5.0 out of 5 stars Great Simple Alarm Clock, May 17, 2009

By B. Jackson -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Sony ICFC414 Sony Clock Radio (Electronics)

I bought this to replace my old alarm clock. It has a sleek design that takes up very little space. It has two alarms and can be set to radio, beeps or songs and has an adjustable snooze setting. The built in radio works well and there's a sleep setting so that if you like to fall asleep to the radio you can have it automatically shut off after a certain amount of time.
It has an adjustable brightness level, but I found its default/highest level to be suitable. At that level it's bright enough to see in the dark, but not bright enough to keep me up. The alarm is easy to wake up to and gradually gets louder on the beep setting. It automatically set itself to the correct time and date as soon as I plugged it in, all I had to do is set the time zone. It has a DST feature that can be turned off or on.
The only feature lacking is the ability to customize the alarm for either weekdays, weekends or both. It's not a big deal, especially with two alarms but it would have been nice. Overall I'm very pleased with this alarm clock.

Decent Alarm Clock, July 31, 2009

By Jody & Dave (Cicero, NY) -

This review is from: Sony ICFC414 Sony Clock Radio (Electronics)

Decent alarm clock for the price.
Pros: inexpensive, preset time, dst auto adjust, battery backup for power failure, easy to tune radio stations, easy to read display, brightness of display is adjustable.
Cons: Alarm "A" can be set to chime or radio, Alarm "B" can only be set to chime or an electronic tune. Both alarms cannot be set to the radio. Cannot adjust or view the alarm setpoint unless the alarm is turned on, so when you pass the current time the alarm activates. Radio sound is poor but in line with the price of the alarm clock. The snooze can increased from 10 min to 20 min to 30 min etc, but if you hit the snooze button twice while initially silencing the alarm, you go straight to the 20 min snooze.
Overall: a good alarm clock for the price but I would have paid more for a full featured clock radio had I know its limitations up front.

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This practical clock radio with super big display for easy reading comes with two independent alarms--one for you, one for your partner. Wake to radio or buzzer to start the day on time. The ICF-C318 has a 0.9" green LED display, which is easily viewable from across the room, but takes up very little space on your nightstand. It hosts a number of features including dual alarm, extendable snooze bar, built-in calendar and full power memory back up.

ATS (Automatic Time Set)

The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so when the power returns you don't have to re-set the clock.

The bright green led display is visible in any light

ADST (Automatic Daylight Savings Adjustment)

When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments.

Highly Visible 0.9" Green LED

The display is easily viewable under a variety of lighting conditions. Whether in broad daylight or the middle of the night, the face remains easily readable.

Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicators

Set two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirm that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time.

Extendable Snooze

Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep.

No Power No Problem Alarm System

The pre-installed Lithium battery maintains clock and alarm operation in the event of a blackout or other power failure. So you can sleep easy knowing you'll wake up on time.

Easy, accurate, but politely quiet,

By K. West "Observer" -

This review is from: Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (White) (Electronics)

I bought two of these, (one for my husband and one for my teenage son), since they would automatically reset themselves after a power outage. They both immediately complained that the alarms were not loud enough, (both are VERY heavy sleepers). It does have a very light and polite beep with no volume control. However, the beeps gradually increase in frequency and after week of use, both of them are waking up easily to the sound and without the jarring blasts from our old alarms.
So, it may require getting accustomed to for heavy sleepers, but it's great for those of us who don't like to be blasted awake every day.

Best Alarm Clock we Ever Owned - Called a Dream Machine and it really is!, November 24, 2007

By K. Evans "Picky Consumer" -

This review is from: Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (White) (Electronics)

When our old alarm went out I had to find a new alarm quickly. When I found the Sony ICF-C318, I was just happy to discover it had no external antennae to deal with. What a bonus to find that not only was it small and inexpensive, but had no funky extra wires. It has two alarms & the time and date are automatically set! All I did is plug it in. The date was automatically correct. And if there's a power surge or power outage, it has a battery back-up (battery is included and already installed) and it loses no time. We didn't believe that, of course, and had to play with it by unplugging it a few times to test it, but it worked great! We didn't even have to re-set the time zone. Also, I usually had to re-set the alarm for my husband, but no longer. I set the A alarm for me and the B alarm for him and we are done. What I also found wonderful about this alarm was that when you set the alarm time, you can go backward or forward. Our old alarm could only go forward and it took forever; setting this alarm is a breeze. Amazing, truly.
