Anyway, we LOVE our All-Alert clock radio. With the severe weather we've had this summer in Iowa, we wanted to be sure that something would wake us up in a tornado warning to take the kids downstairs. This has done that twice... which is well worth the money I spent. Once, I was watching our local weather newscast (severe weather was in counties west of us and was headed our way) and the meteorologist's weather alert "buzzer" in his weather room went off at the EXACT same time as this All-Alert radio, so I know that we are getting severe weather alerts when the meteorologists are.
This is a great device and potential life-saver. It's constantly out of stock at our local Super Target and it's a high-reorder item there. I like that it is a combined alarm clock it simply replaced our existing bedroom alarm clock without adding another electronic device/cords to the bedroom. I'd definitely buy it again!!

This radio arrived poorly packaged, which probably had something to do with the fact that the LCD display did not function properly. Some of the fields did not display at all, and the ones that did were not that easy to view. Viewing angle is critical for this display, and if you are looking at the display on the same level, the display is not clear. If you are looking downward at the display, you can see it much better. Unfortunately, if you put this on your nightstand, you're probably looking straight at the clock which means a poor display. I returned this clock radio and got the MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio for $45 and I was very pleased with the upgrade. I am glad I didn't get stuck with this radio, and for a few dollars more the Midland is a much better value.Received my radio a promised. Takes about 5 min to set up, and that includes the call to NOAA to get your local area weather code. Very easy and intuitive set up. Very well thought out design, user friendly. I was suprised that it has an extendable antenea (but it also comes with a small wire antenea for those who prefer). AM reception is decent, FM is OK. Sound quality is well...kinda what you'd expect from a clock radio.. Then again, I realized I wasn't buying a stereo.. I think this will serve it early warning purpose well and I am happy with the product. I recommend and am considering buying several of these for Holiday gifts for my loved ones...I bought this radio from Target for under $30! Easy to program and the alerts are timely indeed! Only problem...can't find replacement power cord. My cat chewed the original one and the batteries don't last long. Othewise, the radio's a valuable asset.Save 33% Off
S/N 70802840PH.There's currently a Tornado Watch issued in my county (019163), but the WATCH indicator light on my radio display is not working. I changed the setting from SINGLE COUNTY to ALL COUNTIES, and still nothing. Everything else works fine. Not sure if my unit is defective, or if I'm doing something wrong. Sent a note to Emerson's online 'help' page. Giving them 2 days to advise before I take the unit back to the store (Target).
