Summary: poor volume control 2008-10-29
Comment: I've had this clock over a year and while it has many nice features, it really fails on the basics. The volume is either inaudible or full blast. The FM tuner is also very weak. I called Emerson but they refursed to help me. I would not buy another Emerson branded product. For $30 I expect a product to last longer than the 90 day warranty!

Summary: It was great........ 2008-10-26
Comment: It was great until like all have said the Day Light Savings change and now I see they are "out of stock" on Amazon. Hmmm? I've heard so many different things to change this, but it comes down to me changing my clock an hour ahead or behind the night of DLS. I bought 3 for the family to use, now I have to change it every time for my mother, thanks Emerson!

Summary: Pretty worthless in Arizona 2008-08-17
Comment: I think that they should state on the outside of the box the information about Arizona (and other areas) that do not observe DST. Thus, with this clock, we are required to reset the clock whenever DST goes in or out. I bought it for the power failure reset feature (not the DST feature).
I purchased this clock because it has "Smart Set." I guess it's not too smart if I need to reset it when we don't even observe DST. Why wouldn't you have a "non-DST" time zone in the unit? Luckily I can return this unit easily. Great concept, just a tad weak in your execution--don't they ever give this to a consumer to try before they market it??.

Summary: Avoid this if you live in a DST area of the country 2008-03-12
Comment: If you happen to live in a DST area, I would avoid this product if you expect it to automatically adjust when most of the country switches to daylight savings.
The product manual states that all "Daylight Savings and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically by the SmartSet internal computer." The Start of Daylight Savings Time is to be 1:59:49 AM on the first Sunday in April. The End of Daylight Savings Time is to be 2:59:59 AM on the last Sunday in October.
Those dates no longer apply to the new daylight savings standard, so I would recommend looking elsewhere if you desire a clock that can work with the new daylight savings dates.

Summary: This is a great clock 2007-12-14
Comment: 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.
