Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: Easy to use, easy to see
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this alarm because it had the largest display. In addition to being easy to see, I also find it very easy to set (you can adjust the time both forward and backwards) and I like that the off button is off to the side and smaller. With past alarms I had a nasty habit of hitting off instead of snooze and not waking up until hours later... that's never happened with this one. There are definitely some more features that would be nice, but I'd rather have a basic alarm that meets my needs than one with lots of features that's hard to use and doesn't do the basic stuff well.Digital camera Review: Eh...
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been a long time Sony customer. I haven't written one bad review for their products until today. I bought a digital clock so you don't hear the ticking of an analog clock. This clock makes a very faint buzzing noise. When you press on the display the buzz stops. I'm not sure if it is an intermittent connection or a faulty component. Oh well, it only cost me $10. The search continues for a better one...Digital camera Review: Em, problematic
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very good value at its price. It does its job very well. I've owned this for a week now. And it's off the Atomic clock by exactly 4 seconds(slow). It gives you a lot of options when it comes to alarm type and how loud the alarm is. Setting it is kinda strange at first but it's easy to get used to once you've had it for a couple days.
Now for the complaint. The LED light is not bright enough for me. Even at its highest level(for those of you that think most LED lights are too bright, get this one, it gives you a lot of flexibility as far as how light it is. I just don't think it's bright enough). Also, the FM/AM tuning is kinda touchy and can get hard to adjust in bad areas.
Sound isn't great but isn't bad for an alarm clock either.
Overall, not a bad buy for 20 bucks.
EDIT: Alarm clock has some kink that needs to be worked out, sometimes it doesn't ring!
Digital camera Review: Enjoy Clock Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased a Sony ICF-C492 clock radio on Amazon in Jan. 2009 and I am really enjoying it. The numbers are easy to read at night and I like the idea that it has a battery so if the power should go out it will still be keeping time. I would recommend this purchase to anyone... My Mom who is 93 years old has one also and is really enjoying it.Digital camera Review: Excellent radio, but shop around
Summary: 5 Stars
I concur with the other positive reviewers of this radio. Sound quality is very good, numbers are easy to read, and overall, very user friendly. However, depending on your state and possible shipping charges, check out other Internet sites for the best price.
