First the positive points:
+ Decorative
+ Does not need a lot of space
+ Lights very bright
+ The time display can be dimmed (is too bright in the default setting for sleeping)
+ Waking up with light is actually much more comfortable than the usual "trööt" alarm clocks.
Why, however, wants to break save such a good idea with poor implementation, I do not quite understand.
The disadvantages of this alarm weigh quite heavy, moreover, given the steep price.
- The service is a little science. Without guidance I have not managed to set everything. This must be done better. A few suggestions were: Keys that you are caught even half asleep, Tastenbezeichungen that can be read even in bright backlight of Wecklichtes, more stability of the entire alarm during operation.
- For +60 EUR one does not manage to install a radio receiver for the time, the today every 6-EUR clock from the hardware store. Even no back-up battery for the clock is available. > Set everything new - plug out or power failure.
- Only one alarm. Here, too, my 6 EUR-clock more.
- It is not possible to provide the Knock light to maximum, but to read at gedämmtem light. There is only one setting for the brightness.
- After waking up the light shines, until it veers off. Why can not switch off automatically after 1 hour? So you have to separate again return to bed turn off to it.
My conclusion:
The principle light alarm clock is very good, and in fact mandatory for future generations Ringer. The usability of this device is, however, at the price unreasonable. The criticisms were all no major cost drivers and should actually be easily remedied. Philips brand I would have expected more since.
