Setting the alarm and (initial) time is very straightforward. It would be a huge improvement to display the radio 'call number' vs. fumbling with the rotary tuner dial. Still, excellent value. One issue: the battery indicator has a diagonal line across the battery icon on the main screen. Hopefully it is simply charging for first time. Radio sound quality is not great, but average for a clock-radio.

I bought this model, ICF-CD815 about 30 years ago. This is the second identical model I own. Note that I could not find this model number in your drop down list. The first set gave out after 30 years. Yesterday the CD player finally stopped working, probably because the lid will not close properly. I have used the CD player on this set at least 1,000 times. I loved this model so much that I bought a "spare" 30 years ago in case the first one broke. Great set. I love it.

The sound system is flat. Cannot increase the bass level and high notes sound a bit hard. Clock cannot set to desired format hours. The indication prints is very faint. Tuning the radio is challenging as the angular turn for the various radio station is too cramp. A bit of shift will change to another station. Overall the clock display is good

This beautiful cube size Clock Radio decorates my bedroom. With its built-in auto shutdown timer, I can fall asleep easily and the dual alarm will ensure that I will never be late for work again. Well done SONY!

This clock GAINS about one minute a week ... I have read and re-read the instructions and still can't fig out their explanation for why this is happening. Every 4 to 6 weeks, I have to reset the time - it's a pain in the butt :( Wish I never bought it. No one answers the phone at Sony or returns emails.

My favorite feature is the mirrored front. The cube shape of the radio I like too.

No reception in most areas of the house. Maybe need an antenna extension?

Main Point: It wakes me up and has very good sound quality unlike any other budget alarm clock Full review: It's very nice and well made, works very well, and is really a good clock, I mean, automatic DST setting? How could you not want that? Now, it has an analog tuner so it is a pain in the (you know what), but when it's tuned to a station, it has amazing sound quality as well as amazing FM reception, AM reception, no. I had to put another AM antenna in the unit to receive AM radio.

I bought this a few months ago and I'm happy I did. It offers both simplicity and functionality, all in a small form. The sound quality on the radio is good for such a small device. I like the two feature alarm, allowing one set for my week and the other the weekend.

I love the clock. Is a replacement for a Sony Dream Machine which I never had a problem with. Arrived with dead battery.

I bought this Sony ICF-C1T clock radio few week ago at a very good price. It served as my dual alarm clock for daily use. The back up clock memory is a good feature in sometimes of power failure, I will still be able to get up of bed on time without power interruption. The radio reception is great and the sound quality is quite good. Over all, I am very satisfied with it.

Nice Packaging & Good Quality Product. The Radio Sound Clarity is Awesome & considered Loud for a small sized Speaker. The Clock with Glass Design look Premium. Overall Satisfied & Value for Money.

This clock is supposed to keep correct time just by entering the time zone. Mine is always about 7 minutes behind. Even if I manually set the time it drifts back to the wrong time. Useless!

It's got reliable features with the built-in radio and alarm clock. There's so many others that look really cheap and but this Sony clock has a sleek design that looks great in my bedroom.

This was my sister's 7 years ago and now it's been passed down to me. It works well after all this time! It's pretty easy to use, although it may take a while to get the hang of it. It does everything I hoped it would, and I'm satisfied with this product :)

I’m very happy with this so far! I like that it has two alarms and multiple settings for the brightness of the display. My difficulty is with the battery. My first radio came with a deactivated (dead) battery. The vendor (B&H Photo) replaced the unit for me, but the second one arrived also with a deactivated battery. This time I decided to just buy a new $5 battery myself - but it stills shows up as deactivated! I have read the instructions but I feel like I must be missing something. Maybe there was something I was supposed to do to activate the battery?

Nice clock but useless alarm. I set two alarms however the alarm sounds couldn't wake me up and even it is maximum volume, the sounds still minimize. apart from that, you can tune in radio and even set the alarm sounds with radio

I bought this and set it up the same day and it came with a dead battery. I tried for over two hours to get through to Best Buy to get a replacement battery and the closest I came was they are not a Sony dealer and they don’t have any responsibility.

I purchased this powerful little clock radio about a month ago and I really like it on my bathroom counter. The display is easy to read, day or night, and the AM/FM radio is clear. It's very useful to hear news or music as I'm getting ready for day or night.

I bought this radio a month ago. The alarms never got very loud and now they are both not working and we have to set it on radio to wake us up, not happy both alarms are broken.

Won't let me set it to daylight time. Was supposed to reset automatically at 2AM March 6 but did not reset.

Small, practical with a good sound.
By Murghy
This product was better than expected. I was able to pick up a local commercial radio station, which was not possible previously. The clock function is very practical.
I like the sleek look and it works really well for
By Dan32
I bought this to replace an old RCA clock I had for years. Changing from large blue numbers, I was hoping the amber light would reduce overall lighting of the room, and it definitely does. It has brightness settings that also helps this. The only problem I can think of are the small buttons. While that does help to keep my toddler from changing my settings, the alarm button is hard to find sometimes in the dark, but I am adjusting. I have had it for about 3 months now and it works great! I do...

Rise and shine with the Sony ICF-C1T Alarm Clock with FM/AM Radio (White). While a large, easy-to-read, backlit LCD display with jumbo LEDs make reading the time from across the room a snap, a battery back-up is also there to ensure that you never miss an important appointment or meeting again.
Large, easy to read LCD display
Clearly view the time on the large, easy-to-read, backlit LCD display. Bright orange jumbo LEDs mean no squinting to read the time, even without your glasses
Dual Alarms
Set two separate wake times with the dual alarm feature.
No Power, No Problem
In the event of a power failure, or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock, the No Power, No Problem backup battery system will maintain your clock and alarm settings, ensuring that the time is always accurate and the alarms will sound at the appointed time.
Gradual wake alarm
Normal alarm sounds with a preset volume are either too low to wake you up, or are so loud that you are awakened abruptly. The gradual wake alarm feature starts with a subtle, low volume that gradually increases to a reasonably high level in order to gently wake you from sleep.
Adjustable brightness control
With the adjustable brightness control you can ensure you are easily able to read the display during the day and not be distracted at night because the display is too bright when trying to sleep.
Programmable sleep timer
Fall asleep to the radio using the programmable sleep timer.
Enjoy FM/AM radio programming
A built-in analog FM/AM tuner lets you choose from a wide variety of radio, talk and music programming
Snooze button
For those mornings when you just can't seem to wake up there's a snooze button to let you catch a little extra shuteye. The sound turns off, but will automatically come on again after about 10 minutes.
Automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment
The built-in calendar even recognizes the date, automatically adjusting for Daylight Savings or Standard time.
Easy, Automatic Time Set
Setup is a snap! The C1T comes preset to Eastern Standard Time, (EST), so all you need to do is plug it in and set the correct time zone.
