The first alarm clock that was delivered was defective out of the box. The second hand entangled with the other pointers.
The new alarm clock does not, but the quality of the suspension of the pointer is probably to be called bad. It shows when you adjust the time and can watch the game of the hands formally. ME it is a matter of luck how long holds the part.
Silent: Technically not, but in use: YES, silently. At least that is true of my copy and am very critical, super great.
The alarm time can only counterclockwise, so you can not even imagine just about ten minutes it. This is a huge drawback for me. The wheel to adjust is - for drowsy - just still okay. The alarm hand is red - and thus highly visible - and it is long enough so that it reaches up to the minute marker. Which is great.
The alarm is rising and good loud and goes about 20 minutes, I like that, snooze is possible 5min. How often snooze I have not yet tested. The wake-on-off switch button has a good resistance, so it is more than once if he comes so times with eime pillow or in touch. This is far in any alarm that.
The verstellrädchen are not internal, but even these have a good resistance, so that inadvertent changes may not be as easily happened.
The night time is no light can not be read, the light installed but enough to just make out.
For me personally this could dial / the alarm clock be greater.
It is a normal AA battery go (included with me) necessary, battery, very good.
I shipping incl. Paid 15.98.
CONCLUSION: For the * * Price perfectly okay and for * the * award also eigtl 4 points, but will continue to look for my alarm clock..
Addendum: Snooze is 4min and I could push it 8 times before it stopped completely.
Addendum v.02.05.2013
After this alarm clock is now running without complaint, I raise to 4 points.
