I have had mine since at least 1990. My favorite part about is the footprint - it takes up such a tiny space. Glad to see I am not the only one with an attachment to this classic!

I got this once as a leaving present from a job - they insisted there was no hidden message!

i still have mine. got it in 1986 i think because i know i had it when i graduated high school in 1987. still works like a charm. i loved the description of reaching over and smacking the alarm bar because that is always the first thing i think about when i think about this clock! i have since moved on to a Logitech Squeezebox but will not get rid of my Dream Machine not matter how much my friends make fun of me. the only reason i even considered replacing it was because local stations are impossible to get anymore. viva la Dream Machine

I had that alarm clock from elementary school until I finished college. Somehow after college it diappeared in the mix and I often wonder where it ended up. I even used to get excited every time it popped up in a movie, "I have that!!" Ahh, sweet nostalgia.

I still have my Dream Machine, too. Mine isn't quite that old. It's round and actually does have a CD player. Best alarm clock ever.

I am still using mine, a black one (the white gets smudged too easily). I think it belonged to my ex and left to me when we split therefore it probably came from the 80's. And hitting the bar first thing in the morning is so true! Although i no longer do that, just let NPR play on until I am ready to get up. cross my fingers and hope it lives on forever!

I adore my Dream Machine. I thought I was the only one, until now! Recently, I've had a hard time changing the time and I am so afraid that it is on its last legs. I love the fact that it's so compact, so perfect for a small bedside stand.

On my night table for about 15 years. My night table has changed, and so has my address, but my Dream Machine is still "ticking" next to my bed as always!

Ah! I think my mom still has hers! So cool to see. :)

i had one, too! i didn't know how iconic they were!

I still have mine--probably going on a good 15+ years. That snooze button knows my habits well...

I've had my Dream Machine since 1990 and it's still kicking and looking good! Which is surprising, considering in my youth I covered it in stickers (thanks goo gone) and during my adolescence I decorated it with nail polish (thank god I got it all off). Here we are 22 years later and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps working like it always has.

mine is still in use from 1989

Oh, this was my first alarm clock! I probably got it in 1990 or so. I don't use it anymore (I have one with a dimmer display), but it's definitely still buried in a closet somewhere and I bet it still works.

I still use this everyday. Gosh, I've probably had it since the early 90's and it still works great.

I feel left out. :( I use those little black clocks with faux wood panelling. I had a childrens version of the dream machine when I was little that had a star night light on it. :)

I've had mine since 1992 when my sister and I got our own rooms. I'm in my 30s and I still love the turtle stickers I put all over it!

I had one from elementary school on through college...now my son uses it to wake up for kindergarten!

I still use my Sony Dream machine EZ alarm -- the interface was (is) the best -- two dials on the front -- one to set (for the alarm) the hour and the other for the minutes. So easy (or should I say EZ!) to use, I can;t believe it wasn't more popular. Alas, the "sleep" button has worn out, so I have a more modern Sony if I want music/news while I doze off.

Here's an article about "EZ" alarm radios:

I have one still sitting on my night stand... haven't used it in 5 years, in fact it hasn't been plugged in for that long. Once I got my iPhone, that became my alarm clock and I needed the outlet for my iPhone charger.

I had one I got in high school that is still in my old bedroom at my parents' house. I got a second one when I went away to college, which is the one that's now been beside my bed for the past 16 years.

I forgot to mention that my EZ alarm is from the early 80s!

And speaking of ancient electronics, my mom gave me a Panasonic AM/FM Cassette player (mono!) for my graduation from elementary school -- back in 1971. I still used it as my kitchen radio until just several years ago, when it finally died! And I still use a Lafayette amplifier and tuner for my stereo. So now you know the "mid-c" handle isn't just about my passion for mid-century style!!!

love! haha how much is nostalgia worth? There is one on Amazon for a mere $200 that is very similar to the one pictured -- white, cube, oh so 80s!

Here's an alternative...and docks/charges your iPhone/iPad. I love mine and have purchased a few as gifts.

Ah, the good old days when electronics stood the test of time and didn't set your house on fire. I loved my dream machine. I think my sister stole mine...I wonder if she still has it?

I have the new dream machine. I LOVE it . it's not iconic. it's not beautiful... but it's awesome.

you don't have to set the alarm everyday (when you turn it off in the morning, it is automatically set for the next day unless you disable it).

you can snooze 10,20,30,40,50 or 60 minutes just by hitting hte snooze button multiple times.
you can change the time and alarms up and down ( no having to go all the way around...)

it changes automatically for daylight savings tmie.

it was the cheapest one at walgreens and it makes me so happy! long live the dream machine!

This baby got me through three years of law school final exams, moot court, and my first job interviews. I loved that it was so simple, took up such little space, and was sleek enough to blend in with the other items on my desk/night stand.

What? They are extinct?!! Never occurred to me! Still use mine every day.

Q107 is that columbia, sc?

Mine's black, from 1984. It lives on the nightstand and works great.

I've had mine since I was 10. I didn't realize it was iconic! Still works, still gets me up in the morning. The radio station may have changed, but why replace what works?

i had that same one! from jr high school all the way through college.. until one day the alarm went off and i could never get it to turn off and i had to get a new one..

holy crap, i thought i was an extremely rare breed that still has the cube dream machine....it's been close to 25 years and still going strong and i refuse to get rid of it. glad there are others out there!

I still use my dream machine! My parents bought it for me in 1984 or 85, when i was 8 or 9 years old. Almost thirty years later, i often wish it would break already - i'm so bored of it - but it just won't die!

I had HORRIBLE luck with clock-radios, including the Dream Machine! All of them broke anywhere from a few months to a couple of years after I got them.

Funny...I was just looking at my Dream Machine on my nightstand and thinking how I will never get rid of that. So great to see so many others feeling the same way.

I, too, love my little Dream Machine! Glad too see there are lots of other fans.

TRACYASHLEY, me too!! I got mine as a birthday present in 5th grade, so I could be responsible for waking myself up. Except mine was the ugly beige rectangle version. It was always set to KMEL 106.1, I used to wake up to Michael Jackson, TLC, Sir-Mix-Alot, Mary J. Blige, the Looniez, etc., etc. I can't believe the lyrics I was singing at 10... I used it through college (when I developed a bad snoozing habit), and until I was a married woman. I was pretty devastated when it broke. I replaced it with some CD-playing dud which lasted only a year or two, and then my husband and I both got the updated Dream Machine with double alarm functions. Though we still use our iPhone alarms, we really love the Dream Machines and I hope they last as long as my original did.

SO sad to hear that it's been discontinued! What will hotels use instead?!?

haha, I have this clock under my bed. I have tried to trash it a couple time and just cant! it is the perfect back-up alarm clock!!!

I have a later one, probably vintage mid 90's that is starting to yellow but still works awesome. I had some other alarm clocks over the years that had failed to wake me from my slumber (and I'm a pretty deep sleeper) but this one always works.

I still have to set it to go off 27 minutes early so I can hit snooze three times though.

OMG, I still have mine too. I got it in the mid '80s. It's yellowing now but it still works! :) I hit the snooze button once. Perfect!

My dream Machine and I are growing old together...I've had it since the late 1980's. It's the only electronic device I that I'm still using from this era and I am amazed! It still works just fine:)
