Excellent clock radio.......2007-11-13
I'm a bit neurotic about these things, and spent a LONG TIME researching clock radios online before settling on this one. It has ALMOST everything I could want.
The best feature is that the times for the two alarms are prominently displayed on the screen, all the time. No more compulsive checking before bed to make sure that the alarm is set for the right time. I also like that you can pre-set each alarm to ring on just weekdays, just weekends, or every day; if you keep to a regular schedule, you really don't need to change anything from day to day.
Regarding the snooze feature: I was a bit worried that the "wave sensor" would be too sensitive, and that I would end up snoozing when I didn't mean to, but so far this really hasn't been a problem. You need to wave your hand pretty deliberately for it to snooze. Also, while you're snoozing, there's a blinking light to remind you that the alarm is not turned off, which is very helpful.
Regarding the tuner: I was surprised to see that this radio has an old analog dial-style radio tuner, rather than a digital tuner. It makes it a bit tricky to find the station you want, but it does tend to stay put much better than other radios. My last one would drift pretty heavily.
There are really just a few things I'm not crazy about:
1. The snooze timer is not adjustable. Each snooze is 9 minutes. Personally, I prefer 7. Many other clock radios on the market today have adjustable snooze, but not this one.
2. No atomic clock. It uses that "SmartSet" business, which is basically just factory-set with a very strong battery. But if it does ever get the wrong time, you'll need to set it by hand. Adding atomic clock capability would make it just about perfect.
3. No digital tuning, but as I said above, it's really not a big deal.
4. The display doesn't prominently show the weekday/weekend option for each alarm. Let's say alarm #1 is set for 7:00, on weekdays only. The display will always show the 7:00 part, but you need to press a button to see which days the alarm is set for (weekdays, weekends, or both). It would be nice to add another indicator -- a light meaning "this alarm WILL go off tomorrow", for example. If you don't change the settings too often though, this isn't much of an issue.
Overall, this radio is highly recommended!
Finally a keeper!!.......2007-09-21
My husband and I went through 4 other alarm clocks before we settled on this one. This alarm clock provided everything that was missing in each of our previous alarm clocks. It has a large easy to read from across the room display (but can be dimmed or shut off and then on again w/a wave of the hand), has two separate alarm settings which you can set for weekdays only, weekends only, and weekdays and weekends also w/buzzer,or radio which each of the two alarms can be set to individual preference. Both alarms are displayed constantly underneith the time (which is suprisingly reasuring feature to have) and my husband likes that the alarm shut off button (radio on/off) is a big round button off to the very left side of the alarm which allows him to turn the alarm off every morning without first putting his glasses on and then hunting for the off button. I love it that once you tap the off button, it turns the alarm off for the day and then automatically resets itself to wake me up again the next day. I also have the option to not shut the alarm off and listen to the radio for an hour as I get ready for work, after which time it will shut itself off until the next day again. All in all a very good buy and well worth the money!!
Don't be Fooled.......2007-09-07
Smartset clocks have a lot of WOW factor. However, don't be fooled. These are not "Atomic" clocks that keep very accurate time. In fact, these clocks are not set by anything external. They are set at the factory and have a long life backup battery that keeps the clock running. When you plugh it in, the display goes through a visual setting process that looks cool. However, these clocks run fast, slow, etc. Nothing actually syncs the time like clocks called "atomic clocks". When these clocks run fast or slow, you have to reset them manually.
If you are looking for accuracy, SmartSet Technology clocks are NOT what you want.
not bad, could be better.......2007-06-17
This clock radio has a lot of nice features, but there are also some quirks and Emerson may have a problem with quality control. Nice features: automatic time setting (but who really believes we will have the same daylight savings time system for another 100 years?), dual alarms each with 7/5/2 day settings, 2-level display that's not too bright. I thought the snooze control activated by passing one's hand in front of the clock would be nice 'til I sat up in bed and the radio shut down - it's too sensitive. Radio does not pull in very well at least the station I like to listen to.
