Sony ICF-C218

$17.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
only two disappointments: 1)there is no dimmer switch to regulate the brightness on the clock 2) battery backup isn't a regular 9v, however, it is lithium and should last a long time.
from www.amazon.com
this product is nearly perfect: size, appearance, ease of use, factory pre-programmed time, and the lithium battery backup feature.
from www.amazon.com
the limitation is the following: when the ac power is off, the alarm does not ring, even though it has battery backup that preserves the correct time for when the power comes back on.
from www.amazon.com
it is well designed & attractive with a relatively small footprint.
from www.amazon.com
the battery backup is great.

the atomic clock worked when i first plugged it in (it took a few minutes) but when i accidentally pulled out the plug for the day, it lost the time (no battery backup-boo!), kept the alarm times,
from www.amazon.com
though no battery backup, i believe the clock has a capacitor that stores energy to retain things like radio stations and alarms setting during power outages etc.
from www.amazon.com
as others have noted, the lack of a battery backup shouldn't have happened in a clock radio in this price range.
from www.amazon.com
the lack of a battery backup is a serious oversight.
