I have used other Lichtwecker (Philips) before this alarm clock and like this kind of awakening very much, because I wake up much more balanced and more rested. This is of course a matter of taste, that you should just try it. This light alarm clock Beurer like it visually very good. The build quality is, apart from the somewhat cheap-looking buttons on the front, fine. It is not too big and therefore does not take a lot of space on the nightstand away. It is nice that you can use the Wake-up light as a lamp and they also donate a pleasant light for reading. The display is ok from the size for me, one can regulate the lighting. The alarm clock has so many different alarms as indeed is in the description. The biggest problem at this alarm clock is the very complicated operation. The Philips Wakeup Light was by the operator already complicated, but this alarm clock here the topt again. In the box you will find a quick guide to the device, to which I am initially failed miserably. The many functions of the device, it will quickly become very confusing. Having studied in detail the normal manual, I come with the operation now reasonably clear. As an alarm clock and lamp does this Lichtwecker its purpose, but no blows me off the stool