First one I got had some LED elements that did not illuminate. Amazon shipped a replacement FAST - kudos to Amazon - and the replacement had a small defect too, tho not worth pushing Amazon again. (One of the alarms won't show "off," even when it is off.)
Perfect.......2007-05-26
I really like this clock radio. The numbers are large and colorful and the radio is quite acceptable. Not concert hall but good. The clock lights up only when you set off a sensor such as waving your hand near the face. But my cat and bed sheets also do it and it is pretty senstive so the clock display sometimes comes on unrequested. Not a major problem. I like it. I would recommend it; it's fun.

Emerson JUMBO Display Clock Radio.......2007-12-31
Great product. Love the JUMBO review and that the day of the week is in green lights. Love this product. Thanks
poor radio.......2007-12-03
I currently have an old Emerson Research that does not adjust to daylight saving time since Congress changed the dates and I was looking to upgrade. I returned this item because I could not tune the radio station that I have listened to for over 25 years. I will stick with the older model that allows me to hear the radio station that I like.
I would have rated the item zero stars but the web site would not allow me to do that.
good value.......2007-12-02
This seems like a good value so far. I haven't used the alarms yet, but the radio sounds adequate (for talk radio) and the two-setting switch for dimming works fine. I find the lower setting too low for our daylit room, but the bright setting works fine all the time for me. The buttons seem sturdy enough. It is slightly cumbersome to do the settings, but heck I don't change them very often so it's not a big deal at all. Definitely easy to read display and a good compact product.
Great for the Price.......2007-10-14
I didn't even realize this is an "atomic" clock, until it set itself almost immediately when I plugged it in. Got this for my son, so can go to sleep to music. He had no problem learning the controls as a 10 year old. Nice big number display as well.
Slow.......2007-08-22
This seems to be a good product with one exception. Its sets the time four minutes slow. You can adjust the time to the correct time so what good is the built in timer?

Amazon.com Product Description
The Emerson CKS2237 Dual Alarm Clock Radio features Emerson's exclusive, patented SmartSet auto time-setting technology, so you'll always know the precise time. This clock radio is also loaded with features that ensure easy, dependable operation. Trust the Emerson CKS2237 to create the ideal sleeping and waking environment so you wake up on time, feeling rested and ready to start your day.
Weather conditions, power outages, and other problems can cause ordinary clock radios to cease working properly. But the Emerson CKS2237 is designed to never let you down. In fact, it automatically sets itself to the correct year, month, date, day and time as soon as you plug it in, and there's no need to reset the time after an interruption of electricity. The Emerson CKS2237 also features seven day-of-the-week LED indicators, high-lo display dimmer control, and automatic Daylight Saving and Leap Year time adjustments. Thanks to its large, easy to read 1.4-inch green display for time and .6-inch green display for month and date, even when you're just waking up, you won't have to struggle to see the exact time and date. Extremely reliable, the Emerson CKS2237 uses a battery that can last up to 5-8 years, depending on the length and frequency of power interruptions. For added peace of mind, the system comes with a low-battery indicator, and an included, extra long-life battery back-up system with 3-volt lithium battery.
The CKS2237 adjusts to meet the needs of your unique schedule by letting you set the programmable dual alarms for weekday, weekend, or everyday operation. And to ensure that you go to sleep and wake up in the way that suits you best, you can choose the sleep-to-music function, and either a radio or buzzer alarm. Other options include an auto shut-off timer (if you only want the alarm to ring a set number of times); snooze (if you need a little extra sleep); and the repeat alarm (if you prefer to have your sleep interrupted a few times before you ultimately get up). You'll also never have to worry about not hearing your alarm; the wide-range, three-inch dynamic speaker offers excellent sound quality.

