Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020
Update, 2022. Keep in mind I purchased this in 2017. It is still a life saver. I purchased one of the $40 Bluetooth models for my daughter, thinking it would work just as well considering I bought this one so long ago. Technology must have become less expensive over time, right? Wrong. It was crap and it didn’t even play radio stations, and it also randomly turned on and off at awful times throughout the night. I will never regret this purchase. I hope the bulb never burns out. My favorite alarm clock ever. I’d never dreamed I’d say I love an alarm clock. I am not a morning person.

Original review, September 2020: You know, I still love this thing. I saw some similar models for $40 that are Alexa compatible.. and I’m reading in between the lines that they’re nothing compared to the Philips.
This thing has saved my life many many times. I have mine set to start the “sunrise” 30 minutes before my first alarm. So the “sun is up” before the alarm (which I have set to my favorite morning radio show, Preston and Steve). The first alarm I have set to volume 4, then 20 minutes later, the second alarm starts, At volume 7 which makes it loud for my brain to start listening and waking up more.
My whole life, I have struggled to wake up in the morning. This alarm has literally been a life saver for me and a game changer. Totally worth the price and I’ll never go back!!
