Emerson ER100202 Smartset Dual Alarm Clock Radio with USB Port and QI Wireless Phone Charger with Bluetooth, All Qi Compatible Phones

The first Emerson radio I had I purchased when I was in college in 2004. I really liked that radio a lot and it has served me well for 20 years. However, the radio had degraded over time and it was necessary for me to replace my old clock radio. I looked for a long time online to find an AM/FM Clock radio to replace the one I currently had. Most of the clocks that I looked at had to mix of good and bad reviews, so I ended up deciding to purchase another Emerson Radio just because I had loved my first one for so long. I would’ve preferred to purchase a product that was made in the United States, but I was not able to find a Clock radio that was manufactured in the United States available for purchase on Amazon. This clock radio does not have an AM radio, and while I don’t really listen to the AM stations, I always like to have a radio with AM in case of an emergency. After I purchased this radio, I just decided to purchase an emergency radio for my emergency needs should those arise. This is a wonderful upgrade from my radio from 20 years ago. The sound quality is wonderful! That’s all I really wanted it for since I wake up to the classical radio station every single day. This has other features like colorful lights, it’ll charge your phone, it can connect to your phone, and do various other things as well. The only thing I really wanted it for was the clock and an alarm that would wake me up to the Classical Music music station. This is the first day that I have had this radio so it could still go downhill, but I’m optimistic. It seems well-made, the reception is excellent, and the sound quality is awesome. It comes with an antenna, but I didn’t need to unfold it and move it around to get a good signal. It just it just caught a good signal all on its own. If you’re interested in a radio with great sound that seems well-made this would be a clock radio to look into. I made a video just showing some of the features of this particular model, so you can see for yourself the quality of this small radio.

Excellent product! It keeps time accurately, the display light however is very bright, my wife loves it because she can see her shadow at night

Only complaint is that I cannot change/lower the volume on the alarm. Also, it initially set the time automatically, but it was wrong. But I don’t take any points off for that. Setting the time is so easy. Actually love the fact that seating alarm time is so easy with the 4-way button so you can change hour and minute at same time without cycling from one to the other like basically every other clock in the world.

This is a great reasonably priced Alarm clock/Radio/Speaker/Wireless Charger. While this is technically an alarm clock I would encourage anyone who wants a non-portable speaker and wireless charging pad to consider this. I bought this to listen to stuff in my kitchen & it's been a great experience so far. The display shows small icons for the alarms, if it's currently AM, if the radio is active, if Bluetooth pairing is active, if the AUX mode is active, if snooze is active, if your device is being charged wirelessly, if the backup battery needs replacing as well as the day of the week underneath. For the display, you have 4 brightness settings that can be very easily changed and imo the color tone of the time/day is pleasant to look at. Above the display is a button range with about 10 well-placed buttons for various options. The 3 buttons you are most likely to use are on the far left, center & far right and the center button doubles as a volume knob. You can also use a couple of buttons to cycle through songs on your phone while in Bluetooth mode. It's also worth mentioning in the rear there's a radio antenna cable, an AUX port & a 2.1A/5V USB-C charging port. Also the smartset functionality depends on an integrated back-up battery but again the display will show a small icon when the battery needs replacing. For the alarm clock you have 2 alarms that can be set to a buzzer or the radio & you can choose to set them for Mon-Fri or just Weekends. You can choose alarm volumes in a range between 1-16 (same range for radio, Bluetooth & AUX) and the center button on the button console will snooze the alarm for 9 minutes at a time. Regarding the radio functionality it works well as you can place the antenna as you need to and it's easy to figure out how to setup and use. You have the option to save 20 radio station frequencies and can easily cycle through all 20. If you choose to manually cycle frequencies it can take a few minutes as it stops every .1 of a FM frequency but it's not really an issue if you set preset stations. The speaker is good though to be honest I'm not an audiophile. It seems fairly punchy & loud as it is capable of outputting some bass though in balance with the other sound aspects. Of course it's not going to hold a candle against an actual sound system but I think most people would appreciate the speaker quality. Also you can choose to have the built-in LED strip light up w/ your music although it's more of a gimmick feature tbh as you only get a relatively small strip. Still it's fun to have if you enjoy things like that.

The sound stopped working after a week. The icon flashes to show the alarm timer is going off but the sound quit working after only a week of use. 1st UPDATE: I got it working again by unplugging it and reconnecting. I read another review where this same thing has happened multiple times. So right now I am still setting my phone as a backup to see if it happens again. The main feature I bought this for was the ascending alarm. I like that feature because it allows me to wake up without disturbing my wife. My last alarm clock had that feature as well, but it is hard to find one with an ascending volume. So far this clock has what I want but is unreliable. The charger is a nice feature, but not very practical when your phone is covering all the buttons. The radio sound: SUCKS. Sounds like an old transistor radio. But I don’t care about the radio at all because I don’t use an alarm clock for that. I wake to buzzer. I just don’t like being jolted awake which is why I need the ascending volume. This clock is just unreliable so far. The ability to set the alarm to only go off on weekdays without having to turn it on and off is a home run idea. But that feature may have something to do with the alarm sound failing. I used it the first week and it was great. The weekend came and it did what it is supposed to. Which was great. But then Monday is when the sound failed. This is the second weekend. We’ll see what happens on Monday. Stay tuned. UPDATE #2: Yup. Second time the sound stopped working. Had to unplug it so it will work again. I ordered a different clock. This is the most unreliable alarm clock I’ve ever owned. I started the return process on this until I realized the original packaging got thrown away. So instead I will enjoy smashing this alarm clock into pieces when my new one arrives. I give this clock a NEGATIVE 5 star review. The worse part about Amazon is you can’t trust the reviews. They lump reviews from different products into a shared review file. So unless the reviewer provides a photo of their product, you don’t know for sure if they are talking about the same product you want to order.

