Works well for sunrise, not much else
Pro:<br />- It does one thing reasonably well: turns a light on slowly at a specified time<br /><br />Con:<br />- It does a bunch of other stuff poorly<br /><br />I had one of these for about 8 years until a power surge killed it. I won't be buying a replacement. It did the one thing I wanted, but outside of the sunrise light, it just has...quirks:<br />- It either loses or gains time, I think based on ambient temperature<br />- Occasionally, it just reverts to a 30 minute wake up sequence instead of the 15 I set it to<br />- The white noise has patterns in it that you'll eventually hear and fixate on, rendering it useless<br />- The white noise also has no volume control, I had to put it on a sweater to make it quieter<br />- It takes 10-20 button presses to change the alarm time from 7 am to 7:30, and that's not counting the button presses to change the minutes<br /><br />You get all of this for about $115, way too expensive for what it actually does.
