    Sony ICFC218 Dream Machine Clock Radio (Black)

    • Just the right features without being too complicated.
    • The size is another great feature of this little gem
    • The automatic time set feature is quite amazing and convenient when having to unplug the unit to move it from place to place.
    • I love its large display and features, but the clock always ends up gradually getting faster
    • I really love the feature that with a button the alarm can be set backward (without having to do the 24 hours).
    • One of the best features is the automatic time-setting- when you take it out of the box it has the right time
    • This is an awesome feature when it's pitch
    • The clock features a large green display that is just right (not too bright but very visible), a good radio with a pretty good speaker, a sleep feature for the radio and customized snooze times (every click = 10min, up to 60min), and many more features
    • My favorite feature, though, is the "controllable snooze"
    • The clock and alarm features are pretty good
    • The 10 minutes snooze is the best feature, press once for 10, twice for 20 minutes, etc.
    • It has a variety of nice features
    • Not sure how useful that is in most situations, but it's a decent feature
    • The built-in lithium backup battery is a really nice feature
    • if you google you can see many people have the same issue outside the US.And since they dont tout the oscillator as a feature any more its hard to know before buying
    • After looking at many different models this one has several nice features that aren't obvious from the text or picture
    • I didn't give it five stars because I haven't used the alarm feature as of
    • Love the features of auto time set for Daylight savings and easy(very) time and alarm set The alarm starts out low and increases in volume
    • It's as easy as pie to set up, and the features are terrific
    • Pros:- Great features for the price- Loud Speakers for radio- back up battery in case of power
    • This is a neat feature.
    • Very nice feature!
    • The Automatic Time Set feature is a marketing joke!
    • The battery backup is a wonderful feature and the battery comes built in
    • The only missing feature that would have been nice would be a dual alarm, though for the price this lack cannot be complained of
    • I took the clock back though as it was off by a minute, but otherwise what a handy feature
    • Good price and features but died too soon.
    • The clock has many cool features: Auto time/date set; then you set your time zone and it will change automatically for daylight savings time; it also automatically knows to add a day for leap year.
    • I don'the know why Sony discontinued this model - it is the right size, has the right features, and the alarm time can be set forward or backward!
    • The only negative thing is that the "Automatic Time Set" feature is misleading
    • I haven't tested the lithium battery yet, but I can say that it's a good feature
    • It keeps perfect time, is small and my favorite feature is it does not scare me out of bed.
    • The basic features of the clock are fine, but the Daylight Saving Time feature makes the clock a loser.
    • Great product and has great features
    • Not that this clock radio doesn't have numerous good features.
    • Granted, any clock will perform well on month into use, but it has great features.
    • There are a few cool features, including a battery back up and auto daylight savings time adjustments.
    • You have to reset the time twice a year the second most important feature in a clockTo reset this one you have to spend 1/2 day and be a computer nerd
    • Good price and features but died too soon.
    • This radio provides excellent reception, is petite and the time setting automatically when plugged in is quite a handy feature.
    • The only missing feature that would have been nice would be a dual alarm, though for the price this lack cannot be complained of
    • Easy to use, inexpensive, and has some nice features (i.e. it automatically adjusts for daylight savings)
    • Can one of you engineers out there please explain the logic to me?Anyway...none of the clock's features are particularly earth-shattering.
    • The best feature is the automatic time setting.
    • Never a need to set the time or adjust for DST - which is a pretty good feature at this price point.
    • if you google you can see many people have the same issue outside the US.And since they dont tout the oscillator as a feature any more its hard to know before buying
    • I like it's features and would definitely recommend it as a gift
    • Another nice feature is the ability to adjust the brightness of the time display- which is nice for those who have a sensitivity to light when trying to sleep.
    • Has some extra features ,like daylight savings etc
    • I give 4 stars because it is a great clock for the price, but you can spend more for better features.
    • Ridiculous feature!
    • so maybe all these impressive features are pretty standard in other clocks.
    • The snooze function is also a nice feature.
    • Going to buy another one without that worthless feature.
    • It has a lot of nice features that are easy to access.
    • and I miss the dual feature.
    • The alarm has some nice features - easy to set alarm time, adjustable snooze duration, etc., but it is missing one key feature - a dimmable display
    • , I could do it in my sleep - it probably doesn't have fancy features like this alarm clock, but what's the use if you have to take out the instructions every time?
    • Great features
    • This year we thought we had disabled the feature and handled DST the old-fashioned way, fine.
    • The features are fine and it still works for time, but the alarm buzzes even if it's turned off.
    • Nonetheless, this radio has many other good features to recommend it
    • The best feature is the extendable snooze.
    • And the daylight savings time featured worked last Saturday.
    • The LED display indicates a "snooze" condition with a blinking dot in the display which is a nice feature for me
    • I like the alarm feature that if you don't hit the snooze button within a short time the alarm beeps increase in frequency for those heavy sleepers
    • For the price point they have some great features and decent AM/FM reception.
    • Perhaps for those people who can't figure out how to program the time, that is a nice feature, as long as they live in the Eastern Time Zone
    • It has good features.
    • The best features on this clock for me
    • One feature I do like is the automatic setting after a power outage
    • This year we thought we had disabled the feature and handled DST the old-fashioned way, fine.
    • Sure there are clock radios out there with more bells and whistles like dual alarm and such and if those features are important to you then you should look at more expensive clock radios that will be more to your liking
    • The pre-set time zone is a great feature
    • The radio worked pretty well for me, and had some nice features for the money
    • Bought this for my boyfriend, he loves it, best feature is the snooze...actually get to "snooze"
    • The alarm has some nice features - easy to set alarm time, adjustable snooze duration, etc., but it is missing one key feature - a dimmable display
    • The front face is clean and spiffy looking, the shape elegant but simple -- it fit the décor of the crappy motel off the interstate you stopped at, desperate with exhaustion, as well as it did the five-star room you treated yourself to for a weekend getaway
    • Works as it is advertised.
    • Very confusing as to how to set everything on this clock from the clock itself to the alarm.
    • Everything worked as it should, although some of the FM stations with weaker signals don't come as clean and strong as I'd like
    • the DST light won`t stay on" (written in December), "No way to change from FM to AM" (switch right on the side), "runs 17 min fast since I`ve owned
