Anyone who wants to use the radio only as a kitchen radio has a high quality radio. Anyone wishing to use the radio as an alarm clock radio for the bedroom must note the following: Who wants to be woken up in the morning like loud, has a very deep sleep, or something is hard of hearing, for which the radio is appropriate. Not suitable for soft gentle awakening, as preprogrammed alarm volume 12 (quite loud) can not be adjusted downwards (This point leads me to the devaluation of 2 stars, because nothing about it is mentioned in the manual).
