Hatch earns strong reviews for genuinely improving sleep routines with soothing white noise, customizable lights, and gentle sunrise alarms, especially for infants and toddlers. Reviews also flag persistent weaknesses: a finicky app and Wi‑Fi dependence, subscription-gated content, occasional hardware quirks (chargers, tap controls, looping or blipping sounds), and travel connectivity challenges.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Hatch has amazing customer service and offers so many app features. In addition, the alarm itself is pretty to look at and works so well. The sunset light and gradual alarm sound helps me to wake up peacefully, and I love being able to customize everything.

Waking up feels gentler with this clock and I like the soothing sounds and light. The app could be easier to use and sometimes feels buggy but overall it has made my mornings much better. I didn't think I would like it, but I absolutely love it.

I love my hatch! I have had it for years and it really does make waking up easier. I do think the product cost is a little unnecessary considering there are a lot of “dupe” products on the market that seem to work just as well.

We got the Hatch Rest for my baby and have been using it daily since day 1. Honestly, I could have gone with a different brand. The app isn't very user friendly, took some time to figure out (while sleep deprived) and a lot of the cooler features are subscription based.

This product has sooo much potential. I'll start with what I love: red light at night plus soothing background noise such as light rain. (Once I'm actually ready to shut my eyes I turn the light all the way down but keep the white noise). In the AM, it's amazing to wake up to the "natural" sunlight paired with chirping birds (since I sleep with blackout blinds). That said, the app is SO finicky & continuously logs the actual device offline, leading to frustration/bad UX. The device itself I would give 5 stars if it weren't so reliant on the app.
Feedback
The app/device/wifi communication could use some serious improvement. I basically can't use 95% of the features because I've gotten so frustrated with having to reset it all the time, etc. I'd love to see less reliance on the app + more flexibility with the app. Eg: what if I want to listen to a meditation one day without going through setting up a whole routine? The "routines" idea is fun/unique but it feels limiting at the moment. Also, what if I wanted to play my favorite nighttime playlist on Spotify? Not possible. I get what they're trying to do with the recurring subscription revenue but I think that should come later once everyone falls in love with the device first (and once the app is more developed). Would also love to see a version that doesn't need to remain plugged in at all times.

I have only had my hatch alarm for about a month and I am so in love with it. I love the routine feature that lets you create morning/night routines that you can customize for each day. It has really helped my sleeping habits!

Our family has been using Hatch for over 2 years now and we love the convenience of the product, the app and traveling with the device. The sound options are great as well as all the color options. We currently live in a small townhouse so it has been a lifesaver for nap time!!

Ease of use, goes well with any decor, well worth the money!

This alarm clock has CHANGED the game for me. I wake up feeling so refreshed. It's completely customizable to the routine you want to have, and I love sleeping with the white noise feature. While i wish I could use it just as a normal speaker sometimes, I do think having it just be an alarm helps me curate my bedroom to be just for sleep and to limit my phone time. I love it!

I cannot share enough about how happy this product makes me! Helps me start my morning routine on a positive note, no stressful alarm sounds, a bedtime routine — you name it! I love it!

This was on our top 5 for our baby registry and rightfully so. It is a life saver. This helped our son sleep as an infant and helped us sleep train him as a toddler. It made him for comfortable in his own room and bed. It’s easy to set up and turn on/off. We can adjust the brightness and the sound when ever we need and my fiancé can also access it on his phone too. Definitely worth it.

I wish there was an option for the one we have to play our own music.

My partner is a notorious snorer, and I had been using my phone for white noise at night, but it just wasn't cutting it. I tried the Hatch Restore 2, and it does a much better job of projecting noise than the phone. I also really enjoy the sunrise alarm feature. It gradually wakes me up, unlike the harsh alarms from my phone. My only issue was the price, but ultimately, I believe it was money well spent.

I purchased my first hatch “baby” machine when my daughter was born 3 years ago and we are still using it nightly for reading, ambient light & sleep sounds. I absolutely LOVE our hatch baby.
Feedback
This brand is an overall great quality brand. The products are sturdy, user friendly & high tech with mobile apps for seamless control of the devices using wifi/Bluetooth technology. Highly recommend especially if using as a parent for sleep training children.

We got the hatch rest sound machine for our baby and it has been a staple. I love how it can be used with or without the app, its easy to turn on and off, and its a constant for my child's sleep routine. We have tried other sound machines but this one has been absolutely worth the price.
Feedback
It would be cool if it was chargeable, so that for travel it wouldn't necessarily need to be plugged in.

We bought this product six years ago when the twins arrived. And we loved it! We used it everyday for almost five years. We like the fact you can control the volume, brightness, and timer on the app from our phones. We would take it with us when we traveled with the kids. It’s a great product. Would definitely recommend.

We’ve had it for six years and the piece that plugs into the Hatch could use an upgrade. But other than that it has been great.

I've had my Hatch 2 for 18 months now and I love and hate a lot of things about it. Overall, its a great alarm clock and white noise machine. The white/green/brown noise options are especially helpful if you live in an apartment and need to block out neighbors while you sleep. The sunrise wakeup function is similarly great and wakes me up most of the time before the alarm sound does. The biggest cons I have are the subscription, the app, and the consistency of the machine. Most of the apps best functions are hidden behind a subscription fee and can only be used if you have the app. You can't program the clock without the app and it isn't very intuitive. I've also had issues across multiple hatches with the sound suddenly stopping in the middle of my night routine. This also may sound silly, but if you are like me and use a sleeping mask, skip this alarm as it loses its main function!

I love my Hatch its my warm cozy side bed clock that give me the best wake up call in the morning.
As a new mom I read all the must have lists for a new baby. Put this on my registry. I can’t see the cost of the subscription being worth it. I use it everyday as a red light with a dryer sound, but I could have spent a lot less for something else that does the same thing. Tapping it on is also very temperamental.
I use this for my toddler who now wakes up every morning saying "mr. bright green can you turn on please?"! We had a big issue with him getting up at the crack of dawn, so this has been a lifesaver.
Feedback
I wish they had smaller versions as the size is a little unnecessary.
Still getting used to it so maybe my review will change. I don’t love the cue to go to bed. I do like that am wake up is a lot less jarring than your typical phone alarm. The lighting settings are a great feature.
I have heard amazing things about hatch. They are amazing with helping your sleep schedule and giving you overall better mental and physical health.
