ICF-C1 FM/AM Clock Radio - White

Good.

Very happy with this radio alarm clock. It's small and compact and (in my opinion) looks very nice. There are 3 different dimness settings for the screen. The alarm slowly works up to the volume that you've chosen, so you aren't awoken too suddenly. It is a simple radio alarm - so if you are looking for a speaker or charger for your phone this is not for you. People have spoken about problems with 'static' from the radio if it's too close to your phone. This will be a problem if you keep your phone on the same bedside table as the radio, but I keep my phone on the other side of the bed and this hasn't been an issue at all.

This is absolutely fine. It is easy to use and is small enough not to dominate a bedside table. The clock face is unfussy and has 3 light settings so you can have it on lowest, still see clock in the dark without it illuminating the whole room. The only potential draw backs are (I) it has slider button mechanism to turn off /on the alarm which doesn't seem very substantial so only time will tell if it lasts and (ii) the radio tuner bit of it although easy to use is equally easy to knock off choosen station accidently but this is a small quibble. I wasn't sure about the odd looking 'tail' antennae for the radio but actually I don't notice this now the clock is in situe and it works really well and I always have good reception. Overall a good buy I think.

clock radio , it does what it says on the tin

Variable quality. Second unit makes a continuous buzzing sound. Not suitable for quiet bedroom where you need peace and quiet! Had to return it and order different brand.

Let's be honest, if you're using your mobile phone as an alarm clock, you're going to bed reading stuff on it and waking up to a head full of overnight notifications. What's the solution? Leave the phone downstairs charging and get this bad boy into your life. It's cool looking, excellent clear display (with 3 brightness settings) and has both a beepy alarm and also a FM radio. It's fantastic value for money, built to last and sporting a timelessly classic design. Also, you can plug it into the mains or use battery. Super handy. Recommended.

It has a constant buzzing noise which is distracting especially when trying to sleep. This is a real shame given that it works perfectly and I would happily use it for years and years otherwise. It has lovely sound quality, is easy to use (although the buttons are strangely laid out), you can change the brightness on the display, does AM/FM (but not DAB), can easily set the date, time and alarm time, and having a volume wheel give you precise volume control. The display is easy to read, is attractive and is much smaller than previous Sony cubes of old at only 10cms. So It's perfect apart from the buzzing.

A very cute cube! A little fiddly regarding setup - use a magnifying glass and a strong light. Otherwise fine.
