The tuner is tricky to operate as it is an analogue control and I was used to presets. It is not very sensitive and I has to buy an extension for the antenna. I could not read the control functions on the casing as they were black on black, so I exchanged it for a white one.

It doesn't take up a lot of space as it's tall rather than wide, which is an asset on a small bedside table. The sleep function at 90 minutes (and smaller increments) corresponds nicely with sleep cycles. It has three light levels so can be dimmed.

Purchased to replace another Sony (DAB) clock radio. The radio seems quite sensitive for fm reception despite having only a wire aerial. The tuner control however is quite coarse and tuning can take a while. The alarm reset is small and recessed into the case so tuning the radio off can take several attempts. But for the money it represents good value.
