This is the perfect little Google Assistant speaker for any nightstand. Would it help you save some room and replace an old alarm clock?

@its_sweet16_therandom46 3 года назад

Good sandwich joke 😄

@hiattech 3 года назад

I use the Google hub to replace my clock but a couple weeks ago I did get one of these for each of my kids for a simple clock with RU-vid music, night light, and ability to broadcast to them as needed. It works great.

@TheMediacenterpc Год назад

I watched a few videos on this thing on RU-vid, you are pretty much the ONLY person who showed how it would look like in a dark room. Considering its main use is in a bedroom, I cannot say how grateful I am to you for showing that important aspect. Many thanks, subscribed ! :)

@MillenniumFalcon 2 года назад

Thanks Brett. I love your helpful instructions. Nearly drove myself crazy trying to figure out how to adjust display brightness on this clock until I saw your tips.

@divineoracle4809 2 года назад

I've had 2 of the regular Lenovo Smart Clock's with the touch screen. They've been great for use in areas such as the living room and kitchen. In the bedroom, they were good but were just too intrusive while sleeping. We recently bought a couple of these Essential clocks for the bedroom and they're a lot better for this application. The night light does come in handy, as well as the charging port on the back. It's just flat out simple and less intrusive in terms of blue light. It has all of the same Google features as the screen version has, you can adjust your lights and gadgets, you can ask it questions etc. They're great!

@Hokage2001 Год назад

This the answer I was looking for lol I was debating which one to get and you made my decision clear, thank you!

@MacGyv3r Год назад

How bright are the light from the numbers at night? It doesn't seem that it's possible to dim that like the LED "assistant light". And that's probably a deal breaker for me.

@ericbonanno5214 3 года назад

During the audio test, I think the smart clock essential and the nest mini would be a great speaker group. They compliment each other well for a much clearer and fuller sound. It's something to hear in person though to confirm.

@hiattech 3 года назад

Found these after your review of the touch screen version of this and they were on sale for 50% off so I grabbed 4 and put one in each kids room and one in the living room (we don't actually have a clock in there otherwise). These work great. My daughter loves the nightlight and having music she can listen to at night. We are just getting into the smart home setup so these were a great, cheap option.

@TechWithBrett 3 года назад

Glad they have worked out so well!

@chrisdell4186 2 года назад

Nice review! I bought one of these after watching this review and am relatively happy with it. It does seem to struggle a bit with hearing me (I have turned the sensitivity up but I still have to talk louder than I'd like) but it has been a good addition to my bedroom. I like the ability to control my bedside lamps and my fan without having to pick up my phone. The nightlight and USB port are great features. It's affordable too if you can get it on sale - I wouldn't have bought it at full price.

@metalheadmalta 3 года назад

@119Agent 3 года назад

I have had this since December and it is a really great upgrade from the Google Home mini in everything but sound. I already had an alarm clock so combining two devices has saved some desk space and programing the alarms is very easy.

@LoganT547 3 года назад

Yeah I got my Smart Clock (with screen) on Christmas and I also noticed the sound quality is a little lesser, but honestly for general listening it's fine but definitely not as good as even a Home Mini.

@daveschmarder-1950 3 года назад

I probably would have known all this, if I had read the instructions. But with Tech with Brett, I don't have to read the instructions. Thank you! I have one of these. The clock is easy to read, even with my glasses off. I have the mic muted and sound turned down all the way as I have a Nest Mini to do my Google stuff. To me this is only a clock. I don't use alarms because I am retired. :) I did have to change the room because during my good morning routine, it would say that the bedroom clock couldn't do something. I banished it to a made up room. I bought mine at Best Buy for $25 when they had them on sale. I would recommend it to others.

Thanks for the review! Two questions I had was if one is able to automate the nightlight at all? Say, I need to get out of bed at night, is there a motion sensor there? Or, could I have another motion sensor in the room trigger that nightlight? Also, is there an ambient sensor that helps dim the clock automatically at night? Thanks!

@PP-pf5ex 2 года назад

Let’s say you have an alarm set for 7am, you perhaps wake up before the alarm at 6.45am, how do you disable the 7am alarm without speaking and waking up your partner? Is there a simple button (combination) you press to disable just today’s alarm? Seems though this (basic) traditional alarm clock feature is missing?

I have the old one with the display, somtimes it loses wifi and it cannot connect again unless i drag out the power cable and connect it again. This makes so if i have a alarm it will not ring on the morning. What about this clock, if it loses wifi can it go without wifi?

@pjuk 3 года назад

Good review. Bought one of these in start of year sale in the UK was only GBP20, bargain. Great next to bed, only thing to note is clock is too bright even on 1% to sleep with, like a white floodlight. Nothing a neatly cut piece of gray plastic didn't fix! With an update recently you can set it turn screen off completely at a set time of the day but kinda makes clock a bit pointless then, but it will come back on when you say hey Google.

@johnstockelman5007 3 года назад

A simple Goolge search... How do you snooze on a Lenovo smart clock? How to snooze or stop an alarm? After an alarm sounds, you can tap or press any button (except alarm setup button) to enable snooze mode. Your alarm clock will sound again several minutes later (10 minutes by default). To stop an alarm clock, short press the alarm setup button or use a voice command.

@@MacGyv3r To be honest, that was 9 months ago, and I'm not 100% sure what I was referring to. However, you can set the brightness of the numbers with a voice command: "Hey Google: set screen brightness to 0%" (0% turns them off completely).
