Too bad, too bad

So once the positives:
in the light function, the manufacturer has taken on a pleasant lighting and light color. There is no fault with the light still on their brightness.

Nature sounds to wake you up, you can choose between 8 wake-up signals, LineIN and radio. Some of the wake-up signals (birds chirping, brook, rain and ocean waves) are also very pleasant, including a metronome, Feuergeknister or croaking of frogs was installed as the alarm tone, but reveals itself to me not quite.

Now that lead to the negative points for withdrawal:

Electronics, so much concern of manufacturers in housing and light effects to promote daily, because that is valuable and feels good to be so modest is the clock part (ie the screen with the silver heads around it).

- The display is unreadable extreme angle-dependent and in some positions.
- The service is a disaster to say the least, and more annoying than a 5Euro China Alarm Clock.
- For the price a Funkwecker function is the least that can be expected.
- No compensated battery compartment of power failures or plugging into an outlet
- Buttons are very bulky and tilt, so that the operation more difficult to impossible user guidance
- LineIN sold as MP3, which is something of meaningless. (Who has permanently an MP3 player running in a loop to allow then wake it?)
To enable a USB port to your own alarm tones and true MP3 -
- Radio operation from the last century, so radio can play only scan and then the current station where he has an extremely modest reception quality. No transmitter buttons or other features that one would expect as today.

This product is a chimera, on the one hand a very valent housing with pleasant lighting functions. And on the other side is "purely tinkered" electronics that seeks to Folly peers.

Therefore pity because 3 Euro savings in electronics have made a potentially world-class product and a bunch of plastic electronics made the strict sense do not give the purchase price.

Therefore, unfortunately, only 2 stars, because the device has potential. I have to keep the unit, as I will now make an Arduino project therefrom and the product to miss it deserves the electronics.
