This review is from: SONY ICF-CD830 AM/FM Stereo Clock Radio with CD PlayerI ordered this from another etailer since Amazon didn't have it. It's a great unit. CD player sounds very good, but not great with no extra buzzing or noises. You can select shuffle CD and can also select the particular track you want the alarm to start on. Radio has very good reception and sound. I have not used the buzzer yet so can't comment on how ok or annoying it is. The manual says it beeps and progressively changes. You can set the CD, radio, or buzzer for the alarm...one, all, or any combination of the three each with it's own seperate wake up time. I start with a soothing CD, then NPR comes on, and then the buzzer is the final backup in case I'm really lazy that day. The display is very good, visible from variety of angles and not so bright as to be annoying at night. The unit in general feels well made and I expect it will last awhile. Good value....
This review is from: SONY ICF-CD830 AM/FM Stereo Clock Radio with CD PlayerI admit this is really excessive, but I honestly shopped around for a CD alarm clock for about six months! They are kinda' pricy and I wanted to get a good one that would last, but also had lots of features. In the end, I ended up where I started. I've had a Sony Dream Machine alarm clock for over 10 years (pre-CD alarm clocks!) It has worked great and I've had no complaints....But in the end, if this lasts me another 10 years, it was worth the money (plus the price has gone down a little.)But the best features of this alarm clock are:* You can set all three alarms...I like to have the CD start first to wake up to music, and then the buzzer goes off 15 minutes later to actually get me out of bed! * Speaking of the buzzer, this is about the best alarm I've ever heard. It isn't some harsh buzzer that starts your day off with a minor heart attack. This is a light beeping that gets louder and faster over time. So it too wakes you up nicer than many alarms.* Finally, the programming is really simple and quick, so it isn't hard to change it if you need to.So if you are looking for a CD alarm clock with all the features, this one is a good bet....
This review is from: SONY ICF-CD830 AM/FM Stereo Clock Radio with CD PlayerIn addition to all the positive comments about this model, many of the reviews here cite the lack of a battery as a potential negative. But according to Sony's specs, "POWER BACK-UP SYSTEM is built-in and needs no additional battery to maintain time and alarm settings in event of blackout or power failure."...
