Sony ICFCD543RM

Pros: Great quality sound

Cons: No battery backup

Review: This product is super easy to install. The sound quality is excellent, reception is wonderful, it comes with a magnetic remote to place on fridge & it saves counter space! I have no problems with this system. I LOVE it! ...

Pros: well-made and attractive, decent sound quality and features

Cons: no battery backup, check orientation before installing

The Bottom Line: Want a little sound in your kitchen while you're cooking and washing dishes? This unit will provide, and free up counter space at the same time

Review: I'm a long-time NPR junkie (your suspicions are confirmed: I am a pinko-commie, though I don't have an ACLU membership). So when I moved to a semi-rural Midwestern community, I was a little surprised to find no "Morning Edition" on the left end of ...

Pros: Easy to install with directions, CD player is fine. Good Sony sound.

Cons: Power cord is FM antenna, which has its challenges.

The Bottom Line: If it had a battery back up and dedicated FM antenna, it would be a great machine.

Review: We were looking for a new kitchen radio, a basic model, one that tells the time, AM and FM, along with a CD player. There were "cube" models around but we wanted something small and out of the way. That is when we came upon the Sony ICF-CD543RM Clock ...

Pros: Cute; weather radio, broadcast tv sound, bass boost, slick mounting

Cons: No under-light, no cable tv sound, no auto volume countrol, i prefer tuning knobs

The Bottom Line: If you want an undercabinet radio with weather and/or TV sound, this is the only choice, and as such there's no reason not to buy it.

Review: Not a bad unit; looks pretty. AM is staticy the way I have it mounted, but I didn't extend the cor ...

Pros: Makes sense, saves space in kitchen. Sound is good.

Cons: LCD screen too small.

Review: This Sony undercounter radio is a great crowd pleaser. The version with the TV was beyond my price range but this guy is just right in terms of price, function and SIZE. Yes it fits snugly under the kitchen counter and it was a charm to install. This ...

Pros: Handy, under-counter design. Acceptable sound quality.

Cons: Poor FM reception unless power cord is lengthened.

The Bottom Line: Acceptable product with longer FM antenna.

Review: Living in a rural area, I wasn't expecting great FM reception but out of the box this Sony product with its power cord FM antenna was unacceptable. Disappointing after spending $ 90. Not finding any information on the antenna, I opened it up and ...

Pros: Nice, pleasing sound.

Cons: Lousy CD features. No external antenna.

The Bottom Line: This unit is only suitable for the homemaker who doesn't require a lot of extras when playing that "James Taylor's Greatest Hits" CD of hers in the kitchen.

Review: This unit had so much potential but ultimately fell short in a number of areas. Construction appears to be of quality materials, the styling is good and it carries the SONY name. So far, so good. It handles a variety of CD formats and has a rich pleasing ...

Pros: Looks nice and sleek and matches the accessories in the kitch.

Cons: Sound sucks
Costs a lot
Antenna sucks

The Bottom Line: Looks good, sounds ok, but try it before you buy it if you pay full price. (And use feather fingers on the volume lowering buttons:)

Review:     We bought our "clock radio cd" about 5 years ago when the local Sears store had them on sale. We had a GE undercounter am\fm stereo cassette at the previous place, and really liked it, so I thought the Sony would blow it away as far as ...

Pros: Sleek styling, good sound on FM & CD

Cons: Poor sound on AM, TV & WX, dumb volume control, overpriced for the performance delivered.

The Bottom Line: A great design hamstrung by a couple of technical flaws and questionable Quality Control.

Review: I really really wanted to like this product, had seen it a few times in stores, and when it (finally!) went on sale I bought one right away.

I have had an old GE Spacemaker AM/FM clock radio mounted under one of the kitchen cabinets for years,...

Pros: It's just OK. AM is OK.

Cons: Audio performance. It just doesn't function like a $119 radio should.

The Bottom Line: Lousy audio and function. FM(and CD) audio performance is annoying. Function relates to the product forgetting all of its programming, every power outage. Unacceptable at this price.

Review: This product’s faults are in what it doesn't do. I was very excited to get this item. I think th ...
