Pure P147504 Siesta Rise DAB+/DAB/FM Digital Radio Alarm Clock, with USB Phone Charging, CrystalVue Auto-Dim Display, 3 Radio or Tone Alarms and 20 Station Pre-Sets, Black and White

I've had Pure DAB alarm clocks before, and this is the best one so far in my opinion.Maybe it's because I've had others that the process of setting an alarm is 2nd nature, but I don't have any problems with any of the menu features as some people seem to have.Straight out of the box, unfurled the aerial wire, plugged it in and waited about 30 seconds while it set itself up.I literally had to do nothing, it set the correct time and tuned in to multiple DAB stations. I then just scrolled through until I found my chosen station and saved it as a preset by holding the preset button down.The Alarms are great, I have the first one set to weekdays at 6:30am, thev2nd alarm set for 8am for weekends, and have the 3rd alarm set for Once for those other odd occasions.Snooze works at 10 min intervals.The DAB (or FM which seems just as good) wakes you up by gradually increasing the volume to the max volume that you have set when setting the alarm. I set at 10 which is loud enough. Tone is also an option but not tested that.The sound of the radio is good, the best I've had so far for a clock radio, mellow but with adjustment for bass & treble. Plenty loud enough for the bedroom. Headphone socket on the back as well if you need it as well as a USB connection on the back for your phone if you want to charge it up.The display that a lot of people seem to not like, in my opinion is great. Big clear numbers, bright during the day and auto adjusting to very dim at night. In a dark bedroom the numbers are very clear without dazzling you at night or lighting up the room. You can manually set the brightness if you don't like the auto settings but I think they are great.All in all a smart looking, good sounding, good value DAB alarm clock that wakes you up gently and with an auto setup that does a lot for you straight out of the box.I'm going to buy another for my wife's side of the bed as I really like it.

First, I am a massive Pure fan, this being the sixth I have owned - one for each room of my house, plus a pocket radio. I bought this after, strangely, watching the excellent film "The Lost of Honour of Christopher Jefferies" (well worth a watch!). In it, he has an alarm clock radio, being woken by the dulcet tones of John Humphrey's on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. I fancied that as a start to my day, too.The radio is excellent in design, a lovely stylish piece of design for any bedroom. The pictures of the item reflect it totally accurately. The display is excellent; it genuinely does dim to a level in the dark which is clearly visible without casting light into the room. The off-white plastic and grey speaker fabric look classy and the subtle tones lt the object segue nicley into the room.The sound is among the best of any Pure radio I have had - not as bassy like the Evoke series, nor tinny. It's volume goes plenty loud enough to mean I can listen to it from my study across the landing. Conversely, the volume goes low enough to be able to fall asleep with the volume low enough to hear for comfort, but not loud enough to the words being spoken and hence become distracted from sleep. The volume is far more closely-adjustable than all the other Pure radios I have.The instructions are diagrammatic and must be followed logically to understand how to operate the radio. Once you have understood this and got the hang of how things work, it is very simple, clear and intuitive.ALSO - you can set the radio to wake you up to a different station than that you fell asleep to. When the alarm goes, it begins from the lowest and climbs to the level of volume that you will have chosen when setting the alarm - i.e. plenty loud enough to wake you for sure! When the alarm does go and you have woken, pressing the volume down" button will lower the volume to that of your choice, without turning the sound off. Pressing any of the "back row" buttons turns off the alarm as you would a normal alarm clock, but in doing so you turn of the radio, which you probably don't want.There is also an option to be woken up by a tone, but I haven't used that.

ProsIt's nice and smallIt has a USB charging port which is at the back (others have ports at the side or top which leaves an ugly cable poking out)It has three alarms and you change the volume of the alarm and station (doesn't have to be the station you listened to last)It has adjustable brightness which can be done manually or automatically. I have it on auto and the dimmest setting is great - you can see the time in the dark but it doesn't bring much light in the roomIt has an adjustable snooze timeSound quality is goodIt has a shoelace aerial instead of telescopic which I preferIt looks nice and seems to be good qualityIt isn't too bigComes with a 3 year guaranteeConsIt's expensive (I think it should be £20 cheaper)The instruction manual is poorThe digits displaying the time are a bit big - no big deal but I am being picky because of the priceThe radio comes on quietly and the volume increases gradually - again, I'm being picky hereOverallI've been spoilt by having a Roberts dab alarm clock which worked really well for years, looked good, sounded good, was better value etc but I like this and I am happy with it (I had bought the Majority Abbey first but it was very cheap and nasty). But I think this radio is a bit overpriced. I've knocked one star off because of the price

Chiffres peu lisibles : le jour à cause des reflets ; la nuit, à cause du dimmer. Chiffres trop collés. Pas de batterie de secours en cas de coupure de courant. Sinon (très) bon appareil.

Todo.

