Digital camera reviews of Emerson CKS3029 AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Automatic Time Setting System
Digital camera Review: So far, decent alarm clock radio, nice features
Summary: 5 Stars
My mom was actually the first to purchase this radio. She got it because she didn't have to set it, a big task with her. And, living outside of town, power goes out a few times a year with storms, even better to have a smartset radio. So when My birthday came along, she bought me one. Unfortunately, the factory battery was dead in my radio, but I replaced it and the clock keeps time, and resets itself when tested. great alarm features, 2 alarms able to set them for different days of the week if preferred. Note, these are not atomic clocks, if the battery dies completely without being replaced, the clock will reset to 1200. These were set at the factory, and the little lithium battery (2430) keeps them active. I like the clock, works well, and the radio is decent as well. Check it out.
Digital camera Review: This is a great clock
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this clock for two years, and bought one for my mother as well.
My power went off in the middle of the night last night, and I fell asleep peacefully after reminding myself that the clock would keep my alarm settings and reset itself when the power was restored. It was, and the Emerson clock woke me up on schedule. I used to have alarm failures constantly, but with dual weekend and weekday alarms, I haven't had to change a thing, and power blips (which we have constantly here) have never caused me to worry. This is a great product-- I only wish the smart set technology was in my coffee maker too.
Digital camera Review: Wonderful Clock
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had our Smart Set Dual alarm for about 2 years. It is great. My husband has his alarm set for M-F wake up time and for Saturday and Sunday wake up time. I have only M-F set.
Today, following a night of storms and power outages, I was one of the few people not late to school as the Smart Set reset itself each time the power went off. The power went off again about the time my husband's alarm should have gone off - the backup battery was up and running and the alarms each went off at the correct time.
I have bought this alarm as gifts for several people and recommend it to everyone who needs an alarm.
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.
