Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I agree with all of the positive and all of the negative pointed out in reviews. The negatives won, though, and I just returned this. It is very nice to wake up to what feels like a natural sunrise. But this has a whole lot of weird, inexcusable (for something this expensive) problems. It is very difficult to navigate all of the buttons, given their placement, the fact that they're small and unobtrusive, and the fact that it's way too easy to send this almost-round light rolling across the nightstand when I press a button. The upshot is that the pleasantness of the light is completely overwhelmed by the frustration of dealing with the buttons. I also don't understand why the clock doesn't sync itself to the right time and timezone or have a battery backup - those features are no-brainers even in much cheaper products these days. I'd also add that making this light round was a cute gimmick - it feels a little like a sun sitting on my nightstand - but the size and shape make it hard to reach anything else on my nightstand.
