I finally found this one and was super excited to use it
I wanted a diffuser alarm clock and had been looking for quite a while without much luck. I finally found this one and was super excited to use it. Unfortunately it didn't do what I wanted it to --- I am seriously baffled why no one has an alarm clock that just diffuses oil when it goes off, I know for a fact I'm not the only person who wants one. Anyway, I set this to go off the next morning and, oh my, it was horrible. It started diffusing but it also was flashing the ridiculously annoying lights and had this obnoxiously irritating beep. It took every ounce of control I had (which isn't much that early in the morning) to keep from smashing this thing to tiny bits. I hit snooze and guess what, the entire fiasco started again. It's seriously annoying!!! The lights are obnoxious and the beep is irritating -- not loud enough to really wake you from a deep sleep but annoying enough that you want to rip it out of the wall. Another negative is that the display light is so bright that it's this glow in the corner of your room all night -- I have it turned around facing the wall and it's still this glow. (Yes, I still have it, I'll explain why.) I was so determined to have a diffuser alarm clock that I decided to make this one work. I dismantled the entire thing and removed the led lights and the buzzer. After putting it back together I realized I should have put something over the number display so to make it less bright (I'll probably still do that but haven't had time yet). After ripping it apart this thing is great. I set the alarm and it goes on diffusing oils like I want it to. One positive, after I put it back together the touch buttons that control it actually work better. So, if you're looking for a horribly obnoxious diffuser alarm clock this is great. If you want just an alarm clock diffuser and are willing to tackle dismantling this thing and removing the annoying parts then you'll be happy with this (do yourself a favor and put something over the number display to soften the light). FYI...unless you're a light sleeper don't expect the diffuser to wake you up from a dead sleep --- I have flexibility in my mornings so use this to wake me up in a more relaxing manner - I do use a (non-annoying) alarm clock if I have to be up by a specific time. After sharing my triumphant task of fixing this to work as, I think, it should I have had a number of people want one. I could probably make a couple mortgage payments if I bought these in bulk, fixed them and resold them. Not a product review but a review of the company: I contacted them to ask if I was missing something to turn the irritating beeps and lights off and they were rather rude in their response. Basically implied that I was crazy to even think it would do that. It would actually behoove them to listen to my suggestion and make something that many people want.
