Pros & Cons
Pros
It's a bargain at $20 including shipping, and i liked that it had a large display that could be dimmed if necessary. The adjustable dimmer dial is very nice to have, since most digital clocks have only a toggle for dim and bright. The numbers are big ... Read More
Only thing i did not like is that it does not hold (as it is supposed to) the settings in case of power outage. The controls are a little tricky, but all in all, it's a good clock for the price! Display is a knock-out.
It takes up very little space on my night stand. Good vertical size for bedsize use.

If the third round does not work i want my money refunded to my credit card. Something about the construction of this clock causes vibrations which produces a faint buzzing or rattling sound. Sony's green led display is too dim for a sunlit room.

A pluss as i am retired and on a fixed budget.
Shipping
I received the product in a timely manor with no shipping cost.
Competitiveness
Sony was obviously hoping they could trick you into buying a sony-brand battery.
With all the new led technology some bright idiot designers decided that a bedroom alarm clock radio had to be able to light up... Read More

While its nice that it has a decent radio my main reasons for choosing this over other models was the battery backup feature and a compact footprint that still features a large dimmable displaya perfect size for her night stand
