Product Description
Manufacturer's Description

| Repeat alarm |
Start your day the right way by waking up gently to a gradually increasing alarm volume. Normal alarm sounds with a pre-set volume are either too low to wake you up or are so uncomfortably loud that you are rudely jolted awake. Choose to wake up to your favourite music, radio station or buzzer alarm. Gentle wake's alarm volume gradually increases from subtly low to reasonably high in order to gently rouse you.
Repeat alarm
To counter oversleeping, the Philips Clock radio has a snooze feature. Should the alarm ring and you wish to continue sleeping a bit longer, simply press the Repeat Alarm button once and go back to sleep. Nine minutes later the alarm will ring again. You can continue to press the Repeat Alarm button every nine minutes until you turn off the alarm altogether.
Five one-touch radio presets
Access your favourite stations with simple one-touch operation
Sleep timer
Sleep timer lets you decide how long you want to listen to a radio station of your choice before falling asleep. Simply set a time limit (up to 1 hour) and choose a radio station to listen to while you drift off to sleep. The set will continue to play for the selected duration and then automatically switch off to a power-efficient, silent stand-by mode. Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep to your favourite radio presenter without counting sheep or worrying about wasting energy.

The sound is okay (and, while it is indeed okay, read this in terms of radio alarm clocks). The 'gentle wake' system sounds good but the reality is limited. I'd imagined waking to the gradually increasing volume of the radio but instead, it only works on the alarm, which is something of an old-school alarm clock buzzer getting slightly more frenetic. The radio presets are on the side, which is not ideal, though it depends how much you change them. You can alter the display and dim or turn off the backlight (reviewers of certain other clock radios seem to be having tape over over-bright displays). While turning the display off is useful, it's a shame there aren't more steps in the brightness cycle, so you could adjust to your own sense of how much light you'd like while sleeping. So, overall, sound isn't bad, you can see the display without it seeming like daylight. It's a neat, compact unit and seems not bad for the price. However, these surely must only be entry level criteria for a radio alarm clock, it seems like some serious evolution is required in the field.

The alarm is quite nice to look at, it's quite compact and is very easy to set up radio stations and alarms (2).
There are only 5 pre-sets for radio stations and although there are two alarms, as far as I can tell you can only have one radio alarm and one buzzer alarm.
There is a large button at the top of the alarm that has a double function: sleep button for alarm and dimmer switch for the backlight.
All in it's a nice little alarm. I would however, echo the previous comments that in the age of space tourism, cloning and quantum engineering that I'd expect a little bit more from an alarm. Especially when you can buy a freeview box/multi region dvd player for the same price.

This radio looks smart and is fairly easy to setup. I use the radio to wake me in the mornings, but am often woken with loud static. The radio looses its station settings for no reason. The radio stations then have to be reset. It is not an electrical connection fault as the clock settings are ok. It has now happened once too often and this morning I dumped it in the bin! I can't be bothered to package it up and send it back.
This may be just a rogue one, but beware.

Good design let down by sloppy thinking
I picked this item primary for its design, but also because it used a digital tuner and had station presets which was (at the time) quite rare. Read more

Not great
Returned this product as i found the time display to be hard to read making it pointless, its too pixely and cannot be read in the light or very well in the dark.
