Review on πŸ•°οΈ Sony ICFC1PJ Alarm Clock Radio,Black: Sleek and High-Performance Wake-Up Companion by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Might be a great alarm clock, though.

I don't know why it's so hard for Sony to build a real alarm clock. It's so simple, they have all the details, but they seem to lack a designer who could add some practicality to this product. I've previously reviewed Sony's ICFC717PJ alarm clock and almost all of the same bugs remain, plus a new bug or two. - All buttons are still very noisy, so setting a new alarm clock next to a light sleeper will likely wake them up. Put a ledge next to it (those little kitchen ledges that keep drawers from slamming shut) so I can find it in the dark or when I'm tired. Look at the photo where I placed my stamp. - Made the setup a bit more complicated as the button that takes you to the "next" setting (hour->minute->am/pm->etc.) is now a non-intuitive snooze button. as alarm buttons A or alarm B. - Although small, the cube seems larger than it should be. - There is no thermometer in this model, I really liked this feature in ICFC717PJ, it's very disappointing because it was useful to know - And the OMFG alarm makes a LOUD BEEP AFTER SETTING THE ALARM! Who the heck thought hey let me make a loud beep to fully wake up your spouse after they're already half awake from other key presses? I want to know so I can call him at 1am and BOOK in his ear for putting this stupid feature in place. To breathe. Blanket, so they're right about one thing. Despite all these shortcomings, it's still an alarm clock with all the features I need: ceiling projection, two alarm settings, and nature sounds as an alarm. Sony is SO CLOSE to making good watches.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Something's wrong
