Product as advertised - I have the blue and love the color - very soothing. I really like the moon beam feature as a night light and even though I am a light sleeper it is not so bright that it disrupts my sleep.
I cannot honestly say this alarm clock makes it a pleasure to wake up in the mornings, however, being awaken by its bell is much less jarring than my digital clock alarm. The backlite face takes it easy to see the time should I need or want to during the night. The backlight can be turned off should I want less light in the room while sleeping. Love it!
