A Great Speaker Alarm Clock System for your Ipod or Iphone! July 22, 2010

For it's size, this little Sony Dream Machine iPod /iPhone alarm clock rocks. It's the best sounding iPod/iPhone speaker dock that I've heard. The sound is warm and crisp... as it should be! Compared to other docks, I think I'd rank it as medium sized. I bought it to replace my older CD radio alarm clock, and this sounds twice as good and twice as loud. If you're looking for a great sounding and affordable iPhone/iPod clock radio that lets you wake up to the music on your player, this is it! I believe it gives you great bang for your buck and it sounds much better than a fancy 'Philips' brand speaker dock that I had before (see my other reviews). I especially like that I can dock my iPhone on it without even removing it from it's iPhone case... because constantly removing your iphone case (to dock) is a big pain in the (you know what). Because it sounds so good, is easy to use, and is still pretty affordable... I had to give it a full 5 Stars. I don't normally give 5 Stars, but this thing is a winner. It is just designed well! For example, I didn't even have to set the time on it because when I placed my iPhone on it, it automatically synched the time with the Phone. Brilliant! :)

I bought this as a high school graduation gift for a female relative. She LOVES it and plans to take it to college with her. The speaker sound is great, it works with different iPods, and is nice and compact. After reading up on other reviews, I am glad I chose this item for her.
Happy Camper with Sony Clock Radio (ICF-CS10iP) July 18, 2010

This is the most satisfied I have been with with an electronic device in a long time. Bought 6/13/10 for $89. The Sony Dream Machine clock radio really surprised me. The sound clarity, volume capability, design layout, and quality is impressive. A salesman at Frys recommended it, but was sold out. Recently, on Fathers Day, I received a Panasonic radio/CD player/ipod dock system as a gift. Weaker reception and volume.....the Sony blows it away. ~ Mark in SoCal 7/18/10~
 Nice Features With One "Glaring" Weakness July 11, 2010

This item has some nice features, but has one "glaring" weakness that may be a deal killer for some people.
First of all, I really like the sound it puts out. Some people don't like the "Mega Expand", but I like it. Sounds fuller when it's on. The "Mega Bass" is nice, but not very strong.
The alarms are easy to set and use. Again, some people have complained that the buzzer alarm (or chirping sound) is too soft and they fear that it won't wake them up. I found that it wakes me up every time, right away, and I even sleep with a big box fan roaring away next to my bed (for white noise), so for most people, I don't think this will be a problem.
The unit charges, plays, and controls my ipod (1st generation iopd touch) just fine, and the remote is easy to use also.
Both AM and FM radio functions work very well. I live in the boondocks, far from any big city, and I can pull in many stations.
The manual says there are three brightness levels for the LCD clock face: high, medium, and low. This isn't true, as your actual levels are: high, medium, and OFF (as in completely off). This leads to the one, big glaring weakness that this unit has. The medium clock face setting is WAY too bright to be used as a bedside alarm clock. It lights up the room. While some people can sleep with it, many people can't. If you turn off the display, it defeats the whole purpose of having a bedside alarm clock that you can glance at in the middle of the night to see what time it is. I wish manufacturers would get it through their heads that their LCD displays are way too bright for a lot of people, but so many of them still don't get it. Too bad. If Sony would only fix this problem, this Dream Machine would be a winner.
