    While the automatic time set feature is nice, the controls for this clock radio are poorly designed and certainly not intuitive (and yes, my manual dexterity is very good). I have a couple of older Sony clock radios, which are SO easy to use, I really don’t know what they were thinking with this one. Would definitely NOT purchase again.

    Good all around and it’s a Sony, but it’s a clock radio and a good one but it’s not a radio to enjoy for hours.

    For a start, I love practically everything about this alarm clock/radio. Practically!

    I can’t say enough about all the aspects of this alarm clock …but this one…

    The two alarm switches on the top of the clock each have Off / Radio / Buzzer selections and are so easy to switch from one to the other that I can change accidentally and inadvertently these settings in my sleep if I bump them so I can’t trust this product to make sure I get up in time. If i try to hit the snooze elongated button and in any way “brush” either of the alarm settings to the right and left sides, they will change or turn off.

    Further, my cat climbed onto my night table and brushed both buttons and caused me a lot of panic when I finally got up almost too late for a meeting.

    When you miss anything scheduled there is cost. Sometimes the cost can be huge and sometimes it can be unrecoverable.

    Think about it. This is a serious flaw with a near perfect, in all other ways, alarm clock.

    Stay tuned for a review of some other alarm clock I will obviously purchase.

    BTW – I have one of these for sale.

    Got this last night. I love the automatic time set and the dual alarms (and it is small for all it can do).