I wanted to love this clock. I really did. It listed out all the features I wanted. Dimmable display, check. Qi phone charger, check. Wake to FM radio, check. Battery backup for power failure, check. However, as time went on, I noticed several issues that made me NOT love it. First, let me say that having the clock automatically set itself when you plug it in is a GREAT feature! Beats having to do it manually. And the sound from the speakers is pretty good for an item like this. I've had clock/radios that had much worse sound quality. Plus, all of the items I mentioned above (with some exceptions noted below). So the biggest drawbacks I encountered were these. Periodically the sound would just not work. No matter the input, no matter the volume level I attempted to set, there was suddenly no sound. When using the FM radio to wake up, this is a problem. The only way I was able to rectify the problem was by "rebooting" the clock by unplugging it for 10 seconds or so, then plugging it back in. Then the sound would work for a random amount of time (usually at least a week or two) before it would disappear again. Like I said, very bad when you rely on the sound to wake you up! Another issue I had was with the controls on the top of the unit. That's also where the Qi charger is, so when your phone is sitting on top of the clock, charging overnight, it covers all of the controls. The only way to hit Snooze is to push your phone off the clock or just push down on the phone and actuate the snooze button. One big problem with this is that there are two elevated buttons toward the front of the clock that you might accidentally press when pushing down on the phone. One is the power button that will just turn the alarm off, and the other is the input button, which might change your FM input to bluetooth, silencing the alarm. Both are NOT what you want to do if your intent is to snooze for a few minutes before getting up. I'm hopeful that the issue with the sound needing rebooted was just a glitch with my unit, and not a 'feature' endemic to the entire line! Not sure how the control/charging location could be fixed on this design, except for a total scrapping of it and moving the controls elsewhere on the unit. At any rate, I decided to go with another clock/radio that would avoid the controls/charging issue but getting one that charges on the front of the unit with the controls on the top of the unit. Hope this review can help some of you decide if it's what you want.

(1) I bought this because the digital clock I had was not bright enough to see the time from across the room (from bed) when I woke up during the night and in the morning. This clock is so much better that way: big, bright numbers with a brightness that can be adjusted. I don't keep it by my bed because I don't need to use it for an alarm clock. (2) I also was tired of having to reset the clock I had when the power went off here (which it does from time to time during storms) and reset twice a year for daylight savings. I was dee-lighted at the fact that this sets itself as soon as it's plugged in and has a long-lasting battery back up. (3) I also wanted a clock radio, and as it's not a primary source for listening to music, I didn't need a super-premium quality for that. This radio gives me a nice, clear sound. (4) The cordless charger on top has worked flawlessly for me, and the USB cable is a bonus. (5) I like that the unit is a compact size with all these features. It's not a design-y looking unit (not that there's anything wrong with those) and I think that keeps the cost down. Still, it's a sleek and attractive design. ~~ I looked at a lot of clocks and clock radios online before settling on this, and it was a good purchase.

I just hooked it up yesterday. I've always like Emerson clock radios. I bought one 30 years gift for $5 at the 5 and 10 Woolworths. And it lasted for years. This clock radio the alarm starts off very quiet and gets louder and louder which are extremely like. Now I did buy the black one the more expensive one. Now I know the reviews said that the sound was really bad. That's not my experience with this one maybe it's the more expensive one it's clearer with better sound actually he's got excellent sound. Maybe the silver one has a bad sound I can't say either way. But anyway I'm extremely satisfied with this clock radio so far. It worked me up really nice this morning. Both alarms worked excellent. Soon as I plugged it in it set the time and the date. Highly recommend the black one anyway.

لم اجربه لكن الفيش جاني بموصفات امريكية كنت متوقع انه ثلاثي. حجم الجهاز صغير . حتى لو قلت تبدل الفيش للاسف السلك متصل بالجهاز مايطلع

If you want a decent alarm clock for lower money than competitors, that is also easy to use, has QI charging, and basically sets it self up, this is for you! My previous alarm clock died, so I was using my phone as an alarm, until one morning I had forgotten to plug the phone in and it died over night. So, to kill two birds with one stone, I wanted an alarm clock that would also charge my phone. Success! This unit is small, easy to use, and easy to read. It has an extensive list of options including two different programmable alarm times, set by day, week days, weekends or full week. It has Bluetooth capability, I haven’t used this feature, so I don’t know how any of this works. I use it with local radio (FM) and it works awesome! - one major thing that I love is the gradually increasing volume at alarm time, not just turn on and blow your ears off. This is a great alarm clock for anybody!

Item was easy to set up however it does not have any antenna hence all the radio stations sounded distorted. Note that once the 2nd alarm is activated, it will replace the 1st alarm ie., If your 1st alarm is radio, it will stop playing once your 2nd beeping alarm is activated.

Buena calidad, se siente muy plástico, funciona excelente, cumple con toda su descripción, la carga inalámbrica muy bien (aun usando un case en el celular) así como la usb, el radio Fm, la entrada auxiliar y el bluetooth, regulación del brillo muy bien… excelente producto… Si quieres potencia de sonido busca algo más, este tiene lo necesario para su propósito y no está nada mal

It did not even work for 15 days. One of the LEDs stopped working after 15 days From then on I am unable to use the product Can you please help me by servicing the same The vendor Colour Papers is even more horrible. The person in the reception does not understand or speak English properly. When I mentioned to her that I am unable to understand due to her poor English as she just ended the conversation. Did not even provide the e-mail id where I am supposed to send my complaint.
