Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the nature sounds to be a great feature that helps them get to sleep. The compact size of the clock radio is also well-received, with customers appreciating its space-saving design. However, there are some concerns about the display being hard to read at night and the brightness level even at the medium setting. Some customers also find the instructions to be more complicated than expected.

    I'm happy to have all the options. It was fairly easy to set up too. I just wish the time display was easier to read.

    I returned the clock for two reasons ... The sound was not great but was clear. When lit-up was a bit bright for sleeping! I did like the compact size ...

    This clock does exactly what I need, when I need it to. The option for nature sounds, my mp3 player, or radio station and dual alarms was awesome. Once you figure out the directions, its easy to set or change the options on the alarms.

    Small clock radio with dim light so does not affect sleep. Easy to use and has a battery back up for when power goes off.

    I purchased and have kept 3 of these alarm clocks for my family. Aspects I love about this alarm clock: - I can choose to awake to music or 5 different nature sounds - has alarm A and alarm B option - each alarm can be set for weekday OR weekend OR both - once you "set up" the clock initially, the clock automatically resets when unplugged or power goes out (this is my primary reason for purchasing this item) Aspects I least like: - brightness of display (the display is a rectangular blue display) The entire "rectangle" lights up verses just the numbers, which is why it is SO BRIGHT. You have 3 choices here: 1) Street light bright 2) night light bright or 3) display off, but clock and alarm still function - snooze bar: if you accidentally press the snooze bar twice, the alarm will "snooze" for 20 minutes - set up is a little challenging I would recommend this product, but if you like a dark room to sleep in, this NOT the clock for you :-o

    I've had the radio for about 3 months now and it has been working great. The compact size is great for the space it is used. The display is very bright. Good reception for the audio.

    I love this alarm clock. I love the nature sounds and that's what led me to purchase this product. My old alarm clock had nature sounds and I can't do without them, they are addicting :) It has great sound and very easy to set up.

    Very good product, it has all the desirable options, two alarms, ability to play music from an MP3 or iPhone, even room temperature! The only reason I don't rate it as excellent is that the controls are not intuitive. I have to get the manual out to change anything.

    Digital tuning is convenient but the tuner itself is only fair. Has wire for iPod included. Display is bright and easy to read. I wouldn't use it as my main radio but is perfect in the bathroom for when I am getting ready in the morning.

    very complicated gadget for an alarm clock

    I went to the store for a new alarm clock, since my old one seemed to be losing its touch control sensitivity. My wife liked the idea of nature sounds and AM/FM radio, so we chose this Sony. We brought it home and I read the instructions, taking about 3/4 hour to do so. It is a rather sophisticated device, having several functions which I can do without. We don't use the nature sounds function or the sleep timer. The alarm without the radio function is a grating fuzz of white noise - actually annoying. So if I were to choose again, I would not buy this model, but we'll make do. I won't return it, because I threw away the box and receipt, but I wish I hadn't.

    Love this item. This is second one I have bought. Easy to use and the fact you can have a dark mode for the clock is great. No glow in the room you are using it in.

    This is a great alarm clock! With so much tech being crammed into devices it's hard to find a simple to use and understand device. This dream machine delivers. It's loud the fm tuner works great the buttons are large and my 7 year old only needed 5 minutes to figure it out. If you still need to connect to a smart device it had the AUX jack to prevent this unit from being obsolete the next time connections change. I always love upgrades but this device stays true to it's original purpose.

    Good radio and small enough to fit on a nightstand or desk. Speaker could be better, though, more stereo/surround sound needed. Good that you can play the nature sounds anytime, not only for sleeping/waking up.

    Very good clock and radio but the alarm is ineffectual (at least for me). The 'beeping' is way too low. I would like to have the option of a loud alarm. The overall size is great- compact but looks good.

    It's compact. Nature sounds is a nice feature. The quality of the sound is just average. Reading the clock is a problem. I almost have to look straight at it. On an angle it is very difficult to read. At night the numbers don't stand out clearly and is very difficult to read.
