Amazon.com Product Description
The Emerson CK5250 Dual Alarm Clock Radio gives you reliability and versatility in a compact, easy-to-operate unit. The large, 1.4-inch red LED display clearly shows you the precise time, and there's a dimmer control that lets you adjust the settings so they're neither too bright nor too dark. The system features dual alarms that can be set and used independently, an over-sized snooze bar for those times when you need a little extra sleep, and a wide 3-inch dynamic speaker and built-in AM/FM antennas for crystal clear sound. The Emerson CK5250 is a snap to operate, even when you're half-asleep. It features a one touch radio on-off button, rotary volume, and tuning controls. And since everyone has preferences when it comes to how you best like to wake up, you can choose a radio or buzzer alarm. The Emerson CK5250 also features a 99 minute nap timer so there's no need to change your regular alarm settings when you're taking a short nap. For added convenience and peace of mind, this clock radio has a sure alarm battery back up system that ensures that the alarm works even when the power is off. The Emerson CK5250 comes with a 90 day warranty.

 Good value, big numbers for old eyes July 25, 2008
The Emerson CK 5250 clock radio represents a good value. For those of us with presbyopia (old eyes), this one is easy to see from anywhere in the room. My only complaint is that the alarm activate button for alarm 1 is dark colored and placed on a dark colored background. It took me a moment to find it. Otherwise, this radio is exactly what I was looking for and I would buy it again.
 It Beeps at odd times July 18, 2008
This is certainly a nicely styled clock radio. The large numerals are just great, and the dual alarms, if they worked, would be great. I could not get the alarms to work unless both were set to the same time. Also, it would do its beeping thing at odd hours when neither of the alarms were set. The radio is only so so, the sound certainly is not great and the tuning is difficult.
 Unreliable alarm September 16, 2007
Emerson CK5250 Dual Alarm Clock Radio (Silver)
Well, I love the look and the huge numbers but the alarm is hopeless. It goes off at random times of the day (and night) even when the alarm switch is set to OFF! I had it in a spare bedroom so I ignored this for quite some time. Sometimes it sets off the alarm beep sound. Sometimes it sets off the radio. The time it goes off has nothing to do with either of the times set on the alarm settings (or whether the alarm is set to play or not). I contact Emerson radio and they agreed to replace it for me (even though it was technically out of warranty) however by the time I pay for shipping (and their additional request of $5 to ship it back) I would have paid for this clock all over again. So I opted not to return it. [...].

pros:
-nice large display, but not to bright at night
-LOVE the alarm sounds, not a harsh buzzing, but a polite beep (1 beep every 1.5 seconds on the first alarm, 2 short beep-beeps on the second alarm every 1.5 seconds)
-the oversized snooze button is in a perfect location, and you won't accidently hit the sleep button or turn off the alarm because they are spaced far enough apart.
cons:
the first alarm we had worked fine for several months, but then it wouldn't go off, even when set properly.
eventually the first alarm setting wouldn't work at all and we had to use the second alarm for both of us to wake up, very irritating (thats why we bought a dual alarm).
but since we liked the alarm so much we went out and bought a new one. this one didn't even wait a week before the alarms wouldn't go off at their proper time.
We really enjoyed the alarm because of its polite beeps and the oversized snooze button so I wouldn't hit the sleep button accidently (which has been a problem with prior alarm clocks), but unfortunately it doesn't have a good track record with running properly.

I do agree that this alarm clock has many features, like an AM/FM tuner, a double alarm, and a bright display.
But it is very unreliable with its alarms. It did work fine in the 9 months I owned it; then things started to happen.
Five months - The radio quality seem to drop A LOT! Many stations refused to come in, and it made it almost unusable.
Six months - The bright display was much darker when I first bought it. I had a hard time reading the time due to this.
Nine months (THE FINAL STRAW) - The alarm would not go off at some times. In a month, six alarms did not go off, and I was way behind my day. And to make matters worse, the alarm would go off at random times; in one time it went off at 1:00 AM, and that was awful.
The CK5250 has a few nice features, but it's not durable. Unrecommended.
