REACHER Dual Alarm Clock & Sleep Sound Machine, USB Charger, 12 Soothing Sounds, 6 Wake Up Sounds, Auto-Off Timer, 0-100% Dimmer - Ideal for Bedroom, Bedside

When my old (like really, really old - like from the '80's!) clock's alarm setting switch stopped working, I wanted to find a similar clock. I didn't need a lot of bells and whistles. I was looking for a plain, single alarm clock that I could plug in, set the alarm, and that was that.But I couldn't find a clock like that. Everything had all this stuff on it I wouldn't use. I didn't need a radio, or the weather, or any of the other myriad things clocks seem to have these days.Then I had a thought. Maybe instead of waking up to an alarm, I could wake up to birds or something. So I began searching for that and found this clock. I liked that this clock didn't have a radio, or the weather on it, but it did have several different options for alarm sounds.Another thing I liked, but ended up not using, is that it has several options for white noise to fall asleep to. I normally use my radio for that. I ended up continuing to use my radio as I liked it better than the noises the clock offered.I wasn't too sure about the clock display, but once received I liked it. It was larger and easier to see than my old clock's display.Another think I really like about this clock is that I can dim or brighten the display. I dim it at night and brighten it in the morning. I couldn't do that with my old clock. It had a pretty dim display.This clock also offers six different alarm sounds. Birds is one of them. There's also a flute, which is the one I like, a piano, a traditional alarm clock sound (not digital but the kind with the two bells on top), a watch alarm sound, and one more I don't remember.I originally didn't want a clock with dual alarms and admittedly I've only used this feature once, but it's nice to have when you need it. Before I would have had to re-set my alarm. Now I don't have to if I need to wake up twice.Also, you can adjust the volume on this clock. I couldn't do that with my old one.It's also a nice size - not too big and not too small. It looks nice sitting next to my bed.I'm very pleased with this clock and happy I bought it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs an alarm clock, and wants a digital one that's simple to use and doesn't have a ton of extra stuff on it. If your old clock is a basic one from way back when, I think you'll love this clock. It's a nice upgrade.

In my effort to get the phone out of my bedroom, I've been searching for something for alarms and sound machine. I tried a Philips with light that incrementally gets stronger to wake and it was a no go - difficult to set up, the light would never have woken mebecause light too low, sounds were bad, seemed cheaply made ... returned. So after searching for a very long time, I tried this one. The footprint is small, so fits easily on my nightstand and would be easy to take with me for travel. It's not a pretty device like some others I thought about, but it meets my needs perfectly. I chose the clock face with red digital numbers so as not to have light bothering me while trying to sleep. You can dim the clock's readout to no light, I have it on medium and when I turn the front to the side, there is no visible light and i only have to turn it towards me to see time if I want. I'm not sure if the white numbered. clocks would be good as well, maybe another reviewer could speak to that, but I do know that red light doesn't interfere with melatonin and sleep. Would have preferred a white housing with red clock face, Suggestion for Seller. Super easy to setup, has a buttons to turn sound up or down, two alarms available, snooze button which i think you can adjust the duration, and the sound machine feature with a sleep button. The sound I chose turned out to be similar to one I was using on my phone, the Brown Noise. It sounds like it has a little rhythmic heartbeat to it perhaps, not as distinct as the Youtube video I was used to, or maybe it's just me, but at any rate, I like it. I do also sleep with wax earplugs by Quies and between the sound machine feature and plugs, I sleep undisturbed.There are other sound choices for the sound machine. There is a slight noise as the sound loops if you're sensitive to that, but it doesn't bother me. I chose the Flute with Birds alarm sound and it's pleasant while still being able to wake me even with earplugs. The clock readout, while digital and not pretty, is large so I don't need glasses to see it. For the price, ease of setup, easy controls, pleasant alarm sounds, plus a decent sound machine it checks all my boxes and is a good value. I hope this helps with choosing, took me a very long time to find something that works for a light sleeper like me!

I wanted:big numbers on clock / soothing color (no more blaring red) / no more glaring numbers all night, wanted to be able to turn way down in intensity / white noise and/or nature sounds for sleep / must have capability of running white noises ALL night / compact / electric.....very hard to find all, sift thru a hundred choices....FOUND IT !!! great size on numbers, has a dial to pick intensity of brightness, so not just three choices, literally a hundred choices of light, you just move the dial til you are happy and then turn it back up high for daylight reading / nature sounds are great, I ended up choosing pink noise (never knew there were colors in noise) and switch off wi ocean and rain / has timer if you want your great compact size / electric, which allow you the power to use features ....batteries are for back up if your lights go out....don't use the alarm clock feature, but it has two alarms and separate sounds for your alarm if you hate beep beep so can't say how well it works....AND; easy peasy to set up, took me 4 minutes...and if you wish, you can set up sleep sounds on timer, I chose to not set up and let it run all night, just turn off and on with button......perfect clock for me, got everything I wanted and just in time for my birthday
