We have brought this clock radio, as our after 12 years no longer went. The Philips is actually a brand that stands for quality, we opted for this device. The first impression was quite good, except that it is very very easy and the power cord for very large and takes away space. The operation is simple and quick. Also, the radio reception is good. Unfortunately we noticed on several occasions that the time presents itself again and again to zero, although both current abutted, and fully charged batteries in the unit were. We wanted to give the company a second chance, have complained about it to get a new machine but again the same problem. But since we are dependent on a functioning clock radio, and the unit returns. Very very bad.
