Customer Review

I chose this model because its effectiveness against the winter blues (SAD, SAD or in English) has been validated by the British studies. Some so-called "dawn simulators" do not offer sufficient brightness to produce this effect. Compared to cheaper devices of the same brand, it allowed me to choose well the duration of twilight and dawn according to my needs (available ranges: 15 to 90 minutes). The change in light is sweet, and the red light above the darkness really reminds sunset. For those who are sensitive even at low brightness, you can set the time display to make it less bright at night, or completely absent (in this case we can make it appear to the request by pressing a button).
I also chose this because, unlike some competitors, it has a bulb that can change: its lifetime is thus not limited to that of the bulb. I'm not a big fan of disposable gadgets.
Sound side, I love the "birdsong", which I find both realistic and quite relaxing to listen to.

Regarding the disadvantages, now ... the setting is not very intuitive, I had read in the comments and this is confirmed, you really keep the manual handy. Too bad we can not turn the light off, after waking up, by briefly pressing a button: you have to press and hold (-) key as long as the unit goes through all the shades of twilight. Finally, the radio does not pick really great, the sound crackles a lot, and the sounds resemble those of a computer (or a low clock radio range, I guess). Other proposed soundtracks for revival, apart from the birds I mentioned, do not pack it. The "sound of the sea" is like the crackling of a radio between two stations, for example. The rooster, he's funny, but you can not listen again before falling asleep ... Fortunately I did not choose this device primarily on the criterion of its audio performance, otherwise I would very disappointed! I think for those who wish an optimal experience, it is better to opt for the model still above that allows to wake up to the sound of his own music, it really expands the range of choice ... But it is also yet more expensive. Hopefully these products that make them sweeter awakenings in winter will still eventually democratize: it's a shame that this is still a luxury at a time when we have access to so many other technologies!
