Emerson CKS9051 SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radio

After days of researching, I finally found the best alarm clock for me and my wife! We are so happy with what we found.

I can't say anything bad about this alarm clock, it got everything we are looking for:
- Weekday\weekend\everyday alarms function for each of its 2 alarm. We set up alarm 1 @ 6a.m. on weekdays (for me), alarm 2 @ 7:30a.m. (for her) on weekdays, therefore no alarm on the weekend. We don't have to wake up by the alarm clock Sat. @ 6a.m ever again.
- Individual setting for each alarm wake up to a gradual buzz or radio.
- The clock has a high/low light setting. If you think the display is too bright, set it to low.
- The display is very clear, showing time and day of week.
- The radio is very clear compare to our existing radio alarm clock.
- The most amazing thing is that the clock will reset itself to the correct time in the event of a power outage. The alarm will preserve the alarms' settings. So in case of a power...Read more

I've had the same alarm clock for 20 years! I finally had to get a new one I could see at night w/o my glasses. The 1.4" display is fabulous! I bought the CKS9031, with the blue display not orange. I chose this model because it seemed the sturdiest. The others available at Wal-Mart seemed too fragile or would easily tip over. This unit is super easy to set up. It truly does pick up the time/date immediately when plugged in. I love the fact that I never have to remember to switch on my alarm again once it is set. The blue display is gentle on the eyes even on the darkest night with the dimmer set to low. The snooze button is right on top, in front, within easy reach. Mine didn't come with the manual (it was missing from the box), it is easy and intuitive to set up alarms and the radio is digitally tuned. I think a few people are going to get this clock for Christmas. If you need a reliable, worry free alarm clock, this is definately the one!

This dual-alarm clock is perfect for my mother. She is in a retirement home and has to go to Health Care to take her medicine four times during the day. Lately, she hasn't been remembering when to go and she can no longer remember how to use the phone message machine - so she misses getting her medicine or gets it at the wrong time. The clock defaults to the correct date and time for the Eastern time zone (and can be set to another time zone) and adjusts itself automatically for the new daylight savings time changes. The alarms were very easy to set up. Now all she needs to know is to press either or both of the two buttons on the right (alarm1 and alarm2). Pushing the wrong button doesn't do any harm. I also like the way the audio alarm start out low and builds in volume. I ordered more of these - a second one for her so I can cover all four alarm times and two for me so I can have them at my house when she stays over. The display is great (you can dim it if you want) and the price...Read more
