Emerson SmartSet Alarm Clock Radio with Bluetooth - CKS1521

This little radio with no antenna puts fancy radios with antennas to shame. Emerson you rock--great sound, no static, easy to set up, unbelievable value, select your time zone and voila, it sets the time and day for you, including leap years.

Wish bottom of clock radio would be flat like top, instead of having four short legs, because it slightly rocks back and forth when touching the controls on the top of the clock radio.

I have purchased numerous radio alarms and have donated just as many. Easy to set up. Buttons are all easy to access. Antenna is in the cord which illuminates that useless antenna wire. Radio has great reception and very happy with the volume. I would love one in every room.

The good: For the money spent, I like this clock radio and think it's a good value. The alarm is plenty loud enough and adjustable. Display light is adjustable and dim or bright enough to satisfy any "rational %26 sensible" customer. It's not a Boss radio so don't think you're getting that kind of sound quality. If you want entertainment sound, spend some more money. This unit has lots of options and features. Even has a little night light feature that shines from the bottom of radio. I like the auto dimmer for display which is based on if your room is bright or dark and adjusts accordingly. Oh, and the radio reception is just fine if you don't expect to get stations from 3000 miles away. Again, reasonable expectations for a inexpensive clock/radio. Needs Improvement: I don't like the smaller buttons for on/off and alarm setting. They are too close together physically and in size. I sometimes hit the wrong button in the morning to shut off the alarm. Making the on/off button larger, textured or raised in profile would fix the problem.

compact, strong tuning, good sound, extra LED night light, able to setup an extra bluetooth speaker for great symphany, works with time control good price point.

Beautiful alarm clock with lots of features for a great price. Orange digits are very pleasant at night and works as a nice external speaker. Only drawback is alarm isn't as loud as my old clock.

I've had 2 Emerson smartset clocks in the past, both of those worked well. This clock is 2 minutes off compared to my mobile phone and cable box. Seriously concerning returning it.

The alarm is not loud enough. The bell is more like a discrete chirp. I have to use it as a radio to get adequate volume. The settings are a bit difficult at first but once you learn it, it is OK. This item is attractive, does not take up much space. Overall, I am satisfied.

no directions were included with this alarm clock. I mailed it to my brother in Missouri and he received today. he is getting so very frustrated because he can't get it to work.

I am unable to set this clock at all. There are 36 different selections( ok I fibbed on the exact number) to make this radio clock work. I am old.... over 50...... maybe a little more.... but I cannot get to the point of setting the time much less choosing the radio stations... YIKES. It is going back to Orion..where it was born.
