Almost perfect for compact radios and stereo systems

I had problems with this at first because I couldn't figure out how to set the time. (Yes, yes, I know, I know — who doesn't know how to set the time on an electric clock, you ask.) It took me a while, but I finally realized that when setting the date and time, the current Time is actually the third "menu" for the setting, not the second (which came right after setting the date, so I was confused). Of course it shows the exact time. Last week I was amazed when the clock showed the correct time…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Minor problems

Most importantly, it's a great deal at $14 including shipping. This is the real result. But there are some minor annoyances, so read on if you're picky about your clock radio. I've been living with this item for a few days now and the experience of the finished use has been amazing: the ease of setup and intuitive use is near perfect and is amazing when you are well thought out. Draft. And there are plenty of user-friendly features, as others have pointed out - lithium(!) battery backup already

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Protection

Bad excuse for an "alarm clock "

Bought to replace a Sony Dream Machine clock radio, model ICF-C112, which was 10 years old. old because the buttons to set the time didn't always work. a certain disadvantage. But I liked the clock because it could wake the dead if you used the alarm mode buzzer and it would ring forever. So I bought a new clock radio and stuck with Sony because I've always had good luck with that brand and didn't want Bluetooth, USB, iPod dock or anything like that. Just wanted an alarm clock, didn't have to…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Weight

very good replacement for 15 year old alarm clock

I won't get into the obvious, we all know this clock has dual alarms, a 1" green LED display, automatic time setting and the like. Like: 3 brightness levels of the LED display (I like the lowest, but on the lowest setting you may have a hard time seeing the time across the room during normal daylight hours). doesn't shine in my eyes or light up the room while I'm sleeping. When you set an alarm, you can advance or advance the time (if you miss the desired time by 10 minutes, you can go back 10…

Pros
  • several competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Two Sony Clock Radios

Pros: We love this little clock radio we got from Revain.com! 1. He sets the time himself. You need to set your time zone. How difficult is it? Not hard. 2. Two alarms. (Handles on both sides) 3. It has a backup battery. 4. It fits on our bedside table, leaving room for our phone, lamp, key box and notepad. 5. It can pull MANY radio stations very clearly. We hear it from one end of the house to the other. (Ranchhaus) Below is a ruler and marker that will show you which station is closest. 6. It

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly Torn

Closest thing to a perfect alarm clock

Advantages: - Reliable alarm setting (the most important thing in an alarm clock) - Remembers the time AND sounds the alarm at the correct time, even without power - Adjustable brightness - Adjustable snooze duration - Automatic DST adjustment - Semi-gradual alarm (soft beeps that get faster and more insistent the longer you ignore the alarm) Cons: - so-so radio quality (fair for the price though) - no gradual wake-up to music - somewhat tricky initial setup, if You need to adjust the time…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
