A Good Wakeup Clock
I have been using the GM-01 Model Sunrise Clock for about a month now.<br /><br />The unit is attractive and sturdy.  It was relatively easy to set up considering all of the different things that need to be set.  It took about three tries to get it right, but since then it was been working perfectly.  The light itself is quite bright and a very white light.  It was several nature sounds that can be used as an alarm.  While the fidelity of the sounds was pretty good, they are about 5 second sound loops and so not that enjoyable.  You can turn off the sound portion of the alarm by turning the sound to zero.  You can also adjust the maximum intensity that the light goes up to.  One feature not mentioned in the description is that the light will turn off on its own about 1 hour after the alarm setting, so you don't have to worry about turning it off or resetting the alarm for the next day.  Also nice is the snooze "button" which is really a light sensor on the side of the unit--you can turn on the snooze with a wave you your hand.<br /><br />Regretfully I have begun to sleep through it, but that may be because it is on the far side of the room.  Perhaps moving it closer to the bed will be more effective.  In any case, it is nice to have the room light when I need to get up.
