Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black)The one I received is totally useless. will not set time automaticall or manually in any zone. from Amazon.com Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (White) We purchased this clock radio because of it's large time display. Works great. from Amazon.com I have been very pleased with the Sony ICF-C218, but I keep seeing that people refer to it as being an Atomic Clock. Well its not! from Amazon.com I recently purchased two of these Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radios. One for me and one for my sister who lives 25 minutes from me. from Amazon.com My Bose Wave radio quit working suddenly one day and I called the company and found I could get it reconditioned for $99. Well I figured I could get a decent radio for less than that, so got a recommendation from my daughter. from Amazon.com Unfortunately, I am not able to rate the Sony ICF-C218 as highly as my colleagues. Not that this clock radio doesn't have numerous good features. from Amazon.com For a clock that costs just a bit over $10, the Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio is much higher quality than I expected. The automatic time set immediately, the build quality feels solid and durable, the large green numbers are bright and easy to read, and the radio is surprisingly clear. from Amazon.com I looked at the Sony ICF-C218 clock radio primarily as an alarm clock. In that function it succeeds quite well, except for one deal-breaking limitation that caused me to switch over to its updated sibling the ICF-C318. from Amazon.com The ICF-C318 I bought at the same time is great, the C218 is ok and probably would have been better appreciated had I not gotten a C318 at the same time. This is still a right good value in a radio alarm clock but if you have a few dollars more go with the C318 is my suggestion. from Amazon.com Maybe I'm just an idiot, but my ten-year-old dual alarm Sony Dream Machine buttons quit working, so on an impulse while shopping at Walmart, saw this one. Didn't think I'd need the dual alarm anymore since my husband retired, but then he started working again and I miss the dual feature. from Amazon.com
