UPDATE: 7/13/18: Little Hippo not only incorporated my suggestion for the nap timer into the new Mella clocks, but sent us two new ones with the update! I am moving my review to a 5 star, not only because I think the clock is near perfect now, but also based on the level of customer service I got and you will get when dealing with Little Hippo! Kudos!
My daughter wakes up all different hours of the night, and becomes disoriented and confused as to what time it is, so she needs my help to tell her to go back to sleep. It could be 11:30 pm, 2:30 am, 5:30 am, or all three. She's never slept past 7AM, so we don't need/use the alarm clock feature. I purchased this clock so she would have a visual way (without my prompt) of determining if she should get up and play, or if she needed to go back to sleep. I'm hoping that she will not have to rely on me forever, and will eventually learn to put herself back to sleep without me.
She wasn't very pleased with it last night, she didn't like that the face was sleeping and there was no light, she wanted it to have a night light, and finally asked me to turn it around so she didn't have to look at it. However, she was delighted when she got up at 5:30 and the yellow light was on indicating she wake up. She had trouble distinguishing between the yellow and green light, so in her infinite wisdom she said it was chartreuse and she could get up to play, lol. I didn't argue with her, I'll just set the clock an hour later, so she can get up when any color light comes on. I assume this might only be an issue for special needs children or much younger children.
My preference would be to have an app on my smart phone, where I could simply program the colors (or off) for each hour. 7PM - 6AM Blue/Sleep, 6AM - 12PM Green/Awake, 12PM - 2PM Pink/Rest, 2PM - 6PM Green/Awake, 6PM - 7PM Purple/Get Ready for Bed, 7PM - 6AM Blue/Sleep. This way the clock would not only promote her staying asleep or in bed at night, but help her maintain a schedule during the day. For Autistic People, knowing what to expect is very calming/reassuring, so when the light turned off, she felt like there was no indicator as to what she should be doing, so sitting there waiting for the light was frustrating for her. Again this may not be an issue for typical Children.
It's great that the buttons lock, so it can't be accidentally reprogrammed. It came with everything we needed right our of the well packaged box. And works as expected.
I hope future generations become a little more high tech, and user customizable. Otherwise a solid product.
UPDATE: The very kind and attentive people at LittleHippo reached out to me after this review and wanted to make it right...she explained they stand behind their satisfaction guarantee, and they did! I am so impressed by their proactive customer service! The company really cares about the customer and the quality of the product. Thanks to LittleHippo for taking the time to address my concerns and going above and beyond to make sure our family is happy :)
Pros: looks great, functions great, relatively easy to use and setup
Cons: all control buttons on the bottom, which is a pain when wanting to turn features on or off several times a day.
Customer service: my kids hated Mella. They’re a bit past 2, and for some reason the smiling face of the clock scared the crap out of them. These aren’t skiddish kids, just something about it they didn’t like. Emailed customer support to return it. They responded telling me to keep it, and try again when they’re older, or give it away, and regardless here’s a full refund. THAT is how you convince me to try products from you again, even if the first didn’t work out.
Top reviews from other countries

The first night was tricky. He kept waking up saying the the robot needed to wake up too. The second night, he unplugged the clock. But after that, he stayed in his room. He stayed even after the light turned green for some reason. Now he’s happy when he wakes up and enjoys showing us robot is awake and he’s ready to start his day.
Pros:
It works ( at least for my kid for now)
Super cute - love the design!
Easy enough to program
Useful sound machine feature that will stay on all night if desired.
Nap feature with alarm or just the light.
Alarm feature for when he gets older
Yellow play light (although I wish you could turn it off)
Night light that will stay on all night if desired.
Lock for buttons- essential for my child (although I’m sure he’ll figure out the switch one day)
Buttons hidden under clock (way less tempting to touch)
Responsive customer service
Cons/wish list
Play light - I have mixed feelings about the yellow play light. I wish you could turn off this feature or shorten the play time.
No play light before sleep. This isn’t a deal breaker, but would be a useful feature. I just tell my son to play until robot goes to sleep.
Easy to unplug. It’s far too easy for my son to unplug the clock - not from the wall- but he pulls the cord out of the back of the clock.
Price. It’s expensive (but not out of line with similar products) - and is missing some high tech features I think should be included for that price.
Must be plugged in. Although it has a battery to keep the settings, it won’t work for any amount of time unless it’s plugged in.
No parent app. Just this morning I wished I could have changed the time on the clock from my bed...so I could sleep a little longer.
I completely recommend this clock. I chose it over others because of the excellent features, the look, and I was willing to splurge on something I thought might work and grow with our child. Being able to help our son with a sleep routine has been life changing.


Reading mommy blogs and reviews, I was seeing "MELLA" everywhere so we gave it a shot and are so glad.
Very cute design. We introduced the clock to our boy and explained what the faces and lights mean, what he can do when he sees each one. He says goodnight and good morning to MELLA and likes to "boop" MELLA in the face to say hi throughout the day.
Four days in and our son slept until 6am.... it feels like a miracle! Parents know that sleep is serious business, for them and their children and MELLA is certainly making a difference at our place!

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.
