Sony ICF-C1 Cube Design FM/AM Clock Radio

Description

I’ve had this Sony ICF-C1 clock radio for years – it’s one of those little things that just works really well. The design is clean and minimal, perfect for a simple, no-fuss setup. I keep it on my bedside table and it’s been a reliable companion for mornings and nights.

It has a single alarm with a choice of radio or buzzer sound, and the volume ramps up slowly so you don’t get jolted awake. I like that it has a snooze option too – just press it and you get a few extra minutes. The FM/AM tuner is solid, and it picks up stations easily.

It’s mains-powered with just one button cell battery needed – no fuss. Dimensions are 10cm on each side, so it fits nicely in a small space. I’ve used it regularly for years, and it’s still in great shape. It’s not flashy, but it does its job well.

I’m moving to Bala, Gwynedd, and I’m letting it go for £15.30 – it’s not much, but it’s something I’ve kept around for a long time. If you’re looking for a quiet, reliable clock radio that just works, this might be the one.
