Now for the caveats:
The alarm clock had an English plug. So I could use it immediately, but had to me yet buy an adapter.
The display is made dark at night, so you can read the time yet, but the light does not bother - if you have turned on the alarm clock. If the alarm is disabled (eg weekends), the display remains bright and well lit so that the room. I am personally very disturbing the sleep. That's why I'm the trouble and put the alarm clock even during the weekend, but turn the sound all the way down.
In this next shortcoming is audible: When alarm points you have to click through every time the entire menu, even if you just want to make a change. Here also the sound you chose to be heard in the corresponding volume. If the spouse is asleep next door, he is aroused it.
From the samples I had hoped for something more. The "birdsong" consists of an intake of about 2-3 seconds, which is repeated in a continuous loop. That's pretty fast on my nerves.
There's also a snooze button. However, this has a major drawback: not only the sound, and after 9 minutes comes on again, but also the light. That is, it is night again, and within 9 minutes the light will raufgedimmt again. This is completely unnatural and interferes with the (sensitive) body strong.
Conclusion: The alarm clock is pretty and ok, but unnecessarily cumbersome. For the price I would have expected and hoped that everything is better thought out comfort. I would next time look at other Lichtwecker.
Subsequent addition: The display can be but at WE darken when you know that one the key combination + and - to press.
