Pros: Inexpensive. Decent sound for it's size and price. Gently ramping alarm. Radio works well. Cons: Display doesn't have adjustable brightness. May be too bright at night for some. BottomLine: The Sony ICF-C218 clock radio is a great bargain that provides basic but satisfactory performance and functionality. The factory preset time makes it a "plug in and go" affair.
