Our review
Waking up to a harsh alarm ruins your morning before it starts. This sunrise alarm clock gradually fills your room with warm light over 10-60 minutes, simulating a natural sunrise. By the time the alarm sound starts, you are already half-awake and alert — not startled.
Beyond the sunrise, it is a full sound machine with 30 sleep sounds (rain, ocean, birds, white noise, lullabies). A Bluetooth speaker lets you play your own music. Colour-changing mood lights cycle through 16 million colours or hold steady on a calming hue. Dual alarm with day-of-week selection handles weekday/weekend schedules.
The wood grain design looks attractive on a nightstand. Dual USB-C and USB charging ports keep your phone charged without cluttering the bedside. 20-level brightness control for the clock display.
The downsides: the clock display brightness at its lowest may still bother light-sensitive sleepers. 6% one-star includes some setup confusion and units with inconsistent light timing. No app control (newer version adds this). And the backup battery only retains settings — it will not sound the alarm during a power outage. But at $29 for a sunrise clock + sound machine + Bluetooth speaker + mood light, the value is exceptional.

FAQ
How does the sunrise simulation work?
You set a duration (10-60 minutes). The light gradually increases from darkness to full brightness before your alarm time. By the time the alarm sounds, the room is already bright.
Can I use it as just a sound machine without the alarm?
Yes — the sound machine runs independently with a timer (minutes to hours). Use it for sleeping without setting any alarm.
Does it play my own music?
Yes — connect via Bluetooth and play music from your phone, tablet, or laptop through the built-in speakers.
Will the alarm go off during a power outage?
No — the backup battery retains your settings but does not power the alarm or light. The clock will resume normal operation when power returns.
