Not bad

Looks great and sounds great and the remote is really nice, but sometimes the alarm does not go off. We haven't been able to determine why--it just doesn't go. I wouldn't rely on this as your primary alarm clock.

Loses correct time

I bought this item and was pleased with it the first two weeks. Then I noticed the time was wrong one day. I thought maybe the power went out, but hey!! isn't this supposed to reset time itself? I ignored, changed it to correct time and about a week and a half later it did the same thing. It was about 45 minutes off. Changed the time back again, then a couple of weeks later, same thing, it was an hour behind. I am exchanging it today for an iHome which is what I wanted in the first place. If it can not keep time and wake me up at the right time for school, what good is it?

Piece of Junk--Beware!

I've had two of these. The first one died after a few months. The second one lasted about a week. The time is now showing a constant 32:50, whatever that might be. The second unit hummed quite loudly while playing music, and the display is too bright even on its dimmest setting. You can use it as a nightlight. I hate these and wish I still had the box so I could take it back. Not recommened at all!

Buyer beware: no quality control?

I purchased 3 of these units and had to return each as they emitted a loud 60-cycle hum when turned on, with or without an iPod connected. Evidently Emerson doesn't check these things before they leave the factory. So: buyer beware!

Without the hum, this might have been an OK unit, except for the excessively bright digital display, with no way to turn it down.
