Perfect clock, and sound machine. Not too complex, wonderful choice of sounds. I love that the display can be dimmed and you can have a choice of colored night light or not at all. I’m light sensitive at night so this was exactly what I wanted. It’s also not huge so it doesn’t take up a bunch of space on the night stand. It’s well built, seems durable and has usb, or electric plug capability. I sleep really well with the sounds and soft light. Read more

Nice sound machine easy to use. Nice to have a button to brighten the time or lower the brightness. Like the colors I can pick for the machine. Mine was not working after 2 weeks and I emailed the company and they sent a new one even though I purchased this from Amazon. Nice size not to big I can take it with me everywhere. Easy to set the alarm. Read more

Great alarm clock and sound machine! I got this to avoid having my phone in the room where I sleep. The sound machine feature is great, with tons of settings to choose from. There are not many alarm tones to choose from, but it does the job. One thing I did not anticipate is that when the alarm goes off it will automatically shut off the sound machine too, and you have to manually press resume on the sound machine if you want to snooze. Not my favorite feature but I suppose it's effective for actually making you wake up! I like that both the night light feature and the glow of the alarm clock can be dimmed all the way so that you have no extra light in the room. Great affordable option to minimize technology in the room while providing both sound machine and alarm clock features! Read more

I've been using this clock for several months now, and I mostly love it! The noise settings are awesome, and I love how you can choose a sound to wake you up in the morning. I especially LOVE the dimmer dial, so I can turn the light of the clock up or down. It's bright enough when turned up that it can almost serve as a nightlight, but I elect to turn it down as much as possible to the point you can barely see it in the dark (I like to have my room be pitch black). I do have a couple issues with it and that is why I've given it 4 stars instead of 5. My issues are: -When the alarm goes off in the morning and I either turn it off or hit snooze, I have to turn the white noise sound back on. I HATE the sudden silence when it turns off, so I've trained myself to find the right button to turn the sound back on while I'm still waking up. -I kind of wish all the buttons had little bumps to let you know where they are in the dark. Like when I want to turn the noise back on after I've snoozed the alarm—I have to feel around for a second to find the right button and I don't always press the right one. -The white noise sound while the clock is on snooze is louder than the original setting. Once the alarm goes off and I snooze it then turn the white noise back on it is pretty dang loud. I don't want to mess with the volume settings though, because I have the original white noise at the exact level I want it, so I just deal with it. Other than these, the clock is great! I plan to keep using it for the foreseeable future. Read more

We recently started using the Buffbee Sound Machine & Alarm Clock 2‑in‑1 and have been mostly impressed. The selection of white noise and nature sounds is versatile and easy to switch between, which helps us wind down at night without distracting controls or lights. The sound quality is rich and soothing and truly helps drown out street noise. The alarm clock feature is dependable and the gentle wake-up sound is much nicer than a jarring beep. The display brightness is adjustable and can be dimmed to avoid disrupting a dark room. Setting everything up was easy and intuitive. On the downside the larger buttons can be awkward in the dark until you get used to them and the battery backup doesn’t last very long without being plugged in. I also wish the unit had a USB charging port for phones because it does sit right next to our bed. Overall this is a great addition to any bedroom if you want a reliable sound machine with alarm features. It isn’t perfect, but its calming functionality and ease of use make it worth considering.

We love this clock! We were just making due with what we had, but we finally HAD to get a new alarm clock after waking up several times to the announcements of murder victims on the only radio station our broken down clock could pick up. Don't need to wake in a panic, thanks. We don't sleep with our phones or anywhere near them, and we always loved waking to nature sounds, so this was a no-brainer. Tons of nature sounds and doesn't hook up to phones, which is probably a good thing for these do not have amazing speakers. They're not terrible, but clearly not high end. We love the variety of sounds and while some could be better quality and they could use some deep ocean options, it's really serving its use with delight. We use the timer to listen to a crackling fire as we go to sleep in winter, which has been nice for covering up the sounds of gunshots and sirens (yaaay city life). Overall, our quality of sleep has improved greatly since getting this, even if it's slightly loud and grainy. Could use just one more click down for volume, but it's not the worst. The brightness of the numbers is a dial, which is so much better than button because it's truly customizable and less likely to wear down with time. Absolutely suits our needs and surpasses expectation. I will update if it stops working or reduces in quality. Update: It's been over 3 months now of constant use, and we still love this. Sleep to it every night. Unlike the negative reviews, we've never had any issues with the volume increasing or decreasing in its own, and we still have all controls for sound machine options. We never use the night light, so maybe that's why ours isn't fried. The light is tacky and useless, so I wouldn't recommend buying for the light anyway. I hope this lasts forever. It really hits our every need, and it's so compact. Read more
