Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa Built-in - Digital LED with Auto-Adjust Brightness - Smart Alarm Clock with Speaker and Mic - Compatible with Lenovo Smart Clock Docking

The clock is cool, but there’s one problem: I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t speak English, and Alexa doesn’t understand Russian, Ukrainian, or Hebrew. So the only person who can talk to it is my son, who does speak English. Because of that, I’m not even sure what to write in the review. The clock itself is good — the numbers are large and bright.

Great While It Lasted. So easy to use and set up. Great Sound. I wish they kept making it. It was knocked off of a night stand and never worked again. Not it fault.

Good aesthetics and great to have Alexa built in, the speaker is not as good quality as the echos but it is not a deal breaker, I have bought 2 of these.

So I wanted an alarm clock attached to wifi to keep accurate time. I cannot tell you how many alarm clocks we have purchased over the years from well known brands which experience time drift, so constantly having to reset the time every few months is super annoying. This one is wifi connected, keeps accurate time, adaptive display brightness, gives a mini weather report right on the display, and can also act as an alexa speaker AND IT HAS A MANUAL OFF SWITCH so you can turn off the alexa feature. I didn't need it because we have tons of echos in the house already, so really just wanted a very smart alarm clock.

Note; we have the Alexa version, not the Google Update: I found a showstopper and I changed my review from 4 to 1 star, more on that, but first: I have two of these, one on each bedside table. The only issue with having two in one room is (other than the showstopper mentioned below) that if you use the wake word to set an alarm, you will invariably set it for both units. We use the button on top to interrogate the one we want to set the alarm. Other workarounds are; use a different wake word for each, or use the Alexa app to set your alarms. Easy enough, although you may have to remind your spouse numerous times...... ; ) SHOWSTOPPER: When you first set the unit up, it has a loud chime that lets you know that it is connected to the internet and is ready to go! Well, it chimes EVERYTIME it connects (or reconnects) to the internet. So when you are peacefully snoozing and loose internet at night (brief power outage, internet drop out, or router reboot) it chimes. Like loud! Like "WAKE THE HECK UP I'M READY TO GO" chime. This happened a couple of times when we first go the units and didn't think too much about it, but recently I replace our router and this router reboots every 3 nights at 3am. So, I'm getting the charming chime during my sleep time, and it's very disruptive. I have the 'do not disturb' turned on in the Alexa app as well as the 'no notifications' box checked. But yes, it still CHIMES! I did find that others are having this issue and Lenovo has stated it doesn't have control over the programing and that it's Amazons fault. According to some, Amazon's solution (if you are in the return window) is to send you another unit. Which, according to others that did that, the new units still chime (I'm way outside that window so it's not an option for me}. So, us customers are left in the middle of two 'pointing fingers' companies. So, my suggestion is to not support either one. Love this clock! I was a little worried that it would be too bright at night, but the automatic dimming is perfect for me and when not dimmed I can see the time from across the room. This clock is just an alarm clock for bedside (or where ever) that happens to have Alexa built in. If your looking to use full blown Alexa with touch screen, look elsewhere. I use the Alexa feature to set alarms and run my household routines (turn out lights, get the weather, etc.), so really light "Alexa" duty with this device. I do have issues with this clock: You cannot change the wake word (as of 9/27/22), which will be a challenge because I purchased another for my wife's side. I had trouble changing the sound meter to weather; I don't have a setting in my Alexa app to do it (and the app just updated, so not sure why it's not showing up under Lenovo Smart Clock device settings), and it wouldn't respond when I tried to use voice instructions to change it (I tried every configuration of voice command). I ended up resetting the clock to factory settings and the weather showed up on reboot. I'm happy about that but not sure I can change it back to sound meter. Overall, I'm happy with it because the main focus for me, besides being a bedside alarm clock, is the dimming capability and the ability to turn off my smart home lights when going to bed, and I enjoy the weather update right on the clock.

SETUP Setup never completed for me, but the clock showed up in the Alexa app anyway - as two separate entries actually. I don't know if this is common for Alexa devices. Units were correctly set to miles & Fahrenheit, location was set automatically, but the time zone was set to Eastern. I'm on the West coast. ALARMS Setting timers and alarms via voice works well. Using the Alarm button is awkward at best. Hold it for two seconds to start. Use "+" and "-" to set a field, Alarm to move to the next field. Note that this can be glitchy. Once the alarm entry is complete, you must press "+" to save. The Lenovo will then start a new alarm entry, which seems like an odd design to me. Press nothing and you're done. Alarms & timers also appear in the Alexa app. VOICE I've never used Alexa before. It seems to work well enough. However, the Lenovo will have trouble hearing you if it's also playing music at a higher volume. Even when nothing is playing, it works better if you pause after saying "Alexa". OTHER For the paranoid, a factory reset (hold Alarm and "-" for 12 seconds) doesn't erase everything. Some settings persisted, even when the Lenovo was "deregistered" & removed from the Alexa app. The automatic screen dimming feature can't be disabled. After the first day, my unit started repeatedly setting the screen brightness to zero. Over and over, no matter what I did. FINAL Due to the screen dimming issue, I returned the clock.

wrong plug and voltage. Had to return which was very easy

Like this clock as the display is bright and clear

After 6 months not connecting to any Wi-Fi. so can`t use.
