Sony ICF-C1 FM/AM Clock Radio - White

A very cute cube! A little fiddly regarding setup - use a magnifying glass and a strong light. Otherwise fine.

Used it to wake me up in the morning, clock time very clear and easy to see during the night.

I had my original one for forty years (that's right!) until it suddenly stopped working. I was excited at the prospect of getting this one to replace it, but unfortunately, it has turned into a disappointment due to a constant low hum that has given me a headache and made my ears ring a little. Unfortunately, I think this is the case with a lot of modern Sony devices because my newer boombox, again from Sony, does the same thing.In every other way, this is a great clock radio and I would have hoped to have it for another several decades, but I am returning it. It's not as easy to set as my previous one because the knobs are on different sides of the cube, but I definitely appreciated the large font at night because I was able to see it very clearly with my short-sightedness, unlike my previous one at which I had to squint and even then sometimes I didn't get the time right.

Great little clock, sadly the battery had expired so had to reset everything which at my old age I didn’t find easy to do. But very pleased overall.

Tiny, dreadful beyond belief.My first radio as a 10 year old at boarding school was similar but actually better in all respectsIt’s crude and antiquated.Tuning is done with a small knob. I couldn’t find my station and gave up after an hour.No searching, no indication which station you’re listening to. No ability to save a station.Quite possibly the worst buy on Amazon. Shame on you Sony - it’s binned.Shame on Amazon for supplying it and recommending it.I’m, quite honestly, staggered that anyone thinks this object was worth marketing and supplying.

I like it! I had the earlier version of this for about 25 years (which was a little bit bigger and heavier) until it finally bit the dust, so I was pleased to see Sony had produced a newer version and with extra functions.Open the box, plug it in and it finds the right time for you. Display is bright orange and easy to read. The instructions to set the alarm and radio are easy to follow and understand too. As I am now a pensioner and not working I haven't as yet had reason to use the alarm function but it appears to be working fine and true to sony standards the radio is remarkably clear for something so cheap. I have no need for the snooze timer or the variable brightness function but it has both if you need them. I will put it through its paces in the coming weeks but so far I've only had it 3 days before being asked to review it but so far I am more than happy with it.I have no hesitation in recommending this as it has everything you could possibly want from an alarm clock and more!!!!

Nice looking clock, brightness and display and sound are all good. BUT and it's a big but, it runs several minutes too fast and you cannot change this as it's sets itself to GMT or BST etc etc. Also this has to be reset each time the time changes - throwing it out to look for a better one

I was so sad to part with my 40 year old Sony digicube and was pleasantly surprised that it was still being made. The new model is very neat, double brightness and seems to get good reception. Only criticism is that the volume control is not particularly easy to use and the buttons are in slightly strange places. You have to press the alarm reset to turn the radio off rather than depressing the radio button again. But its a great replacement.
