I literally had this same model given to me as a gift 30 years ago. Glad I was able to find this style. The alarm buzz is a little quieter than my old unit. It still gets the job done though and wakes me up.

Very basic clock radio

All the buttons & switches are black, like the radio. You have to memorize where they are.
I should have read the description closely. The numbers are smaller than I'd like. It's hard to see the time across the room. It has one alarm; radio or alarm. Like I said, very basic.

Purchased this radio for a bathroom. I like to have music around me all the time. This little piece fit well. Sound is about what I would expect from the size.

I purchased this Clock radio because it is a Sony and I was tired of cheap poor-quality clocks. after 5 weeks or so I noticed it was not keeping time and would run fast. I inquired about a replacement but was beyond the BB return policy date (30 days). Sony started a warranty repair and determined it was not repairable so a replacement is authorized. I received an email and shipping label for the return. Sony will not ship the replacement until to old one is returned. When I called customer service to address this issue of not having any clock while my old one was returned and a replacement issued I spoke with a very angry, unhelpful, service rep who refused to let me speak to a supervisor or anyone else at the customer service department. I am Very unhappy I spent $70 on a "premium" clock radio for this. On top of it, I got to argue about the email that was sent to me and what is and is not in the email. If you are looking for a "good" clock radio, keep looking, this one is not worth the extra money, and if you have an issue, good luck with customer service. AVOID!

I liked this boxy style and settings seemed easy. BUT i got very little reception. The two stations I always listen to (NPR) were impossible. I tried every "fix" recommended but nothing worked. Im probably tossing it rather than go through the annoyance of returning.

You would think that an alarm clock would be able to keep the time. The sony I had ran about 3-4 fast per month. I rate this clock radio the worst I have ever had. I got so fed up with it, I tossed it into the trash.

I like the clock in every way, except that it runs too fast, which is a significant negative.

Runs way too fast. I have 2 and they both cannot keep correct time. In a week it'll be 5 minutes off.

Microscopic Radio Channel Selector

Good looking cube radio BUT finding the radio channel you are looking for is near impossible as it is microscopic. Set for a channel you like and when you finally find it, never change it.

Disappointing
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The build quality isn't very good. The buttons feel really cheap, and the tuners are tight and tiny. I used to buy Sony products all the time, but this was really disappointing.
Also, this might be just the model I bought, but there was a constant humming sound that came from the speakers, even when the radio was off.

There doesn’t seem to be an off button. Hard to understand how it works.
