It’s actually very expensive for what it is… it’s just a clock with basic LED functions.
Like more toys or accessories for children manufacturers and selling ramp up the prices knowing parents will buy it to help their children and hopefully themselves.
Mine arrived without a UK plug which was very frustrating. Luckily I used an iPhone charger plug to let my daughter set it up and start to use it.
The clock and light setup does work though and my daughter likes to wait until it goes green.
Instead of this you could just purchase a smart colour changing lightbulb for £15 from Amazon and use Alexa to set up a morning routine. At least then you can dim it and let the child chose a colour.

This clock is amazing. Yes, it’s pricey, but it has been worth it for us. My three year old had started waking up one to two hours earlier than normal and yelling for me to wake up. I finally bought this to get some sleep! It works so well. She loved it instantly, and refers to Mella as “her.” She’s her friend who helps her to know when it’s morning time and when it’s sleeping time. My daughter loves that Mella has a cute face! Of course it takes a few nights to get her to respect Mella and know that green means she can be up, but it really only took a couple and she’s been so good at staying in her room and playing quietly. It has helped with nighttime wakings as well – sometimes she wakes in the night, but unless she’s had a nightmare or something where she really needs me, she seems to realize Mella is still “sleeping” and goes back to sleep on her own.
We don’t use the alarm feature yet, but have tested it, and it seems to work well. We’ve used the nap timer a couple of times – my daughter doesn’t really nap, but it works for quiet time as well. It doesn’t work as well for that for our daughter, but I think that’s largely because I haven’t put as much effort into training her to have a good quiet time now that she’s stopped napping.
I love that Mella displays the actual time, too – for one thing, it’s a handy reference when I’m in my daughter’s room, and also it will be good as my daughter grows to understand the actual time and not just the colours.
The one CON I have for Mella is a small one, the nightlight seems to cycle through colours although there are only a few options to leave it on, so there is a moment where it’s this bright pink colour which you can’t get it to stay on, and my daughter inevitably wants it to be pink (her favourite colour)…. she settles for the purple-pink, and I’ve learned to have it facing me while I switch it when she decides she wants a different colour, so we’ve made it work, but it is a minor annoyance.
We don’t use the songs or the white noise – we have a separate white noise machine we’ve been using for her since she was a baby. They do work though, and occasionally my daughter turns on the songs for her animals (she doesn’t like it when she sleeps, but sometimes her stuffies want it when she’s awake but they’re still resting, haha).
I am really looking forward to the fact that this will help my daughter stop yelling for me at all hours of the night and morning, especially as we have another child on the way. I would highly recommend this clock!! I expect my daughter to continue using it for several years yet, as the alarm and digital clock features mean it can grow with her, and it’s got a lovely design that’s fun and cute without being too baby-ish.

Update on 5Jul2018-
FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE (also, a solid product)
So, I’m updating my original review (shown below). I should have done this a couple of months ago after I received a letter from Mella in response to my first review. After my original 3-star review with the “good and the bad,” Mella sent me a personalized letter thanking me for my review, apologizing for what I found frustrating, and averring that they were already working on incorporating some fixes to the next version. Honestly, I was shocked but super IMPRESSED that they took the time out to do this. I even showed my dad the letter (who had just launched some goods on Amazon himself), and told him that this is what customer service is all about. I meant to update this post at that time, but since I suck, I forgot. Anyway, we’ve been using the clock now for several months now, and even though it was a little louder than we expected, the clock itself is rock-solid with the features and performance. While my original review for 3 stars hinged on the volume, we have grown quite accustomed to it and it doesn’t bother our daughter one bit. I’m honestly so blown away by their customer service; a young start-up that takes the time to personally address my “concerns” when it would have been way easier to just ignore it is a great way to start out. Best of luck to Mella. You’ve made a great product.
The GOOD:
-super sleek design, very fetching
-sturdy and well-made
-multiple adjustable functions (sleep-wake light cycle, alarm, sound machine, night light)
-multiple night lights
-alarm sound options are great
The BAD (and the reason for 3 stars instead of 5):
= The sound function is incredibly loud. I know a lot of people exaggerate on reviews, but seriously. The sound-machine has three volume levels, and the lowest one can be heard down the hall (we listen to the “ocean” one). Maybe if this clock were on the other side of the room instead of the night-table by my daughter’s bed, it might be better…but it’s still audible through the door.
= In a similar vein, the night-light brightness is not adjustable. The light options are great and soft and soothing, but honestly are too bright (in my medical opinion) to promote healthy somnolence when trying to put down a 4 year old who “isn’t sleepy yet.”
= (Preface, this next point did not weigh-in for my rating, but is a suggestion for the “next model” if anyone from MELLA is looking in.) I wish there were an easy night-light button, so that when my kid wakes up in the middle of the night she could easily press it to get another 30 min or whatever of night light. As it is now, all the buttons are on the bottom of the clock. There are six buttons which are identical, but in the dark you can’t see what each are for.

The clock looks good at first until only after 6m of normal usage, it cannot go to sleep at night, and the sleep time and wake up color doesnt work at all. very disappointed. so pricy.

Very cute design, the face and colored light communicate sleeping and wake time well. I was worried the face would be too bright but the lowest setting is unobtrusive in our pitch dark room. I wish there were more sound options, the musical option out of the 3 is absolutely terrible, there’s white noise and waves, also wish the sound could be turned down further. We kept our old sound machine and have this on silently now. Wish the colored lights also had lower brightness levels and/or had a sunrise/slowly turn on option. Overall I think it is helping with sleep training our toddler.

My 3 year old was having some sleep regression and we didn’t want him getting up whenever and sound whatever. So we got this alarm sleep trainer. It’s absolutely fantastic. You can clearly tell the company that made this put a ton of thought into its design and function and then executed the product perfectly.
Easy to set up. Super functional. High quality. Cute. Tons of features. Son loves it.
It’s very easy to setup. I was able to get the time set, sleep times set, and custom options I wanted set in a matter of a few minutes. Very easy. Just follow the clear directions that come with it the first time and you’ll remember how to do it going forward.
Make sure you pull the clear battery protector out. I didn’t the first night and accidentally unplugged it and had to reprogram it. Not a big deal but just make sure you pull the clear tab out.
I love the functionality and custom options. You can set the times you want, choose different light colors and when/if they turn on and when. You can set alarms or leave them off. It’s just a wonderful product that covers all your needs.
Her name is Mella and from night 1 my son loves her and follows her “glow color” to know when it’s bed time, play time, and awake time.
HIGHLY recommend this product. It’s worth every cent.

We love our Little Hippo Ok to Wake Clock! Both of our kids love using it as a light, white noise, and for timekeeping. It is easy to set up and use. My kids like the variety of light colors that it comes with. Also, we had to reach out to customer service and they were super helpful and nice!!! I highly recommend this product!!

Mi hija esta feliz con su reloj. Y ha aprendido a quedarse en su cama hasta que el reloj le avisa que es hora de levantarse. Lo mismo para la hora de dormir.

This is a super cute sleep trainer. Bought as an upgrade to the grow clock which my 3 and half year old daughter learnt how to hack in a day.
This is great as the buttons are on the bottom and there is a lock so hopefully will hold out a while to my curious little one.
The only disappointment is that there is no smart phone connectivity which I feel having that and removing all buttons would make this the ultimate sleep trainer.
