To ask if you have a bluetooth/radio alarm clock you're happy with?

My son wants a digital radio alarm clock functions with a bluetooth speaker, and a way of dimming the light to an acceptable level at night. There are dozens but it's hard to find one without negative reviews and I'm wary of brands I haven't heard of. I know people are more likely to review things negatively than positively, so I'm hoping to hear from people who really are happy with their alarm clocks and willing to recommend.

We dont have alarm clocks in our house, we have a Google Nest speaker in each bedroom anyway so we just use those.

We have the "routines" set up so that at night when you say a certain command ( mine is just "Google, goodnight" but DD is obsessed with Harry Potter so hers is "Google, Mischief Managed") it will ask you what time to set the alarm for the morning and then turn off devices (plugged into smart plugs) and light (smart bulb) and play white noise for an hour, which is long enough to fall asleep.

Then in the morning the alarm goes off and DDs also turns on her lights (she hates getting up early especially in dark winters so would otherwise just roll over and go back to sleep) and just plays a playlist of her choice from spotify until she turns it off. My alarm goes off then Google gives me a quick overview of my day - current time, weather and any appointments in my Google calender - and then a spotify playlist or whichever podcast I'm listening to.
