I just received this awakening that I use in living room clock and I recommend it because it is extremely simple and quick to adjust (manual being also French), the figures are quite large and very clear (but may be too light for a bedroom) and for those interested, the display is actually 24 hours (12h, 13h, 14h, 15h .... etc), I feared that the display is 12 hours (12h, 1h , 2 hours, 3 ... etc) but fortunately this is not the case. The battery backup of hours in case of power failure is not supplied 9-volt rectangular (therefore include the purchase of the battery before purchasing the unit). Good point also for the Amazon that are shown due diligence team for customer service.
