Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black) Reviews
| 184 of 188 people found the following review helpful  Great Buy!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black) (Electronics) Not the niftiest, nor the most elegant clock radio available but the price and features make it about as good a buy as you'll find.All the important features - battery backup, automatic time synch, intuitive alarm setting, good (but gentle on the eyes) time visibility. There's a dual alarm version available for a few bucks more too. We liked this one enough to buy another for our guest bedroom - guests won't be befuddled by this model... BTW, radio isn't high fidelity but its not bad, a good Sony quality product. UPDATE 10/28/09: Two years down the road and the two of these radios we bought are still going strong. One of the things I failed to mention in the original review was that this unit does NOT, repeat, does NOT have a power brick - just a nice old fashioned wall plug on a wire - sweet. I take note of the comment by others about the intensity (or lack thereof) of the clock LED. Myself, and upon further inquiry, my wife find the...

(New York) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black) (Electronics) I've had this for 3 days now, and i'm very happy with it...and i put alot of research in everything i buy. The Radio works perfectly, picks up all the stations clearly, the alarms sound starts out soft and gets progressively louder..so you will get up. The Built in battery is also a plus, that way i'll never lose track of time.for this price this is a great product..and oh yes huge green lights for the display and many more features...wake up to the radio or the buzzer... enjoy.... 161 of 188 people found the following review helpful  Decent unit for price, but has deal breaking flaw, By This review is from: Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black) (Electronics) Unfortunately, I am not able to rate the Sony ICF-C218 as highly as my colleagues. Not that this clock radio doesn't have numerous good features. The radio got good reception and the sound was of better than average quality. The controls, as others have pointed out, are intuitive and easy to use even without ever resorting to the instructions. The alarm, as is common, can wake you up either with the radio or with a buzzer. The only missing feature that would have been nice would be a dual alarm, though for the price this lack cannot be complained of.The problem with the unit, and it is a serious one, is the brightness of the display. Of the other two reviewers who've rated the ICF-C218 at three stars, curiously one complains that the display is too dim and the other that it is too bright. My experience agrees with the later. I didn't notice until I tried sleeping beside this unit, but once your eyes are accustomed to the darkness the nicely-sized display is simply... Read more |
