Amazon.com Product Description
Wake up in style with the Sony ICF-C492 AM/FM clock radio. Outfitted with a jumbo 1.4-inch green LED display, variable brightness control, an analog AM/FM tuner--and yes, a big honkin' snooze bar--this handy companion is sure to get you going in the morning. The space-conscious design is attractive and stylish, with a modern aesthetic that takes up hardly any space on the nightstand. The large display is also a plus, as it makes it easy to tell time from a distance--a particular bonus for people with poor vision. Households with more than one sleeper will appreciate the dual alarm, which allows two separate people to wake at different times without resetting the alarm. And should you need a more abrupt noise than the radio can provide, the ICF-C492 offers both loud and soft buzzer alarms. Additional features include a sleep timer and a memory backup function that preserves the clock and alarm settings should the power go out (requires 9-volt battery). The clock radio measures 7.88 by 4 by 4.38 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

 I loved it! July 15, 2008

I bought this product as a gift for my mother. I loved it and I will buy one for me.
 good clock June 29, 2008

The numbers are very easily seen at night. A very good clock for people who have trouble seeing in the dark. Too bad the radio is analog.
 Not useful June 22, 2008
Bharat V. Hegde (India)
I bought this 2 weeks ago. Now the time lags behind ( i.e clock is 10 seconds slower every minute.)
Got it from US to India, not sure if anybody can service this.
Atleast for me this was a huge disappointment since I believed in the name "Sony'. Also I can not return it at the moment.

I don't usually write reviews, but I am doubly annoyed at this product because we bought two at the same time only to have them gradually fall apart. OK, it became part of our routine to set the clock back a few minutes everyday to compensate for it speeding ahead. But then it developed an annoying habit of issuing a short burst of the alarm at odd hours of the night. Both clocks are now in the trash.... what a waste of money.
poor quality April 27, 2008

Something about the construction of this clock causes vibrations which produces a faint buzzing or rattling sound. Pressing on the clock stops the sound until I release pressure. As far as I can tell, the sound is from the battery cover rattling, but something else internal is causing the vibrations. The rattle is not loud, but it keeps me up at times. Besides this, parts of the display seem to be going out and it doesn't keep good time.
I am very disappointed. I can't seem to find a quality alarm clock with the basic features. I don't need/want a radio, or a self setting time (which typically gets time changes incorrect), or a CD player, or laser displays...I just need a simple plug in alarm clock with battery backup that doesn't buzz or die within a couple months...anyone listening?
