Some customer reviews of Sony ICF-C273
Most helpful reviewsConfirmed purchaser
- Good points:
-
Brightness can be turned down to very low for night use but time is still viewable.
Single click to turn alarm to inactive for weekends etc - Bad points:
-
Side dial volume control very sensitive - can be easily knocked to off or turned too high
When setting the time or alarm functions, you need to compete all the options, it won't 'time out' when you have changed what you want
Finding the radio chanels is a bit fiddly but once done its easy to use

Other fascia colours would be a nice touch.

- Good points:
- It does the job, and the presets are particularly useful.
- Bad points:
- The "off" bar is rather easily touched when pressiing other controls, and the volume controller is not ver easy to use. I wish it had the possibility of a low volume for "sleep" and a higher one for wake to radio!
