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

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.

Emerson Under-Cabinet Clock Radio - Red (CKD1612) Review

In a small kitchen you can run out of counter space very quickly, so under the counter works great.I bought it and have no regrets.It works well, and is easy to use, especially with a remote.I love it.Bt I had to have someone else install it ... I don't do too well with drilling holes.It keeps me company in the kitchen, which is where I hang out.Love it.The color was perfect.Red is hard to find.

Sony ICF-CDK70 Under Cabinet Kitchen Clock Radio with CD-Changer Review

I have to come clean.I wrote a scathing review of this unit earlier today.Last night, I set this up in our kitchen, but after fumbling for a couple hours to get decent reception from the ac cord/antenna, I gave up.Static and poor audio from every station on the fm dial -- and we live well within the bounds of Washington DC's radio coverage (and get great reception from all of our other radios and stereos).Well, joy of the internet!I read that refrigerators can interfere with other electronics that share the same outlet and can even interfere with electronics that are simply in the vicinity. As it turns out, I had indeed plugged the radio into the same outlet as the fridge and while I had tried everything to improve receptio last night -- even adding and extension cord to increase the "length" of the ac antenna -- it never occurred to me to try a different outlet.Sure enough, that did it.Problem solved.It turns out circuits with light dimmers can have a similar effect as fridges, too. Bottom line, make sure to select your outlet carefully.Sounds great now -- what difference.Can't seem to change the rating on this, but would give it 4 stars now, at least.
