Great clock radio
ICF-C1 26/05/2026 by Suzieq (United Kingdom)
I've had a Sony clock radio for over 40 years. The plastic has yellowed & it has finally stopped working. I searched online for a replacement & this compact cube came up. It's great that the brightness is adjustable. I've always preferred to wake up gradually so, the radio alarm is perfect especially as the volume rises slowly. It has been easy to tune & I would recommend.

ICF-C1 18/04/2026 by Nosmo king (United Kingdom)
I bought this a few weeks ago to replace a very similar Sony Cube which had given up the ghost after many, many years of excellent service. This replacement doesn't have all the features of the original and it's not as sturdy but it does what it's supposed to do and the all black makes it look stylish. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Great little clock
ICF-C1 28/03/2026 by Jackie (United Kingdom)
Bought this alarm clock to replace an old one. This is a great little cube design. Really easy to set up and love the orange brightness that you can dull down if you want.

Excellent value
ICF-C1 04/03/2026 by Timbo (United Kingdom)
Been using the alarm clock for about 3 weeks and very pleased. Took a while to set up and needed the rather fiddly back up battery changing as was said might be the case in the instructions. But for a cheap (compared to others) alarm clock the radio quality is fine, simple to tune and display is fine. No regrets with the purchase!

Quality product at an affordable price
ICF-C1 06/02/2026 by binnocorp (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Excellent value for money. Super easy to use. You can plug it in and it's ready to go! However, I miss the early 2000s designs of Sony Dream Machines. This product is a little conservative, but it still looks like a Sony product. For the price and performance, it earns 5 stars. 👍

Parts missing
ICF-C1 03/02/2026 by Percy (United Kingdom)
Unable to tune the clock radio as the battery was missing along with the part to hold the battery. 2 subsequent Clock Radios had the same parts missing. All were returned and another clock radio was bought.

ICF-C1 02/02/2026 by dick2311 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
A replacement for a 20 year old cube but in white. Still getting used to the display colour change to a shade of orange, still can be read across the room but for me now better with glasses on otherwise a hint fuzzy around the edges. Plugging in didn’t result in the time appearing as expected but flashing ‘0:00’ which made me think that supplied battery was flat as the note in the initial instructions indicated was possible etc. So visited excellent dealer who passed directly to the setting up of time manually and all came to life.

Kept losing channels
ICF-C1 27/10/2025 by Pegsy73 (United Kingdom)
I took this back at the earliest opportunity. It kept losing channels - after about half an hour - as if it were bored listening to my selection. We'd not moved the radio, our ourselves, but it kept losing the stations and just became too annoying to use.

Not as good as the model it replaced
ICF-C1 01/02/2025 by Papacookie (United Kingdom)
The tuner is tricky to operate as it is an analogue control and I was used to presets. It is not very sensitive and I has to buy an extension for the antenna. I could not read the control functions on the casing as they were black on black, so I exchanged it for a white one.

ICF-C1 27/10/2024 by Dido the insomniac (United Kingdom)
It doesn't take up a lot of space as it's tall rather than wide, which is an asset on a small bedside table. The sleep function at 90 minutes (and smaller increments) corresponds nicely with sleep cycles. It has three light levels so can be dimmed.

En menos de un mes una de las luces de las horas no se apaga. Por ejemplo en lugar de las 23:00 el primer 2 es como un 6 invertido. El sintonizador cambia de emisora solo.

Sony clock radio
ICF-C1 28/09/2024 by NHESSEX (United Kingdom)
Purchased to replace another Sony (DAB) clock radio. The radio seems quite sensitive for fm reception despite having only a wire aerial. The tuner control however is quite coarse and tuning can take a while. The alarm reset is small and recessed into the case so tuning the radio off can take several attempts. But for the money it represents good value.

Excellent radio alarm clock
ICF-C1 01/07/2024 by Crazycatwoman (United Kingdom)
I bought this to replace a previous Sony radio alarm clock that worked perfectly for twenty plus years, but stopped working recently. Small and neat, and very easy to use. I love the gradual increase in volume of the alarm, so no rude awakenings! Time was already set up, so ready to go immediately. I’m now retired but need to get up to feed the cat, so this saves her patting me on the head with her paws to wake me up! The radio has great sound quality for its size. I would definitely recommend this product.
