Title: Nice, if and when it works!
Product review: This was my second Emerson CKS3516. I very much liked my first one, but it failed to function after a power outage in our neighborhood, although no other electrical or electronic devices in the house were harmed. I purchased another, through Amazon.com. The tuner was of such low quality that our favored, local NPR station could not be pulled in with a legible signal, even though every other radio in the house (including the first Emerson CKS3516) receives this signal with no trouble and with great clarity. This deficit caused me to return the radio. I read online reviews, and discovered that many buyers complained about non-functioning radios, many breaking within the first few months of use. The features are wonderful, but there appears to be no reasonable expectation for a reliable product. That is a shame, since the time projection system is a rare, but useful, feature.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
