    Customers like the appearance of the speakers. For example, they mention the wake-up disco lighting is cute, the display is nice, and the color bar is pretty cool. Customers also appreciate the brilliant lights for all features, the configurable multi-colored light effects, and useful information.

    Complicated for no reason
    If I had paid full price for the radio I’d return it. But I bought it used here on Amazon. Lots of things about this radio don’t make sense. Yes it’s supposed to be an Alexa radio but it’s clock/speaker 1st and foremost. The fact that the only way to set an alarm is by telling Alexa to do so is a super fail. It’s a clock. Why make the simplest of functions so hard. You can’t demo the volume of the alarm unless the alarms goes off. The Bluetooth works but the voice that lets you know it’s in parking mode is SUPER loud with no way to turn it down. You also can’t control the volume from your device if you’re streaming via Bluetooth. The sounds on the clock are nice, but you can literally hear the gap from the sound where they popped the sample every 15 second or so...super annoying. The fact that most of the features on this clock are tied up via an app that can only be connected via 2.4ghz WiFi is crazy. With so many gripes you may ask why is keeping it? It has color changing lights, and the big kid in me thinks that kinda cool. And it shows the time and let’s me play music via Bluetooth....and I didn’t pay full price. It does what I need it to do , but it’s complicated for no reason. At full retail I wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole.
