Screams for an external antenna [Posted on 2007-01-05]
Device is chock-full of neat features, like the built in back up battery, the self-setting clock, the preset radio stations and digital tuner, and the heat-sensitive snooze button that lets you just wave your hand in front of the display rather than whacking random buttons until silence is restored.
The sound quality is respectable.
The greatest trouble I have is with getting a clear radio signal, AM or FM. You can the alarm at night and have excellent clarity while your hand is on the device, but when it goes off in the morning and you are two feet away, prepare for an earful of static. I should add that I live in a one-story single-family home - so I'm not in a huge metal building - other radios I own with external antennae have excellent reception.
Buyer beware: no quality control? [Posted on 2007-01-08]
I purchased 3 of these units and had to return each as they emitted a loud 60-cycle hum when turned on, with or without an iPod connected. Evidently Emerson doesn't check these things before they leave the factory. So: buyer beware!
Without the hum, this might have been an OK unit, except for the excessively bright digital display, with no way to turn it down.
Piece of Junk--Beware! [Posted on 2007-05-17]
I've had two of these. The first one died after a few months. The second one lasted about a week. The time is now showing a constant 32:50, whatever that might be. The second unit hummed quite loudly while playing music, and the display is too bright even on its dimmest setting. You can use it as a nightlight. I hate these and wish I still had the box so I could take it back. Not recommened at all!
Loses correct time [Posted on 2007-08-27]
I bought this item and was pleased with it the first two weeks. Then I noticed the time was wrong one day. I thought maybe the power went out, but hey!! isn't this supposed to reset time itself? I ignored, changed it to correct time and about a week and a half later it did the same thing. It was about 45 minutes off. Changed the time back again, then a couple of weeks later, same thing, it was an hour behind. I am exchanging it today for an iHome which is what I wanted in the first place. If it can not keep time and wake me up at the right time for school, what good is it?
Not bad [Posted on 2008-06-13]
Looks great and sounds great and the remote is really nice, but sometimes the alarm does not go off. We haven't been able to determine why--it just doesn't go. I wouldn't rely on this as your primary alarm clock.
