its ok for 1 Year or so but failure will begin after the warranty ends
its a good valued device Bluetooth, DAB+ radio, FM, dual alarm system, Ipod and Ipad dock system with added AUX headphone input make this system choco block full of features, the sound is nice. Better in features to the Clock alarm and dock system they use at Novotel's and Mercure hotels the IHOME which only has Ipad 30pin connectors and FM it also has better sound. But the iHOME dock compared to the Philips DTB297 is that its more robust, it feels robust as opposed to the Philips which is more scratch able, the clock LCD display is much bright...Read more
er than the Philips. for the first year of my usage has been good now into my 2nd and 3rd year where random issues begin whilst I have my ipad mini on the dock the volume down button if pressed too many times turns off the Philips dock quiet annoying, the Alarm 1 button key some times will work or not it depends on how many times your press the button. The clock display is very dull and washes out during the day so its useless as a clock can't even see what Audio input I want. the battery backup of 2 AA batteries is rubbish doesn't last long, that is why I will not be wasting my hard earn money on replacing this device and waiting for the iHOME people to come out with a lightning version of their lovely clock radio if not already I don't even care about the Bluetooth or DAB features of the Philips anymore which by the way Bluetooth pairing with the device is a hit and miss and searching DAB radio on this device is not the best maybe due to its lack of buttons that are on the Philips dock that makes this dock not the best. I think the Philips quality of old from 1990's 2000's is well and truly gone since the takeover, the product doesn't feel like Philips quality and sure doesn't last as long, this clock radio ipad dock I got is soon destined for the rubbish tip as no one is repairing these devices anymore they are "throwaways" they don't even have spare parts for these devices in Australia.1 comment

Gday Anthony a wise word on this device I tried to get similar thing replaced as the led of the clock Is weak it was told to me by the repair man that this device is unrepairable so till this day it’s still working but with weak led display it seems to me buyer beaware of these alarm clock docking stations they are what they are rubbish I replaced with a iHome alarm and IPhone docking station from Amazon America, Novotel hotels use these fine docks in their hotel rooms very reliable.

We have contacted the product team regarding your review to see if we can be of any assistance for you. However, the relevant team thinks that the unit has had a lot of use and that might be the cause of the issues. One of our service centers would repair the unit for you, but it would probably cost more than the unit or a replacement unit is worth. Please know that the product team now is aware of your feedback and will use it to improve the quality of the products. Kind regards, The Philips Australia Team
