Sony ICFC-1 Alarm Clock Radio LED Black (Renewed)

I try not to sleep with my phone on the nightstand so I can resist the urge to scroll through it before bed. Unfortunately it is my most convenient means to setting an alarm and checking the time in the morning. A simple solution: a good old fashioned alarm clock.This clock radio fulfilled all expectations. It has an AM/FM tuner, an alarm feature, and despite what other reviewers said you CAN manually set the time. I really appreciate the simple aesthetic, is easy to read, and it looks great on the nightstand. The brightness settings are adjustable, but honestly even the brightest setting is not going to disturb you unless you are an extremely light sleeper.My only tiny complaints; I wish it had an AM preset and an FM preset. I like to listen to baseball games on the AM dial, and wake up to music on the FM dial. It also only has one alarm - but it's really not a hassle to set it a few hours forward or backward if I want to sleep in or get up early.My renewed version of this clock looked essentially new. $15 for this alarm clock was a steal.

What a great clock radio. Can listen to FM radio stations while going to sleep. 3 light intensity for numbers. Sony japanese quality.

This refurbished product is clean and functional. I had no trouble setting the time and alarm and sleep function or playing the radio, but I did need the enclosed instructions because the set up is not intuitive. The reception I get is actually good, in my opinion, both AM and FM. The brightness adjustment is good, too.This product DOES NOT come with a battery. The main description says that it does come with a battery that is at least 80%, but when you click on "see more", where is says "battery included", the answer is "NO", so that's a buyer beware issue. There is actually just a gaping hole (with no cover) on the bottom of the unit where the battery would go.But this unit is fine for my purposes and has a nice, small footprint on the nightstand.

This is a reat little bedside clock radio. Small footprint, easy toadjust and read the display and, for its price and size, it has a good quality sound. The only thing that could use improvement on are the adjustment buttons on th back. They and their lables are all the same black color/material as the radio housing itself, making it difficult for older eyes to identify.

this clock gained 20 minutes in a month, and I am unable to set it to the correct time. If I had done more poking around, I would have discovered this is a known and unsolvable issue for the entire life of this product-has to do with the fact that "Sony was too cheap to use a proper IC that tracks the time via the AC mains frequency" according to IFixit.com. the radio is ok, but the clock is useless unless you always know how much it is off. this is a true POS.

I love the design of this alarm clock. It has an easy to use interface (once you get the hang of it) and it looks more sleek/modern than almost any others at this price. That said, the FM reception is really really disappointing. Getting clear reception of one of the largest FM stations (in the one of the largest FM markets in the US) is almost impossible. I like that the radio speaker reminds me of the old school sound quality you'd get back in my earlier days. It's great to listen to at night if you can get the station tuned in just right - remember it has a hand dial to tune the stations so it takes "finesse" to get it right. I really really wish this clock had decent a FM tuner. If it did it might just be perfect for my needs.

I wanted a Sony dream machine alarm clock and this item came up in my Amazon search. It is an Amazon refurbished item and it was listed as excellent condition. You’d never know it was previously used by anyone. I like that the display is an amber color; not LED white or red like so many other new alarm colors. Those are so bright they light up your entire bedroom. The amber color does not. Also you can adjust the brightness of the display. Easy enough to set up; it came with the original instructions. It did not come with the battery back up but that’s ok. The price was right and fit my budget perfectly.

Easy to set. Clear time display, no wire antenna needed. This clock is amazing for the price and is slick too. There is a cmos battery that keeps time if unplugged or power goes out so you don't have to reset it
