- i did not find it soon enough and went through a few other projection thingies that went into the trash within a month

This thing died after 4 months. Started showing the wrong time, error messages, the radio going off for no reason and wouldn't turn off. It's a good thing they stopped making it as its a piece of junk.

This Emerson Alarm Clock Radio is just what I was looking for. I love just opening my eyes in the middle of the night and seeing the time projecting on the ceiling. And it's great to have two alarms! This clock is used everyday and so far it has been very reliable! I'm glad I bought it!

Having read other consumer's comments, all of the above model's preceding attributes are indisputable; its design and operational features are undeniably functional and practical. Yet, there's always room for improvement! One area which EMERSON RADIO should concentrate on is the radio's restrictive use for station tuning. The above radio designed with such advanced technology should be complemented by DIGITAL tuning. Digital tuning provides the customer with accurate station identity, specific station "presetting" capability as well as enhances the customer's ease of use when performing this function in a dark or lighted environment. A digitally tuned feature will add further to this radio's performance and quality.

This clock has a good wall display as well as 2 alarms. We lost power in June!, and the clock kept the time as it was designed to do when the power came back on. I'm glad I spent the extra money and purchased this clock over the less expensive ones.
