• Reviews around power failure (1.54 of 5)

    Sony ICFC218 Dream Machine Clock Radio (Black)

    • If the battery fails during a power failure or its clock drifts then you will have to adjust the clock.
    • ... which shouldnt matter anyway since the batteries are supposed to keep the clock on in case of a power failure, which by the way recently happened to me which is why i purchased the clocks in the first place.
    • Keeps time during a power failure
    • Power failures don't bother the clocks, they start back as soon as the power returns
    • It sets time automatically, so you do not have to worry about DST changeovers, resetting after power failures or making sure it's accurate
    • Buy this for the auto time set feature after a power failure, not for the radio.
    • great to have a clock that after a power failure the time
    • I had a power failure lasting 4 hours
    • You don't have to reset it after a power failure.
    • Also, forgot to add, there is no need to set the time after a power failure
    • It comes with the battery to reset itself if you have a power failure
    • Additionally, there is a "button" battery to hold the time in power failures
    • The limitation that it won't ring when the power is off is notable but the likelihood of such a failure is small - power failures are infrequent to begin with and power failures coinciding with alarm time would be even less frequent.
    • The wafer battery that maintains time during power failure is very low, and the clock did not have any factory set time when it arrived.
    • 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
    • Not too bright where its annoying (I like the room dark when I'm sleeping).
    • I,am glad l bought this radio, For the you can't beat it l keep it the spare bedroom
