Digital camera reviews of Sony ICFCDK50 Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: Bad radio reception, ok sound
Summary: 2 Stars
I looked around a good deal for a radio that would best fit a kitchen, and this radio seemed to be the best. Yes i know, radios are so "last generation" ... but i do like my NPR in the morning ... anyways .... installs nicely .... fits under the counter as designed .... as noted in other reviews, the FM antenna is built into the power chord, which is a really stupid idea .... and there is no way that i have found to attach one .... so if you are trying to avoid all those other electrical things in your kitchen to get decent reception ... good luck ... we have failed .... When playing the CD, the music is ok, but do not think you will get a full range of sound out this thing .... So, it really does not work as a radio for me, nor does it fill the room with sound ....
oh well. ....
Digital camera Review: Bad reception
Summary: 2 Stars
I was hoping to replace my old Sony boombox that sits on top of my fridge, but the reception on this is not good enough. I did move it around and it got better in some places, but still had to much static (and AM was really bad).
It's funny that the manual tells you not to put it near a fridge or microwave when it's meant for a kitchen. (I actually got worse reception when I tried putting it on the other side of the room.)
I'm returning this. Maybe Sony can start caring about its customers and provide an external antenna solution.
Digital camera Review: Better than Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This Sony ICFCDK50 Under Cabinet Radio was a great choice. Everything was
as stated.Controls are easy to use,reception is good, sound is very good
for a radio this size. Mounting was a breeze with tenmplate supplied. I
have only had it a week and would definately purchase it again. Great Radio camera Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars This is a refurbished unit, you would never know it. Unlike most under-cabinet units, this has great sound. I frequently use it for background music while I am working around the house.
Digital camera Review: Better than it's 3-cd changer brother
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Sony 3-cd changer version of this and had to return it because the changer didn't work out of the box. We ended up with this one and we love it. It is much nicer, has presets that the other one did not and is much slimmer to top it off.
Don't waster your money if you are thinking of the 3 cd changer version. It's just a moving part that can break. It makes the unit almost twice as thick and takes away your preset buttons. Everything else is the same. The sound is just as good on this unit even though the speakers face down. They actually are slightly angled in the unit to project outward.
This is an excellent unit. I love the fact that it also has a timer as well. When you are making a big meal it's nice to have an extra timer.
Another feature you won't know until you unbox both is that the cable for the MP3 player on this unit is built in and stores away nicely, the other unit with the 3 cd changer plugs into the side and sticks outward. Also the power cord sticks out the back on the 3 cd changer forcing you to keep it about an inch away from the wall which then protrudes out from the cabinet. This unit has it inset just enough to allow you to flush mount the unit against the wall for maximum space.
Hope this helps.
