Got this clock for Christmas and I love it! It works great and I have had no issues. I am thrilled that I no longer have to sit up to look over my husband to see what time it is. The projector time is just the right light - not too bright but dark enough to see.

Great clock. Had it for a month now and I haven't had any problems with it yet. Room has to be very dark in order to see the projector, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.

I received this clock as a Christmas present and love it. I love the projection and that I don't have to remember to turn on the alarm every night. I have not used the actual alarm part, I use the radio as the alarm that way I can set it for as load as I want. I love this clock!!

RCA's similar clock has a very bright backlit display and functions like a nightlight. Emersons is not like this and I'm very happy because of this. Clock is great!

Three people in our family have this clock and we love it. We have never had any problems at all and two of us have owned it for at least a year. The time is always right and the projection has never failed. We like it so much we are buying it for others.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I didn't want the projection feature but liked every other feature of the clock. The projection was off, but when I awoke, it was projecting. I tried to turn it off, but it wouldn't deactivate. Called Emerson and they told me to unplug it for 6 hours to reset. I did, and the projection turned off. I awoke the next morning, and it was on again. Even unplugging no longer turns it off. I'm returning it tomorrow.

I received this as a gift and was really happy to have it, but when I plugged it in the time did not register, then unplugged and plugged it in again and then it did work but only for about one day, went through this routine of the projector malfunctioning for a few days and have decided to return the product. I do not recommend this product, the projector is not reliable.

I've had this clock for over a year now and haven't had one problem with it. The display is clear and the projector works great. We bought the clock because of the projector feature and we haven't been disappointed at all. I think the alarm is loud enough but my husband thinks it could be a little louder. I agree with the other review that the alarm 1 and alarm 2 buttons could be illuminated so you could see them at night. I also find that I have to hit the snooze button pretty hard in order for the alarm to stop.

 
This clock seemed great ...
By Amanda B from Tulsa OK on 6/12/2007

This clock seemed great at a glance, plenty of features and such. However, it doesn't deliver on quality. The first night of use, the projector seemed to lock up and shut off, and would not come back on. Unplugged it, and back in, and it worked again. Next day, it locked up and projector said it was 4.39am. Yes, a decimal, not a colon. And the time was actually around midnight. The clock itself read the correct time, but the projector was messed up. Unplugged/replugged again. Works. Next night, wake up to see on my ceiling "3U9". *sigh* Looking for another clock as I type this, and plan on returning this one. I do not recommend this product. Unplugging it seems to fix the problem, but who wants a clock that needs to be unplugged every morning to reset it? Big thumbs down.
