Wooden Alarm Clock Radio(Brown)

I have had a number of alarm clock radios - all have failed in some significant way (like the one I had that selected the days it wanted to go off, you never knew if it was going to wake you or not! Lol). But this one is brilliant! Positives 1. Brightness. I have the brightness set to minimum. This means that in the day time you can barely make out the numbers but at night it is of a level that is easy to read without keeping you awake. 2. Colour. The colour of the light is a warm mellow yellow which is so much more relaxing than some I have had with their ‘keep you awake’ blue or green displays. 3. Controls. I am someone who hates complex control interfaces. This one is simplicity itself. The huge snooze button on top is easy to ht if snoozing is needed and the rest of the time it is also the change of brightness button. So in day time if you want to read the time, just press it a coupe of times to go from max dim, to off, to max bright. Simples. Likewise if you want to listen to the radio during the day, the appropriate button is clearly marked. 4. Charging. The induction charging for the phone is again simplicity itself. Just lay the phone on top. There is a ridge at the front edge to make accurate positioning of the phone a doddle. 5. Wood. The wood effect of the alarm is very good and the whole device is unobtrusive, dare I say, even elegant sitting there on the bedside table. Negatives. 1. Sound quality. I have had better sounding radios but, and I stress this, I have had significantly worse sounding ones too. Overall the sound is reasonably crisp with reasonable high and low notes. Whilst it might not win any awards against your hifi, it is perfectly acceptable as a radio alarm. 2. The ease of use of the controls also means that it is easy to hit one by mistake. Most frequently, the brightness (snooze) button whilst going for your phone that is busy charging on top. This is being very picky though and is not enough of an issue to move the product from a five star rating. Overall I rate this alarm/radio very highly, by far and away the best I have ever had.

Everything works as it should, looks really stylish and the display dimmer is great, my old clock radios display was too bright, felt like I was trying to sleep in a lighthouse.

Well not quite. There are a few minor niggles. Volume control wheel is at the back so a bit fiddly when you are fumbling at 6:30 in the morning. I also find the display brightness level 3 is too bright at night but level 4 is invisible by day, so I am having to adjust the brightness each time. Biggest niggle is the crappy FM antenna which is a length of wire. A proper antenna would set this baby apart. But these are trifling issues. This unit produces a decent sound, looks good, is simple to use and charges my phone (though I cannot vouch for the wireless charging). The alarm even has a fade, which is a nice touch. For the discounted price I paid, I am happy with my purchase.

Excellent- clock looks neat, is stable, clear digital display, radio quality is better than expected, easy to use and has wireless mobile charging and a spare usb port! Great value for money, nice design. Brightness control and alarm options!

Top Quality, value for money

I am very impressed with the design of this clock radio, and I particularly like the cool LED display, which has 5 levels of brightness. However, it's badly let down by the wire aerial, which is incapable of picking up a decent reception. The sound has nice bass levels, but there's a crackly distortion when people are speaking due to the poor signal. It's such a shame that a beautifully designed piece has a budget-price aerial. Also, the speakers at the rear have no protection and can easily be damaged, and this may also be contributing to the sound issues. It looks impressive, though.

Delivery as scheduled. Item exactly as shown. The dimmer has 5 settings and these range from really bright to off. I love it. Great at night. The radio is a bit tinny, but doesn’t cause any issues. Phone charger works effortlessly even with phone in a case. Easy to operate. Price good too. Delighted with my purchase.

I can’t really fault this to be honest. I’ve used the radio feature a few times, but I bought this more for it’s wireless charging feature (which works perfectly) and its loud alarm. Only issue with the radio feature is that the antenna is basically a metre length of wire - which is fine if you’re planning on putting it against a wall or somewhere where you don’t need to access anything behind the clock, but less so if you do. You’d probably need to tape the wire to a wall and obviously it’ll get in the way if you’ve got to have it trailing around. However, I’ve got the wire coiled up neatly and tucked behind and the radio still works and sounds fine. I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice looking digital alarm clock - if you’re planning on using the radio function, make sure you find somewhere to put it first, where you can attach the wire properly.

Just perfect size for nightstand at bedside. Recommended

Easy to programme. Tone is a bit on the lower end needs slightly more treble, no tone adjustment. Apart from that really nice little unit. Does what it says.

No indication in ad description that it was supplied with a uk plug. Have to buy an adapter.
