Clock Radio

My old clock/radio/alarm/charger died on me - so this was a great alternative to the many cables that cluttered my bedside table. Love the wireless charger for my phone, the easy set up and great sound from the radioDAB, and the dimmable LED .

Very good clock radio, the downsides are: at night the watch light is too strong even at minimum brightness, it's not so easy to setup functions and I gave up trying to use the wireless charger as it disconnects very easily, so I ended up connecting via cable, many mornings my wife found out her iPhone didn't charger over wireless.

The display is good although it does not display the DAB station track information automatically. I like the high/medium/low display settings. I set it up and it comes on for a time before going off automatically. So my procedure is to wake up, switch it off and back on and select the station I want and relax. It will do for the moment until I want a better DAB radio alarm clock.

The instructions included are very very poor and are not easy to follow. I Have contacted Philips technical help twice and was not impressed with the reply /remedy I received. You get very little time to follow the instruction manual before it times out and you then have to start all over again. VERY FRUSTRATING. I purchased 2 of these radios and still have not got the hang of them even after a month. The best thing about it is the wireless iphone charging - never failed me yet even through the signal has to go through a leather flip case..

Did not realise that there is no headphone facility.

this clock radio has lots of good points but its biggest drawback is the antenna I and no ability to had an external and antenna. This means if your DAB signal is weak in your area then the quality reception will be seriously diminished

Terrible design, really difficult to programme, tiny icons to see which alarm is set. But worst of all, programming the DAB+ is ridiculously difficult. I have had this for a few weeks, thinking I'd work it out, as I'm very tech savvy, but I can't! Reading the reviews, it looks like the idiots who designed it need sacking. So, I can't send it back and still cannot work out how to set my radio station of preference to wake up to. It wakes me up to a random radio station playing dance/rave music!!! It is the worst piece of tech I have ever bought. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! THIS IS GOING IN THE BIN.

I bought this bedside radio mainly for the single touch button setting the sleep time. When using the sleep function the the radio turns off as expected after the time period but when turning on the radio the default station is the first station on the DAB list and not the station being listened to while falling asleep. Backup batteries installed etc.
