Sony FM/AM Clock Radio - White

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!!!!

Having been very disappointed with my last clock radio purchase, this one is brilliant. It was extremely easy to set up, and the time is pre-set. Sound quality is excellent for such a small unit as is reception on BBC 3. Some small negatives. The lettering on the buttons is small and hard to read, and there are separate ones for turning the radio on and off. It would be better to have a single on/off switch, in a contrasting colour and larger than the others. The ariel wire is very short, though as it happens, it doesn’t need it. However, I am giving it 5 stars as I think it represents excellent value for what it cost.

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.

This was a fabulous Market Place buy at less than half the price brand new which it could well have been. Labelling of the buttons and switches on the device could not be easily read but once the instructions had been consulted all became clear. It is a classy neat little clock radio with good enough clear sound and does not take up too much room. The radio tunes to am/fm stations with no problem and three levels of display brightness are available with successive touches of the snooze button. Delighted all round and highly recommend even at the higher price new.

Same as other reviews, makes a buzzing noise, shame as otherwise it’s really good / hard to find a nice clock radio with orange light.

It has a constant buzzing noise which is distracting especially when trying to sleep. This is a real shame given that it works perfectly and I would happily use it for years and years otherwise. It has lovely sound quality, is easy to use (although the buttons are strangely laid out), you can change the brightness on the display, does AM/FM (but not DAB), can easily set the date, time and alarm time, and having a volume wheel give you precise volume control. The display is easy to read, is attractive and is much smaller than previous Sony cubes of old at only 10cms. So It's perfect apart from the buzzing.

Husband very pleased with his new Birthday present easy to set up

I bought this clock without reading the reviews properly so was slightly worried after reading them. However I have to say I have had none of the problems described by the other reviewers and I am very happy with my clock radio (which sits next to my mobile on bedside table with no noise problems). Yes the buttons are small but I have had no problem using them as they are well spaced apart and easy to find even in the dark! In short it does what it says and works fine, I would buy it again if I needed to :) Oh and Co-op Electrical were great.They delivered it 2 days after I ordered by dpd couriers who emailed me with a 1hr trackable timeslot on the morning delivery was due (with the option to change or have delivered to neighbour if your not in).

ممتاز

Good quality alarm clock. Purchased for the second time. Display is excellent. Sound is very good. Only price is high. First purchased at 2199 now for second purchase paid 3199. If calculate at current dollar rate then price should not be more than 2599.

Mine is faulty.. Buzz's all the time.. loses the radio station all the time.. very annoying

El reloj funciona de maravilla, facil de programar. La unica pega que podria ponerle es que el boton de cortar la alarma es muy pequeño y algo dificil de encontrar cuando estas medio dormido, por otra parte asi te obliga despertar si o si para poder buscarlo y parar la alarma.
