Lenovo - Smart Clock Essential 4" Smart Display with Google Assistant - Soft Touch Gray

I like the fact it's small and it shows me the temperature where I don't have to look it up before heading out.

This is a great little device and I love it. It wakes me in the morning and all I have to do is speak to it in order for the alarm to turn off. It’s convenient when I’m laying in bed and want to know the weather, the score of last nights Bruins game or current news. The built in night light really helps at night too. I visited a friend in Las Vegas who had it, and when I returned home I purchased it for myself. Great device, great gift, at a great price. Highly recommend

This is a fantastic smart alarm clock featuring the incredible Google Assistant at an unbelievable price. Some wonderful features include the night light on the back (just hold the volume down button to turn it on or off or say “Hey Google turn on/off the night light”), the temperature and weather displayed on the backlit (non-touch) screen, the beautiful woven cloth design, and of course the wonderful Google Assistant, whose voice can be changed in the easy to use Google Home app, where you can control all your Google home compatible devices. Easy to set up and no reason not to buy! Pair it with a Logitech Harmony Hub, or Harmony Home Hub, and control your entertainment devices, and other Harmony compatible devices.

Bought on a whim, love it. Coolest little clock I ever owned. It even tells me jokes.

I love this product. Smart alarm clock! It is what I have been waiting for. The coolest feature is that is has a night light that you can just ask to turn it on! It is not touch screen, which I like and the display is no bright which is perfect for the bedroom.

I’ve had my clock for a few years now and it has been my life saver lol I love this alarm clock. I’ve never had one issue with my clock, even through power outages, it comes right back on and stays programmed

OK it took me nearly 2 weeks to figure out why a smart clock wouldn't set an voice command alarm. It's a Google bug, not the product's fault. Here's how I fixed it: 1) check your location by saying "hey Google what's my location" obviously middle of the Atlantic Ocean was not correct. 2) set new location address in your Google Home App, change the title from "Home" to let's say your neighborhood name. Mix up the address so things are slightly different but it's still your address. Ex: St. becomes Street, N. becomes North etc... 3) port over your previously added smart devices under the new location. Add them to the desired room in your new location. Don't worry all of your previous smart device preferences will port over. 4) make your new neighborhood title location your new home location. 5) Say "hey Google set at alarm for 9 AM." Worked like a charm. 6) delete original "Home" location. Note: to get back display auto brightness, do a hard reset on the clock (hold both volume down + alarm button) for 12 seconds, follow voice message. Never use a voice command to adjust the screen brightness again. Really hope Lenovo fixes this with a software update as the clock is still very bright in a dark room.

When I unboxed the Lenovo Smart Clock I was taken by surprise on how small the unit was. It still manages to be big enough for the display to be readable at night from a couple of feet. Now before I played anything back I was expecting sound quality to be on the tiny side. I was actually caught off guard on how loud it can get. Compared to the Google Mini it’s almost a night a day difference. At loud volumes it still manages to stay crisp not like the Google Mini that distorts at high volumes. There is no bass so if you’re expecting at least some bass you will be disappointed. Even without the bass it is still good enough to fill a room with music. Mics performed well and had no issues getting a response at high volumes. I also had no issues casting music from apps like Spotify, iHeart Radio and Pocketcast. On the back you do get a USB port to charge your devices. With Google Assistant onboard it makes it so easy to find out what the weather will be, set a reminder or alarm and control your smart home devices too. Pros: Google Assistant Improved sound quality over the Google Mini Big bright readable screen that shows temperature, time and date. 3 levels of brightness setting Very small footprint. Overall If it came down to the Lenovo Smart Clock or the Google Mini I would say go for the Lenovo instead. You get a display that shows useful information throughout the day and produces a much more nicer sound. At the current price you’re getting a lot more bang for your buck. “Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews
