The First morning using it within the first hour the caps off the legs came off. Luckily were in the truck. They have now been superglue on.

My 3 year old likes to wake up before 6am so we gave this a try.  For the first week it worked great.  We followed the instructions as far as setting the wake time for about the time she wakes up naturally then pushed it back by 5 minutes each day until she was sleeping until our desired time.  We set up a sticker reward system too.  She was very excited about showing us that her sheep woke up and we made a big deal out of it to encourage her to keep it up.  But after the first week she decided she didn't care about the sheep or the stickers and started waking up and getting out of bed at 5:20am again.  We are going to try to move the wake time back to an earlier time and try again but not sure if you can really change an early riser.  She loves her new "clock" so we will keep it in her room anyway.  I like that this runs on batteries so we don't need to worry about plugs and cords.  I gave this 4 stars since she loves the clock and it did work for a little while.  Probably just my stubborn child and not the clock.

There was a problem with this unit the first day I used it. I returned it due to a malfunction of the air speed adjuster.

Impressive start meaning it worked well the first time. Plastic seems to you wear out I think the second or third bottle I tried to open I had a really difficult time doing.

This is a day 1 review so I can't share any information beyond my first impression but, wow, what a great first impression it is!  We have a young puppy who struggled initially with house training so 3 weeks ago I rented a professional carpet cleaner from the pet store and did all of my carpets.  The puppy then went in to be "fixed", reacted badly to the pain killers and left little surprises around the house so I used a home carpet cleaner that I borrowed to shampoo everything again.  Decided to make this purchase when just feeling like neither had really gotten the carpets as clean as I would have liked.  This arrived today and I did one room.  While not as dramatic as the ads show, there was a notable difference in the color of the carpet as I cleaned it and the water I dumped was filthy.  That's after cleaning them twice in the past 3 weeks!  I'm not crazy about the one way cleaning but do understand why it's necessary and will just get used to that.  Didn't notice anything else that was a con to this.  If I find anything of concern later, I'll update this post.

I am a light sleeper and generally do not need an alarm to wake up in the mornings. However I hate getting up before the sun and knew I would be struggling this winter having to get up in the dark. I received this a few days ago. The directions are not very clear, but I thought I figured them out ok. I set the alarm for 5:30am. The light is supposed to gently get brighter until the alam goes off a half hour later. The light came on at 25% at 5:00am and it immediately woke me up. By 5:20 I couldn't stay in bed any longer because it was too bright. My husband sleeps with a pillow over his head so he didn't even notice the light at all.
I knew I wouldn't need the alarm so I set it for radio and had it on no channel so it would be basically white noise. I also turned the volume way down. The alarm sounds to choose from didn't really impress me much.
The next morning the light never came on at all. I assume it had to do with me turning the light off before the alarm had a chance to sound on the first use. Since it was Friday I didn't really see any point in resetting it right away.
Saturday morning I woke at 5:20 to the radio sound. This was the first time I had heard it since I got the clock. It played the white noise for probably 30 seconds then stopped. It came on again at 5:30 only louder and longer. Again I had the volume as low as it could go so it never woke my husband at all. It was pretty easy for me to ignore and go back to sleep.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I think I will just shut the alarm off and then reset it for later on Monday morning. Since the light first comes on a half hour before the alarm, and the dimmest light wakes me up, maybe I will set it for 5:45 and then it will light up at 5:15. By 5:30 I should be ready to get up.
I like it but the light seems to be too much. If you are a light sleeper like me then it would probably be easier and cheaper to just get a lamp that has a 40 or 60 watt bulb in it and plug it in to a timer. The click of the timer and much dimmer light would be enough to wake me.
If however you are a much heavier sleeper and sleep with the pillow over your head you shouldn't even bother with this. My husband just thinks its a cool round clock that has a light in it. He has never noticed the alarm function, neither the light alarm, or the sound alarm. Of course if I used one of the alarm sounds instead of the static and turned the volume up he might have noticed.

After reading the reviews on Wal Mart and Amazon's websites, I decided to take a chance on this little beast (white, XP).
When I first started it up, it ran like a charm, but I quickly discovered that upon putting the computer into hibernate or standby modes, it would lose its wifi connections. And I mean lose. I couldn't turn on the wifi and the computer didn't even know it was there. I had to turn it off and restart it to get it to show up again.
I googled the problem, and apparently I wasn't the only one with the issue.
I read all kinds of threads about people having the exact same problem. I tried downloading drivers and changing settings, but nothing worked.
When I was about to give up, I downloaded ALL of the windows updates for the machine, including the optional ones, and from that point on, it has worked like a charm.
All of the positive reviews about everything else on here have been pretty accurate. Once you get the wifi working (something that's very important in my line of work) this little computer is amazing. It packs a lot of bang for its buck, and has been worth the initial 12 hours of frustration.
Just make sure the first thing you do is download those updates! If I have any more problems, I'll update the review. But so far, so good.
UPDATE: Still having wifi issues when I put the machine into hibernate. If I wait a while after putting it into hibernate the wifi is still there when it restarts, but if I restart it soon after hibernate, no wifi.
The machine runs pretty hot, especially when streaming content from the internet, so I think it may be an issue about the installed wireless card getting too hot and needing some cooldown time. Just a theory - I'm no computer expert.
I'm leaving the score at four stars because - although it gets kind of hot and there is a loud fan (not too loud as to be a big deal for me)- the computer still functions very smoothly and does everything I need it to do quite well.
Hopefully the heat it generates won't effect the hardware, but it hasn't been an issue so far.

I was a little dubious that this would actually wake me up but despite putting my alarm clock on the other side of the room, I have a terrible habit of hitting snooze and jumping right back into bed.  On top of having to rush to get to ready for work, my wife is a light sleeper and this habit greatly irritated her.  On weekends, I tend to naturally wake up when the sun rises so I hoped the light would help my body get started in the morning.

After 1 week I can safely say it works.  I tend to wake up feeling less groggy and I get right out of bed when the alarm goes off.  Some reviewers have complained about the small buttons but I find this isn't a problem.  If it had a snooze button the size of on iPhone it would be all too easy to use it.

I gave the product 4 out of 5 starts because I prefer an alarm that has an OFF button.  That allows you to leave the alarm on for the next day and you don't run the risk of forgetting to switch it back on before going to bed.  My previous alarm also had the ability to set alarms for M-Fr, Sa-Su, a feature I really liked.  For the cost of this alarm, it would be nice if a similar feature was included.

extremely easy to use! So glad I purchased this item! It heats up within seconds so it's perfect for use in the morning before work. I would definitely recommend this product