È "Made in England" e lo si vede subito dalla presa elettrica fornita anche con un adattatore per la presa italiana e da attaccare direttamente sul trasformatore (già da questo si capisce che è stata progettata con criterio).Audio: ottimo ! È un audio progettato per una camera da letto. Al massimo volume (32) in Radio DAB effettivamente distorce ma fino a 25\26 il suono è bello pulito e soprattutto già bello intenso, considerando che sì è in una camera da letto e che non è un impianto Audio. Il suono inoltre è adeguatamente profondo da ascoltare sdraiati sul letto: non è mica una radiolina che strambazza e che sembra dare fastidio.Estetica: vista da vicina è un po' più carina che in foto. La volevo di colore blu marine ma non era disponibile. L'ho presa bianca che comunque fa una bella figura. È rifinita bene, le plastiche danno una sensazione di robustezza (ovviamente credo che se cade a terra si possa rompere) e sono ben assemblate.Display: ottimo ! Ha la doppia regolazione: manuale su 5 livelli e automatica (come sugli smartphone). La regolamentazione automatica funziona bene ed adatta bene la luminosità del display alla condizioni di luce ambientale. Di notte, al buio non dà alcun fastidio e basta aprire gli occhi per vedere l'ora, anche da diverse angolazioni (senza esagerare di pretendere di vedere l'ora quasi di lato). Si può anche impostare di visualizzare anche la data in formato italiano (molto comodo). Mi piace il colore bianco/grigio dei caratteri sul fondo nero, gradevole e mai fastidioso per la vista.Alla prima accensione non abbiate paura se non si accende subito: attendere circa 30 secondi per la sincronizzazione ed è pronta impostata con l'ora esatta e la data, grazie alla Radio DAB (motivo per cui non ha bisogno della batteria tampone, che tra l'altro se intanto si è scaricata non può servire più a nulla e non potresti nemmeno accorgertene salvo controllare di tanto in tanto).Ricezione DAB: almeno nel mio caso dopo la prima accensione l'ora esatta e la data si sono impostate automaticamente ma sembrava che la ricezione Radio DAB fosse scadente se non proprio assente (viste anche le tacchette a zero). È bastato poi avviare uno scrolling dalle funzioni del Menu ed è subito DAB: ricerca con tacchette a 2/3 su 4 (nel mio caso) e stazioni Radio DAB a volontà.Alla prima accensione togliere l'adesivo di protezione sul display perché altrimenti sembra che non funziona il display (ihihi).Un difetto però gliel'ho trovato: tasto snooze piccolo per me che al risveglio vuole per forza cercarlo ad occhi chiusi. Ritengo che questa scelta sia meramente stilistica anche se poco pratica. Credo che riuscirò ad adattarmi (spero).Giudizio complessivo: ottimo. Credo che ne farò anche un regalo per quell'amico dormiglione.

Magnifique radio réveil. Bonne réception DAB+ chez moi. Qualité de son très acceptable et bien meilleure que le cube Sony DAB+. (J'ai les 2 et je peux comparer. J'apprécie le réglage de la luminosité auto. Un reproche seulement sur la manip à faire pour vérifier les horaires programmés des alarmes. Il faut entrer dans le menu de réglage de l'alarme. Moins pratique que sur le Sony qui, lorsque l'alarme est activée, affiche l'heure programmée. Si vous comptez mettre un radio réveil DAB+ sur votre table de chevet (c'est davantage sa place que dans la cheminée...), veillez à ne pas utiliser d'ampoule led dans votre lampe de chevet. Ça flingue la réception DAB+. C'est un problème connu d'interferences des LEDs de piètre qualité (amazonbasics chez moi :-(... ). Donc retour aux ampoules halogènes ou à incandescences.Bon rapport qualité-prix globalement. A ce prix, ce n'est pas une affaire mais on en a pour son argent.

Wer kennt das nicht "der Wecker ist zu hell" , "man kann den Alarm nicht abbrechen, so das er am nächsten Tag klingelt" , "die Bedienung ist nicht eindeutig genug".Ich habe lange nach einen Ersatz für meinen Grundig Sonoclock 53 gesucht! Der Anspruch war erst nicht so hoch gesteckt, er sollte nur gut ablesbar sein, während der Weckwiederholung möchte ich den Wecker abschalten können ohne ihn für den Nächsten Tag wieder einschalten zu müssen und ohne die Komplette Snooze Zeit durchlaufen zu müssen und die Bedienung sollte einfach sein.Die Suche ging los.Philips 3552 hatte das grösste Potenzial. Aber das Display ist zwar dimmbar (automatisch), aber selbst in der kleinsten Stufe für mich nicht dunkel genug. Steht der Wecker zu tief, ist er nicht ablesbar. Und die Weckfunktion ist zwar ok, aber es gibt nur die Möglichkeit der Snooze Funktion oder den Alarm für den Tag abzuschalten. Für den nächsten Tag müsste man ihn erst wieder einschalten. Vergisst man das ....!Das alles kann der Pure besser. Ok, er ist auch ein wenig teurer, aber er ist für mich das Beste am Markt.Klein, grosses Display was aus jedem Winkel gut ablesbar ist. Die Dimmbarkeit läuft auch hier automatisch (nicht wie beim sony) und die dunkelste Leuchtkraft ist nicht störend. Die Snooze Funktion lässt sich über die Snooze Taste einschalten, will man den Alarm aber für diesen Tag beenden, drückt man einfach einen Schalter in der 2. Reihe und der Alarm ist für diesen Tag beendet, ist aber nicht deaktiviert, so das er am Nächsten Tag zur Programmierten Zeit weckt. Man kann sich also sicher sein.Kurz um, die Engländer haben hier viel richtig gemacht, gut, er Zeigt mir zwar nicht die Alarmzeit permanent im Display an, aber ich sollte ja wohl wissen, wann ich am nächsten Tag geweckt werden möchte!Der Klang ist ok! Halt nur Mono.Also, Sony ,Philips und Pure bestellen und vergleichen. es wird der Pure werden!!
