Anonymous verified purchaser , “Overworked, Kent”

Score 7.0/10

+ The display is very clear, maybe a bit too bright. Very hard to find a dual alarm clock so was pleased to find one with a radio or buzzer choice.

- The buttons are located at the side and are quite hard to turn off in the dark. You need to pick it up to turn the correct alarm off as it has dual alarms. The buttons should be raised a bit so you can feel them in the dark and be able to turn them off, better still be on top of the clock.
As the clock has a mirror display, there is a lot of fingerprints now on there where we have to pick it up all the time to turn the alarm off.

Mike, Cambridge

Score 4.0/10

+ Very nice looking radio alarm with an excellent display.

- Difficult to set with fiddly controls, very tinny sound and when set to radio alarm both the buzzer and the radio come on together. I took the first one back to change it but the second one does the same. I can't afford the time and the petrol to keep going back so I am living with it, but very disappointing nevertheless. Performance is nowhere near as good as it looks

+ good looking bit of kit

- Alarm controls on side can be fiddly and easy to hit alarm off instead of snooze first thing in the morning

+ Looks nice, clear display, reasonable sound quality. Like that I can dim the display light if need be.

- Didn't find buttons on the side particularly easy to use, especially in the dark mornings, would prefer them to be on the top!! Sure I'll get used to them tho!!

Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent display. Good for regular use. Takes a little getting used to. Takes up very little space.

- After the alarm has gone off (and the radio is on) the dam thing bleeps at you quietly behind the radio until you turn it off. Quite anoying. Still think that it is an excellent clock. Side controls are a little fiddly.
