    Emerson CKS1800 SmartSet Alarm Clock Radio with AM/FM Radio, Dimmer, Sleep Timer and .9" LED Display, CKS1800

    • On the plus side, it has a clear and large time read out and for a value priced clock radio, it is loaded with features.
    • On several occasions the clock would reset itself and hour earlier than the correct time resulting in getting up an hour to early.
    • time(zone 1) for it to have the correct time.
    • It is essy to operate and always has the correct time.
    • Alarm time setting both up and downbattery backup for power failure (See con below)"dim" clock brightness setting low enough to not disturb sleeperautomatically corrects clock for daylight savings switchescomes pre-set with correct time (Eastern) and date - easy to change time zones between Atlantic time and Hawaiian time
    • Keeps great time, especially through power interrupts.
    • Sets to the right time
    • Have not used the alarm functions but setting the time was a breeze because the radio/clock sets itself to the correct time when it is plugged in to an electrical outlet.
    • I had a hard time finding a clock radio that wasn't huge and bright
    • After a few days the clock was about 8 minutes behind the correct time
    • I do not work the same time so the alarm is of no use to
    • Luckily I had a CR2032 battery because the time was wrong and the battery LED was flashing when first plugged in
    • I could not get them back to the correct time until I set every one of them manually!!
    • After 1 week, the unit stopped displaying the correct time
    • LOVE the automatic time setting.
    • Luckily I had a CR2032 battery because the time was wrong and the battery LED was flashing when first plugged in
    • Cant see the time very dim called themOnly thing is send it
    • 5-minutes… though the date was correct which likely means it looses time
    • I had the worse time with
    • Clock set up easily and, as stated, set itself to the correct time
    • Main dislike & reason for low rating is radio alarm comes on level 7 EVERY time regardless of what previous volume was set to
    • I have emailed the tech support ever time it jumps time zones.
    • Followed instructions, but completely wrong time appears
    • Came with clear and easy instructions to change to another time zone, which worked perfectly!
    • A bonus is that the time isn't too bright (a problem on all my other clocks) with so many things giving off blue light, a known sleep disruption I was thrilled when I plugged this in.
    • The time and date sets itself but the time was wrong
    • the automatic time and date feature looks like magic the first time...until it goes crazy :(
    • The clock keeps excellent time and does remember your settings if there is a power outage
    • Very nice: TIME for a change from my old clock radio!
    • This clock worked only for 1 month & now the time is always incorrect
    • I unplugged it and plugged it back in hoping to reset to the correct time but had no luck
    • the description states "Patented SmartSet Automatic Time Setting System" that is intended to set and/or maintain the correct time when first plugged in or after a power interruption... which we have frequently out here in the boonies
    • The automatic time setting is suspect as to get the correct time in Phoenix (MST
    • keep showing the wrong time.
    • The clock intermittently displays the wrong time and has to be reset.
    • the clock ownly has ET Ttime on it so if you don't live in the et time zone it will not work.
    • I have more than one issue with this clock that was to replace a digital clock from the 1980’s that started gaining time a few weeks ago
    • Keeps great time; if the power goes off, which it has, these clocks keeps the time.
    • it is "for dummies" easy to set the correct time
    • For the price, to get an alarm clock that holds time pretty well (36 seconds fast after maybe 6 weeks), has individual weekday settings for the dual alarms, and is programmed to adjust for daylight savings time, this is a good value.
    • Not just with the correct time, but correct date.
    • Does not automatically set to correct time
    • I have to change time zones to get the right time again, then do it again a week later.
    • If you don't know why a SmartSet is the best clock on the market, IMO it's because the alarm'll not only still go off if the power is out, but it'll tell you the correct time when the power comes back on
    • I had to manually set it to the right time
    • another bad deal.within the time it took me to set up this clock radio the first number in the display went out and some times came back on when i tapped on the case.mostly stayed out
    • send first one back because a loud alarm would sound at odd times
    • but I would NOT recommend this product to anyone who wants accurate time.
    • I had to adjust the time because for some reason it was 3h ahead, but I read the instruction and took me 10 seconds to set it to the right time
    • Still, for a clock that is supposed to just know the correct time
    • I will give this 3 stars because it does keep good time
    • Nice little clock radio that adjusts to correct time by its self.
    • Great value & performance, sets time automatically, DST or regular time, easy to read screen, simple & no confusung instructions
    • Out of the box it set itself to the correct time and date automatically, but it needs a brighter display.
    • Plug it in correct time pops up.
    • excellent shipping e perience.
