Pros: Very few. ?Large digits on the clock portion if visually impaired. ?CD. Cons: No presets. from Shopping.com It does what I need, which includes dual alarm, sleeper, multiple waking up choices, radio and CD. The CD player's sound quality is fine considering the price. from Amazon.com This clock radio is a great way to wake to your favorite tunes. Operation is straight forward and fairly simple. Sound quality is about what you would expect from a clock radio, I expected a little better since it's a Sony. The display has three settings. from Amazon.com I have a 30 year old Sony Dream Machine that still works and use it nearly every day. The sound quality of this original 1980s radio is *far* superior to this ICF-CD815. from Amazon.com I just got home with this clock radio, and I now realize that I have to take it back to the store (not Amazon). I'd researched this product a while back, and I was aware that it didn't have a battery backup at that time, but I saw it in a local retailer here in Dallas, and their shelf tag listed "battery backup" as one of the features. I thought, "Oh, I guess Sony realized the goof and upgraded this model to include the obviously-necessary battery backup." No such luck, and shame on me for not reading the product box itself to confirm that the feature was present - I didn't, and it ain't. It boggles my mind that a company like Sony has not wised up to such a blatant design flaw in an otherwise excellent product. from Amazon.com JSony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarmust got it and it skipped on and continues to skip one of my brand new CDs.... FRUSTRATED, FRUSTRATED, FRUSTRATED, FRUSTRATED from Amazon.com Power cycle by unplugging from the wall, try try again....no change. Perform an indian rain dance, holding it over your head and chanting.........actually that works, sometimes. REALLY - whatever contacts Sony is using in this clock alarm must corrode real easy, - 'cos it's a GREAT idea.....that i can't use. BTW - Mr. from Amazon.com I bought this clock a couple years ago, and I still think "What a great product" every time I set it. Before I found this product, I wished I could find a CD alarm clock that was readable from across the room in the daytime, and very easy to set at night when I'm tired, and this one is exactly that. The buttons are very large and easy to press, which make it fun to use. from Amazon.com I readily paid more for this item over some of its competition on the basis of the Sony name alone. Over the years, I've come to trust Sony implicitly. from Amazon.com A little pricier than I wanted, but very user friendly. Love the multiple alarms and that you can wake up to any track on the CD. It doesn't get very loud (for my morning routine), but I mainly bought it for the CD alarm feature, so I'm happy. from Amazon.com
