Great For The Price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony ICF-C212 FM/AM Clock Radio with Full Power Back-up (Black) (Electronics)
I got as much or more than I was expecting with this Sony clock radio. Yes, the controls are a bit cramped. Yes, the sliding "on-off-alarm" switch is a bit difficult to navigate in the dark. But it's a good looking little thing, and it had the battery back-up I was looking for, creating less chance of being late for work in the event of a power failure.So how did I get "more" than I was expecting? This thing sounds much better than the 20 year old GE clock radio it's replacing, and it comes with an FM antenna (a small wire dangling off the back). FM and AM reception were both better than with my trusty GE, who's only drawback was that the battery only saved the time during a power failure, but wouldn't set off the alarm. A great Amazon.com price on a great little Sony clock radio!

Overall Good Alarm Clock except Whack Battery Requirements,

This review is from: Sony ICF-C212 FM/AM Clock Radio with Full Power Back-up (Black) (Electronics)
What can I say, it's an alarm clock, it does what it's supposed to do. Can't expect too much from the radio. My only rant is the battery. BATTERY BATTERY BATTERY! This will not accept your regular 9V Batteries because it requires a specific type ( IEC code 6F22 to be exact). The specification is listed in the manual and on the battery lid. This can only be a problem if you so desire battery backup power. These batteries are Heavy Duty Industrial type and will set you back at least $5 per versus the buck something of the regular 9v batteries. Most stores don't even carry these. Googling these yielded returns from the UK and China. Regular 9V Engergizers and Duracells have IEC codes of 6LR61. My sister and I have two of these clock radios and have tried various Battery Brands to no avail. We haven't tried 6F22 or 8F22 (more common), though. Hope this helps.

This review is from: Sony ICF-C212 FM/AM Clock Radio with Full Power Back-up (Black) (Electronics)
Easy to set up and easy to use. Can use buzzer or radio to wake you up. Easy to set time and alarm. Only has one alarm.
The tuning dial is very short (about four inches covers the entire range from 88 to 108 MHz) so you need a little patience to tune to your favorite station. I have not tried the AM tuning,so cannot comment on that. I wish it had a connection for an external antenna, but then I keep reminding myself that it is only a clock radio! Lighted digits are large and easily read in day or night, but not so bright to disturb you as you sleep. Snooze and sleep functions work fine.
