Bought this for the wife as I got fed up with her old fm/am clock radio.
Yeah the controls are a wee bit fiddlely but it's easliy resolved by a masterclass from my wife, the alarm set up is strange but I do think all Philips stuff is strange to set up initially, but once you get to know how then...easy.
I think it does look nice, a bit strange initially, due to the uprightnessd of the box and some knobs at the front, strange place to put them but easy to find if you want to up/down the volume or change the channel, turn and push, but once you get to know the machine then it's quite easy to figure out.
We did play about with this and some other dab clock radios in our local curry's digital and standing in the shop it did sell itself better than some of the rest, ok granted the Sony/Pure versions might have been easier to use but at the end of our day it's a bedroom dab clock radio that doesn't get cranked up and we're no audiophiles that at 0650 or 2230, for 30 mins that will know the difference in our ears between bbc radio2 waking us up in dab than a Roberts dab clock radio waking us up. And to top it off the wife is well and truly happy with the machine.

Just had to review this item, seeing a 1 star review which is just not justified. So what did I want from my product, firstly I wanted a clock radio, I wanted dab, I didn't want it to light up my bedroom when I slept, I want a toddler to be able to set the alarm and time, I want fairly good audio quality, and big time display. If you too want all of these then look no further. This has got to be the easiest device I've bought to set the time and alarm. The difficult bit is your not expecting it to be so easy.

If this had two alarms it would be perfect, it only has one. But you can set that to work Every Day, Weekdays, Weekends, or only on One Special day, which is handy. You can also set alarm to be buzzer, DAB, or FM, and (unlike what another reviewer says) you CAN indeed pre-set the max volume it will wake you up with, as part of the Alarm setup wizard.
We LIKE: at night, clock is very dim, so won't keep you awake unlike some. You can pre-set that brightness, or leave it on Auto where it dims down when you switch the light off. In morning, it starts at lowest volume and gradually ramps up, so it doesn't blast you awake. The initial setup of the Alarm is through a "wizard" but you only do that once, usually. Time keeps itself accurate through DAB, although don't think this is the default and you have to find that in the menu to set it to Auto Update. If power goes off, it should reset the clock properly when it comes back on (even without battery backup, which it doesn't have).
We LOVE: you can change the alarm time from the front on the bedside table, don't have to peer at any little buttons on top or slide switches round the side or work through any menus. When the radio comes on in the morning, as well as a very large Snooze bar on top, you just have a large ON/OFF button on top, not a tiny slide switch round the side or back, to kill the alarm until tomorrow, so VERY EASY TO USE.
Could be better: Why not two alarms? One for weekdays, one for weekends? Many others have this. Oh, and setting up Preset radio stations is a bit fiddly but is not THAT difficult, we found - and once done, it remembers all this for a loooooong time even if the power fails. The radio station it wakes you with is the last listened to - why can't you choose a specific station independent of what you were last listening to?

A great alarm clock!
This is a great little alarm clock. The sound quality is really good and not at all tinny, not loud enough to use as a main hi-fi but great for bedside listening. Read more

disappointed
The device is difficult to set up. Selection of preset stations is far from easy. The instructions are unclear. Read more
