Beurer Lichtwecker WL 70 (household goods)

Customer Review

Oh how nice! I thought. The functions of the light alarm WL 70 from Beurer promise comfort on the bedside table: adjustable lighting, radio, falling asleep, simulated sunrises and sunsets, alarm tones, time ...

To start with the positives: The machine holds even what it promises.
The design is used to, but not necessarily a bad thing, you have to first make friends with it. However, it brings stability and a large, but not massive luminous body acting in an attractive form. I consider that a positive.
The light is more than adequate. Ramped up to level 20, it generates floodlit atmosphere, but can be up to the cozy dim light turn down. Already amazing what you can afford there.
There are in addition to the classic buzzer some really pretty Weckklänge from airy birdsong to leftover bar pianist. And a radio. Well, so, like a transistor radio up.

In the configuration shown variable as a panacea. Multiple alarms, each selectable whether radio, sound carpet or sunrise. There is a radio-shutoff and the advertised sunset adjustable times of 2, 5, 10, 20 minutes by yellow and Rotstufe. And an MP3 player you can also plug in yet.
Oh, and the display brightness can also be adjusted, in three stages or throughout. One should also do necessarily, because during my first sunset self-test it was not dark. Until I realized that the light was long and the bill came from the display, which is sufficient for quite some room brightness.
Now, the light effect could still be a little softer, but basically does it all as it should. Those who want to contribute their own recorded music, should keep in mind that this is purely an audio input, the möglichwerweise * something * better sound than the MP3 player, but of course can not accept shutdown. So you can not let eg awaken with Richard Clayderman itself.

That sounds all very well, one would think. So why am I not happy?
Well, the problem is the use of these diverse built-in functions! The basic entry could perhaps internalize, consisting of episodes of middle button, arrow, center button, arrow keys, center button. Sometimes you have unfortunately also touch up and down. and sometimes the right, where the light is turned on, and where you can adjust the brightness. When the radio is on (arrow down) but you control the volume of the transmitted-light button. And at the light a button, you can also adjust the light color. The issue is not bright or dark. And if you're wearing the light is dim yellow, then appears a friendly "yellow" in the display, but you can, amazingly, the other buttons no longer use, so the radio, the display brightness or whatever. Trying to turn down the screen brightness according to the radio switched on and pretend an alarm is likely to cost many choleric a few hours sleep.

I'm really sorry, because the basic idea and also the processing actually are really great, but with all the great features should only masochists find their bright pleasure.
