Reddit mentions of Sony ICFC218 Dream Machine Clock Radio (Black)

I have this one that has the automatic time set. It is incredible. I got it a before DST changed dates and it knew the new dates and changed itself. Going strong about 7 years later.

Get an old sheet or a tarp and put it down in the entry way. You're going to be tracking all kinds of nastiness in from outside while you're moving all your boxes in. Your apartment/carpet was just professionally cleaned and you don't want to get it gross on the first day! Also, I'm sure the absolute last thing you'll want to do after moving is vacuum.
In the morning order pizza online for lunch or dinner. A lot of places let you enter in what time you want your order. Now no one has to figure out when the best time to stop is and it takes all the conversation out about "well, what do YOU want?"
I believe that an alarm clock is essential. I turn my phone completely off at night so I won't be woken up and I can't tell you how many times I've selected "PM" when I wanted AM when trying to use it to wake up.
This IS THE BEST ALARM CLOCK EVER why? BACKUP BATTERY - if your apartment loses power the clocks stays on. NEVER MISS WORK AGAIN! :D It even has a daylight savings function. I've had this one for over 6 years and it's still amazing.

This is my cheap alarm radio. It has a tab for up and down setting of the alarm.

The answer: it is cheap to have up and down buttons. But when you want to make the absolute cheapest product possible, and no one gives a thought about design, the most minimal design is a 4 button solution.
