I bought this not expecting the voice command to work SO well!

I can be out of the room( bathroom getting ready) and and ask MOSHI and get my answer!

I watch Tv with home theatre system and I have never had it go off in the 6 months I have had this.

The pleasant waking up sound and Miss Moshi tells you the day and time. I love to say Thank you and Miss moshi says "you're welcome"

The am/fm stereo sounds great and picks up all of my stations!

It's so easy to set the 2 seperate alarms ( which is great for a couple who get up at different times).

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my MOSHI!

( I have bought 2 more for gifts, I am so impressed with this device)

features : volume on MOSHI voice, am/fm 3 preset stations,gorgeous colbalt blue display settings.

So nice to be sleeping on my side and and just ask moshi instead of just about having to get out of bed for the time.

This is a 10 star item!

Buy Moshi IVR006 Voice Control Digital Clock Radio Black Now

To all of you who gave a low score to the Moshi AM FM IVR 006 clock radio, apologise to the radio, as the radio did in speaking with you. The radio instructions did not tell you to speak in a "slow normal voice. Nor did it tell you to raise your voice in decibels to get the point across. Too, you were not told to get right up within an inch of the mic and command it. And it did not say to shout insanely at it as if it will listen to the sound of you, as you pack it up and get it ready for a return trip to the store. I know what I am talking about because I got my first one and was frustrated because right out of the box it could not understand the difference between "SET TIME" and "SET ALARM" or AM to PM. I returned it telling my wife that I really don't want another. I got a replacement though, just to find it doing the same thing again. Then, I did as I was told with the manual and spoke a few feet away in a normal low pitch, pace, and power voice and WOW!, We started listening to each other and the results were marvelous. I now love my new Moshi IVR 006.

When you get it, set it up where you are going to use it. Speak each command in a LOW normal voice with no raised volume and do not speak slowly because the radio must be stupid. The receiving microphone is made to accept a low volume regular voice. I spoke in that manner and to my surprise it listened near perfectly. Moshi and I are getting along quite nicely now.

PS the manual also states that when waking to AM FM radio You can not turn it off by command. Only when using the alarm sounds can you voice command it to go off. You need to tap the "on and off/reset" button each morning to stop your radio and reset for the next day. For me, I like the alarm sounds which do work with the "Turn off alarm" command. Buy it or try it again. Just remember to communicate in the right way. Thank you Moshi!!

Read Best Reviews of Moshi IVR006 Voice Control Digital Clock Radio Black Here

This talking clock/radio is very easy to use. The female voice is clear and understandable. It is easy to verbally set the time, date and alarm. The AM and FM radio presets are a bit more difficult but once you get the hang of it, you will find it easy. Once the radio is playing, you can not do any further voice commands because the microphone is being blasted with music so Moshi (the product name that you must use when giving a command) can't hear you speaking.

If you like to wake gently to either alarm or music, this is a great item. The alarm volume or radio volume start low and gradually build louder and louder rather than jolting you out of a sound sleep. The manufacturer even built in manners. Once Moshi gives you the time, if you say "Thank you" the item will reply, "You're welcome." I like it!

Beautiful looking, built sturdy. However-it has several problems:

1) It frequently will pick up a phrase on TV or radio (or someone in your house) and engage the command sequence ("Command Please"). Just about anything that rhymes with, or is even close to, "Hello Moshi" (its command engagement) will set it off.

2) Just as frequently, the alarm does NOT sound at the pre-set time, and once it has gone off 5 minutes LATE.

3) AM radio reception is non-existent.

4) It would be nice to have a male/female voice selection.

5) Frequently, it does not comprehend commands. It has turned the radio on when I've told it to set the alarm, for example. Voice placement/tone/volume is critical, so be ready to attempt many voice settings at times.

6) Three screen brightnesses: Bright (too bright), medium (almost unreadable), and off (why?).

7) Be ready to yell "SNOOOOZE" over your spouse/partner if you want to invoke the voice snooze command when the alarm sounds (she/he/they will probably NOT be happy).

Overall, this is a quality product that introduces an interesting (and fun) interactive concept. Hopefully, the manufacturer can solve the many bugs.

I recently purchased this product from Brookstone only to realize that the voice recognition feature doesn't appear to work as advertised. I plugged the clock into a quiet bedroom and tested it out. The voice recognition would pick up on the "Hello Moshi" command, but would fail to recognize most of the other follow-on voice commands. There was no distracting background noise that would have interfered with the voice recognition, albeit Moshi advertises that the clock can still pick up your voice commands even in somewhat noisy environments. Moreover, my voice commands were said in a "slow normal" pace (which is what the instruction manual states). The device would only register the "Hello Moshi" command but would simply not recognize any of the other commands.

I then took this clock back to Brookstone for a refund. The sales rep offered to replace the device so I took him up on his offer but only if I could test out the replacement device in the store. This time, the sales rep did the test run and again, the clock simply would not pick up any commands after "Hello Moshi". He finally managed to get it to work only after nearly shouting into the clock's microphone. At that point, there was no question of refund.

If you are looking for a basic clock radio, this will suffice though there is no need to fork over $69 plus shipping fees. Unless I had bad luck with two defective clocks, I have a feeling that the voice recognition device doesn't work as advertised. My advise is to test run the device at the store before you walk out.
