Good clock, ok radio,
March 5, 2005 Person "qazwsx34651" (across the street) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emerson CK5250 Dual Alarm Clock Radio (Silver) (Electronics)
Pros:
- The time on the clock is easy to set and use.
- The clock is easy to see with the bright time option.
- The alarm can actually go off even if the batteries are dead. However, this only works with battery power.
- Very durable. Dropped it from a bunk-bed about 10 times, and still no defects.
- Nap setting is a great future of the alarm clock.
Cons:
- The alarm sound is kind of quiet and inconsistent. Both two alarms are quite quiet, and are just small beeps that are 1 1/2 seconds apart.
- The radio quality is poor. It's hard to get even some local stations to work correctly.
- The speaker is very poor. The sound on the radio disorts a lot.
BOTTOMLINE: If you're looking for a cheap yet durable alarm clock with a radio you're not gonna use often, this one is a perfect pick. If you're expecting a lot from the radio, I'd look elsewhere. Otherwise, great alarm clock!

Completely Unreliable,
June 22, 2005 Bene Breadstick "da elctronicz dude" (In A Place That I Can't Imagine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emerson CK5250 Dual Alarm Clock Radio (Silver) (Electronics)
I do agree that this alarm clock has many features, like an AM/FM tuner, a double alarm, and a bright display.
But it is very unreliable with its alarms. It did work fine in the 9 months I owned it; then things started to happen.
Five months - The radio quality seem to drop A LOT! Many stations refused to come in, and it made it almost unusable.
Six months - The bright display was much darker when I first bought it. I had a hard time reading the time due to this.
Nine months (THE FINAL STRAW) - The alarm would not go off at some times. In a month, six alarms did not go off, and I was way behind my day. And to make matters worse, the alarm would go off at random times; in one time it went off at 1:00 AM, and that was awful.
The CK5250 has a few nice features, but it's not durable. Unrecommended.
Easy to use Clock Radio,

This clock is easy to use and it's particularly easy to set either alarm. It keeps perfect time even when there is a power failure or the clock is unplugged from the wall.
