According to our alarm clock expert
The Sony ICF-C1T is a stylish alarm clock with a sleek design. You can choose whether to wake up to your favorite radio show or a buzzer. Other than that, there's not much to set up. The alarm clock automatically switches to daylight savings time and back again. The Sony ICF-C1T also has a backup function, which wakes you up even when the battery is empty. An extremely useful feature is that you can set a double alarm; one for you and one for your partner. That way, oversleeping will be a thing of the past for both of you.
Note:The batteries in this alarm clock are integrated by default. They can be found at the bottom of the alarm clock.

I had been looking for a different clock radio for some time, because setting the time with my old one was getting worse and worse. If you also got a job where you have to get up half an hour later than usual once a week, I mean where you have to start half an hour later, the need for a new clock radio is increasing.
Conditions for purchase were that two alarm times had to be set, it was not a large log device and that the numbers should not emit too much light. I didn't care much for the rest, as long as he could wake me up and fit in with all the other clutter on my bedside table.
I fell in love immediately when I saw this Sony. A nice compact device with two wake-up options, a not too large display (so not that you have a sunbed next to your bed) that could also be dimmed and for a reasonable price. I also liked the built-in battery and the fact that you don't actually have to set the time yourself.
The packaging of the device is fine. Not too much fuss, not too much superfluous packaging. The operation is very intuitive, ie easy to understand for people who know nothing about electronics. It is plugged in and it is ready to use. Setting the alarm times is also fine, which was one of the most important points for me.
However, there are also disadvantages (and although they take up more space than the advantages, the disadvantages do not outweigh the many advantages). For example, the snooze button - if the alarm clock does not go off - is used to dim the display. Normally you also use it to turn off the sleep timer. However, if you now want to turn off the sleep timer, you have to press a small button that you don't find so easy with a tired head.
And then I come to a second disadvantage: the size of the buttons. Given the design, you could know in advance that the buttons can't be too big, but they are sometimes very small. The rotary knobs for volume and frequency tuning are also located quite deep in the device, making operation a little less easy. The frequency also jumps very quickly, so you quickly have some noise on the line. I also find it a bit strange that there is only a speaker on one side: the easiest thing is that the speaker is on your bed side, but if you sleep on the left side of the bed, you are out of luck (even if the volume is loud enough ).
If these disadvantages are manageable for you - just like me - then I can heartily recommend this clock radio!

Very handy that you can set 2 different alarms. Furthermore, the alarm clock is very practical, it is nice that you can set the brightness of the time (3 positions).
a disadvantage, the alarm is not that loud ... so if you easily sleep through an alarm, this alarm clock is not recommended.

Because the channel setting is not stable, you cannot rely on this alarm clock if you want to be woken up with the radio. Even if you check in the evening whether the radio still works, it can happen that it has expired the next morning and is no longer on the station. Result... no sound... awake too late. Quite tricky if you rely on your clock radio. This alarm clock is therefore only suitable as an alarm clock with the normal wake-up function, not as a radio alarm clock.
Don't buy if you want a clock radio and want to get out of bed on time. Buy it if you want a clock radio and want a good reason to oversleep.
Have had 3 now and all 3 had the same problem. So for me a bad buy.
