I love the dependable (and good) radio tuning, the just-right audible alarm volume (the last alarm I had was ridiculously loud and annoying), and being able to set two alarm times and modes.

But if you choose other alarm sound like wave sound or birds or rain the volume is

And this is the best alarm clock I could find!I made a cover for the clock that has a cutout where the alarm stop button is, easy to find in the dark and half asleep now.

Love the two alarms - they are easy to set and easy to tell if you have them properly turned on

I found that the bird sounds were quite pleasant to wake up to, though I still prefer the radio- you can not set the alarm to play from the audio-in jackSo, overall it is a great alarm

It does a good job as an alarm clock as it wakes you up gently instead of a loud, startling alarm

I use both alarms so if I fall back to sleep, the second alarm wakes me up too, 15 min later, guess I could use the snooze button but don't.

Love the dual alarms.

Adjustable dimness, 2 alarms, works well and nice to be able to choose he nature sounds vs. buzzer or radio.

The alarm is quiet, and it totally is NOT 24 hours.

The two alarms are handy

Sound quality is very poor and alarms is not very loud

I like the alarm sounds too.

This alarm allows you the ability to set weekend alarm times as well as weekday alarm times.

I'm finding that I keep a travel alarm on my nightstand so that I can check the time when my fancy new alarm clock goes off.2)

Also, the button for turning the alarm off when you are drowsy is too hard to find

alarm works as stated.

The alarm is quieter than my old clock, but I haven't slept through it yet, and some of the nature sounds (which can also be set as alarms) are louder if you want to use them instead.

The one, tiny speaker in this radio has poor radio quality and the alarm doesn't get very loud

The reason for this purchase was due to the peculiarity that my beloved frog alarm has begun to show

Plus, the alarm is hard if not impossible to turn off in low light settings.

You can set it to play a radio station or plug in an Ipod, but the internal alarm isn't even as loud as a microwave

The alarm is difficult to set and even more difficult to turn off when awakened.

just love it, favorite alarm clock, totally non-jarring alarms to wake up to.

2 alarms are nice

The alarm on/off button is prominent and too easy to turn on by mistake.

A gentle sounding alarm (vs. a harsh buzzer sound) or an alternative alarm... check (I think

Now I have an expensive alarm clock (I don't care about the sound quality because I only use it as an alarm) and I have to find my wife something better.

This would be a great alarm clock if it weren't for one fatal flaw

This is a great little alarm clock.

love the 2 alarm with different times option.

Basically, I don't us it and still need to buy a good alarm clock.

It sounded like the perfect alarm clock for my needs

It has dual alarms and battery back-up -- no worry if the power goes out (at least for a few hours).

This alarm is basically so great that I may even become a morning person

I was searching a long time for a good minimal alarm clock.

But one very important operation for me is that I need a LOUD alarm.

But as far as everything else is concerned, It's the best alarm clock I have ever owned

Save your money s good quality, user-friendly alarm clock.my advice to Sony (what were you thinking!?

A gentle sounding alarm (vs. a harsh buzzer sound) or an alternative alarm... check (I think

Excellent radio, great sound, thermometer, dual alarms, nature sounds, aux in, and a great price

The alarm is not very loud.

I recently had my power cut off for 6 days due to an electrical fire, on day 3 the back-up alarm was still working and after 6 days I didn't have to reset the time

I appreciate how this alarm is also capable of telling me the temp in my bedroom

I bought this clock specifically because it had the 7-5-2 alarm settings, but the alarms are so difficult to set, I just have one set for the week days and I use my ipad for a weekend alarm

It keeps accurate time and dual alarms are easy to set up

Dual alarms are nice too

This alarm looked promising.

I like the dual alarm

My alarm makes a static noise

Pros:- Dual alarms with weekday and weekend settings.- Decent sound but with barely adequate max volume.- Temperature display.- LCD display adjustable brightness high/low/off

My Pros and Cons:Pros:-Digital Tuner-Compact design-Dual alarm profiles-Audio in from iPod, Phone, or anything that has a headphone

Great feature-rich alarm clock

, first the alarm seems good.

Once I finally figured out how to set the time, this clock is the best alarm clock i have ever owned.

Sent it back, and replaced it with a Sony ICF-C414 Clock Radio with Large 1.4 LED Display, which has a large LED (not LCD) display and a louder alarm

Dual alarm is great.

So if you don't mind a somewhat tinny sound, but do want a flexible alarm schedule and a couple of extra bells and whistles, you might want to consider this Sony.

No, the Alarm off button is not hard to find, nor are there too many buttons to fuss with

While I like the dual alarms with options for which days they go off, the buttons are too small for finding in a sleep haze or in the

I travel a fair amount for work and am always looking for a compact alarm clock

Radio works well, alarm is reliable

Radio works well, alarm is reliable

So hard to find a good alarm clock these days

If you enjoy puzzles and want to waste 30 minutes everyday setting the alarm then this is the alarm clock for you.

Two alarms are convenient

Unless you need a super loud alarm, I would high recommend this one.

Otherwise, great alarm clock!

I love having two alarms to preset for the weekdays/weekends/everyday

Great alarm clock

I had so much trouble setting the alarm (and waking up late because I thought it was set correctly) that it is simply used as a clock now.

I love the different "alarms" and the fact that I do not have to remember to turn the alarm on weekdays and off on weekends.

Overall a good alarm clock

Otherwise, this is a nice compromise between a full-featured high-end iPod-compatible radio and a cheap alarm clock.

Now that I have a variable work schedule, I find the two alarms (A and B) even more helpful as I can leave each one set for my different starting times, and just activate the one I need.

but now it is a very good alarm

This is a sweet radio/alarm... love the sound effects and other features!

I am not sure what I did, but I kept plugging away for a few minutes and it was fully set up with correct time, date and year and the right alarm time too as well as the correct timezone.

THE ALARM IS NOT VERY LOUD

Best alarm clock i have ever had !!!

Here are a few notes on the functionality that folks could find useful:- if you have the nature noises playing when an alarm goes off (either different nature noises, radio, or buzzer

In summary, for the price this is a great little alarm clock

It has a gentle alarm that gets louder the longer it has to, until you hit the snooze (10 mins/1 click

very hard to program, sounds like a tin can.no volume, the worst selection of nature sounds unreliable alarm, shame on you sony

so I've winged it, but I don't trust the alarm as much as I wish I did.

The alarm is BARELY audible

so I didn't hate the alarm in the morning so much.

I like having the temperature available, like having dual alarms with weekday and weekend options, and above all like the fact that it allows me to sleep without a blue shadow overcasting my bed.

If you miss hitting the alarm off button and hit one of the other buttons, it can change the alarm setting from radio to one of the 'eco' sounds and result in it not waking you up next time the alarm goes off.- Not enough contrast to the screen to tell the time from more than a few feet away.- Overly complicated interface to set alarms and radio.

I love that it has 2 alarms (A and B) and you can set them for weekday or weekend using any of the sound options and even pick the volume (levels 1-30) for the alarm level to sound off

Nice L I T T L E
