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)

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!

This is almost a good alarm clock. Everything seems to function as it should with one severe glitch. The button that turns on the radio (and deactivates the alarm) is nestled in the horseshoe-shaped snooze button. If you clumsily slap the snooze button as I do, you will inadvertently turn off the alarm completely. Finally, this one's going back.

I bought this clock...TWICE...and neither of the clocks worked properly. The first one had a faulty snooze button --- my hubby's alarm went off, he hit snooze, and it never went off again. He woke up a half hour after he was supposed to be at work. I tested the clock out and found that the snooze malfunctioned on both Alarm One and Alarm Two. So, we exchanged it for another one. Guess what?! That one was WORSE! Having already been burned by the first one, we tested this one right away and found that Alarm One ONLY worked if you awoke to that ANNOYING beeping...the radio setting did not work at all. And the snooze did not work for EITHER setting. Alarm Two worked with both the radio and alarm to wake, but the snooze, once again, did not work at all. There is something wrong with the manufacturing of this clock. Don't waste your money...or your time!!!

so far I havent' had troouble with the dual alarm feature - probalem is... snooze doesn't work. danger!!

This is the worst alarm I have ever had!! It has a mind of its own, the snooze works when it wants, and forget the 2 seperate alarms! Im going today to buy a different brand all together and throw this one in the trash!!

This clock is a piece of junk. The battery backup is USELESS. I was late to work twice this year because of it. It just drains the battery, then it doesn't work. Setting the clock and the alarms is a huge pain. Emerson is difficult to contact. Buy another brand!

I hate this alarm clock. I would like to know what is wrong with it, the snooze button only works when it wants to. I got one as a wedding present and the snooze only worked when it wanted so i took it back and got a new one and the new one does the same thing. I have tried useing only Alarm 1 or only Alarm 2 and using both, also tried hitting the snooze button in different places and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This morning my husband used Alarm 2 and got up at 4:30 and i hit the snooze to test it and it worked, (hasn't worked in about 5 days) and my alarm 1 went off at 7am and I hat the snooze and it didn't work so I didn't wake up till 8:00, Hello suppose to be at work already! It is very fustrating, and I can't figure out when it likes to work and when it doesn't. So I would like to chuck it across the room. I will be buying another alarm clock and throwing this one away! My husbands $.25 clock that he got at a rummage sale works better!! If you see this alarm clock run!
