Clock Radio

An extremely well designed clock one cannot help admiring. It’s accurate and the alarm function is very good. I haven’t used the radio functions hence cannot comment on the quality of that. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.

[Employee of philipsglobal] An extremely well designed clock one cannot help admiring. It’s accurate and the alarm function is very good. I haven’t used the radio functions hence cannot comment on the quality of that. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.

Purchased as a replacement for my very old alarm and so far so good this clock fits the bill. It has everything you need in an alarm clock, with some nice extras. Looks good, mains power with battery back up, clear display with dimmer control, positive press button control, dual alarm/radio. The instructions could be daunting for some, very criptic, having said that, once you have cracked the code, it is all plain sailing.

I am not great with technology and I can handle this. My only criticism is if the clock faces towards a window, it reflects the light so from many angles in the room you can't see the time!

I tried to register this product but when I was asked for the year the latest year offered is 2017 although I purchased in January 2018. Therefore the details that I have been forced to register are in accurate. How can I stop the two dots between the hour and minutes on the time from constantly flashing? I have tried preset and nothing happens. This is going to drive me mad on my bedside table and I shall have to put a shield in front of the screen which defeats the object of having the time accessible.

Very pleased with this clock radio especially as the display as three settings. Only had it a few days so time will tell if it is reliable.

Very attractive and easy to read even, in the dark. But the instructions are almost unintelligible. I can't reset the time or alarm. and have to use in conjunction with an old fashioned alarm clock.

Is this really Philips?? Ordered silver, decided I didn’t really mind when told “they are all white”. Now writing this after my first use. I had to go online to get instructions as the leaflet was no help. No chance of oversleeping with this device - it has inbuilt multiple safeguards - firstly the radio gets louder - and louder - and LOUDER. This cannot be adjusted so you switch it off then on again. In order to do this you reach and adjust by feel the backward sloping controls. The first thing you hit is the dimmer switch so that immediately brightens giving immediate visual stimulation The lightweight device cleverly moves back out of reach. Bedside light, glass of water and radio are all on the floor...cold wet carpet further adding to the multi sensory waking experience. Be reassured you will never be late for work again.

Product looks good but the alarm bleep is too quite and although the instructions tell you you can set the radio as the alarm they don't tell you how which is the whole point of having instructions and so I will be returning this product at the weekend after owning and struggling with it for a week

Difficult to set up but finally managed to set the alarm time (radio). Radio comes on at low volume then becomes louder (an annoying feature but maybe suits some people). However there is no way to change this feature. The main problem is that the radio then shuts itself off after a couple of minutes. My previous clock alarm stayed on so that I was able to listen to the news on the radio for a while until I myself decided to switch it off. So I could come alive gradually. So basically there is very limited individual control of the settings. Another design fault is that the buttons on the top of the radio are almost flush with the body of the radio, making them difficult to locate in the dark and when you've just woken up.
