 Another great Sony clock. Mar 07, 2010
Purchased an older model 15 years ago. Just needed a new clock for another room. Easy to use, great for a college room. Large numbers, just wish you could dim the amount of light. Radio is okay, no Bose but will do.

best alarm clock Mar 01, 2010
This is a great alarm clock. Purchased it after being later due to a daylight savings mixup. That doesn't happen anymore. Always know what time it is. Always wake up thanks to a loud alarm. Not the most pleasant way to wake up, I'll admit, but it does the job.
These things last forever. My last one, which didn't set itself, was still going strong after 15-20 years. A good buy.

 Mostly love but a bit of hate relationship Feb 28, 2010
For a start, I love practically everything about this alarm clock/radio. Practically!
I can't say enough about all the aspects of this alarm clock ...but this one...
The two alarm switches on the top of the clock each have Off / Radio / Buzzer selections and are so easy to switch from one to the other that I can change accidentally and inadvertently these settings in my sleep if I bump them so I can't trust this product to make sure I get up in time. If i try to hit the snooze elongated button and in any way "brush" either of the alarm settings to the right and left sides, they will change or turn off.
Further, my cat climbed onto my night table and brushed both buttons and caused me a lot of panic when I finally got up almost too late for a meeting.
When you miss anything scheduled there is cost. Sometimes the cost can be huge and sometimes it can be unrecoverable.
Think about it. This is a serious flaw with a near perfect, in all other ways, alarm clock.
Stay tuned for a review of some other alarm clock I will obviously purchase.
BTW - I have one of these for sale.
 not loud enough Feb 28, 2010
it's not loud enough.
radio is not that good, because it doesnt have any kind of an antana. but for a radio w/o an antana its pretty good
you can see the #s in the dark, but its pale yellow, it would be so much better if the #s were red and much thicker.
2 alarms, and easy to set alarm
sets the time automatically so that takes care of the hassle of setting the time. its a bit odd shaped, and balky.
the snooze button could be bigger.
 Nice, but small Feb 26, 2010
This was one of only two clock radios that met our simple requirements:
-Dual alarm
-Large face that could be read facing it
-Battery backup
-Easy to change times
The radio reception is okay, not excellent. My only complaint is that it's a little small and light. The buttons are close together, but not so much that they can't be used, and the clock slides on our metal cabinet when adjusting it. I'd have gladly paid more for a version that was double the size and weight.
