 Excellent All-Around Alarm Clock September 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First, it has an superb dimmer with three settings. I searched a long time to find a clock that didn't light up half my bedroom at night, and the lowest setting on this one is perfect (you can barely see it during the day but it's exactly the right contrast for at night).
Add to that nice big numbers, dual alarms, wake to CD/buzzer/radio (by the way, it's SO much nice to wake to a CD than a loud buzz), and very intuitive controls. It's also pretty heavy and seems very well made, unlike other cheaper, lighter ones I've had in the past.
If you live somewhere that loses power a lot, then you don't want this alarm clock (no battery backup), but if you have electricity most of the time, then this Sony is an excellent pick.

We got this for my sons' room so they could wake up to a CD instead of an obnoxious alarm on school days. Frankly, it just isn't that great. It does work, most of the time. But then, once in a while, the CD won't play. It acts like there's no CD in the player, and it defaults to the buzzer alarm. Then, next time, it will probably work again.
In general, the look and feel is super cheap. It sort of gives the impression of having been hastily slapped together by a depressed laborer in a prison factory.
 Sony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarm August 15, 2008
This is a very easy to use. Intructions are clear and it's great to have 2 alarms without having to reset the main alarm. Great to have the option of waking up to a CD too!

After I got the item, I realized that this item does not play MP3. I gave a neutral review because it is amazon job to provide accurate details.
it's ok August 12, 2008
I read these reviews before I bought 2 of these cd players one for each of my girls room. Did not want to spend alot because I have had issues with dvd and cd players just stopping and no longer working and then I am stuck. I basically wanted something compact that will play a cd at night when they go to bed. Well I did not think through this bc I assumed that the cd player would have options to repeat automatically. This one does not so for my 9 month old I will have to go in to the room and press the play button again if she is not yet asleep and if she wakes up in the middle of the night there will be no miles davis to get her back to sleep. Even though this affects me and perhaps not those looking at this item it is bulky heavy and hard on the eyes. A bit outdated even for the price.
