Pros: Multi-function electronic
Cons: Time can be changed too easily

I received the Homedics Sound Spa for my birthday. I've only had it for about a week now, and in that short time, I've found this uniquely shaped device to be a fairly useful electronic. > MAIN FEATURES 1. Illuminated Clock 2. ...

Pros: Simple to use, relaxing sounds.
Cons: Easy controls make it easy to mess up your settings.

I originally purchased the clock radio for as a noise machine to help our daughter sleep. She became very accustomed to hearing a humidifier in her room, and we decided that this was a much more economical option to provide background noise in her room. ...

Pros: Once you read the manual, alarm settings are easy to do.
Cons: The design is too space-ship looking and takes up space on a dresser. Not compact.

The projection-on-screen timer was what attracted me to the Homedics clock/radio. Are you like me? When you wake up sometimes, you don't know what day and time it is? You lay in bed thinking - this is Monday, no it's Wednesday, and it goes on like ...

Pros: Easy to set the time.
Cons: Easy to set the time.

Well, it sure is easy to set the time on this unit... so easy that God help you if you reach over to press a sound button, or the timer button and unwittingly touch the Hour button and change the time without knowing! So I'm up early this morning with ...

Pros: Great sounds, nice feature (projected time), easy to set, smaller than I thought.
Cons: Time can be changed easily, needs separate volume for beep alarm.

Yes, as one other reviewer said...it is easy to change the time (Homedics should really put a 'lock' on that), but besides that...I love the nature sounds. They are wonderful and very realistic. I love to fall asleep to the sound of rain. However, I ...

Pros: good variable direction projection
Cons: nature sounds not natural, repeated Sounds every 5 seconds Clock gained 5 min/ 2 weeks.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas '06 because she wanted a projection clock with nature sounds. As several other folks have mentioned, the sound clips were way too short and weren't really natural sounding. The waterfall was just white noise. The sounds don't slowly come up to volume either, they are either on or off with the alarm. The part of the clock she liked the best was the ceiling display. Unfortunately, the clock would gain 5 minutes in the span of two weeks so I returned it to the store Feb 2 07. I'm still currently searching for a suitable replacement that has a projection clock, a CD (to play my own content of waves, birds, etc. from other CDs) and gradually increases the volume.

Pros: variety
Cons: none yet

Great sounds! Blocks out other sounds. The blue ceiling projection is movable and very soothing. I had a tough time finding where to get this, but finally found lots of them at Bed Bath & Beyond. $29.99 3/2005.

Pros: Simple to operate.
Cons: None as of yet

I bought this as Xmas gifts for my 3 nephews and my 2 kids.
They all like it, so I bought one for myself. I love it. It is really easy to operate and the sound quality is really good. It is neat having the time projected on the ceiling so you do not have to roll over to see the time. I also consider it to be a good night light. All of the kids I bought it for have trouble sleeping, so the soothing sounds will help them.
