![]() The Pure Siesta Rise is $200, a steep price for a clock radio. Not terrible, especially if you only have one outlet and prefer to charge your phone at night when it is switched off. ![]() The wall charger is 5.5V and 2000mA, so even though it has a USB-A port to charge your phone, it will be charging far slower than most standalone wall chargers. You can see a lot of effort has been put into the functionality, and thus would make a great bedside edition, especially if you need multiple alarms. The tone alarm also gradually increases and isn’t so blaring. When the radio alarm goes off, the volume gradually increases, if you hit snooze, then for 10 minutes you can rest (and there is a little icon on the right of the display and SNOOZED at the bottom confirming this). Setting the alarm is easy, just hold down one of the three alarm buttons, then choose the time, whether to hear the radio or a tone, the station, the volume and the frequency. For such a small device it has good range and deep sound. The volume range is good – the dial goes from 0 to 32, and the speaker quality is by far the standout feature. A bit of a pain, but the alternative is to easily save the presets. You can select another station two ways, manually pressing the Snooze/ Station Select button then advancing alphabetically left or right using the volume buttons. Turning the Siesta Rise on, you are greeted with it finding available DAB radio stations and the time. In my opinion, it would have been better if they were separate. The volume buttons also double as the station advance. The white colour is your basic modern clock radio look with an easy to read font. Out of the box, you notice the wall charger is micro USB – great that they are sticking with an industry standard. The Pure Siesta Rise is a nice compact size, but packs quite a few features into its design. ![]() ![]() If you do want a great experience, and money isn’t much of an issue the Pure Siesta Rise should be on your radar. In yesteryear, you always had one on your bedside table, tuned to the right station and at a reasonable volume. Most people aren’t thinking too hard about upgrading their alarm clock. ![]()
