Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Homedics Envirascape Sound Spa Alarm Clock Radio
Customer Review: small display
Summary: 2 Stars
pros:- good radio reception
- better sound quality than most clock radios at same price
cons:
- clock display is too small, hard to read in either of the clock's postions, laying down or standing up.
- natual sounds really do sound like static.
Customer Review: Broke within minutes!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for our guest room, primarily for the sound spa. My daughter visited, and set up the machine. She got a soothing sound for about 30 minutes, but then it quit. She assumed that she had set the timer by accident, but could not get the sound to come back on.
She tried the next morning, but gave up. I tried several times over the next two days, but could not get any sounds, either the sound spa or the radio. The clock was working, and the "sound" button would cause the display to show different sounds--but not a sound from the machine! The "on-off" button (which is supposed to light up when on) does not seem to be working. I tried all new batteries, plugged in or battery power, etc., but it is not working at all.
I am very disappointed. In my own bedroom, I have an inexpensive Phillips clock/soundspa that has been working flawlessly for at least 10 years, playing sounds all night, every night! I wish I could find that model for sale.
Customer Review: Not Worth It
Summary: 1 Stars
I have the same problems with the display, etc. as everyone else mentioned, plus I would like to add the following:
1. Buttons require too much force to press down and are awkward;
2. Radio and nature sounds share the same volume knob, which means if you turn the nature sounds down a bit and your alarm is set for radio or buzzer, you may not hear your alarm in the morning (this happened to me and made me late to work);
3. The only way to 'un-set' the alarm is to cycle through all sound settings;
4. The Snooze button and the sound On/Off button are right next to each other and similar in shape, meaning you can very easily turn the alarm sound off instead of hitting Snooze as intended (this also happened to me).
I strongly dislike this item and am sending it back. The sounds and FM reception are OK, but it is very poorly designed and not worth the money.Customer Review: Save your money

I bought this unit to use only for the sound function.I have ringing in my ears and need white noise playing in the background in order to help me sleep. I use the sound "Falls"
I am already on my second unit after 10 days of use. The 1st unit was returned after 5 days because the unit will not stay on all night even though the timer is set to "0" , which according to the owners manual, will keep the sound playing continiously until you manually shut it off. However, it turns its self off every night, sometimes after 3 hours sometimes it will go 6 hours and then shut off and when it does, I wake up ! Both units have done this so I have no faith in this product.
I am going to return this unit (the 2nd one for me)and get my money back.
Customer Review: sorry, but this is junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't like to be negative, but will be just possibly to save anyone else from wasting their money. I agree that the sounds were good, but these are available on so many other products. If you used it only for the sounds, perhaps you won't be totally disappointed. Similar to a previous reviewer, my stand broke as well (and you basically have to lay it flat without a stand - it would be tough to repair given it's construction). Furthermore, the radio tuner is terrible. I receive a strong signal to a particular station, but it kept drifting in and out of static on this radio because the tuning band is so narrow. That was really irritating. Finally, the clock did not even keep proper time; it was off about 15 minutes per month. Hope these comments help.