Doesn't work with new Daylight Saving Time dates.......2007-10-29
I have owned this clock since 2001, and it has worked great. The best feature was being able to plug it in and have the date and time automatically set. Power outages no longer cleared the date/time, and it used to adjust properly for Daylight Saving Time. I say used to, because when Congress changed the dates in 2006, the clock no longer resets properly. In the Fall, it adjusts a week ahead of schedule, and vice versa in the Spring. So my "automatically adjusting clock" is not "mostly automatically adjusting" - twice a year you need to manually set the time. As this was the biggest selling point to me, the clock is now essentially worthless. Avoid this product and find a clock that truly sets itself using radio waves, not internally hard-coded dates.
Wonderful alarm clock.......2007-09-06
My son was given this alarm clock for christmas last year and I did not realize hit would keep time on it's own. It is wonderful. I like that there are two alarm settings so you can have a weekday and weekend time set up. I recommend this clock if the power goes out it resets itself to the correct time via Colorado.
My favorite alarm clock radio(s).......2007-08-29
I have 2 different SmartSet models. I've had one for well over a year, and the 2nd for just a few months. I bought it for my husband because I've been so happy with mine. I love the time-reset feature. It's really easy to set and use this clock and the alarms. It has a lot of flexibility without being overly complicated. Some reviewers have mentioned their clocks are either fast or slow. Both my clocks keep the correct time TO THE MINUTE. I also can't say I had any problems with the daylight savings change. The older clock had a one-time-only fix when the change went into effect. I do not have to repeat this 'fix' ever again. The second clock was already programmed for the new DST. The radio reception is as good as any alarm clock radio I've ever owned (which is to say, not great, but functional). Yes, the display is a bit too bright, even on the dim setting - but it doesn't disturb my ability to sleep.
great funtionality.......2007-08-07
just plug it in , and forget it , No worries. Amazingly well design clock, control buttons very simple to operate. Dual Alarm, RESET IT SELF, very SMART piece of electronic. However, i think Emerson can do better job with the product quality. I had to return the first one due to malfuntioning buttons on top panel. The second one works fine. thanks
always on time.......2007-07-03
We have several of these clocks now. They reset automatically whenever the power goes out, and the numbers are large enough to read in the middle of the night without glasses. All in all, very convenient.

exactly what I needed.......2007-12-03
When I went to replace my 20 year old Panasonic dual alarm, I tried several Sony versions with no success. This is perfect, very easy to read and allows either alarm to use the radio or buzzer.
Outdated Daylight Savings Chip.......2007-11-14
Very Beautiful Clock BUT the daylight savings chip was outdated.The instuctions(at Emersonclocks website) on how to re set the daylight savings chip did not work. Emerson still has outdated Smartset models for sale so be aware..
If I'm to remember to adjust the daylight savings,I can just get a regular clock.
Come on Emerson ,,recall the outdated clocks.
Good stuff.......2007-10-25
Good clock. Small footprint on nightstand. Numbers are gigantic, I'm pretty blind but can see them without glasses. Alarm is quieter than expected on buzz but gets louder. Wave-to-snooze works better on this clock than my old Brookstone -- just wave in front of clock and the alarm snoozes. Auto-set is fast. Numbers are bright but can be dimmed just enough so that you don't have a bright light in your face in bed. Basic alarm clock -- but it does what it does well.
weekday alarm.......2007-10-18
I bought this clock for my teen-aged son, because he doesn't bother to turn off his alarm for the weekend, thus bothering the rest of the house with beeping for an hour or so on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Apparently he sleeps through it just fine. With this clock, he can set his alarm for school Mon-Fri, and not set the weekend alarm, and we're all happy.
The "SmartSet" technology seems to mean that it was preset at the factory. It was between 5 and 10 minutes slow when we first turned it on, so I'm not sure exactly how useful it is.
Arrived Defective - Radio Did not Work.......2007-10-13
Product arrived defective. Clock worked, but could not get the Radio to operate.
