Quality


Like my previous 11-year-old philips wake-up light, this one has customizable brightness and duration settings for the wake-up routine.


The light does a great job imitating the sun and the clock display is dim enough that it isn’t distracting at night.


Every other alarm clock i've ever owned, you can turn alarms on and off with a single button press.


The sound choices are only 2 nature sounds, radio, no sound and aux.

Price


Yes, it's expensive but so so worth it!


It’s not worth saving ~$20 or so without those features, imho.


The hatch you have to pay a subscription, which i think is nuts to pay for a subscription to use the basic functions of the alarm clock.


I was hesitant because of the price, but so glad i went for it.

Shipping


There is the possibility that i may have to send this one back when it arrives, but in the meantime i still have an alarm to use.

Competitiveness


I like a lot of things about this light, which replaced an older phillips model.


I tried a different brand, but setting the wake time was just awful to set and limited.


Conclusion: this philips is more expensive than some competitors.


There’s a similar model that sells for a bit less without the connectivity features.

    Its as simple as it gets


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The app is limited by country so i had to download an apk to use it and you seem to need account for some of the functionality which is a shame but not as bad as a monthly payment system that some products use these days

    I bought this wakeup lamp in early 2021
