Philips AJ3231 Clock Radio review

If in the market for a functional, stylishly original clock the Philips AJ3231 Clock Radio should meet your expectations exactly. Gorgeously simple yet divinely styled, this clock is as much a timepiece as it is a object of admiration.

Instead of a screen clogged with information, the mirrored surface of the AJ3231 simply shows you the time on its elegant mirrored surface. Wake up to the clock’s buzzer or your own favourite station on the FM radio band. An included cable lets you plug in your MP3 player/ ipod as well. At night you can dim the clock’s brightness so it doesn’t interfere with your sleep. Also with a 9V battery backup you will never have to worry about being late for work should the power go off during the night. The AJ3231’s small dimensions means you have a ton of room left on your night stand for other things: lamp, glass of water, favourite book, etc.

If you like to receive a cataclysm of information when you wake such as temperature, humidity, date, etc, then this clock’s simple display will likely drive you mad. However, if you would rather find these things out in due time and want your clock to remain a clock instead of yet another computer in your house than the Philips AJ3231 Clock Radio will meet your demands with style and sophistication. With its modest price tag you can afford to get one for your spouse’s side of the bed as well.
