    ICF-218 better than in-store Dream Machines

    I bought this to replace a Sony Dream Machine I got in the mid 80's- 30 years of good service is a testament to Sony quality. I bought a current Dream Machine but returned it because digital tuning did not pick up stations that I knew I should get and the reception was poor. ICF-218 is a discontinued model with analog tuning. The radio tunes in well and the reception is good. There are more features than I need or want but once set up I can ignore the time zone, daylight saving feature and other stuff. Directions are well written (and they will be close by). The radio was poorly packaged and upon arrival needed to be opened up to reattach the speaker to the top of the radio. It is a sturdily constructed piece and had no other mishaps in transit. The sound is a little tinny ...

    Can't read the clock display unless room is pitch black - difficult to adjust dimmer settings

    Good sound for an inexpensive clock radio, HOWEVER...the display is so dim it is barely readable - even after spending nearly an hour before managing to get it to it's brightest setting. (YouTube "how to adjust brightness on a Sony dream machine ICF-C218".) It works well for music at work, but I had to keep my other clock radio because this one is so dim...so now I have TWO clocks on my desk - one for music (this one) and one for the readable clock. I've seen several other reviews regarding this, and they aren't kidding. I would not buy this clock radio again because of this. If the display could be made bright enough to read and there were a simple way to adjust brightness, I might consider a newer model.

    OK but for the dim display

    This radio is a direct replacement for the same make and model. It was necessary to replace the original due to a switch that broke after many years of use. The new replacement has one problem - its display is exceedingly dim. Too dim. Bummer.

    This clock radio is simplistic and easy to use it has a green led that's easy on the eyes .

    Pro's, This clock radio is simplistic and easy to use it has a green led that's easy on the eyes . Con's, I bought the same clock radio as a present and it worked great the only thing was the led numbers on the clock became dim after two years so I bought this same model for it's simplicity and it was reasonably priced .

    Dream Machine - Sony

    I love this clock radio! Its slim, and small enough to fit on a bedside table. Easy to use all the features like alarm, falling asleep to music, snooze.
