I really wanted to like this projection clock. It looks great and has several very nice features. Unfortunately it looks much better than it works.
I have had two of these in the last week. The first one that I brought home wouldn't receive FM transmissions very well, the tuning wheel is not marked, so tuning is by guess and by golly. I managed to tune it by using a portable radio and getting matching stations. Once tuned, the display became a fascinating presentation of seemingly random numbers. The numbers are not the numbers of the tuned station and vary from 71.0 to 102.6. After a bit the numbers stabilize and the display returns to the time (which is accurate).
The second one seemed to be OK for tuning, that is the numbers were stable even though not the numbers to which it was tuned...today it began the random number generation that the first one had from the beginning. The FM signal fades in and out as you walk around the room.
The clock face is quite bright, but I tamed it with some widow tinting film. The projection of time and temperature is very bright and the light around its edges lights up the room like the full moon. It is bright enough to cast shadows. I tried various means to control the excess light (paper towel tubes, more window film, etc.) but nothing works. I really need a dark room when trying to sleep.
The unit is very light, and pushing any of the buttons on the front require that you hold it still; by doing this, you press one or more of the many buttons on the back which causes some interesting but unintended actions.
The sending and or receiving of the outside temperature is sporadic. Some times is will be off for a few hours and then redisplay; some times I must bring the sending unit into the house to get the display back (the sender is less than 20 feet away with only one wall between it and the base).
I really wanted to like this unit, it looks real nice and has many of the functions that I want...unfortunately it doesn't work very well...it goes back to Bed Bath and Beyond tomorrow...my search for the ideal projection clock continues.

My wife got one of these by saving up gym reward points.
It has two settings for brightness which are "half the room is illuminated" and "the entire room is illuminated" - I have to put a book in front of the thing some nights to sleep.
I played a game one month called "why didn't I wake up today" in which this clock was primary and my old free bank clock I've had for 20 years was secondary. Some highlights were:
Although the volume was up, something must have touched the knob because it was somehow off but touching it made it work.
No idea - alarm was set, showed set, was awake and watched as the time went right on through and the alarm never went off.
The alarm just turned itself off one night.
The projection time and temp do not rotate 180 degrees - this means that if you have the clock at the head of your bed facing you, and you for some reason want the info projected to your ceiling, well, it's going to be off.
The remote sensor sort of works... if the temperature is between 50 and 72 out you've got a good chance of it being right on. Outside of that range and you're screwed... woke up one day and it said it was 54, it was snowing. I put my hand where the sensor was outside and it was 20's at most. I looked at the sensor and it said somewhere around 30, the clock said 54, yeah, useful.
If the remote sensor is more than 8 feet away the thing will stop working in about a day
The sounds that this thing has are short-sequence loops, meaning you can predict exactly what the next sound will be after listening to it for a minute. This may not annoy you as much as it does me, but I need some randomness to my white noise, not repeating computer generated patterns.
The ideas here are good, but it's made cheaply, it doesn't properly function as an alarm clock (we have our phones set now all the time to wake us) that's about it. If you're considering purchasing one, I'd advise you didn't, but if you still want one contact me I'd love to see this thing go but the wife does not want it chucked.

I really liked the design and offered features. I gave it a month and had several issues.
1. The display is very bright in a dark room.
2. The base and angles of the buttons are not stable. Every time you depress a button the clock slides.
3. The volume and radio tuner dials on the side are very sensitive. They move at the slightest touch.
4. The volume dial has spots where you completely lose any sound.
