Sony ICF-CD553 - CD clock radio - radio / CD - silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First I owned the earlier LIV radio. It was only a C-note to buy, but it had a cheap plastic look about it. Most importantly, any radio is only as good as it's reception. That old one could not pull in many stations including my favorite most listened to one. The new LIV was pricier and I thought I'd try it to see if Sony improved it, or just introduced a costlier gimmick. The appearance is first rate that looks like a high-end stereo component and compliments my stainless steel appliances. The antenna is in the power cord like the old one and this cord was noticably shorter. They did something right as this unit pulled in more stations with clear reception, including my favorite station. The CD section works fine, but I use this mainly for the radio now. It sees daily usage in my kitchen and I'd recommend it highly.

JENSEN AWM910 RV WALL MOUNT CD PLAYER AM/FM RADIO Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this radio less than a year ago. Upon bringing the camper home from indoor storage the unit will turn on but nothing else on it works. I have tried resetting the unit, unplugging the power, and anything else I can think of and it will not work. I am very disappointed.

Sony ICF-CD543RM Kitchen CD Clock Radio (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried other radios in the kitchen, but none could compare to the sound of this unit. FM reception's pretty good too. The "kitchen friendly" controls are easy to clean. Mounting is done by drilling three holes, for which it has a paper template, and it has adjustable spacers to accommodate cabinets with recessed bottoms. It's about 11-1/2 inches deep and just an inch or two wider.
I don't seem to get any weather band channels, and the TV channels I get are very quiet so I have to remember to turn the sound down before switching to FM or CD. The timer's a nice feature for the kitchen but seconds can't be set and it takes a lot of turning to get to longer bake times, like an hour or more. The magnetic remote's also nice but you have to be able to see the sensor and stay within about 45 degrees for it to work.
Overall I'm very happy with it. The sound is great and makes spending all day around the kitchen less lonely, plus it doesn't take up any counter space. I do feel like I paid a small premium for the name Sony though.
