Amazon.com Product Description
Wake up in style with the Sony ICF-C492 AM/FM clock radio. Outfitted with a jumbo 1.4-inch green LED display, variable brightness control, an analog AM/FM tuner--and yes, a big honkin' snooze bar--this handy companion is sure to get you going in the morning. The space-conscious design is attractive and stylish, with a modern aesthetic that takes up hardly any space on the nightstand. The large display is also a plus, as it makes it easy to tell time from a distance--a particular bonus for people with poor vision. Households with more than one sleeper will appreciate the dual alarm, which allows two separate people to wake at different times without resetting the alarm. And should you need a more abrupt noise than the radio can provide, the ICF-C492 offers both loud and soft buzzer alarms. Additional features include a sleep timer and a memory backup function that preserves the clock and alarm settings should the power go out (requires 9-volt battery). The clock radio measures 7.88 by 4 by 4.38 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

 Great dimmer, easy to set, always works September 20, 2005
Happy Sleeper

This is the fourth alarm clock I have tried in the last year, and this one is a keeper! I wanted a dual alarm that I could set very quiet since I am a light sleeper. I was shocked that two brand new alarm clocks I bought simply did not work right. I would set the alarm and it would not go off. This one works every time.
The dimmer on the display is great. I had one alarm clock that I had to drape with a cloth because it was so bright. That pretty much defeats the purpose. There's no need for a drop cloth with this clock.
The one little complaint that I have is that the dual alarm has one alarm on music and one alarm on buzzer. You can not have two different alarm settings that both play music.
This isn't as bad as I thought, though, because the alarm time is very easy to chage, yet you can't accidentally change it by bumping into it.
The radio reception is even good.
Excellent radio, but shop around October 6, 2005

I concur with the other positive reviewers of this radio. Sound quality is very good, numbers are easy to read, and overall, very user friendly. However, depending on your state and possible shipping charges, check out other Internet sites for the best price.
Manual states power failure causes time fluctuation October 30, 2006

The time fluctuations noted by many reviewers of this product is cited in the product manual. In the manual it states, "After a power interruption, the displayed time may not be always correct (it may gain or lose about 10 minutes per hour)." So perhaps those having difficulties with the accuracy of this product may be attempting to use it with power that is not consistent.

There is nothing here but clear numbers, a decent radio and an easy to use set of alarms. The design is simple, and it doesn't look "junky" on the nightstand like many other clock radios do. The only downside - the external antenna cord that seems to always float around behind the radio. Otherwise this is a good buy for under $20.
NICE!! April 27, 2007
