Your nightstand needs this Alexa-compatible smart alarm clock that’s on sale
Odds are you’ve probably had the same fake-wood-paneled drugstore alarm clock since the Bush administration, or you’ve resorted to setting an alarm on your smartphone and laying it next to your pillow every night.
If any of that sounds familiar, you should check out Vobot. This cute little device is like a combination white noise machine, personal assistant, and stereo, plus it’s fully compatible with Amazon Alexa. It deserves a prime piece of nightstand real estate if you ask us.
Check it out in action:
Vobot is a completely self-contained device that connects to Alexa via an onboard app, so you never need to worry about smartphone compatibility or pairing issues. It uses voice, touch, and motion controls, so all you need to do is tap its screen and talk to check the weather, hear the news, or play music. Plus, Vobot’s white noise and hypnotic music features can help you get to sleep faster, and if you prefer listening to music or audiobooks while you fall asleep, you can stream them through Amazon, iHeart Radio, and TuneIn. You can also choose peaceful wake-up music, so you’re never kicked awake by a harsh buzzing alarm ever again.
Normally the Vobot sells for $59, but Mashable readers can take 23% off and get one for $44.99.
