Avon Sunrise Alarm

When I stumbled across the Avon Sunrise alarm in a catalogue, I was intrigued by the sight of it, and so decided to have about it. Seemed a great idea to me, as I hate nothing more than the sudden Shriek of our normal alarm clock at the crack of dawn, especially in the dark winter months. Priced at just £10 it seemed too good to be true! Before ordering the Alarm, I decided to search about on the internet to see if I could find anything similar, and came across a similar thing made by Philips, but the only obvious difference was the price of the Philips Alarm which was very close to 10 times more!!

I started trying to make life more comfortable for myself last September, looking at the Philips sunrise alarm in John Lewis. The display model felt cheap and nasty, the staff had no idea how to even set the time on it, I hated the clock face and size and I left the shop feeling I'd saved the best part of £100. The Lumie Bodyclock seemed a good alternative, but this was bulky, fiddly and everything else I was desperate to ...  Read the complete review
