Energy Saving Radio

For its size, the device has a decent sound and in terms of the usual in almost all radio alarm clocks wire antenna also an acceptable reception. In both of these criteria must be from a clock radio simply can not expect too much, and you have probably rarely wish to be woken up from a distant transmitter in hi-fi quality. I can, however, say anything, because there with us (hopefully!) Does not give the receiving via the receiving properties in DAB.

Largely easily the settings of transmitters and alarms can be for a little tasting (for weekdays and weekends differently possible) make. I also share the view expressed here do not view the display is difficult to read. The device is with me right next to the bed and even I as eyeglass wearers, who even at night settles, so have no problems. It features a dimmer that adjusts the brightness of the display automatically to the surrounding brightness. Although it can not be readjusted manually, working to my liking but practical, and the display is not too bright in the dark. When the morning wake-up begins, they will also automatically brighten 'beautiful!

A great plus, the unit receives from me the fact that the power supply is not installed, but is housed in the plug. Namely, since the electromagnetic almost completely goes on whose account he is kept away with this simple measure of the bed.

Another plus earned the unit with its environmental friendliness by low power consumption.

Now to a minus that a deduction of two stars is worth it: The device has no clock, but finds the time, date and day of the week from the DAB or RDS signal of the tuned radio station. So it stands to the precision of a clock to nothing, and the manual positions eliminated as well. However, this requires a disadvantage in case of power failure. It retains all settings (transmitter and alarm times), but unfortunately not the current time. In order to receive the new, the radio must be turned on and receiving a DAB or RDS station for about five minutes. And that's just to make the sleeping poorly. Otherwise, the display shows only dashes. If even short nightly blackout has so the next morning bad cards. A clock on the other hand would make for a few minutes and without the help new again.

Nevertheless, I'll keep the otherwise good device in the hope that the current at night not very often fails and I do not have to sacrifice any holiday for that.
