TFA 98.1040 radio clock with alarm (household goods)

Customer Review

The alarm clock is - form follows function - simple and unobtrusive. Positive that falls with a diameter of 8.5 cm on quite a large and easy to read dial. Haptic able the device to convince less: You can tell already clear that everything is made of plastic. The hands glow in a somewhat sickly green. For the LED lighting (on keypress) nice and bright.

The time required for the power supply battery (Mignon) is commendably included.

Despite non-existent second hand of the clock is not completely silent, because the minute hand every 15 seconds by a quarter minute advances and thereby makes a slight noise excessive. This sounds like a grain of rice, which on a sheet of paper falls from height egringer. Due to the large time interval, it does not interfere with (me).

The alarm signal (beep-beep-beep -! Beep-beep-beep) starts relatively quietly and after a few seconds a little louder. For people with normal hearing, it may be impossible to go back to sleep with this noise.

I would buy the alarm clock again - it reliably fulfills its duties and for the very reasonable price of 9.40 euros (as of 11.2.2009).

Exactly what I wanted 1 2 Rank: 5/5
