Review on πŸ” Optimized Search: Sony ICFCDK50 Kitchen CD Clock Radio Under Cabinet by Sean Moran

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's hard to be fair on this as the model we bought was refurbished

When my elderly mother called to tell me the CD on her 12 year old Sony had stopped working. I thought no problem, I'll just order another one of the same or similar Sony model. I was amazed when I saw the $600 price tag for a new one! These are crazy nuts! Finding a similar configuration was frustrating as most modern CD players only have FM radio, no AM. I found this repair for $100. A few preset buttons but in general the device works for my mom's needs; it plays CDs and receives AM radio. I understand CDs going the way of the dinosaurs, but for the older generation, that's all many will use. My mother will never use a streaming service. I only wish Sony or anyone else would continue to produce under the counter CD-AM/FM units that are high quality and easy to use. This model is probably affordable in its own way, which is why new ones are so expensive. Find a good refab and you should be more than happy with the preference.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Minor issues
