Review on ⏰ Sony ICFC414 Clock Radio - Limited Availability, Perfect for Home and Office Use by Everett Underberg

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great alarm clock! on compact radios and stereos

I feel like an idiot disassembling an alarm clock but I like this one. In the last few years I've had 4-5 alarm clocks that I either got rid of or just tolerated. An old alarm clock that I've been using for a long time didn't work properly so I bought this one. I couldn't be happier. The programming can be understood intuitively without a manual. The plastic is slightly shiny and pleasant to look at; The face is very clear. Two wake-up calls were mandatory for me. The first allows sound or radio, and the second allows sound or strange melodies. Thing. I like the buzzer because it sounds a little higher than I've heard on many alarm clocks and is MUCH less annoying in the morning. This isn't ENNNNHHH ENHHH ENHHHHH!; it's more of a beep beep. beep beep like clockwork. It doesn't knock me out of bed or stress me out in the morning like most other alarm clocks do. The time is automatically set for Daylight Saving Time and is powered by some type of rechargeable battery supplied (not a 9 volt). There are multiple brightness options. I would have liked a different brightness setting, a little darker as I'm very sensitive to light at times, but that's a delicate detail. Regardless, the lowest setting is lower than most other alarm clocks I've seen/used. The price was under twenty-five, which was a steal. The radio is clean and free of interference, tuning is done with a wheel (instead of buttons). Alarm programming can also be in both directions and fast forward in EACH direction (instead of fast forward and slow reverse). Programming.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Doubtful
