Title: what were they thinking?
Product review: I expected a lot from this Philips CD alarm clock, and was very disappointed. My #1 complaint is that you can't see the clock unless you are viewing it exactly at eye level. (at pillow level, the numbers disappear, and all you have is a bright glowing blue rectangle.) The second problem is that the whirring sound that the CD player makes during "play" is louder than the music volume, until the gentle wake volume gradually increases loud enough to drown out the mechanism. The third problem is the intensity of the blue backlit clock display. The dimmest setting is still "near blinding" at 6 am. I would not recommend this product to anyone that I like.
