⏰ PHILIPS Digital Alarm Clock Radio: Bedroom FM Radio with LED Display, Easy Snooze, Sleep Timer & Battery Backup Review

The white version shows and describes the red numbers, but the numbers are actually green. For this reason I sent this clock radio back. The description also says the display can be dimmed, but I went through the instructions and looked at the clock radio myself and couldn't find a way to do this. Otherwise, it seems like a good clock radio if you don't mind the green numbers.

The display is very bright. Despite the description I don't see any dimmer controls and there is no mention of dimming in the instructions. I didn't think FM radio could reproduce a worse sound than crystal AM radio, but with this unit they did it. Requires batteries but clock is not secured. You have to reset the time every time there is a power failure. I regret this purchase and will soon (more carefully) choose a replacement.

The description says: CRISP DISPLAY LED DIGITS - The glossy black front panel looks smooth and uncluttered. Digital alarm clock - small size 0.6 inch. The green numbers are easy on the eye and easy to read in the bedroom, and the brightness can be reduced by 50%. Simple and easy to set up. THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS! Wrong description! Otherwise I love watches. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew the display wasn't dimmed. If it wasn't for that, it would have been 5 stars.

I think that with the advent of mobile phones, most alarm clock manufacturers have started to save a lot on the quality of their products. Remember, just a few years ago you could buy a watch with a cord that plugged into an outlet. Wall instead of a cheap adapter? A watch that could last for years? This tiny thing is flimsy and obviously very cheaply made. These external power supplies don't last long. However, it's not worth returning and I just put it in the bathroom.

I'm having a hard time using the button set but it suits my needs. I was amazed at the miniaturization of everything on the radio. The sound quality is good and I appreciate that the audio fades in when you turn it on and then gradually ramps up to full volume, which is a nice feature. Green numbers are easy to read. I'm getting used to how far Philips has come since they brought the first Norelco razors to the United States.

I thought "small" would be good as there isn't much room on the bedside table, but it also means the buttons are close together and difficult to distinguish. around in the dark and half asleep. The wrong key is always pressed when the radio is turned on or the alarm clock rings. Or the whole thing falls to the ground because it's so light it offers no resistance when carrying around in the dark. On the other hand, it does its job of waking us up in the morning and the price was right.

I don't like not being able to set the clock radio. First I tried it with pictures. It did not work. Then I followed the written instructions. I think I set an alarm and the instructions said it would go off every day. It doesn't sound like a radio or a buzzer, but a continuous hiss. I haven't heard the second alarm yet. My son even tried to install it but also without success. I saw another customer write a comment about not being able to set an alarm. She could set the time, but not the…

Cute little alarm clock, love the green numbers (the main reason I chose it) and definitely good value. Press a very small button - most likely in the dark, as in my case - it is the same size and shape as other small buttons. It would be nice if there was a big toggle switch to turn it off or a big button to press. Setting the alarm is also a bit difficult due to the multi-function setting instead of a dedicated switch to toggle between alarm and time settings. Luckily I don't have to change…
