Suspended Animation Clock- Silver w/ BLUE LED Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Product is made of very cheap plastic. While active, the unit shakes quite a bit. The actual blue LED is kind of cool, but after a couple minutes it's very annoying and it's near impossible to see at a distance. There is no on/off switch, only unplugging and doing so causes the date/time/custom messages to be erased. Wish I wouldn't have destroyed the box or I would return it. Now I'm stuck with a paper weight that will never be turned on again.
I do not recommend this product at all.

Moshi IVR001 Voice Control Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Maybe I have a different version of this clock than other reviewers BUT
- you CAN change the volume, the buttons are on the back and there are three settings
- you CAN change the night light from single to multi so you don't have to have a disco show
- yes, there are only three sleep sounds but they last 15 minutes, not 5. Granted they are not the best, but this clock was really not made for that and would probably do best by eliminating that feature
until it is fine tuned.
- you have to speak the commands exactly as directed or you will get errors. For example, you have to say "hello Moshi" and then "set alarm" NOT "set the alarm" or it will not understand the command and do nothing.
- I would like the option of setting the nightlight to a preferred color however.
- the nightlight colors are a little too bright, but gorgeous!
- if you don't have the nightlight on in the dark, you can't see the clock. How could this have been overlooked when making this clock?
- It is made of plastic but I don't think it looks cheap. I have never had a glass alarm clock before so why should this one be different?
- it is made in such a way that if you have cats, like I do, walking around your nightstand they cannot change the settings or turn your radio on jolting you awake. This is priceless to me!
You do not have to listen to a full explanation every time you set it unless you pause too long after saying giving a command. If you wait too long, it will give you an explanation. One in a while it will confuse a command or a time set but it is rare for me. In fact, I make far more errors on clocks I have had to manually set than this clock has.
If you plug it in the wall, the unit operates by voice command but the alarm will shut off by touch or voice. If you install batteries, you can operate everything manually from the back buttons but it is not practical because they are very small. You can turn the alarm clock off by touch regardless if it running on batteries or is plugged in.
Do I think there is room for improvement? Of course!
Is it worth the $49.95? For me it was!

Moshi Reflection Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Moshi alarm clock for my wife. The phone appeared to work ok, sometimes it did not recognize commmands. It had trouble hearing my wifes voice for some reason. The outside temp unit did not work. Sent the clock back and still waiting for my replacement. And still waiting... I have called Brookstone 4 times in the past 4 weeks wondering where my replacement is. They keep telling me, every time I call, that they will go ahead and send it out. I have given up. The service with Brookstone is worse than the product.

iTalk Clock with Voice Command Response LED Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very happy with this product. As I was saying in the video, I compared the reviews to the Moshi Talking Alarm Clock (that you can also find on Amazon) but so many people were unhappy with the forced disco night light. The iTalk, on the other hand, is just your run of the mill alarm clock with the added function of voice commands which is all I wanted. I really like being told "Good morning, it is 8:30 AM" instead of being bombarded with an annoying sound but if you want the nerve wrecking sounds, you can still have it. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I had no trouble at all getting iTalk to understand what I'm saying as you can clearly hear in the video.
I would recommend this product to anyone lacking dexterity such as senior citizens and I would also recommend this product to anyone who just likes neat toys and/or being lazy.
The one feature I would like to see is the ability to disable the alarm with your voice if you wake up before the alarm sounds. As of right now, the only way to do that is to manually flip the switch in the back. Although, if you /wait/ until the alarm sounds, you can easily just say "Alarm Off".I hope my video helps you make an informed purchase.

Moshi Voice Controlled Talking Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: First, I want to say, once set, it's great for someone who just wants to say "Time" and hear it, and the unit looks great. Cons:1) SETTING THE TIME WAS DIFFICULT. (I bought the regular full-size Moshi.) I speak clearly and distinctly, and there were no other sounds in the room. I said "10:20 a.m." and Moshi kept setting various times, like "6:04" which sounds nothing like 10:20. On the 12th try, Moshi set the correct time, and I said well, at least now that the time is set, it'll be a long time before I have to go through that again...but as I pushed it back further on the table, the plug fell out again, and had to re-set the time; but this time, I put the BATTERIES IN FIRST, and after another 15 tries, and 6 plug fall-outs, the time was set, and no matter how many times the back plug fell out, the batteries kept the time. Hallelujah! 2)THE LITTLE PLUG IN THE BACK FALLS OUT CONSTANTLY, it just doesn't click in and hold in place. This led to the discovery of a 3rd problem: 3) THE VOICE RECOGNITION DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IF IT'S ON BATTERY ALONE. I noticed that each time the cord fell out so easily, Moshi said "Voice Trigger Mode has been DISABLED." And when plugged back in, Moshi immediately announces, "Voice Trigger Mode is ENABLED." Apparently, when the plug is out, it still keeps the time with the batteries, but it can't operate the voice recognition. Sure enough, the directions confirm this. So, if you have the plug-falling-out problem, you better duct-tape it into the back like I did if you want to use the voice trigger mode.
(note: there is a Mini-Moshi travel size that works on battery only- so I guess it operates on Touch-Trigger only). 4) TOUCH TRIGGER IS NOT SENSITIVE - The Touch mode on the center top of the display sometimes works after a series of light touches (waiting for response after each touch), but most times you have to keep pressing it rather strongly, (again waiting for response after each press); ... usually only a hard press works, but since I figure this would break it fairly quickly, I opt to keep it plugged in and use the voice trigger mode only.
I bought this for my mother age 90 who can't see clocks (macular degeneration), and so after explaining she should just say "Hello Moshi" and when it lights up green and says "Command Please" all she has to do is say "Time" and the voice is loud and clear with the time. Works great this way, so I'm happy with it. Since the touch mode really doesn't really work well, I didn't even tell her about it. (Can't comment on Alarm function, we don't need it).

So, Tips: Put Batteries in First before setting time, etc.
Moshi can only hear you when it is green (when it's dark, it's only listening for "Hello, Moshi"; You must say `Hello Moshi" before asking it anything. You can stop Moshi from talking and go back to rest by saying "Cancel." To stop the night light from cycling colors and stay on one, there's a switch in the back for "Multi" or "single" color. When it's plugged in and set to IVR on the back, the unit will accept both Voice (IVR) or Touch triggers, but voice-command trigger only works when plugged in.
