Solid clock-radio

I've owned four of these models for at least three years now - one at work, one in each of our two kids' rooms and one in the master bedroom. Pros: I like the features and controls on this unit. I've had no problem setting the alarm (waking to...

Great Price, Tricky to Program at First

I've owned this CD player/Clock Radio for two year. It has survived several moves, been dropped a dozen times and still comes back for more. I can't complain about the quality. The price was a little high but it fits nicely in my office. Perhaps the...

Attractive, great sound for a cd/clock/radio, lots of options

This is one of the more attractive little cd/clock/radios, and it has a very nice sound for this type of product. It has many great features that all work well (see manuf. desc), and now that we have had it for a year, I feel safe saying it is durable...

GREAT RADIO/ALARM

This 2 alarm radio doesn't take up much space, has lots of good features and I use them all -- alarms for radio, buzzer, and CD, nap, sleep, TV audio, weather station, etc. The two things that would make it perfect are: 1) external speaker jacks - the...

I was totally happy with my "Dream Machine" for 2 or 3 years right up to the time it just completely stopped working.

Features are a snoozer

 

Features are a snoozer

This clock is pretty expensive, so I was expecting some easy to use features, and at least a weekend alarm. There is nothing easy about this clock, and the features are lacking. For example, once you set the alarm, it is very easy to un-set it, so...

Not bad sound-wise, but gets lousy reception. Might have to invest in an antenna, great.

Great product, until it broke

 

Great product, until it broke

After owning this for only 2 years, I was very disappointed that the CD player stopped working. The warranty is only for 1 year so I am out of luck. I won't purchase this product again.

CANNOT SET AND THE ALARM BEEPS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT

I NEED SOMEONE TO TELL ME HOW TO SET THE CLOCK RADIO. I PRESS CLOCK ON THE SIDE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER I PRESS THE UP AND DOWN BUTTONS. HELP!

Product Specifications

Your sleep schedule is important, so you need a clock radio with useful features. The ICF-CD843V delivers. It has triple alarm, so you can set three different alarm times, each with the option of waking to CD, buzzer or radio. The large dual time display shows both the current time and your alarm setting, and the Snoozinator Extendable Snooze lets you determine how much longer you want to sleep. The Nap Timer is a cool advancement in clock radios. It's totally separate from your alarms, so you can take naps without resetting the alarm. Simply set a nap time of 10 to 120 minutes, and never worry about messing up the alarm setting.
