  • SOT: Lexon Flip Premium

    From Scott@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 5 17:15:41 2023
    Does anyone have experience of the Lexon Flip Premium radio-controlled
    alarm clock? I have looked at reviews and there seem to be concerns
    about build quality and suggestions it is not as good as the basic
    model. There is uncertainty about how long it runs between charges. I
    like the idea of recharging as a concept but sometimes I think very
    low power consumption devices are better with alkaline batteries.

    My cheap one from Lidl runs for 5-10 years on a single AA cell (and when
    it finally becomes unusable it's because the LC display is becoming
    unreadable - the radio clock part is still working fine). It's not an
    alarm, though (or, if it is, I don't use that function); presumably that
    would run down the cell sooner.

    I've not heard of it, but I do have a radio here which is rechargeable but
    it also has a handle to hand crank the charger, and a solar panel and a
    space for two dry cells to maintain it while you crank it. It also acts as a powerbank and can charge your phone, sadly they never built in a clock, but
    it has a nice siren and very bright light I'm told.
