Comments about Sony Sony Black Clock Radio:

Bought "his" and "hers". Okay if you don't mind tinny sound (as expected from small, cheap speakers) and controls that are very cramped. Station settings are hard to zero-in on. Miss digital display.

The automatic daylight savings feature on the clock radio is especially useful, along with the buttons to indicate the date and year.

I also like the compact size as it can set on a small table or in a small space.

Great little clock radio

Comments about Sony Sony Black Clock Radio:

I like this clock radio very much. Each radio has its own way of being programmed for date/time/alarm etc. The instructions are quite clear and it was easy to set up. Because I am surrounded by very tall buildings, there is interference with the AM, however, the FM is just fine. The fact that you can choose how long to snooze by tapping the snooze bar once for eveery 10 minutes of snooze time is awesome. For the price, I would recommend it to everyone. Worth double....but don't tell SONY!

Great inexpensive self setting alarm clock. For about [...] it can't be beat especially if you loose power a lot like we do. Wish it had multiple alarms with a M-F and separate S/S but it is great for the price. Reception is quite good also.

I have now bought two of these clock radios, as the integrated back up battery is a great feature and the main reason I bought this product. The AM and FM radio receives well and does the job of getting my high schoolers out of bed.
