Philips HF3520 / 01 Wake-up Light (Sunrise function, digital FM radio) white (Personal Care)

Customer Review

This product leaves a completely contradictory impression on me. The design is beautiful (although the floor space is dangerously small, the risk to push the unit from the nightstand is great), but the handling is a disaster. The technical design reveals no flaw, the quality is still partially beneath contempt.

My conclusion: After several days of trying out and round and forth laying back!

Why?

Given more than 600 reviews, I just want to write about what I find particularly striking:

1. The operation is done on the one hand via a touch-sensitive panel in the lower quarter of the lamp. It is so sensitive that it even reacts to any objects in its vicinity. And the approach of a finger is already recognized at less than about two centimeters. This requires precise tapping when using this menu, an accidental operation, especially when one scans the morning sleepy after alarm or glasses, are thus open the floodgates.

Secondly, there are around the lamp positioned buttons that are virtually suppressed automatically when lifting the alarm. You have to practice the handling of this unit so as not to accidentally press anything off or switch. The positions of the keys are arbitrary, Alarm 1 left, the first button, Alarm 2 right, penultimate button. Somewhere in between radio silent, on / off, loud, light darker, on / off, brighter. And then a button for the sleep timer. What to bring to make the light only light, and then to have become darker, I do not know if I want to sleep, I'll do the same dark. And the radio no longer means no less than a timer: The radio simply abruptly. I think that's poor. Why will not get any quieter, as the light fades slowly ???

Compared with the hypersensitive touch Menu must be just above the clock display press forcefully on an area to start the snooze function. Does not apply to the area or pressing too weak, the device does not respond. There were probably at least two development team at work!

In short: In my opinion, the service is a disaster.

2. The audio quality is appalling! In such an expensive product to incorporate such Quaklautsprecher plus Quakverstärker which creates even distortion even at very low volume levels, is an impudence.

Listen To The Radio? No, better not. And then you have only FM anyway. Mono, of course. But that did not interest me anyway, I wanted to nature sounds. Have you ever heard a harp? In nature, I mean ??? Not me! I might a carry out in nature, clearly, but that's not what I mean by natural sound that is "ambient music" (German: lift Gedudel). The only thing that sounded halfway useful were the seagulls seaside. The gulls Although constantly say the same thing, but that does not even sound the sound of the sea halfway realistic, is an indictment. Since indeed sounded the turntables, which have been previously incorporated into dolls or laugh bags, better!

Conclusion:

The only good thing about this thing is the light that really convinced that it is very slow light changes pretty nice hue and is the part of the product, which is perfectly managed. The acoustic alarm, the radio and especially the service are beneath contempt.

The only universal remote control! Rank: 5/5
