IKEA RÖDSTRÄFSE Alarm Clock with Hygro-/Thermometer review
An affordable bedside clock with dual alarms and useful room readings.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RÖDSTRÄFSE is IKEA’s battery-powered digital bedside alarm clock for people who want two alarm times alongside basic room readings. Its display shows the time, alarm status, date, temperature, and humidity, so it combines wake-up functions with a quick view of the room. The beige clock costs $14.99 as a one-time purchase. It suits a bedside setup where a straightforward display matters more than a larger feature set.
The clock keeps its alarm functions practical: it supports two separate alarm times and a nine-minute snooze, with either 12- or 24-hour time display. Brightness options include three manually adjustable backlight levels, while a light sensor adjusts display brightness to the surroundings. The screen can also be turned off. These controls make the display the main point of flexibility; this is a digital clock rather than a radio alarm, and it does not include projection rotation.
At $14.99, the published price makes it a low-cost choice for someone who specifically wants dual alarms and temperature and humidity readings without paying for more elaborate clock functions. It runs on two AA batteries, sold separately, so buyers should account for those as an additional purchase. Choose RÖDSTRÄFSE for a simple bedside clock that pairs room readings with separate alarm times. Consider another model if radio or a broader set of functions is central to the purchase.
