Review on Emerson CKS1800 SmartSet Radio Display by Ryan Brady

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too sophisticated product, too complicated for me.

I bought two of these, one fires at 8am and the other fires at 3pm. The 8am alarm goes off in my office and I just turn it off, but another alarm goes off in the garage at 3pm every day and plays until I get there. I have no idea how to change the alarm time and the instructions are useless. I've given up tuning stations so I just press the up and down tuning buttons on the station. I would like. The tuning buttons stop up and down at each station, so it takes a while. There are TEN buttons and a replay bar to trigger this thing. The TEN buttons are unreadable unless your face is 2 or 3 inches from the watch and the light is just right. I think I could sit and read, study, research, debate, visit the Emerson alarm clock forums for hours, days and really do my life. NOTES I keep going all my life I will search goodwill, salvage army and flea markets for a basic used alarm clock with no instructions. This thing is annoying and I look forward to the day I throw it in the trash.

Pros
  • Like all before
Cons
  • Big and bulky
