Homedics Sound Spaâ„¢ Premier SS-5000 Clock Radio

Pros: Nice blue projection. Atomic clock connection keeps time set 24-7.
Cons: expensive. Not very stylish.

This is the second projection clock I have owned. My first one broke and I selected this one because it projects the time on the ceiling in blue instead of red. The blue is much more soothing. I love having a projection clock because when I wake ...

Pros: Great display, both desktop and projector produce fine resolution under different light conditions
Cons: Atomic clock and remote sensor failed to operate.

I own a different Homedics soundspa projector units which workes fine (Non remote sensor). When I saw the one with outdoor temperature, I figured it would be a bonus. I like to partially wake and see if its below freezing outside this time of the year.

I was disapointed when the atomic clock failed to sync after two days, and the unit had to be set manually. To make matters worse, the remote sensor would only work if the remote sensor was 6 inches from the unit, which makes it useless.

I live in a remote area with poor AM and FM reception, and I have no opinion as to the radio part of this unit.

Consider one of Homedics SoundSpas without the remote sensor.

Pros: Atomic Clock, outside thermometer and ceiling light.
Cons: "Static" or buzzing sound in the background that overwhelms the nature sound.

I bought this clock for the background noises as I have trouble falling asleep.  The clock works well, and I love the atomic feature.  I also like the the light up feature where I can check the time if I want - and not have the clock shining at me all night.

My only problem is there is an irritating buzzing or humming noise in the background.  It is especially audible when your alarm goes off and when using the nature sounds.
