Product Review

With Emerson’s award-winning and patented SmartSet technology, the flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past. On the first use of the CKD5811 Digital Tuning CD Clock Radio, it immediately sets itself to the correct year, month, date, day, and time in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone you make a simple, one-time adjustment to select your own zone. It also adjusts itself automatically for Daylight Saving Time and Leap Year. This clock radio features a bright blue LED display, with dimmer control. The dual alarm system allows you to program both alarms to operate on weekdays only, weekends only, or all seven days. Wake to your favorite music station, morning news, the buzzer or to your favorite CD. You can even select the specific track that you want to wake up to. Set the Nap Timer buzzer alarm to wake you from a nap of up to 99 minutes without having to change your normal alarm settings. The CKD5811 allows you to program up to 10 AM and 10 FM stations and 20 CD-tracks with a single track and all tracks repeat playback. The clock radio features a long-life lithium back-up battery that will back-up for as long as 5 to 8 years.

This review is from: Emerson CKD5811 SmartSet Digital Tuning CD-R/RW Stereo Clock Radio with Touchless Snooze Control (Silver) (Electronics)
My old GE AM/FM/cassette clock radio finally died so looked online and in stores for a replacement without much luck. I had only 3 requirements: dual alarm, battery back-up and CD player (I have a Toshiba Gigabeat mp3 player so an ipod dock is useless to me). Most clock radios that met my needs cost $100 or more or were flea market brands that I knew nothing about. Then I found the Emerson Research CKD5811. This thing is damn near perfect! Not only does it have dual alarms, you can set each one for weekdays only, weekends only or everyday. And it also has a nap timer. Not only does it have battery back-up, it has a pre-installed lithium battery for the SmartSet time/date/day of the week functions and a 9 volt battery connection for the radio/buzzer/CD functions. Not only does it have a CD player, it plays CD-R/RWs and it actually sounds pretty good. You won't mistake it for an expensive home audio system, but for a clock radio, it's not bad at all. And on top of all that, it only...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible and should be considered false advertising, December 1, 2008

This review is from: Emerson CKD5811 SmartSet Digital Tuning CD-R/RW Stereo Clock Radio with Touchless Snooze Control (Silver) (Electronics)
Don't buy it for the CD player functionality. The first one I had stopped playing CDs after 2 weeks, I managed to get the store to exchange it, but with the second one the lithium battery died after 2 weeks and the buttons have stopped working at times. As well every few days it won't play a CD again so you have to turn it off, turn it on, then keep pressing stop/play until it decides to start playing.

Unfortunately I bought it from a liquidator so I can't return it, I would if I could. Do yourself a favor and avoid the Emerson CKD5811.

Is it false advertising? The clock does not "set itself" as they claim, it just has a battery backup. The description of the Smartset feature and the light show when you plug it in all imply that it is setting itself, similar to how a some "atomic" clocks do by using a radio signal that has a time signal. It doesn't do that, it just has a battery that keeps the clock running when it is not plugged in.

The description...Read more

This item has poor quality. I bought it about two years. The CD player does not work. The turn on/off button does not work.
