This product is garbage. Nothing but static on the radio. I bought it to replace a very old Emerson that I found at work in the trash (the alarm on the old one didn't work). Side by side, the old one, which doesn't have an fm radio "tail", has a clear sound, while the new one, no matter how I move the antennae, gets nothing but poor quality static. from Amazon.com I bought this to replace a 15-year old CD clock radio that (for $150!) did two things - it let me fall asleep to music and wake up to an alarm. 15 years later, Emerson releases a product that cannot even do this. You can choose to EITHER fall asleep to music OR wake up to an alarm, but you cannot do both! from Amazon.com The CD player died within a couple of weeks of buying this piece of trash. I might has well throw my money out the window. I will never buy an Emerson product again. from Amazon.com The CD player failed within 2 weeks, and the sound quality is horrible. The person who designed this garbage should be forced to live in a small, dark room with nothing but this piece of junk for entertainment. I will never buy another electronic item from Emerson again! from Amazon.com Save your money and don't get ripped off by this company who cranks out sub-standard junk. This will be going in the trash tomorrow! I will make a note to NEVER BUY A PRODUCT FROM EMERSON AGAIN. from Amazon.com Purchased this Emerson clock radio with CD player, very poor reception noted. CD player only worked sporadically & indeed stopped after 4 monthes, over the 90 day warranty now, unfortunately. from Amazon.com I tried 3 or 4 clock radio CD players, but returned them when I discovered that you could go to sleep to the CD player or wake to the alarm, but not both. How stupid is that??? I was pleased that the Emerson did both and was reasonably priced. The buttons were somewhat awkward, but I was generally happy with the unit until the CD player stopped working after only 5 months. from Amazon.com We first purchased a more expensive GE CD/Clock Radio and after getting frustrated with poor radio reception as well as bugs with the CD player, we returned it. We then got the Emerson primiarily because it had a fairly largedigital readout for night time viewing. We have been using it in our kid's room for the past six months. from Amazon.com The speakers are correctly placed, the sound is good, and the features are simple but sufficient.

There are some design flaws. Too many of the buttons are on top, and they are too similar in placement and size. That leaves more room for error in an instrument whose users are typically half-asleep, at one end of the night or the other.

But if you can train your thumb to hit the right alarm settings, or if your wakeup time doesnt vary often and what you really want is good sound and a reliable instrument, this Emerson more than suffices.

from Amazon.com the second clock radio, the cd had a loud hum that can be heard across the hallway in another bedroom, over the hum of a ceiling fan. from Target.com
