Loftie Alarm Clock with Sound Machine – Smart Alarm Clock with Night Light, White Noise, Bluetooth Speaker, 100+ Sounds Included Free, No Subscription Required, Blackout Mode- Black

If there's anything in this world that could be considered a "necessary evil" it's the bedside alarm clock. I personally HATE waking up to either the radio or that nasty incessant beeping. People hate these devices so much that there have even been variations on them that allowed the user to throw it across the room in order to turn it off. That said, with the advent of the cell phone innovation in this area has pretty much ended. Enter the Loftie Clock. This beautifully minimalist alarm clock is life changing. The whole experience will make your day better. First, there's the two stage alarm. One to lightly rouse you, one to signal you to wake up. Snoozing the alarm is as intuitive as any other alarm clock (just hit the big wide button). So is ending the alarm sequence. The alarm tones are beautiful, and non-jarring. They will wake you up without making you mad. Then there's the bedtime experience. Several types of noise are provided (white, brown, etc) as well as soundscapes such as a beach or crickets. Once again, all are painstakingly crafted, not just "recorded" and the sound quality is amazing. If I had one complaint it's that the speaker that is built into these clocks can't handle the depth of the sounds. It does the job to play the sounds, but loud volumes can make the speaker squeak. That said, I like the clock so much I've bought them for the entire family.

The Loftie Smart Alarm Clock is a game-changer for anyone seeking a more mindful morning routine. This elegantly designed device combines modern technology with a serene aesthetic, creating a perfect addition to any bedside table. From the moment you unbox the Loftie, you can tell it’s not just an alarm clock—it’s an experience. The soft, warm light it emits is a welcome alternative to harsh smartphone screens, gently easing you into your day rather than jolting you awake. Its two-phase alarm system, designed to wake you gradually, is a revelation. The first phase stirs you from your slumber with soothing sounds, while the second ensures you’re fully awake and ready to start your day. The Loftie doesn’t just wake you up; it helps you wind down. With features like white noise, guided meditations, and breathwork exercises, it’s like having a wellness coach right on your nightstand. The absence of distracting notifications is a refreshing change, promoting better sleep hygiene and reducing bedtime screen time. Connectivity is straightforward, with easy-to-follow instructions making setup a breeze. Plus, the minimalist design and high-quality materials mean it looks as good as it performs. Whether you’re seeking better sleep, a more peaceful wake-up, or simply a stylish addition to your bedroom, the Loftie Smart Alarm Clock is a delightful choice.

I wanted to love this clock based on the many good reviews and beautiful minimal aesthetics of the clock, but unfortunately it is a grossly overpriced piece of cheap technology made to break just outside of the warranty period, and Loftie's Support department will do nothing to help you. I purchased my clock in November of 2022, and it was fine for about 6 months. At that point, it began losing time and disconnecting from my wifi about once every week or two. Annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. September rolled around around, and it began losing time constantly (reconnecting the clock to the wifi every day or every other day). For a $150 clock this is completely unacceptable and unsustainable, so I reached out to their Support email (9/7/2023) for assistance. After several weeks of back and forth troubleshooting (just about the entire month of September), their support rep Kelvin promised me on 9/29/2023 to send me a replacement Loftie clock when they "received new stock" in October... ...Except they never sent the replacement clock. On 2/19/2024 my Loftie clock finally died completely (cannot even reconnect it to my phone - it just sits stuck on "wifi cannot connect" and "go to app to set up" screens and can never move farther) - it is now a $150 paperweight. I reached back out to Loftie's support email explaining the situation, and mentioning that I had never been sent my promised replacement. Kelvin responded back on 2/20/2024 saying he was sorry, and would ensure that a replacement clock was sent out that same day. I requested they provided me with the tracking number to not have a repeat of my never-sent replacement in October, and Kelvin assured me that I would get it. It is now 2/26/2024, and I still do not have my replacement clock. I've been trying to get an update from Loftie's Support team via the email chain I've had, and they are completely ignoring me and no longer responding to my correspondence. I've emailed them last week and today, and have also reached out via their website's Chat feature to no avail. I can only suspect that there was never any intention to send me a replacement, because they have flat out lied to me about it twice and now will just not acknowledge me at all this time around. This is an utterly deplorable business model and completely unacceptable customer service. If this were a normally priced alarm clock, I'd just eat the loss and move along. However, Loftie wants you to pay a premium for a product that they claim is of a high quality and that if you do have an issue, they'll honor their warranty - this is not the case. I was under warranty and they lied about sending me a replacement after a solid month of unresolved troubleshooting, and now have fed me a line again about a replacement they never intended to send out (likely because they purposely blew me off until I was outside of my warranty window). Do not purchase products from this company. The products are cheap and unreliable, and the support not any help either.

Es espectacular, aunque su precio es elevado.

La aplicación es mala, configurarlo es una pesadilla. No se puede poner la hora manual, tiene que ser la hora de algún uso horario. Cuando se desconecta de internet se resetea y deja de servir

Compré este despertador a pesar de su elevado precio por todos los beneficios q ofrecía y por estar recomendado por Wirecutter. En un principio todo fue muy bien, pero hechos recientes ocurridos en los últimos meses me han hecho cambiar totalmente de opinión. 1) Todos los servicios adicionales de audio ahora son bajo suscripción. Entonces no solo hay q pagar los casi $4000 pesos ($200 USD) por esto si no que hay q pagar una cuota mensual para usar los servicios que originalmente daban un plus a este despertador (ruido blanco, audiolibros, podcasts, meditaciones) 2) Hace unos meses un hacker encontró una vulnerabilidad en la configuración de los Lofties por lo que ofrecen un acceso relativamente facil a tu red personal. Este tema fue inicialmente ignorado por la empresa y no fue hasta hace unas semanas que informaron al hacker que estaban “tomándoselo muy en serio”. Honestamente no vale la pena. Es bonito, sí. Pero si no estás dispuesto a pagar una suscripción mensual (no puedo creer que escribí esa oración para un despertador. UN DESPERTADOR) no es más útil q un despertador de 500 pesos o menos.
