HOUSBAY Sunrise Alarm Clock with White Noise Sound Machine – Wake-Up Light for Bedroom, 5 Gentle Alarm Sounds, 20 Soothing Sleep Sounds, Dimmable Display, Phone-Free Bedside Clock

I used to own the product this is similar to (the original when it first came out) and it was great, but unfortunately developed a weird noise issue and died for no apparent reason. I did not want to spend hundreds to replace it, most definitely did not want a subscription, and truthfully I primarily use it for its white noise feature to sleep, only occasionally for alarms. I was pleasantly surprised by this clock. It feels very lightweight and somewhat cheap to handle but I didn’t see any defects and it looks expensive. Being lightweight is probably a pro for some. I personally find it way more attractive than the clock it replaced. The speakers are also surprisingly decent quality (I tried and returned another similar clock that sounded awful) and I love the white noise. I also love that I was able to completely turn off the clock screen at all times, and it is dimmable is you wish to have the time displayed at all times. And even if it dies a year in, considering the price, I’d still be satisfied with its performance.

I don't do reviews ever but this alarm clock is so wonderful I'm making an exception. We don't even use the sound machine. The light by itself wakes us up gently without an obnoxious beeping or buzzing jolting us awake. You can set it to start getting light gradually for 5 to 30 minutes before it reaches full brightness and it turns off automatically after 30 minutes. If you rise at the same time every day you just set it and forget it. It was easy to set up and there are many options to choose from. We sleep in a pitch black room so it is a pleasure to be awakened by this awesome Sunrise light.

Price: The price is good but not great. I purchased this item because my apartment complex has very bright lights in the courtyard and parking garage. This light beams into my apartment and I can never tell when it is day or night. Throws my whole internal clock off. Quality: This product does exactly what it says. I have noticed on several occasions that I am waking up when the light is a bit half way to full "sunrise" and not before. That is a good sign so far. The item has a very nice shape, the quality of the light is fantastic. It is not LED bright right in your eyes, it is much softer yellow but very bright and shaded. I chose the bird sound, and the quality of the speaker is absolutely fantastic. I don't notice hard looping, but the variety of the bird calls are average so it is hard to tell. Functionality: The item is very easy to setup. All button are pretty intuitive. You can adjust the clock brightness, the brightness of the "sun light", the volume of the alarm sound. The only issue I have is there are no options to set weekday and weekend schedules. I have to wake up on weekdays much earlier than I would on the weekend. I would love to just set a schedule where on the weekend the birds don't chirp. It is easy enough to just turn off the sound on a Friday, but I don't want to have to think about it.

I have to get up early, in the dark, so I wanted to get a sunrise alarm, to wake up my body more easily. I tried two other sunrise alarms but had to return them. This one has a beautiful sunrise glow that adjusts over a timeframe of 5 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your preference. You can also add a wake-up alarm with natural sounds like birds, a flute, and more. The sunrise glow is a warm, enjoyable color, unlike some sunrise alarms with harsh white lights. This unit is very thoughtfully designed. I like the small footprint that doesn't take up much space. The round shape is aesthetically pleasing and reminds me of the rising sun. The clock is covered in fabric, so that the colors are muted, rather than a harsh glare on clear plastic. Both the light and the time display are dimmable. And I really love the simple, tactile buttons all across the top that are easy to find and differentiate in the dark. A bonus for me is the sound machine function, which helps to provide a wind-down routine before bed with various natural sounds or white noise. I can run the sounds manually or put them on a timer, so they turn off automatically. The ocean waves remind me of when I was a kid, going to the beach in the summer. There is also a nightlight function, which offers a wide range of solid colors or gradient/rainbow settings. I like using this while travelling to create mood lighting. The instructions were easy to follow and there is even a quick start card, for those who are visual learners. The unit is simple, elegant, lightweight, and even comes with a cloth bag to keep it clean and contained with its power charger. This is also convenient for travel. Suggestions for improvement: Make the sunrise setting available as a nightlight function, to simulate a sunset. An extra plug or two at the back of the unit for charging items would also be helpful. I'm really happy with this unit and waking up in the dark is so much better. Love all the features and it was well priced, so an excellent value.

The sunrise clock offers a refreshing start to your day with its natural light simulation feature, gently waking you up by mimicking a gradual sunrise. This budget-friendly alternative to higher-priced models maintains a sleek and modern design, making it a stylish addition to any bedroom decor. With customizable brightness settings, you can adjust the light intensity to suit your preferences, ensuring a more soothing wake-up experience. The clock also features a variety of ambient sounds, such as birds chirping or gentle waves, allowing you to wake up gently or choose your preferred alarm tone. Additionally, the clock displays the time clearly and includes a convenient snooze function for those mornings when you need just a few extra minutes. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to set alarms and adjust settings, making it suitable for all ages. We bought this for my daughter to use in her college dorm room. Overall, the sunrise clock is a practical and affordable option for anyone seeking a peaceful morning routine without compromising on quality or design. Its blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal makes it a standout choice for an energizing start to your day.

My biggest issue with the clock is the lack of alarm choices. The alarm/sunrise is the biggest reason I wanted to get a clock like this but there are only 5 alarm choices. On top of that all of the peaceful ones involve birds. There is a really good one that starts off great but then the birds come in. It’s just not enough choice. The machine has 20 sounds- I wish they could use them all as alarms. Even worse I thought they did. If you ask the AI feature above the review section how many alarm sounds there are it says “ The HOUSBAY Sunrise Alarm Clock has 20 different soothing alarm sounds to wake you up gently”. If that was true I would have kept this item. It is smaller than other options I have looked at but it would have served its purpose.

My daughter loves this She loves all the different sleep sounds The quality of the alarm clock is great It is a perfect size and has a decent weight to it (not lightweight or cheap feeling) She loves the sunrise feature on the alarm There is a little bit of a learning curve to get it to work properly but it is easy to use one you take the time to figure it out. All in all it is great and I'm so glad I got it for her!

Tricker to manage than my philips but once I figured it out it was great. There are a lot of options I don't use but I appreciate that there is a way to have the alarm stay active for the next day, the easy way to dim the brightness of the lamp, and the fact that you can choose how early you want the light to start before the alarm. It's also an attractive lamp.

I had been looking for something that would aid my sleep, I normally will put in a headphone and listen to ASMR or just white noise. this machine is great, it really does have a lot of features and options for lighting and the dial for the clock time is great! I turn it higher when I wake and lower to go to sleep. I have no complaints at all.

Très bonne qualité du produit, très très satisfait!

It's the right idea but so confusing to use. Really too bad that the functionality wasn't easier, feel as if I have to reference the manual every 3 days to remember all the variation of buttons that need pushing.

Love this, such a great alternative for more expensive alarm clocks

Good clock but can’t set nighttime routine
