HOUSBAY Sunrise Alarm Clock for Bedroom – Natural Wake-Up Light, FM Radio & Bluetooth Speaker, Wood-Inspired Design, Dimmable Night Light for Adults & Phone-Free Mornings

Can’t imagine spending up on a hatch
I don’t enjoy waking up to a loud alarm, as I’d imagine most people would agree. I wanted to try this style of alarm clock but the name brand (Hatch) seems insanely priced. I settled on this clock from HOUSBAY and it has been great. It’s been reliable and has worked as expected every morning since I started using it. I like the wood look and that is has radio and bluetooth baked in (not really necessary but kinda nice). Most of all, I like that most mornings this gets me up before my alarm goes off so I’m not jolted awake by annoying noises. I set this to gradually get brighter over the course of 30 mins, and reach peak brightness about 10 mins before my alarm goes off on my phone. I’d say 9 times out of 10, I wake up to the light. Definitely worth the money if you are tired of loud alarms in the morning.

Peaceful and Perfect
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve been using this alarm for about 3 months now and I have loved it since day one. I feel more rested and I enjoy my mornings. It’s a peaceful easy way to wake up and I highly recommend. I chose this alarm because it was cute design and had many options including Bluetooth and dimmable numbers. I love a dark room when I sleep and this clock is perfect 

Works well, no sunset feature
Does what it says it does well. The lighting is beautiful and calming. Wakes us up over a 30 minute window using light.We wish it had a sunset functionality, and it would be perfect. If that’s important to you, keep scrolling.

wake up calm…
I have some personal gripes about this sunrise alarm clock, but overall I like it a lot — as a person who does not require klaxons and sirens to get my morning started. The ups and downs:plus points• much more attractive as desk/nightstand accessory than I expected for a “fake wood” disk.• it provides a gentle way to wake up; in a dark room the rising light alone will wake me most days.• snooze is easy to hit; turning alarm off requires more attention.• the exotic bird song alarm is very pleasant; the regular electronic alarm beeps are fine if something harsher is needed.• the alarm volume can be set from very quiet to pretty darn loud.• the rising light period is adjustable.• I expected the amber on amber time display to be difficult in daylight, but it is quite visible.• left on, it makes a great nightlight — from bedside “starlight” level to walking about light for a large area.• FM radio reception in a fringe area is as good as my Midland weather radio.minus points• the “backup” battery just saves memory — does not run display or alarm. Still late for work.• there is no indicator that the backup battery needs replacement — probably be dead when you need it.• the AC/DC adapter is at the wall plug not inside the clock.• the AC/DC adapter sticks out 2” – exposed to damage from nightstand or bed pushed against.• the “bird/music” audible alarm is pretty awful, with an annoyingly clumsy loop transition.• listing suggests use as a reading light — nah, not without a whiteish light color option.• the “>” button does not seem to cycle stored radio presets, just advances tuning one step at a time.you decide• an AC powered alarm clock!?! Only if a power outage provides an acceptable excuse for tardiness.• the power cord is only 4.5ft long.• the radio as alarm is whatever station you have set — it would work for me.• the clock apparently runs on DC, but maybe too much for battery operation (5v 2.0A = 10w).• power rated at 10w but I test max 3w with max light & max volume alarm sounding (radio off).• no one thing is more complex than any digital device, but many options and controls at hand while half asleep…
