I owned and used a Braun travel alarm for about twenty years, and it was as reliable as you could want. This newer model so far seems to be the same.It is bulkier than my old one, but the cover is more secure. I wish the cover could lock in its open position as it does in its closed position. As it is, the cover often drags when you lift the clock, and the noise could disturb a lightly sleeping spouse.As another reviewer pointed out, the light does not illuminate the dial well, but I've been able to make out the time anyway. This was true for my older model as well.The alarm is sufficiently loud without being obnoxious. It does not really "crescendo" as the Braun Web site claims. Rather it, increases the number of beeps per second. That's not what I expected, but it works.The controls are simple and fairly intuitive, better than the earlier model.
