Great deal, bought it about 3 days ago. One thing annoys me. There is a zero in front of the 1-9 hours of the day, and you can't get rid of it. You see it in the picture. Maybe I'm weird, but it drives me nuts, lol.

I would suggest a Google nest hub over this. Nest hub does all this does plus a touch screen. It's $50 at wal-mart. Check brickseek for availability

You are right, the Google Nest Hub is a better smart hub. I think the real deal here is the fact that the Lenovo is bundled with four smart bulbs. That and if you are looking at getting the Essential, it is kind of a niche, minimalist product that the Nest Hub doesn't fill as well

I think the fact that it supposedly requires internet to keep time is what kills the Lenovo.

I received the bulbs when they said I'd get them two days ago. I haven't received the clock yet, and there's no tracking number. This deal was posted a few days ago. Has anyone received tHe bulbs and clock separately?

These bulbs are hilariously bad. They are super flaky and lose connection all the time. I know I own some - most of which are sitting in the closet.

If you want to burst out laughing, watch this video on how to reset these after they disconnect. This is not a joke - I had to do this a bunch of times.

You have been warned.

Yea the price breakdown has the Clock for about $16 and 4 bulbs for $13 which is a good deal. I have the Nest Hub next to my bed and it's great but honestly, I don't use the screen that much. Yes It's informative for photos and animations etc.
