Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using the "Philips Wake-Up Light with Sunrise Simulation" clock for years, and it has become a necessary item in gloomy Seattle. Waking up to the light made a huge change on my winter mornings, and I love that device whole-heartedly. I was interested to see if Phillips had made any improvements with this model, but .... they haven't. I'm not really sure why they made this version. There are so many useful features that are not on this device, the most obvious being dual external switches to turn the alarms on and off. You are forced to use the touchscreen menu, which involves scrolling until you hit the option to activate your alarms. Being able to simply "tap on, tap off" on the top of the clock is a million times better. There are other issues with this model, but the basic advice is, yes, getting a wake-up light might just change your life, but not this one. Get the "Philips Wake-Up Light with Sunrise Simulation" model, and you will be much happier.
