Ratings & Reviews for Lenovo Smart Clock Essential Voice Assistant Screen Display Smart Hub in Grey

This one is a lemon

The temperature never updates. It shows 54 degrees when it's clearly 85 degrees outside. All other wireless items in my house function properly. This seems to be a lemon.

It's a fun "smartish" alarm

I bought this when it was a Lowes Deal of the day. The price was one I couldn't pass up. A big complaint I have though is when you set up a routine on your Google home app make sure you do a test run. From my phone I set it for an hour earlier than the actual time shows on the clock. That's annoying and even time change didn't help in March. The speakers are loud! Which is perfect because we are heavier sleepers. We set it to play music at full volume for our alarm. I do kinda wish we change t...

When its on sale its great

For full price I wouldn't buy it but at around 25 dollars its great. Its a clock radio that's also a google assistant with a temperature display. As far as alarms go it's good except for a lack of battery backup or your internet is down. Sound quality is ok , there is no bass to speak of but otherwise good.

The only thing I wish was different is that it’s difficult to snooze.

Nice bright display.

I know that one of the chief complaints about it is that if there's a power failure, there's no battery backup. For me, it's a non-issue because I have it plugged into a UPS that's serving other devices connected to it. I also have a UPS serving my fiber modem as well as other devices. I like that the brightness can be controlled, and that the temp is clearly displayed. The icon showing the weather is cute at best, as it can't be seen without getting about right in front of it. It's not ugly and...

Best little clock ever!

I absolutely love this clock. It's wonderful to wake up to the day's weather and listen to the most recent news while I ease myself into a new day. Wish I'd ordered more when it was the "deal of the day" as I'd love to give a few of these as gifts.

Not what I expected. I thought it was an alarm clock with auto time reset (time change) and you have to download the google app, the Lenovo app, etc. to even get to set it up. Pain in the neck. Still working on it as now I have to get wifi in the room that I wanted to use it.

Functional-ish

The clock is great for the most part. The display is crisp and easy to read with the time and temperature displayed. The Google features are very handy. I only wish that there were more controls of the clock features from within the Google Home app. To set an alarm, you have to tell Google to do it or else use the buttons on top. I would love to be able to set the alarm from the app on the phone. If I have to tell Google out loud to turn off the alarm, I am going to wake up the person next to...

Cool, but buggy

This is a neat product that I feel like Lenovo released as a beta then forgot about. If you use the alarm the night light comes on shortly before the alarm goes off, as a "feature" to help slowly wake you up (called Sunrise). Want to turn that feature off? Sorry, no option for that. Even better, when you cancel the alarm the light remains on so you have to say, "hey google, turn off the light" every day. Want to enable quiet hours for alerts? There is a setting for that, but if you have iOS de...

Beyond basic is basically disappointing

My fault for not thoroughly researching this product prior to purchase. That said, directions are sparse, alarm settings are a frustrating chore, and it's just a glorified google device with a clock. Bought it at a very nice promo price. Would be more disappointed has I paid full price. Even though it works, save your money.
