I had a more expensive type of Philips digital clock radio that was giving intermittent trouble about 15 years ago. I opened it up and was shocked by the deplorable soldering in side. Hand soldered, cheap arse components, disgraceful component mounting, insufficient solder and dry joints everywhere. It was the worst soldering I have ever seen on a consumer product from a so-called reputable brand. Made in China of course. When so-called named brands start producing crap, sacrificing quality to save a few bucks, it scares customers off.
I have never bought anything with the Philips brand since. Would not even consider them.
