Perfect for iPhone X!
I was optimistic about this clock, I had the older model with the lightning port and expected this to be similar but with a Qi pad instead. I just got an iPhone X and I’ve been buying a lot of Qi pads (they’re great!) I have a small bedside table so space is limited and I didn’t want to have a separate pad and separate clock. The Bluetooth pairs effortlessly, it took all of 5 minutes to set up. I did have to exchange the first one because the left speaker wasn’t working but amazon shipped one to me the next day so it wasn’t a big deal (I choose to ship in the Amazon box as opposed to just the iHome box) might be a good idea because it provides additional padding. The sound is great and waking up to Bluetooth audio is nice, the size is perfect (nice and compact) and the audio is very clear. The Qi pad works great! Don’t listen to these other reviews, sometimes you get a defective product, some people are just not tech savvy enough, whatever the case people only seem to review things when there’s a problem, I originally gave this product 1 star because I was upset also, with only one speaker working it seemed justified at the time. I’m now giving it 5 stars because it really is the best one on the market and I obviously just got a bad one (it happens, nbd). If you have an issue just exchange it out like I did and choose the Amazon box if available. The quality of this product is better than anything else out that’s like this (this might be one of the only Bluetooth alarm clock’s with a Qi pad on the market). I’m giving 5 stars because they were first to market and the product is decent enough to use for a long time, price is a little high but again, this is one of the only clocks with a Qi pad and Bluetooth and decent audio so I feel like I made the right choice.

Easy to set up, smart features, small profile
Easy setup - the alarms themselves were similar to an older iHome I had, the Qi charger is OK, but you have to get it lined up just so - I've woken up a few times with a nearly dead phone because I didn't line up the phone right or confirm it was showing as charging. I like the ability to set 7 day, 5 day, or 2 day alarms so you don't have to remember to turn off your alarm.

What's not to love???
iHome does it again with this great product. This little bedside alarm clock/stereo has a bevy of features that fulfill many needs!FeaturesDual alarms - The alarms are great, easy to setup, easy to snooze (lol), easy to shut off.Charging - Easily the best feature of this device. There are many charging features. If you have a Qi wireless charging capable device, just set it right on top for easy charging. I have an iPhone 8 with a slim case on it and it still charges with no issue. The charging area is a large rectangle that is forgiving if you sometimes drop your phone on it imperfectly. There is even a USB slot on the back for a wired charging cable as well. I use this for my Apple Airpods. I just plug the cable into the back of the device and charge my airpods nightly.Bluetooth - This is for your music. Easily connect your device to the iHome for seamless streaming of music from any application on your device. There are even music controls on the iHome as well for play/pause/skip and volume.Additionally there is an Auxillary jack in the back to hook up something like an Echo Dot maybe for more music possibilities. You can also use this iHome as a speakerphone too with call controls on the front as well.ConclusionI only gave this 4 stars because I wish it had an AM/FM radio feature as well. I tend to listen to baseball/hockey games sometimes on AM stations and this is lacking. Other than that, this iHome has everything else I really wanted. Especially the super simple wireless charging pad!!

Will not work for long
I have only had this alarm clock for 9 months and it will no longer work for anything other than to tell time. The wireless charging only works sometimes. The Bluetooth stopped working and even when it did work it never worked consistently. This was a great product for the first month but not any longer.

Worth every penny !
As simple as it is the best clock for your nightstand that money can buy. It is just excellent as it has a wireless charger for your iPhone, and the design is modern and elegant. Also, the screen is nice and big, and the alarm is easy to set up and works great.

Not the most reliable Bluetooth connection (or at all)
There is no radio. So what, that's fine. The QI charging works fine. I love the dimmability of the display. The reason I'm only rating 3 stars is the Bluetooth is very wonky. I expect more from this company (or any). I use the BT pairing button and the clock shows up in my BT list on my phone (iPhone 8). I connect it and the clock shows connected. According to the manual, it should auto connect when it's within 30 feet, but this has never been the case. I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and when I come back it's no longer connected. I reconnect then get in bed, watch Netflix or read for 30 minutes then check and it's disconnected again. My phone has been on the charger since step 1. I reconnect again and cross my fingers that it will stay connected throught the night so I can wake to music and not a beeping sound. So far I've been lucky in that regard, but once I hit snooze, the BT disconnects and the next alarm is not music. I can think of no reason the BT connection should be this problematic and welcome any thoughts or tips from the community or manufacturer.Update 4-30-18:I'm dropping my rating to 2 stars after communication with the manufacturer. There are numerous reviews discussing the poor Blue Tooth functioning of this product yet my only response from them was that they tested one phone on one clock and had no issues so I should "reset my phone." This is not an isolated problem and they should put some effort into fixing a known and significant problem.
