Great little clock, June 10, 2004
This review is from: Emerson Dual-Alarm Clock Radio - CK5051
My husband and I really enjoyed this clock. Why we don't have it anymore has nothing to do with how it performed. It was a great clock. We liked how the numbers were large. That LED light makes it soothing to look at as well. No bright red, yellow or green lights. Just a nice blue(and there is a dimmer switch on it if it is too bright for you). It's taller than it is long which makes it a nice space saver. We also had quite a few storms last year, and if your power goes out and comes back on later (even after 2 days like what happened to us, the right time WILL show up again) And as an added bonus, the alarm still goes off on time if it is plugged in and the power is out (so long as you put a battery in it of course :D ). About that snooze button. We had no problems with that either. If you set the clock away from where you sleep, so you have to get up to turn it off, then you will actually look to see where the snooze/radio buttons are. Of course you're going to hit another button if you just reach over the bed, eyes half shut, and slap the thing. We had no problem finding the buttons with our eyes wide open. One more compliment has to be that we didn't find the buzzer annoying either. It was actually pleasant compared to every other one we tried out in the store. Go ahead, try them out. You'll see what we mean. It's more of a beep than a BUZZ! Which was really nice. Me personally I have to have the buzzer on. Otherwise I will fall back asleep to the music, and the one thing I can't stand to hear when I first wake up in the morning, is a loud BUZZ sound. Praise God, they made one that BEEPS for a change. Well, take care and God bless you all, and enjoy your alarm clock. (whichever one you choose to buy)

inherent flaws in dual alarms, August 4, 2004
This review is from: Emerson Dual-Alarm Clock Radio - CK5051
works well as a clock, but depend on the dual alarm feature to help you get up in the morning? HAH!
i have returned my clock to target 3 times to get it replaced. don't depend on your snooze button to work, because it simply turns the alarm off. this was a defect i found after about a month of using the clock. it used to let you snooze for about 7 minutes, but after a while, the snooze feature simply stopped working. i thought it was because i set the second alarm within 1 hour of the first. not true.
and i called emerson customer service to inquire about it. their service was awful and they wanted me to pay shipping to send it back to them for replacement! not likely to find anyone paying $9 shipping on a $13 clock.
i'm returning mine to target and replacing it with a $17 brand from sony.
i can't afford to depend on this emerson clock to let me snooze any more! i would have been better off to set 2 separate clocks at my bedside!
