Customer Reviews
Good clock but deceptively named 
2008-07-24
This is a very decent little clock, but by calling it an "Automatic Time Set" clock, I thought I was buying a radio-controlled clock that sets itself based on radio signals like other so-called atomic clocks I've owned in the past. That is not the case - this clock simply has the correct time preset at the factory. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, it will not sync to the correct time automatically once the installed backup battery fails. And I haven't had it long enough to determine how well it keeps time or if I'm going to have to readjust the time every so often just to make sure it's accurate. Still, I'll keep it but I feel duped by the name of the clock and kind of regret having bought it.
The clock work really well 
2008-07-08
I am really happy with the alarm clock. If the am fm radio had great reception this clock would be a steal. As it is a really good buy for an alarm clock.
Lifesaver! 2008-07-06
This is such a lifesaver! Our power blips often and since my boyfriend is a chef he often has to get up really early after coming home really late. If the alarm doesnt go off he is in a big bind. This clock doesnt stay on while the power is off, but it does reset both the time and alarm setting after a power blip. it hasn't failed us once!
Sony's cheapest clock radio 2008-07-02
When you buy a clock-radio for less than $15, you should not have high expectations. I bought mine to fill a small space on my night stand. We are getting to the place where our only non-automatic-time clocks are found in major appliances. I wish our GE microwave oven were automatic! This Sony fills the space available very well. Pluses are it's good looks, large led readout, and good FM radio reception. If I wanted AM radio I'd be forced to return it. There are no AM stations strong enough or close enough to make it but I could care less!
Good deal and a good clock radio. Happy with purchase. 2008-06-19
Great price for this clock radio. Works good, clock is easy to see, sound is pretty good. Battery back up so it keeps the time in a black out.
GREAT, COMPACT CLOCK RADIO! 2008-06-06
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 you don't have to re-set the clock. 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. 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. Day/Night Function - Time - 12-hour system Audio Frequency Range - AM 530-1710kHz, FM 87.5-108MHz Antenna System - AM Built-in Ferrite Bar Antenna, FM Power Code Alarm - Radio or Buzzer Power Requirements - AC 120V, 60Hz Output Power - 150mW at 10% harmonic distortion Battery Life (Approx.) - Up to 250 Days with Sony battery Speaker Dimensions - 2 5/8-inch (66mm) Dimensions - Width 6 1/8 x Height 2 9/16 x Depth 5 15/16 inch (155 x 64.5 x 150mm) Weight - 1 pounds 1 ounce (495 grams)
Junk 
2008-06-04
Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black)The one I received is totally useless. will not set time automaticall or manually in any zone.
Nice Product 
2008-06-03
This is just what I wanted. The numbers are large and easy to read. I figured out how it worked without reading the manual. The buzzer is very nice. It is just beeping, not startling. It starts out slow and gets faster and faster the longer you leave it go. I have not used the radio on it yet so I cant review that part but I like everything else about it.
Good clock for the money 2008-05-28
We have a lot of power surges and I got really tired of resetting several clocks. This clock is easy to read and sets itself. The alarm is a little tricky to set and it is not for a heavy sleeper. But for the money, a good little clock.
Really nice alarm clock 2008-05-27
Great alarm clock. I love the easy way to change the setting of the alarm (just move a small lever instead of having to push two buttons at the same time as in traditional alarm clocks). The radio stations are very clear, no background noises. The time is automatically set! Just choose the time zone you live in.. Wonderful, especially for the really low cost.
