A snooze function is installed (about 5 minutes - I have a feeling that the intervals are shorter when you repeatedly use the function, but that may be imaginary), as well as the alarm lights up when you press the top button - but not so bright that you will wake up them or blinded. The time can be so easily read. If you once briefly light needs to look for something, then the alarm for this is also very suitable.
Even if the bedroom can not remember a lot of light, the clock invites on always enough, so no need to worry that the clock times fails because he has not been charged enough. Compared to a normal alarm batteries you have to change the battery much less frequently (in 15 years, I had once a defective battery, and even then I was still aroused the alarm, but much quieter than usual (and walked about 3 minutes after). But when I had then replaced the battery operated alarm clock again).
I suspect the battery had gone kapput because I the alarm (ie that at which the battery is gone kapput) had asked often times in the blazing sun (I thought the charge should there really). In the manual, however, is that you just should not do - that I had probably read too late. Indirect light from the sun is ideal for recharging the alarm. On my second (and third) clock, I then this mistake is not repeated.
Most clock radios would indeed aufallen by a power failure, this can not happen in this a solar clock. Since I am predisposed perfectionist, I have in important exams or the like, however, always 2 alarm is set (which I would but with any other alarm clock also so do).
All in all I am wonderfully pleased with the alarm clock.
