 Refurbished atomic clock doesn't work. |
| Review Date: August 13, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Rachel Price, Seattle |
| I ordered the refurbished clock because I thought I would be getting the same product for a bargain price. I ordered two and neither of them are able to set their time automatically with the atomic portion. I haven't returned them as of yet because of the hassle of repackaging and shipping costs. So I just use them like regular standard radio alarm clocks and they work fine for that except the alarm on-off button is tiny and requires a nimble grip. I bought the radio because of all the fantastic reviews. I am disappointed. |

Bought one a few years ago for an alarm clock, then another one a few weeks ago just for a clock.
Absolutely great. I've only had to change the time once on the unit I bought a few YEARS ago!
Sound quality is great
Reception is AWESOME. I can pick up even weak AM radio with ease, FM even better!
Hassle free lithium battery -- no worries about it rupturing, lasts years and years - much better than the alkaline counterparts.
Big display too, can be seen from anywhere in the room.
No antenna to break.
Will buy again and again and again. I'm very picky about alarm clocks and this is one of the few I actually like. |
Just a basic clock radio

Just bought mine from Walmart for $9.96 plus tax. Not sure why Amazon is charging nearly $40 right now.
It set itself with eastern time and then I apparently "fixed" it or it fixed itself so now its central.
I bought it to replace a sony "dream machine" thats probably 20 years old. The reason I bought this was the battery back up on the old unit did not work and my power goes out a lot.
I guess I was thinking the battery backup meant it would still work even with the power out but it does not. It just doesnt "lose" the time like my old one.
Which was my primary issue. Also, I set a drink on the old one and it occasionally went nuts and didnt allow me to set it. This one is MUCH easier to set. The alarm I mean. Quicker that is.
The light is not too bright and not too dim. Just right for me. And, if I turn it away from me, I can even see it.
I have just now got it and set it so maybe I will chime in after some actual usage and see what I think. I rarely get up to an alarm but I do need one when I have to.
I considered buying an offbrand off ebay that go for around $6-7 including shipping but went ahead and bought it local so if I have an issue I can take it back.
Plus, I figure the sony name is worth a few bucks more than Naxa. Even though the same company probably makes them !
Is there a way to set it 10 minutes fast ? I like to give myself a 10 minute cushion. |

| This clock radio is weak sauce. I love Sony but not this product. It's cheap and looks good but the alarm itself sounds pathetic. Maybe that's why the box says Dream Machine. It probably doesn't wake you up. I didn't use but since the alarm is not loud I know it won't work for me. Returning it to Target asap. |
Basic that is what I need

| This is a basic radio alarm clock. Easy to use, good sound quality. The green light is a bit too strong at night that I have to move it away. Overall, it is good enough for me in my bedroom. |
