The 2 point deduction, there are very clear to the buzzer alarm tone whose volume can not be adjusted, which is unfortunately and annoyingly not mentioned in the product description! The Wecktonlautstärke is a matter of taste for me it is too quiet. All the more incomprehensible that you can not adjust according to personal needs, the Wecktonlautstärke. Sense of an alarm clock is but that one is woken up ?! And while raising through the radio you can adjust the volume, why not also the buzzer ??? In my view, failure and bad design.
Personally, I sleep with earplugs that reduce the ambient noise a bit, since I am a light and poor sleep. Medium to loud noises I can perceive despite earplugs. Not so the buzzer alarm of Karcher. In my previous alarm clocks I had no trouble hearing the alarm.
Some reviews are talking about misleading of increasing alarm sound, then I decided for this product. But that is only the case while raising through the radio. The Buzzer "volume" remains unchanged, only the interval between the tones is shortened!
Annoying in this respect also, that and correct themselves great Nap Not only works with the buzzer, the radio, which is why this tradition of being unusable for me.
Another (small for me) gripe: The casing is scratch-prone and already came up with two scratches to me.
After the criticism now the positive points:
Because of my light sleep or problem with "external influences" the dimming function is positively highlighted. Although the darkest of the three brightness levels objectively already is pretty good, it is me personally too bright. All the great possibility of being able to turn off the display at night. If one is night time on the road, you look at the return to bed not equal to the time, which I find positive. In the morning after waking do I keep the display easy again. And the whole thing with each push of a button.
The numbers are large and easy to read.
Toll are the two alarms that can be set individually.
The operation of the clock radio was intuitive and easy to learn for me.
The design has been achieved.
I hope my review helps a little in their purchasing decision.
Conclusion: Since I have found no real alternative, I reserve my criticism despite the Karcher clock radio. Awaken I let myself through the radio, the Napfunktion I can not really use. What remains is a bitter aftertaste and
Incomprehension about the not adjusted buzzer Wecktonlautstärke.
