Digital camera reviews of Emerson CKS3029 AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Automatic Time Setting System
Digital camera Review: Digital Clock that can't tell time
Summary: 1 Stars
As one other reviewer noted, this clock runs fast. In my case, at the end of every week it is about 4-5 minutes fast. I'm about to chuck it for a non-Emerson product.
Avoid at all costs; you won't have the time.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had nothing but trobule with is clock. I dont loss power very often but this clock does. Or it losses time. I looked forever for the battery No body caries it. I had to go to a batttery speciltiy store. Replaced the battery and that was no help, still turning off.Digital camera Review: Emerson Research Clock
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so excited when I first got this clock. It was amazing! I've now had my clock 3 months or so & the digital numbers are barely readable. I am so upset! I've replaced the battery & that didn't help. I guess I'll be buying a new clock soon and it won't be an Emerson Research!Digital camera Review: Good clock radio, not "atomic"
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this clock/radio because I thought that it was an "atomic" clock. An atomic clock (or watch) is a clock that sets its time automatically by monitoring the WWVB clock signal transmitted by the NIST atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. In other words, a true atomic clock/radio would never need setting, would never need to be adjusted for daylight savings time, and would always display the accurate time.
The Emerson CKS3029 Clock Radio is a regular clock radio with a battery-backed up memory. When you unplug the clock (or when there's a power outage), the battery keeps the clock portion powered (there's no display). When power is restored, the time is "reprogrammed" by the internal clock. Once the internal battery dies (it supposedly lasts 3-5 years) and there is a power outage, the clock will lose its settings and must be manually set!
Unlike other non-atomic clock radios (the GE 74894 comes to mind), this one DOES self-adjust for daylight savings time and leap years which is nice.
The clock radio seems to be very well made and has some really nice features including a display dimmer, weekend and/or non-weekend alarms (dual alarms), a nice large snooze button, and day-of-week indicators. The radio sounds a bit "tinny" and cheap, but this is a clock radio and not a boombox.
In summary, if you're looking for a genuine atomic clock radio, steer clear of this product. If you're looking for a clock radio that can ride out power outages without losing track of the time, and a radio with lots of nice features, then I'd recommend this one.
Digital camera Review: Good concept but bad quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this item because it features "smart-set", which means that the clock radio automatic sets the time and date when plug in power. However after about a week, the radio decides to turn itself on. Even when I turned it off, it will turn itself on after some random intervals (30 sec - 5 minutes). So I will have to return this to Target.
