We absolutely LOVE this thing. It's so nice to be able to look up at
the ceiling and know what the time is and whether to pull the covers up
tighter and snuggle a little longer. I've had a projection alarm before
that was in a blue light. It was so bright you could read by it and I
found myself covering it up to block the light. This one has a soft red
light that doesn't burn your retinas through your eyelids. We live in a
very cold climate, this winter even more so than usual. Being able to
see the outside temperature without having to even roll over has been
nice. The only issue is if the electricity is turned off you have to
set the temp sensor again. Other than that, it's so great my husband
wants to get them as Christmas presents for his employees next year.

I love projection alarm clocks and was excited to get one that allows me
to view outdoor temp and time via projection. I have been disappointed
with this clock though.
First, at night I can only see what time it is on the ceiling. The blue backlight only comes on if you hit any button and stays on for a few seconds, otherwise there is no backlighting on this clock. So if you wake up in the middle of the night and are facing the clock you have to roll over onto your back to view the projection on the ceiling or hit a button to view the numbers on the clock itself. There is no way to adjust the settings to have the backlight stay on. This is a poor design and should be redesigned to give you the option to have the clock lit at night.
Second, the buttons on the front of the clock that are used to turn on the alarm clock and make adjustments require that you hit them multiple times for them to work. Plus it is really akward to hit the buttons on the front of the alarm clock while you are lying in bed. At least the snooze is on the top, is easy to hit, and is responsive each time you hit it.
Overall, I like that I can see the outdoor temp and time on my ceiling but wish the buttons were more responsive, were not on the front of the clock, and wish it had backligting so it can be viewed at night without hitting a button. I would buy a different clock if I could do it again.
