Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (Black)
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.

Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (Black) Reviews
I know thats not much of a hassle, but I feel that they shouldn't advertise false information. The volume for the alarm clock is definitely not loud enough, and it is a beep NOT a buzzer as it says on the box. Good clock but 2 of the claimed features were not actually present. I bought it because I'm going off to college. It was not set and I had to set it myself.
Another thing is that this clock promised that the time would be set when I plugged it in. [btw: I live on the US east coast so it wasn't that I had to set the right time zone]. This is a pretty okay clock. I wanted a loud alarm clock so I could make sure I woke up for class, and I hoped this would be loud since it had two alarm settings [high and low].
However, the radio does work and it is loud enough, so you can set that as your alarm clock. However, both the settings create basically the same volume. So in conclusion: 3 out of 5 stars.
We have power interruptions quite often so it's nice not to have to reset the clock every time. The reception is very good, too. This is a great little clock radio.
This clock works just as advertised. It has a dual alarm and it was set up with the correct time when I received it.
I have finally found another great replacement. Well worth every penny. I had a Sony Dream Machine in my younger days and that alarm clock never failed me. Even with the many beers and drinks spilt on it.
Takes up very little space. Only complaint was the back-up batteries were dead when we got it. Oh well - what do you expect for less than $20. This replaces a radio we've had for 15 years. Simple to use. Hopefully it will last as long.
