Not what I wanted
I had the same complaints as some others. The backlight is too bright to keep on at night. So you have to turn it off and then you don't know what time it is. The light is not like the sun rising. It is like someone turned on the light in the room. The sounds are not very good and when you hit the snooze button the light never comes back on. So what good is it to gradually wake up if you have to wake up the first time around. I am returning this item and going to try another one. The only good thing I liked about it was the snooze was an eye that you waved your hand in front of instead of fumbling around for a button. I really liked the clock I had before which was a Hammacher Schlemmer Peaceful Progression Aromatherapy. I didn't care for the aromatherapy part but the sounds were great and the light was great. When you pushed the snooze button the light would come on gradually again. The only problem is mine only lasted about 3 years and then started to make a high pitch sound from something inside the clock.
