    Wow one of my best purchases. I love that it keeps time even when I lose power. Its alarm starts out quiet and gets louder over 30 seconds so you don’t have to worry about waking other people up. I love that it is dimmable and that the clock is elevated so I can see the time from my bed when it’s on top of the dresser.

    I really like the orange light, not too bright. Occasionally the switch is not fluid and gets stuck between buzz and radio and the alarm does not sound. Nice progressive buzzer to wake up to.

    Few Radio Stations Pick Up A Signal, But The Time Zones Are Easy With # 4 Being Mine. Sometimes The Radio Stays On So You Have To Un plug It Each Time You Use It.

    I purchased this to replace a Sony Dream Machine clock radio as I like waking up to the radio. The sound and reception of the ICF-C1 was better than expected. However, the clock gains time and adds 3+ minutes a week so it had to be reset often. I ended up no longer using it.

    I really liked the design and feel of it, and for the price it's definitely worth it, but the main issue for me was not having a particularly high volume setting for the alarm. Tried everything to get it louder, but wouldn't go any higher. It's not too hard to setup either, but it definitely feels more complicated than it needs to be with the button placements. Otherwise, if you don't need anything particularly loud and just want a simple but not-cheap-feeling radio, it's actually really nifty and nice to listen to the radio on in the morning.

    It’s surprising that such a no frills small machine sounds so nice and clear. This was the only product at Best Buy that was just a basic radio, It’s sized just right and priced accordingly .

    Frustrating Set-up But Once There, It's Great!

    Once clock up and running it's great! Direction for start-up, not so much. Confusing, details not very good. After several frustrating start-up attempts per instruction, "bingo" it worked. Very accurate, and no distortion of letters and numbers. Get the directions for set-up rewritten and you've got a real 5 star winner.

    Needed a small AM/FM clock radio with battery backup and without any fancy accessories. This one was perfect. Very easy to set up and has good sound for such a small device.

    Very happy with this purchase. A little different than the one I had before as far as setting up the time and alarm times; but now it is a breeze to use. Replaced an RCA unit that was probably 25 years old.
