Digital camera reviews of Emerson CKS2235SB Jumbo Display Dual-Alarm Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology (Silver)
Digital camera Review: Slow
Summary: 3 Stars
This seems to be a good product with one exception. Its sets the time four minutes slow. You can adjust the time to the correct time so what good is the built in timer?Digital camera Review: Wake up to static
Summary: 1 Stars
I was originally very happy with the product but after about 9 months I found myself waking up to unpleasant static in either the radio or alarm mode. I went to the manufacturer's web site for warranty information and found that they required it to be shipped in the original box, have the original copy of the warranty and a receipt. I only had the receipt, courtesy of Amazon. The web site also did not provide the address to return the product to.Digital camera Review: What more could you want in a clock radio alarm system?
Summary: 5 Stars
This clock has it all. It knows the time and time zone, changes automatically for daylight savings time and back, has two alarms and alarms for week days and weekends. I can see the time at night without my glasses on. It even keeps working and does not need to be reprogrammed when we lose electricity. What more could you want in a clock radio alarm system?Digital camera Review: good value
Summary: 4 Stars
This seems like a good value so far. I haven't used the alarms yet, but the radio sounds adequate (for talk radio) and the two-setting switch for dimming works fine. I find the lower setting too low for our daylit room, but the bright setting works fine all the time for me. The buttons seem sturdy enough. It is slightly cumbersome to do the settings, but heck I don't change them very often so it's not a big deal at all. Definitely easy to read display and a good compact product.Digital camera Review: great clock, will work well for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this clock as a gift, and could care less whether it sets itself or not, I've been setting clocks since I could walk, not a big deal. Most older clocks have battery back ups, so this is not a new feature.
The thing that makes this clock worth the price even without the smart set is the alarm settings. Dual alarm, and can be set for weekdays, weekends, and a couple other settings. So if you are like me, and have different schedules on the weekends you can set one for the weekdays, and one for weekends. bright display, suprisingly good sound, a good everyday clock, worth the price, whether it sets itself or not. Setting itself is a nice feature though. As many others have explained, this is not an atomic clock, nor does it advertise itself to be. Yes, it is a "Self Setting" Clock, pre-set at the factory defaulted to Eastern Standard time in the USA (Mine was 2 minutes behind my actual atomic clock). The set up is easy enough, plug it in, it set's itself, then press the time zone up or down for the time zone you are in, then forget about it for several years. This new version does have the correction for New daylight savings time settings (2007 versions). Again, check this out, even my mother (who is technologically challenged) loves this clock.
