Sony Dream Machine ICF-CD843V CD Clock Radio with Digital Tuner (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Wake up with a gentle nudge rather than a loud shout with the Sony CD Dream Machine Clock Radio. It's jam-packed with almost every imaginable feature you could want in a clock radio, yet the compact design takes up very little space on your nightstan...
Sony is a good quality brand - although I don't think this will last 18 years.
Quality sound and attractive design are the best, but this radio lacks of good design.
I purchase a emerson with smart set and it has improved my quality of life with better reception, better capablities, ease of use, I can see the face better and smart set is awesome.
, I feel safe saying it is durable and great Sony quality.
up).Other than that, it has good sound quality and a nice variety of features
I don't know what to say about it other than it works fine, has good sound, serves the purpose of waking me up to my favorite music, and it's easy to navigate as far as setting up the alarm.
The alarm still wakes me up in the morning when this sleep mode is used!It has more than one alarm setting, super useful

No more blah blah blah or crappy music sets
I prefer the set it and forget it perk of a 2-5-7 (Timex).
The placement of buttons seems fairly logical and different function buttons are grouped in different places on the face and come in different sizes, making it easier to remember which is which.
Beside that, it is a nice radio clock to have with great function and sound quality.
I love the Nap function, just push the button for the desired nap length and off you go!
Alarms -- you can set 1, 2, or all 3 alarm functions (CD, RADIO, BUZZER).
The radio and CD functions are great, as is the sound quality.
When I got it home the player worked well (maybe because it was repaired.)
Maybe it'll be in the next itineration of this product (hint...hint)Although this unit is inexpensive, has GREAT sound, is somewhat easy to use, There are certain things you come to expect in a product like this as well as from this company, They've been in the game too long to make the mis-steps like they did with this one
A portable Cd player with the convenience of a clock and AM/FM band, It is marvellous
I have owned the $99 model Dream Machine for several years and think it's pretty much the best alarm clock/night stand CD player available
Since I can't get radio reception where I live, I can't comment on that, but I love the CD player
Pros: Sleep and Nap functions are useful and easy to use, multiple alarm possibilities, lots of neat functionsCons: price, snooze button, volume control dial.
I've had my Sony Dreammachine for over a year now, got it at a really great price at Target, and it's the best alarm clock I've ever had
Amazon, as always, has a very competitive price (remember, this qualifies for FREE shipping).How pleased am I?

it's worth it just for the radio and easy alarm functions
However, it several button presses to turn the alarm on, or to disable it (so it doesn't sound the next day).
OK but really, at the end of the day, it's still a glorified alarm clock.
I like very much the individual alarms with every mode of the clock (one alarm for the CD, one for the radio and one for the buzzer).
I have been late more times than with my last cheap clock, whose snooze feature broke after a couple of years, and which this "Dream Machine" replaced
Somewhat deceptive feature being able to set 3 different wake up times.
This 2 alarm radio doesn't take up much space, has lots of good features and I use them all -- alarms for radio, buzzer, and CD, nap, sleep, TV audio, weather station, etc
Even the best were lacking very basic features like battery back up for power outages, head phone jack, etc.
There is nothing easy about this clock, and the features are lacking.
However, the radio doesn't support battery backup (an important omission), though its internal battery will keep the settings and set off the alarm if not too much time has transpired
it's worth it just for the radio and easy alarm functions
For me this item is a HUGE improvement over what I had -- a 20+ years old Windsor AM-FM- LED clock radio.
We had been having problems with our old reliable clock radio and its inexpensive replacements.
Alarms -- you can set 1, 2, or all 3 alarm functions (CD, RADIO, BUZZER).
The only problem is, one wakes to radio, one to cd, and the other to the buzzer alarm.
It's in a non-user friendly position located near the rear of the radio, It's easy to accidently turn your wake-up alarm all the way down and miss your wake-up (if using the CD function as a source)3.
