Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarm
Digital camera Review: Does the job!
Summary: 5 Stars
The old clock radio finally died and my husband and I thought it would be nice to have a CD player in the bedroom to listen to audio books in bed now and then (yes, I know, but it depends on the book!!). We've found the sound quality on such an inexpensive item to be extremely good, it's easy to tune the radio in and we like the huge time display - I can even see it without my glasses at night!! So far, it's awakened us at our ridiculously early get up time during the week without fail. No complaints - very happy with this clock/radio/CD player.Digital camera Review: Does the job, but lacks a battery backup
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this clock radio to replace my broken Timex radio, and overall this is a much better unit for less money than the Timex. The display is great. I prefer a traditional display like this, and the dimmer is perfect. The sound quality is not bad for under $40. I was a little surprised that it still had a manual tuner, but once again, it is not their best radio. It receives fine, even where I'm at, which is pretty much the middle of nowhere.
The one disappointment I have with this radio is the lack of a battery backup for the clock. What were they thinking? Most clock radios today have at least a battery to hold the time, and many today have an auto-set feature. Aside from this oversight, though, it is a great unit.
Digital camera Review: Dream Machine Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
It took a little sleuthing and experimenting to figure out how to use all the features and make all adjustments, but it is a great machine. The sound quality is very good. And waking up to a CD of choice makes starting the day just a little better.Digital camera Review: Dreaming of better technology.
Summary: 1 Stars
The cd player skips at the least bump or vibration, it's much larger that it looks in the picture, much larger than it needs to be and the multifunction switches are trouble. And last but certainly not least, Sony has set a new low in alarm clock technology...where every other manufacturer in the world has a battery backup in case of a power outage...the Sony Dream Machine does not! I guess they figure if there is a blip in the power you should just go on "Dreaming". Oh and by the way, make sure you have the instruction manual handy, once the power goes back on you'll need it to go through the process of resetting everything. If you're looking for a really good and less expensive radio/cd player alarm, check out the RCA RP5600.Digital camera Review: Dual alarm -- misleading
Summary: 2 Stars
The item is advertised as "dual alarm" with CD, radio and Buzzer modes. What is not advertised is that BOTH alarms must be set the same way (CD or radio or buzzer). This is not what SONY meant by "Dual alarm" the last time I bought a similar item. It is useless to me.
