Moshi continues to offer stellar performance with enhanced design. The Moshi Voice Control alarm clock is one of their better products. This clock improves on the older models by adding a larger LCD display that changes between six different colors and can be used as a night light. When it comes to alarm clocks, this clock, plain and simple, is very fun to use and it earns our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award.
This Moshi clock has unique voice-activation controls using their "Technology That Listens." When setting the clock, just tell Moshi what time of the day it is, and you are ready to go. Speaking commands into the clock means you won't have to bother with setting it manually unless you want to. With traditional alarm clocks, it can be easy to set an alarm for 7 p.m. when you meant 7 a.m. With the voice technology, Moshi will ask you whether you want a.m. or p.m. just to clarify. Once it is set, you don't have to worry.
Falling asleep to this clock is easy. There are three available sleep-inducing sounds that you can choose from, but the sounds only go for 15 minutes. When waking up, the clock has three available alarms: a solid beep, a chime and a phone ring. There is no gradual wake-up function on this clock, but you can adjust the sound of the alarm. There is only one alarm to set, not the dual alarms that other alarm clocks offer, but you can depend on Moshi to wake you up on time.
The simplicity of this clock makes it easier to use than other clocks. Setting the alarm requires only your voice. There is a button located on the back of the clock to turn the alarm on or off after you have set it, as well as other buttons that you can use to set the time if you want to use them. The voice-activation system allows you to set alarm, as well as the time and date, vocally.
Setting the alarm requires only your voice. This feature is especially useful for those who may have certain disabilities that affect vision or manual dexterity. Simply say, "Set alarm" and tell Moshi the time you want to wake up. This is a very attractive feature as it allows hands-free setup of the alarm. You set the clock in the same manner. However, be aware that speaking into any voice-command product can present troubles. The Moshi microphone is very sensitive and can easily pick up something that might be going on in the other room, causing the setup to falter and requiring you to repeat yourself. It's not a terrible problem, and if you need to, just use the buttons to finish setting the clock up. Voice activation makes setting up the clock hassle free.
Moshi comes with a voice-activation feature that recognizes 12 different commands. Some of these include, "set time," "time," "set alarm," "alarm" and "date," and Moshi responds to each one with a variety of different responses. The voice-activation button, located on the rear panel, needs to be turned on to allow this feature to work. Having a sleep feature is something you need in a clock, and Moshi does not fall short on this. There are also a few sleep options on this alarm clock. The three sounds offered on this clock are white noise, chirping birds and running water. The speaker is small but serves its purpose when it's kept on a nightstand next to your bed so the sleep sounds will soothe you as you fall asleep.

We love it when electronics don't even look like electronics. Sleek design is appealing, and the design of the Moshi alarm clock is irresistible. It really looks like something from the future. The backlit screen can change colors, and when the color of the lighting is on the dark blue setting, it looks almost as if you are looking into a waterfall. The top is made of sturdy plastic, and it sits on a secure base that stays put on any surface.
The screen is designed to let you see the time, date or temperature without ever having to squint to locate any small numbers. The screen is 7.5 inches tall, and the numbers are around 5 inches tall. Some alarm clocks leave parts of the screen dark when they illuminate. With the Moshi Voice Control clock, the entire screen lights up, which makes viewing the numbers easy on your eyes.
The Moshi Voice Control alarm clock incorporates technology that is ahead of its time. The well-constructed features make this alarm clock aesthetically pleasing. The simple backlighting of the screen is bright enough it can be read during peak hours of sunlight, yet it won't blind you as you look for the time in the middle of the night. Whether you're a deep sleeper or can rise with the breaking of the sun's rays, this alarm clock is a great fit. There is beauty in simplicity, and we find this alarm clock simply gorgeous.
