Emerson E04886 - Set of Two Emerson SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radiosw/SureAla

The definition of reliable. These ultra-convenient SmartSet alarm clock radios automatically set themselves to the correct year, month, date, day, and time as soon as you plug them in. But best of all, the Sure Alarm battery backup system ensures you're up on time, even if there's been a power outage. From Emerson.

"This product is good for convenience and I love the ability to program two different alarm times. It also is great when the power goes out. I only have one left because one quit working for some reason shortly after I bought it. The price was great for the quality and you can have matching alarm clocks in the bedroom. Overall I like it."

"We received these clocks and as soon as my husband plugged them in he found problems. Wrong year on the one that worked. The other doesn't work at all. They, of course, can't just replace one so they are going back."

"I PURCHASED THESE CLOCKS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY WORK REALLY WELL. MY MOM HAS ONE AND I HAVE ONE IN MY ROOM. THEY WERE REALLY EASY TO SET UP, ALL YOU DO IS TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BOX AND SET YOUR TIME ZONE AND THE CLOCK DOES THE REST OF THE WORK FOR YOU. THEY WERE A GREAT VALUE FOR 2 OF THEM. THANK YOU EMERSON AND QVC FOR BRINGING US A GREAT PRODUCT. I LIKE HOW THEY HAVE A VERY EASY TO READ DIGITAL DISPLAY AND THESE CLOCKS ARE MUCH EASIER TO OPERATE THE 2 ALARMS AND THE RADIO FUNCTIONS. I WOULD RECCOMEND THESE CLOCKS TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A DEPENDABLE ALARM CLOCK AND EASY TO USE."

"One clock was set for the yr 2006 & the other for 2005, both set for Jan 3rd. I reset date & time but could not reset the year. Emerson said they probably were set wrong at the factory & they were going to send me a new battery for one of the clocks, but since I couldn't change the year (which also means the day is off) what's the point!! Clocks are going back."

"Took them out of the box and plugged them in. Both were off by 5 minutes or so, in different directions! HUH? So, read the instructions and found that they say "if they are off, set manually and they will be reset to that time thereafter". Sure 'nuf. I set them both to correct time, unplugged, replugged, and they were correct. OK, Not exactly as described on TV but they're working OK now. Probably wouldn't give as a gift on the strength (or lack thereof) of the reviews."

"Opened box, plugged in...and the clock was wrong by three minutes compared to my cable and computer clocks and an older SmartSet. How can this be. didn't bother checking the second one and am returning both. Was hoping to upgrade from my older SmartSet to get one based on the new time changes, but guess this isn't going to be the one. How can the time be wrong!"

"I read the reviews on these clocks before purchasing them, but I decided to try them because with QVC I could return them. Our electricity goes off at least 3 to 4 times each week so these clocks have been great, they reset themselves. I have had them for a few weeks and they work as advertised. Very pleased with purchase just wish my microwave and oven clocks would do the same."

"I have purchased from QVC other Emerson clocks that are very similar to these and they were fine. The price was good but only one clock was functional. As expected QVC took care of the problem, but I was disappointed not to have the 2 clocks."

"This is my fourth purchased of these fantastic alarm clock radios. I purchased the original one that was shown on QVC years, ago. Then I gave both my daughters and granddaughter one for Christmas in 2005. Everyone loves the feature where the clock reset after a power outage. Plus when you plug it into the wall socket for the first time everything is set for you. I will purchase another in the future for other family members and friends."

"I really hope that QVC reads these reviews. I usually only send good review but, I felt that I needed to let people know my experience. I am happy to report that one of my clocks works. But like a lot of the reviewers my second clock didn't work at all. I got it out of the box plugged it in and nothing....I jiggled the cord, pushed the buttons and it still will not work. This seems to be a problem that I hope will be addressed and resolved. Thank you for reading this."

"When I opened the first box, it looked like it had possibly already been used (the cord was not neatly folded up). I plugged it in anyhow, and nothing happened. Also, the low battery light was already on. I returned it without a problem, and I asked QVC to reimburse me for the shipping costs since the product was defective. They did, but it was just frustrating to have to re-package it and send it back."

"I opened the box and plugged in the first clock and it did nothing. I had read that some people needed to hand set the clock, so I got the second clock out of the box and plugged it in. The second clock started right up. I checked the first clock and there was no power to it at all. None of the buttons nor the radio worked. I called Emerson and they said that it wasn't functioning and to send it back to QVC. I asked them if they checked the clocks before they went out and he said that they do random checks, but sometimes unworking items get through."
