What you need to know
Reviewed on: 16 August 2007
Tags: pure digital, earth, tune, morning
We like:
Affordable; low power consumption; decent sound; good DAB reception; simple display
We don't like:
Alarm setup takes some practice; only single speaker driver
You might also need:
Bedside table, earphones
CNET UK judgement:
A lovely little DAB radio alarm clock. Not the single most stylish radio we've ever seen but performs well and is priced perfectly. If you demand audio quality you should check out a model with two speakers, but most casual alarm clock users will find the Siesta delightful.
