Product Description
With Emerson¿s award-winning and patented SmartSet technology, the flashing ¿12:00¿ display is a thing of the past. The CKS9051 digital tuning clock radio automatically sets itself on the first use to the correct year, month, date, day, and time. The clock radio features a large, easy-to-read LED display with dimmer control so it is easy on your eyes in the dark. The dual alarm system features two alarms that can be programmed separately - one for you and one for your partner. Both alarms can be programmed to operate on weekdays only, weekends only, or all seven days of the week. Set the alarm to wake you to your favorite AM/FM music or news station, or to the buzzer. The clock radio adjusts itself automatically for Daylight Savings Time and Leap Year, as well as maintains the correct time when the power returns after power outages. Getting out of bed will no longer be a chore with the help of the CKS9051.

After days of researching, I finally found the best alarm clock for me and my wife! We are so happy with what we found.
I can't say anything bad about this alarm clock, it got everything we are looking for:
- Weekday\weekend\everyday alarms function for each of its 2 alarm. We set up alarm 1 @ 6a.m. on weekdays (for me), alarm 2 @ 7:30a.m. (for her) on weekdays, therefore no alarm on the weekend. We don't have to wake up by the alarm clock Sat. @ 6a.m ever again.
- Individual setting for each alarm wake up to a gradual buzz or radio.
- The clock has a high/low light setting. If you think the display is too bright, set it to low.
- The display is very clear, showing time and day of week.
- The radio is very clear compare to our existing radio alarm clock.
- The most amazing thing is that the clock will reset itself to the correct time in the event of a power outage. The alarm will preserve the alarms' settings. So in case of a power outage in the middle of the night, when the power comes back on, your alarm clock will continue to function as before. What a great idea! You don't have to manually reset it again, and worse, miss you morning alarm.
These are other alarm clocks that I looked at:
Made by Emerson also. I was going to get this one, but I tried it at a store and it can tip forward as you reach in from hitting the snooze button. Also, some of the button are small. CKS 9051's design is much more stable\sturdy.
Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology
Too expensive.
Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio
Too small, for travle maybe.
RiteAlarm Triple Weekly Alarm Clock (R) for Weekdays, Saturday and Sunday, Automatic Extended Daylight Saving Time, Automatic Snooze, Adjustable Volume, Gentle Sound Pattern, Simple Buttons, Pushing Backlight and Battery Operated
This could work, but we prefer larger display and not background lit ones.
Timex Nano Color
Could work but couldn't find it at a store (Target\Sears) to try. Dispay might be too small.
Sony ICFC180 AM/FM Clock Radio
Might work but don't like the dial, display too small. A little expensive.
American Innovative Neverlate 7-Day Alarm Clock
Hope this help.

I've had the same alarm clock for 20 years! I finally had to get a new one I could see at night w/o my glasses. The 1.4" display is fabulous! I bought the CKS9031, with the blue display not orange. I chose this model because it seemed the sturdiest. The others available at Wal-Mart seemed too fragile or would easily tip over. This unit is super easy to set up. It truly does pick up the time/date immediately when plugged in. I love the fact that I never have to remember to switch on my alarm again once it is set. The blue display is gentle on the eyes even on the darkest night with the dimmer set to low. The snooze button is right on top, in front, within easy reach. Mine didn't come with the manual (it was missing from the box), it is easy and intuitive to set up alarms and the radio is digitally tuned. I think a few people are going to get this clock for Christmas. If you need a reliable, worry free alarm clock, this is definately the one!

Amazon Verified Purchase
This dual-alarm clock is perfect for my mother. She is in a retirement home and has to go to Health Care to take her medicine four times during the day. Lately, she hasn't been remembering when to go and she can no longer remember how to use the phone message machine - so she misses getting her medicine or gets it at the wrong time. The clock defaults to the correct date and time for the Eastern time zone (and can be set to another time zone) and adjusts itself automatically for the new daylight savings time changes. The alarms were very easy to set up. Now all she needs to know is to press either or both of the two buttons on the right (alarm1 and alarm2). Pushing the wrong button doesn't do any harm. I also like the way the audio alarm start out low and builds in volume. I ordered more of these - a second one for her so I can cover all four alarm times and two for me so I can have them at my house when she stays over. The display is great (you can dim it if you want) and the price was very reasonable. One of my best buys from amazon.
