Easy to use (with some reservations)
Trying to find a good, easy to use clock/radio is not easy. I have not been able to find an easy to use clock/radio with digital radio. So, I tried this next-best solution: a digital clock with analog radio. I got a used one on ebay, and it did not come with any instructions. I tried to set the clock, and it seemed like it would be straight-forward. But, I had to look up the user manual to set it. The odd thing about the set-up is that you have to enter the date (year, month, day) first, even though there is no display for this date information. So, the Clock-set button initiates this date-setting program first, and it starts flashing "98". What is this? It turns out that this initial flashing represents the year (1998), and you have to change th numbers to "17" (indicating 2017). Then you have to input the month (1-12) and the day. This is not really an obvious easy-to-set clock. But, after you understand the date set up (which is a stupid design flaw), the operation of the clock/radio is self- explanatory. The numerals are green (red would be better), but the dimmer allows you to dim the brightness quite well.Read full review

A good clock with some flaws
The knobs are really easy to turn. Difficult to get them on the right setting, and sometime accidentally move setting an alarm you did not want. I was looking for a programmable snooze, so i could set it to 4 minutes instead of 9. The snooze on this clock only increases from 9 minutes. Not useful for me, but may be fine for you.Read full review

It’s a Dream Machine!
Well designed to begin with, one can appreciate this handsome clock radio even more as a vintage piece. Bold blue digital numerals adjust in brightness to allow sound sleep. Radio has a very good tone, surprising for such a small unit. Dual alarms come in handy for those who tend to oversleep. I recommend this product. It’s a Dream Machine!Read full review

Best alarm clock I've ever used!
So I've owned about 20 different alarm clocks. Returned them all. They where to hard to work and or set times, or turn off the alarm when you've still got your eyes closed and can't mess with a touch screen, or all these other new things they cram into alarm clocks now. This one works, and it has 2 alarms for heavy sleepers like myself. Plus it's easy to use. I don't want to hook my phone up to it, figure out how to do it, and realize that it's to much of a pain in the ass to do all that stuff.Read full review

I LOVE THE SONY AM FM CLOCK!
I am so thankful that I chose this little clock! It is simply the greatest clock. No one would guess that it is not brand new! I will surely check out your website often for more deals like this.

Love this clock!
Mine fried in a power surge during a storm. I searched for another as replacement. Found here. It has 2 alarms, and super easy to set, especially when you just want it 15 minutes earlier you don’t have to go all the way around. I looked at all the alarm clocks out there and none compare to this since i don’t want or need USB.Read full review

EXTREMELY USER FRIENDLY
Very easy to set up (I got the instructions online) has 2 alarm settings which is a nice feature and the radio has a nice sound for a clock/radio. When I say it's user friendly, I can't stress that enough - I am not an electronics pro by any means, but this was simple to set up. Very happy with my purchase.Read full review

Easiest to use dual alarm clock radio.
Most alarm clock radios tell the user to hold down the alarm and advance hours then minutes and can only go forward in time, not back. The Sony Dream Machine sets the alarms in BOTH directions. Sleep function is 90,60,30, and 15 minutes.. so you can set the amount of time to go to sleep with the radio.
The 9-volt battery backup holds your settings if the power goes out.
Great sound and easy display for radio or alarms.Read full review

gentle bedside treasure
I have had the dream machine for a number of years & just recently a storm caused a break in our electrical line & the power surge fried my clock radio. I was thrilled to find the exact replacement. It is not only an easy read for time but it wakes me up with either the alarm or my favorite radio program. I have two alarms set because on some days I need to be up at 6 am & on other days 7 am. I like the compact stylish appearance, too. It is so user friendly that I have no negative things to report .Read full review
