The display is always easy to read - both day and night. Setting the alarms is beautifully simple and intuitive. The switch from summer to winter time and setting the time works perfectly over the radio. The snooze and light function is coupled to the base - I think simple awesome. You have to press any buttons, switches, levers, half asleep or in the dark. And the battery consumption is very moderate. Have hardly ever have to replace the batteries in recent years. Even if times the BAT indicator appears, the alarm clock an estimated eternity without faults or errors will continue to run.
Even after 10 years ... or even longer, I can state to the alarm nothing negative. The operation is still properly. Only the base is no longer as strong as on the first day, but does not disturb the function at all.
It's really a pity that no longer exist such simple, unproblematic devices. If the reviews of other alarm clocks you look at that through great features (whether one really needs to be seen times) and design but shine when it comes to service and quality are a nightmare, you could really throw.
