Numbers disappearing 
2008-07-18
Purchased in December 2007, and in less than 6 months have lost the top half of the first digit (top half of the one), and the middle horizontal bar on the second digit (think of an 8 without the center bar). It still tells the appropriate time, if your mind fills in the missing bar. I've had digital clocks for years and never had this happen before. If another bar disappears I will probably replace... not with an Emerson product.
Wake up to static 2008-05-29
I was originally very happy with the product but after about 9 months I found myself waking up to unpleasant static in either the radio or alarm mode. I went to the manufacturer's web site for warranty information and found that they required it to be shipped in the original box, have the original copy of the warranty and a receipt. I only had the receipt, courtesy of Amazon. The web site also did not provide the address to return the product to.
Clock radio 
2008-04-12
This clock radio is the BOMB...I love it!!! When you plug it in...if you are on the East coast, it sets itself automatically to the present time. You don't have to do anything!! If you are elsewhere on the planet you have to set it with your time zone...it has a radio to wake or a buzzer...if you use the buzzer to wake and want to snooze, you just wave your hand and the snooze activates...really cool!! There's so much more...you have to check it out yourself...if you're in the market, it's my pick!!
Easy to use, easy to see 2008-02-12
The extra large numbers are easy to see. The two completely independent alarms are easy to set. Overall, this is everything I was looking for in an alarm clock.
CLOCK 2008-02-09
This clock must have been sitting on the shelf for more than 3 years. When it arrived it would not reset. A call to Emerson revealed the battery (last 3 years ) was dead. I had to buy a new battery (5.95 at radio shack). Then it worked fine. I'm really soured on Amazon

poor radio 2007-12-03
I currently have an old Emerson Research that does not adjust to daylight saving time since Congress changed the dates and I was looking to upgrade. I returned this item because I could not tune the radio station that I have listened to for over 25 years. I will stick with the older model that allows me to hear the radio station that I like.
I would have rated the item zero stars but the web site would not allow me to do that.
good value 
2007-12-02
This seems like a good value so far. I haven't used the alarms yet, but the radio sounds adequate (for talk radio) and the two-setting switch for dimming works fine. I find the lower setting too low for our daylit room, but the bright setting works fine all the time for me. The buttons seem sturdy enough. It is slightly cumbersome to do the settings, but heck I don't change them very often so it's not a big deal at all. Definitely easy to read display and a good compact product.
Great for the Price 2007-10-14
I didn't even realize this is an "atomic" clock, until it set itself almost immediately when I plugged it in. Got this for my son, so can go to sleep to music. He had no problem learning the controls as a 10 year old. Nice big number display as well.
Slow 
2007-08-22
This seems to be a good product with one exception. Its sets the time four minutes slow. You can adjust the time to the correct time so what good is the built in timer?
