rubbish. The clock itself looks nice but doesn’t work well as a charger. Display is large and bright, can be dimmed and has automatic adjustment settings. Nightlight works in a spectrum of colours but this is where the good news ends. Powered by usb cable that you need to provide your own plug for. Wireless charger on the top (the reason we purchased) works for 5 minutes before cutting out. If wireless charger and nightlight used together, nightlight flickers. For the price you pay, I expected much better quality.I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband and to say I am embarrassed to say I bought it for him is an understatement. Six months after I bought it, the only positive feature, the wireless charger, has now given up the ghost, finally rendering this product completely useless, but it is the other annoying aspects which have slowly driven us mad.Since we have bought it, and despite a million attempts to adjust it, the clock has always been 7 minutes fast, but one of the most frustratingly irritating aspects is the fact that there is no memory on the clock brightness setting, meaning that at 7am and 6pm every day it resets itself to the brightest clock setting. This might not sound like much, but if this is a bedside clock, you are continuously turning the brightness down in order to be able to sleep without having the brightest, flash-light-like light beside your head. Although we got use to turning the light down before going to bed every night, this also led to another irritating feature, which is, if you hold the brightness button down for too long, this alarm clock automatically sets an alarm for 12am. With the screen brightness turned right down, you can't see the alarm symbol, meaning this thing woke us up in the middle of the night on various occasions.I really can't see any positive features of this clock. Yes it's easy to read and looks quite smart, but it's unreliability and the fact that it hasn't even lasted 6 months means I am now looking forward to chucking it in the bin and getting a good, undisturbed night's sleep.Plugged it in and set it all okay with some difficulty then I put my phone on to charge and it completely malfunctions and even starts making a high frequency noice, sounding like it’s about to explode while the dial has numbers appearing and disappearing. In the end I had to unplug it as it’s unusable. Sadly a waste of money and a Christmas present down the drain.I think I’m going to sound crazy but the phone keeps leaping off the charger overnight. I initially thought it was unsteady or had been knocked it but must be something to do with charging surges. Also, the coloured light goes on and off at will and the clock display keeps turning up to full brightness. Frankly I haven’t had a night’s sleep since I bought this device! Hubbie says it’s haunted!If it didn’t do the above I’d love it as display clear and the lights pretty and it’s a really neat little item.
