Emerson CKS1507 Smartset Radio Alarm Clock, 1.4" Blue LED Digital Display, USB Charging Port, Brightness Dimmer Controls, Bluetooth Connectivity, Set Alarm to Radio, Music, or Buzzer, Black

I've had an Emerson Smart-set clock-radio-CD player for many years but recently it developed functional issues making it intermittently undependable so I decided to look for a newer model. I chose this one because of it's clean lines combined with the easy to read, brightness adjustable blue digital display. While I no longer have any need for a CD player, or an O.T.A. radio, I want the radio's functionality in the event I need it at some point so this clock-radio hits the spot for me. The only issue I've had with this device was when I set it up for the first time. It didn't initially detect my time-zone or set itself to the correct time, not even after inserting a backup battery (not included) so I had to set those up manually. While this was not an issue for me, it is contrary to the advertised behavior so I must describe the device as not being in compliance with what's advertised. Based on that, buyer beware, but if the initial set-up functionality is not an issue for you and you want a great looking clock, you should consider this one.Ernie

Have loved emerson smartset until I bought this one. Lithium battery was totally dead. Smartset doesn't work at all. While setting the date and time manually. The date that first appeared was 2019. This tells me the clock was manufactured 5 or 6 years ago, accounting for the dead Lithium battery. At least Amazon should sent me a Lithium battery. After all I was buying a new clock, not a 6 year old clock. The smartset is nice but I will be able to do without it. I Would have rated much higher if everything worked as advertised

Big fan of this alarm clock. I have a few, Ive given them for gifts and really like the new design. But as many other reviews stated, the battery came dead. It doesn't auto set without a working one. Called Amazon and they wouldn't send a new battery, suggested I buy one. Hmmm. Called Emerson and ta da it'll be in the mail today. So thank you Emerson and buy the clock, it's great!

I love this clock radio. I can set an alarm, it has a nightlight, I can dim the light on the clock so it’s not too bright while I’m sleeping. I can charge my phone and if the power goes out, it resets itself when the power comes back on. Same goes for daylight savings time, it sets itself to the correct time.

Brand new clock arrived with dead battery! This is a lithium battery for backup, product description advertises that battery is included. To me, that means a working battery! No option to contact seller on this, product support took me to Emerson website. IF I get positive resolution from them, I will update this review. Another reviewer had the same problem, and I just assumed this would mean pop in a AA or AAA battery, which I keep on hand. Very frustrating to find that it requires a special battery that I don't even know where to buy one. Also noted that the "SmartSet" does not work - plugged it in and clock did not in any way set correct time. I had to do it manually, which to be honest, was relatively simple. The owner's manual was clear. I actually had more trouble figuring out radio stations. Sound quality is decent, about what you would expect from a clock radio. Decent radio reception. Blue tooth works well. Overall, for a $10 clock - decent value, I was hoping to buy two more to use in our guest bedrooms, where the battery backup and automatic time set is important. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere to find clocks for those rooms.

It will help if you are good with tech things because a lot of technology went into this and I can’t believe these only cost $15.Nice unit and the sound is very good.Relatively easy to set up with all the things it does. Also perfect size for alarm clock radio.Does not pick up radio stations where I am located but ok.I would recommend this alarm clock radio .

Likes: dual alarms, good dimmer with several levels, love the wake to music as it starts very low and builds sound without jarring you awake, has a nice night light if preferred.Dislikes - only one really. First plugin, setup, it went right to correct time zone, time, and year and the 1st several power outages, Since then if I get a power outage, it stays on 2019 and 2 hours off on my time zone (eastern which is default) Unplug, let it set awhile, plug back in no dice, stays several years off and 2 hours off time. This is a function that was supposed to be automatic, it was on the 1st Smartset I bought, and is in this description of this one. I had to set everything myself, year, time etc radio station. I noticed that my first Smartset after so long started losing time or adding time. nothing huge..5 to 7 minutes here and there and had to be adjusted from time to time, but Ive had it years and I expect cheap electronics to fail sooner or later. 20 to 30 bucks every 5 years or so is not bad IMO. Manual setup takes a minute or 10.**Edit - found out that after the last power outage DLST does not function even though it is on. Everything keeps pointing back to the clock being in "standby" mode to change on or off. No mention of how to put the device in 'standby" mode in the manual. Just that it has to be in that mode to turn on DLST. Maybe I got a bad one - it happens. Only had it 3 months.

Not the best in the world, but it's what works for me. I have a hard time waking up sometimes but this one has been able to do it. It's sorta simple, I just set the alarm to the radio and then set it to a static station. Then I blast the volume. Used to scare me awake, but now I'm used to it. Bought this one again bc I broke the last one. Probably was too hard on it. Does the job and I like it

Comprei duas vezes, sendo que a primeira compra foi devolvida por ter chegado com aparência de usado. A segunda compra chegou direito, porém o produto não atende ao que foi proposto. A propaganda informa que você tem que configurar o parelho para seu Fuso Horário e que essa programação seria feita apenas uma única vez, pois ficaria gravada na MEMÓRIA, e toda vez que fosse desligada da tomada, ao religar ela voltaria no seu Fuso Horário. Isso não ocorre, toda vez que acabar a luz terá que ser RECONFIGURADA. Uma das características que me levou a comprar o produto, pois será usado por uma pessoa de 96 anos com dificuldades para essa RECONFIGURAÇÃO. Propaganda Enganosa!!!!!!!!

Excelente producto funciona bien

Great product. It has met all my expectations.

Doesn’t deserve even one star . Sent a clock meant for USA with 2 flat pin plug and 110 v. Date in USA format ie 4th sept is 9/4/21 instead of Uk 4/9/21. Conversion would be £40/£70 and still left with USA date format .Refunded!!
