3.0 out of 5 stars everything I wanted, one thing I didn't, October 12, 2003
This review is from: Sony ICF-C143 Dream Machine Large-Display AM/FM Clock Radio with Digital Tuner (Electronics)
What I was looking for was a clock radio that had a digital tuner and a simple alarm on/off system (I seem to have a problem with pushing switches too far and not waking up.) When I got the sony home and played with it's features I was floored, this is one of the best designed clocks I've ever seen. They put a lot of thought into this one, for example, you can set which preset radio station to wake up to. So if you want to use the sleep feature and go to bed listening to Beethoven's 5th on NPR but would rather wake up to some AC/DC you can do it!Also, the nap feature allows you to quickly set the alarm to go off in 15,30,40,etc minutes so that you don't have to reset your alarm time. And if you hit the snooze button it adds time, so instead of 10 minutes more sleep you get 20, or more! However, I'm an insomniac, and find that I can only sleep well when the room is dark. If you are like me and can't handle any light in your room, then this is not the clock for you. SERIOUSLY...Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Sony Clock radio, March 13, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony ICF-C143 Dream Machine Large-Display AM/FM Clock Radio with Digital Tuner (Electronics)
This is a great radio, but i'm taking it back. It has a nice small footprint, taking up only a little room on a nightstand. The nap feature and dual alarms are very nice features too. My primary reason for returning this radio is that the display is too bright, even at it's lowest setting. It's bright enough to keep me awake at night. At it's highest setting, this clock radio could double as a nightlight. Second, there is no battery backup. Third, the power cord is black. A very sharp contrast for a white clock radio. It just dosent look right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exact thing I've been looking for a few years....., December 30, 2002

This review is from: Sony ICF-C143 Dream Machine Large-Display AM/FM Clock Radio with Digital Tuner (Electronics)
This is a great upgrade to my old Sony Dream Machine that I bought 8 years ago. ICF-C143 has basically everything you need for an alarm clock radio, and some major improvements over my long-time discontinued model. Evidently, #ICF-C143 comes with two different LED display colors: green & orange. Don't bother to look for something else.

Pro:
Small-sized cube (similar to #ICF-C121, but more edgy & stylish looking)
Large LED display with adjustable background lighting (3 levels)
Power backup {my old one never had this}
Very fast forward/backward clock adjustment {great improvement}
Digital radio tuner (15 presets: 10 FM & 5 AM)
Strong-radio-signal-reception antenna - Sony electronics is usually bad at this! Any Sony audio enthusiast should know this.
Dual alarm (3 modes: radio, buzzer, or combo)
Cool "Nap Timer"
Easy & cool Day Saving Time (DST) button
Price

Con: None so far :-)
