Sunrise Alarm
Customers have a generally positive opinion towards the sunrise alarm feature of the Philips Somneo Sleep and Wake-up Light Therapy Lamp, with some expressing strong satisfaction and others mentioning minor issues. The sunrise alarm helps improve wake up experience for many users, especially during dark mornings, while some find it difficult to turn alarms on/off.
Build Quality
Some customers have reported issues with the build quality of the product, mentioning cracks in plastic and poor sound quality. Despite these concerns, others have found the product to be robust and worth the cost. However, some purchasers have had difficulties with installation and have expressed disappointment with their experience, leading them to avoid future Philips purchases.
Highlights
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.

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
