Emerson E04989 - Emerson SmartSet Black Jumbo Display Dual Alarm Clock Radio
Waking up on time just got easier. The SmartSet alarm clock automatically sets itself when plugged in, then keeps the correct time--even adjusting for leap year and daylight savings. Infrared snooze control lets you grab a few extra minutes without even touching a button, while the large, red LED display is extremely viewable, even with tired eyes. From Emerson.

"This is a great product, in particular the area I live in seems to have numerous short power outages, just enough to mess up all the clocks and electronics in the house. I have had difficulty in setting the alarm in that I cannot get the buttons on the left hand side of the clock to depress, I am afraid to get too rough with the clock in setting the alarms because I don't want to break it. I probably should have returned the product for a replacement but I didn't. Other than that this is a convenient clock in that it resets itself.

"Bought this item fer my boyfriend he luves it, pretty loud it wakes him up and he listens to the radio all the time, the best thing about this clock radio is that when he wants to move it to the living room to sleep on the couch, so he won't wake me he can move it and not have to fuss with setting the time does it automatically..Great buy, worth every penny..."

"Have the old version and loved it until the time change ...changed. So I ordered 3 of these for Christmas gifts 2008 ( that change time the new version). The batteries in all three were dead. I called Emerson and they sent me replacements, free of charge. So glad I didn't have to go to the trouble of sending them back. Now they work great. I would recommend them when they have working batteries."

"I have had 2 auto set clock in the past and they didn't work. I need a dual alarm and a red display (tired of being blinded by displays). Plugged this clock in and it set itself in probably 3 seconds. Time and day were correct, I was amazed and happy.
I love the touchless snooze feature, no more turning the alarm off by mistake.
Great clock, great display large and doesn't blind you and light up the room."

LOVE THIS CLOCK!!!

"I love this clock!! I sleep really hard sometimes and have been known to hit the wrong buttons on my alarm clock and turn it off when I think I'm hitting the snooze button. With this one (only when you set the buzzer, not the radio) all I have to do is wave my hand across the face of it, and it goes into snooze mode! By not having to touch the clock, I no longer turn it off by mistake.
I read somebody's comment that said this clock isn't up to date on which dates to change for Daylight Saving Time; mine changed right on time, first Sunday in November, and the box says it will change again the second Sunday in March.
I bought the previous version of this clock last November, but I'm much happier with this one. The radio sounds better, and the buttons are easier to press down. I don't know if my other clock was defective, but I had to press really hard to keep the numbers moving when setting the alarms. A change to this version that I DON'T like is that there's now a little red light that lights up BENEATH the names of the days of the week which are printed way down at the bottom of the clock face to let you know what day it is. That's a really worthless feature if it's dark in the room because you can't read the days of the week, so it's like that little red light is pointing to nothing. The previous version had the names of the days of the week light up so that you could read them in the dark. Also, the buzzer on this one isn't quite as loud as the last one. I like the way it starts out soft and then raises in volume, but they really should have made it louder for people who sleep soundly.
All in all, though, I really like this clock. It is so wonderful to know that it will always wake me up on time even if the power goes out during the night. It resets itself just as advertised. The question below that asks "Who would this be a perfect gift for?" should have a response to select that says "Everyone!"."

"I see the bad reviews on this clock. I have purchased over the years 2 of the older version and just recently this particular one. My original clock lasted me 5 years. Well worth the money. I have had this clock now about three months and love it. I would recommend it to anyone. LOVE not having to worry about time change and security of knowing your alarm will work even without power. They are great clocks and well worth the Money. The radio is great too!"

"After thoroughly reading the instructions, I plugged it in and nothing happened. Even left it plugged it in for a while in case it needed to warm up. Then ran around plugging it in to other outlets just to make sure. Nada. Had bought this basically for the oversized numbers, though all the other features seemed like great extras. Will be returning it."

"I have never purchased a clock radio that doesn't work. The alarm consistently fails to go off. This is not a good buy. I wonder how much it will cost to repair it. My reccommendation is--don't buy it to begin with."

"I LOVE my clocks. I bought one for both myself and my husband from QVC last Christmas. I also bought two as gifts to give away. The receivers of those clocks have since bought them for people they know. These clocks are worry free. They make such a great gift. I am buying one for my 16 year old son so that he can't use the excuse that the alarm clock didn't go off!"

Disappointed with this purchase

"I purchased 2 of these radios. It runs 2 minutes slow. It needs a handle to pick it up. I don't sleep very well, so I use the sleep feature just about every night and if you want to change the station I usually hit the snooze everytime--so a handle would be helpful. It is very difficult to change the stations because the wheel does not extend out to be able to get it to move to another station. The speakers need to be on the sides of the radio. Being in the back makes it difficult to hear the radio. It is a good looking radio, but does have some flaws!"

"I love this clock! There's a lot of construction in my neighborhood, and every time my lights flicker, my clocks need reset...but not this clock. I agree that if you read and follow the instructions you should have no problem with the clock. I also appreciate the big display--I don't have to put my glasses on to see the numbers!"

"I just received this clock, and it will not automatically set to the correct time. It's always 7 minutes slow, no matter how many times I unplugged and replugged it. It's no wonder that it was being sold for a special holiday price (less than $17 when I purchased it) - it is not accurate. I'm glad that I did not purchase this as a gift."

"I purchased the Emerson alarm clock radio because of the Smartset feature, and of course that no longer works because of the recent change to the daylight savings time, and there is no way to adjust it to the new time. The big disapointment is the radio, on mine I can not adjust the volume, it is either really loud or nothing, I try to just barely move the dial and it goes from no sound to blasting. I would not purchase again."

IF YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS ITS A GREAT LITTLE CLOC

"Ok I went ahead and got this clock even after the bad reviews. I figured I would take a chance it was not a lot of money and if it did not work I could send it back. Mine works fine and I think it would work for a lot of people if you actually read the instructions. Most of the people who said it no longer adjusts to daylight savings time had their clock before the new laws went into effect. There was even a notice in my box about it because the dates for daylight savings time changed last year. There is also a note that depending on how long the unit has been in the warehouse it is prossible a battery may be low. This happens even in stores because merchandise only moves so quickly. Those seemed to be the main complaints I saw so I am glad I took the chance. Now I will admit the buzzer alarm is not very loud but nothing wakes me up easily so I just use the radio. I had one clock that could wake the dead that still did not always work for me so that should tell you something. Bottom line the buzzer is pretty quiet but if you are like me wake to the radio. Its a wonderful clock with super features so try it and read the directions and all will be well."

"I purchased an older model from QVC and since daylight savings time has changed, I have to change the time back to the time it is now,since it changes automatically a week early! There should be a way to adjust the time change.
Other than that, it works ok."
