Disappointed

 

This product is bad for Sony's image. The sound quality is poor; you would not want to use it for anything else but waking you up in the morning. The buttons are hard to locate - turning the alarm off (as opposed to using the slumber bar) is almost...

Sony ICFC273L

 

Reserve & Collect is very useful - saves delivery hassles. The radio is good for use in more isolated spots (with no DAB) FM/AM?LW is useful and I like the separate alarm indicators so you usually don't need to bother checking/resetting. A good little...

dumb design

 

do people who design clock radios actually use them? I honestly wonder. this radio has a DST change button right on the TOP where you can -- and will -- casually press it as you are fumbling around with it in the dark. Have an alarm set for a certain...
