Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (White)
The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don't have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicator permits two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirms that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep.

The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary.

Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (White) Reviews
I like the functions and color. the appearance is quite good, I like it(except the black power cord as a tail in the back, but it's necessary, or will waste many batteries).
but really, I can't see why the clock would have to be sooo large (takes up ~20% of the top of her nightstand, and it's not a small nightstand). Got this for my wife. when we took it out of the box, we were both rather stunned at how large the clock is - nearly 3x larger than her current clock. Overall she's happy with it, so we're going to keep it.
If you wake easily this should not be a problem. The 'sleep' feature allows them to set the timer to 90/60/30/0 minutes till shut-off. Since they fall asleep to a low volume music, they are not able to set the wake-up alarm to 'radio'. Anyway, I bought them each one of these clocks so they'd never have to fuss with the time again. I still find myself having to wake them up. My next move.
It's a very pleasant beeping which is not that loud at all. They'd never hear it. So we set it to 'buzzer'. :) I kept having a problem with my 10 year olds forgetting to set their alarms at night or forgetting to reset the clock after an electrical 'hiccup'. Let me say that part works GREAT.
The sound is not a buzzer. a foghorn blown from the sofa where I sit drinking my morning joe and watching the news. However, they both like to fall asleep listening to music which they have on a very low volume. My two DON'T wake easily.
The clock radio arrived promptly. I would recomend it to anyone based on my experience. It has performed perfectly. It was very competitively priced.
These are great, they have a small "footprint", nice big easy to read numbers and I like the alarm reset button which allows you to turn it off for today but still keep it set for tomorrow.
