SmartSet Radio Samrt to Give As a Gift

Describe Yourself:
Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have purchased two SmartSet Clock Radios for gifts and both recipients have been thrilled. One moved and packed the radio and a week later pluged it in and the time and all pre-set stations were still there. It is nice to give a gift like that when you receive such nice feedback about how much they really like it.

Reviews and Ratings - Clocks - SmartSet® Radio Alarm Clock By JAYNEQ
A SMART PURCHASE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
By JAYNEQ from PHILADELPHIA on 9/5/2008

Bottom Line:

I LOVE THE EASE OF USE AND SIMPLE SET UP WITH THIS CLOCK AFTER STRUGGLING WITH A SONY DREAM MACHINE AND IT'S OPERATING MANUAL. THE SMARTSET DOES JUST THAT....SETS ITSELF WHEN YOU PLUG IT IN. SETTING THE DUAL ALARMS IS A SNAP AND I REALLY LOVE THE BEEPER. THE SOUND GRADUALLY INCREASES, PLEASANTLY EASING YOU OUT OF SLEEP AND JUST SIMPLE TOUCH OF THE SNOOZE BUTTON PROVIDES AN EXTRA TEN MINUTES.

Bad Radio Reception

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This clock was fine in all ways except that the radio reception was very poor. I listen to a "tricky" radio station in the mornings with weak signal. My previous 9 year-old clock radio picked this up patchily. The Brookstone clock radio didn't pick it up at all -- nothing but white noise. I returned the Brookstone clock radio and ended up with a similarly priced, better-featured product that gets crystal clear radio reception, even of the aforementioned weak radio station. [...]

This clock is wonderful. Just plug it in and the correct time and day is there! The warm orange tone of the numbers is soft on the eyes, plus they are large enough to be seen easily but not to large to be unattractive. Very easy to set the alarm and use all the clocks funtions

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have used many alarm clocks in the past and this is by far the BEST! There is not one feature I would change about this. I love that you can set it for weekdays only, and be able to sleep in on the weekends. If you need to set it for a weekend day, you can do that as well. The alarm starts out with a soft tone and gradually gets louder, so you aren't suddenly awakened. So MANY great features about this clock. I would instantly buy it again!

Reviews and Ratings - Clocks - SmartSet® Radio Alarm Clock By Rob
Good but not perfect clock
By Rob from Pikesville, MD on 4/21/2008
Brightness setting even on lower level still too bright for a pitch dark room you're trying to sleep in.Alarm indicator light flickers on and off.Doesn't immediately tell you what station you're tuned to.[...]A good alarm clock but maybe a little overpriced unless you really like its special features.

I was tired of having momentary power outages causing my old clock-radio to reset time to 12:00 (and causing my alarm not to go off in the morning). This new clock-radio is absolutely reliable because of the battery inside which comes on when power goes off. It's a great product.

You can set 2 separate alarms covering any combination of days you please, and then never set the alarm again.
The only con is I can't seem to get the clock to keep the correct time. It's always between 10 and 20 minutes ahead - so I have a little extra time in the morning to get ready for work.

This is a great alarm! I love that the buzzer starts quiet and builds in volume, so you don't get violently woken in the morning! I just wish I didn't have to reset the Mon-Fri to add an occasional day on the weekend.

Great product! The alarm is a little cumbersome to cut off after you press the snooze button, but other than that I love it. I love that the Alarm light flashes while it is snoozing. This lets me know that I didn't cut it off yet. Mine is keeping time a little fast but I'm OK with that. I love that I don't have to turn the alarm on and off every night!! There are a lot of buttons and it takes a little time to set up but once you get used to it you will love it. The display color wasn't exactly what was listed, but it isn't that big of a deal to me.

I love this clock. Since I live on the East coast, all I had to do was plug it in. It automatically set the time to EST as well as the day of the week, date, month and year. The alarm starts off soft then gets louder, so I can usually get it before it wakes my husband. We had a power outtage the day after it arrived. What a pleasure not to have to reset.

Glad I got this, as strenghts outweight negatives. Sound would be much better if from front or side. Color of light for alarm on should be red or different color than yellow. Button on top should turn off alarm; hence, the alarm would be on for next day. Thanks.

Our area frequently loses power and with this clock, we will never wake up to the flashing "12:00" again. It is almost too easy to set up and is absolutely amazing in setting the time. It's the best alarm clock we've ever owned.

It's also nice not having to set the time each time you either move the clock or have a power outage. It even knows the month, day of the week and date. I love it!

The self setting feature of this clock is worth the purchase alone. We are remodeling our 93 year old home and the electricity is shut off frequently. This clock has saved me much aggravation and time. The light level on the read out is a good feature for bedroom use. Although the clock is not overly big if it were a little smaller it would be an even better item.

I loved the clock until it got stuck on 2:03AM. When I unplugged it, to reset it, it quit showing the time. Doesn't work anymore. I'm going to try to return it even though I didn't get the extended warranty. My previous Brookstone alarm clock purchase is about 8 years old and still working great (similar features.) That one has a lifetime warranty. Go figure.
