Because due to a defective radio alarm clock decency buying a new one, I started the usual small product and evaluation research here on Amazon. ONLY, then I was not really smart. The reviews were not easy to predict: in almost all devices, the negative and positive reviews oddly balanced hold: display too bright vs. too dark; too loud vs. too quiet; increasing volume is disturbing; poor reception; digital tuner but still poor reception, DAB + vs. FM ", etc ..
After that I did for me again categorized what features are important to me and which is not necessarily required for the device. Ultimately, it should no small science, such as. When purchasing a notebook, TV or still camera, be.
So: no dock for your smartphone or tablet, no DAB + needed no 100 watt speakers, red font would be good, snooze function, dual alarm would be nice, battery (if time fails the current), unit a total of not too large, attractive design and very importantly, a large and (to the other keys) distinct button to stop the alarm. It follows that wound up devices with a price range of about 15 to 30 Euro eligible.
In shortlisted the two Philips clock radio now came AJ3115 / 12 AJ3123 and / 12th That reminds me, apart from the different design, on the fly, the technical difference between the two devices is not realized - of 3115/12 but has the greater power button is cheaper and of the Geräteabmaßen is slightly smaller - I ordered the former.
This is now the last few weeks in operation. In summary, I am satisfied and can from the standpoint of subjective Weckbedürfnissen try the positive, neutral and negative characteristics to assess short:
- Start-up: even without manual intuitively
- Density of the numbers: for my needs right
- Power button on the entire unit width (very good!)
- Processing of the unit makes a good impression
- Radio reception and sound: mediocre but sufficient (remember, however: small wire antenna, place in the home, receiving situation at the site, small speaker?)
- Rising volume: is while raising my view felt very slowly louder (pleasant to me so)
- Keys intrinsic noise (quite loud)
- The device itself is very easy
As a clear negative I feel that there is no adjustment to the volume dial while raising with radio alarm clock is on (konstante- or increasing volume).
Next I found out (because it was not clear to me before buying) that the auxiliary battery is used in the event of a power outage ONLY to save the settings and alarms. The clock display is set during a power outage, unfortunately!
Conclusion
A small, easy-to-use radio-alarm clock with room for improvement, which fulfills its intended function. For under-15-Euro I did not actually more or less expected.
He can continue to awaken.
