RETRAK / EMERGE ETMOUSER Retractable Optical Mini Travel Mouse Review



I had a similar product for over 3 years - excellent quality and comfortable for small hands.
The new one I just bought in 2009 doesn't work.
Too bad. The store doesn't honor the warranty. Probably best to buy this one directly from the manufacturer.

Emerson Radio Hot Wheels HW800 Snore Slammer Alarm Clock Radio (Red/Black) Review


My 5 year old step son absolutely LOVES his alarm clock. It's so easy for him to use and it actually works!!! He wakes up with it every morning and gets himself ready for school. He knows how to turn it on at night and off in the morning. Plus it's "cool" too because it's a car. The alarms are loud, but he needs that to wake up in the morning. He loves that he's a big boy now! I DEFINITELY recommend this alarm. And the red glow acts as a nightlight too!

Emerson Radio Hot Wheels HW500 Turbo Talkers Two-Way GMRS Radios (Red/Black) Review


Bought for my son's 5th bday. Decent sound, decent coverage -- a good bet for the price.

(1) You have to hold down a button to turn on, and off: that's handy so you can control when it's on to ensure battery doesn't run down unduly;

(2) You need to take the time to slowly show your child that they press a button to talk, and THEN NEED TO RELEASE BUTTON to hear. This is actually good practice on turn-taking, and following a process.

Recommended.

I didn't realize it was mono , not stereo, thus the dvd player gets only the white cord plugged in :(...... the red just dangles in the wind.
Then it has a 2" darker area running horizontal. So not too thrilled...

But all it all its cute for my 4 year old girl... they love it.

Emerson iTone iP550 Portable Stereo System for iPods (Silver) Review


I can't recommend this stereo to anyone. I first purchased the iTone E600Bk. I got it to use at work and it has great sound, but it's not a portable unit. There is no handle, and the dock sticks out on the front and I was afraid I might damage it taking it to and from work. So I bought the iP550 as a replacement. It doesn't even come close to the 600. The sound is shallow and flat and there are no adjustments. What a waste. The only good points about the 550 are it's light weight and it has a handle. Save your money and if you want good sound and don't have to have a portable unit, get the iP600.

Barbie Petal BAR900 MP3 Player Review


I bought this (1GB version) so my 4 year old could listen to Disney soundtracks and I could listen to the news in the car on our 30 minute commute. It was easy to load songs from my Media Player Library (CD's I had ripped onto my computer) to the unit. I didn't like that it doesn't stick with the playlist order, but she doesn't care. It would be better for her if all it did was play music - she gets into the menu by mistake and I have to fix it for her because she can't navigate the menus. If she sticks to only the play button she can do it herself ("play" turns it on and advances through whatever menu it starts on - if you have it on the music menu and hit play several times it will start the music playing). It will be something she can grow into, but by then, may be obsolete. Works for us for now.

Emerson iC172 iPod Dock Alarm Clock Radio Review


Since I just got it, I'll try to post a followup review in a few weeks.
There seems to be only 1 review on this product (everywhere, believe me I looked) and I have been tracking this for a long while to see if more review would come but alas. The price was down to $49 and since I had a 10% coupon I thought the time was perfect. I was so dubious I had to download and read the entire manual online before visiting the store to check it out. The manual made it even better than I first thought - it just doesn't make sense that the price was so low.
To be honest I guess the biggest hesitation I had about buying this was the fact that, being a gadget freak, a brand like Emerson isn't exactly one that gets me excited to covet said product. I have never owned anything with this brand.
Having said that - these are the features that changed my mind (ranked by importance):
- projection clock - the one that I had really been coveting was an Oregon Scientific one that projects during the day as well, looks really sleek, when it alarms you wave at it and it stops. It does the 180 to reverse display in case needed. And yes, atomic time was cool too for all the obvious reasons - but guess what, it costs $119. It didn't matter how much I told myself that I was 'worth it' - I just couldn't justify spending that much for something that does just one thing. No radio, no dual alarm (I think), no in/out jack. THIS ONE has all that, the projection is bright compared to my old one (I did a side by side) and the focus adjust works great. I am visually impaired so this was important. But wait, theres more!
- IPOD mode - a lot of the made for IPOD products out there do not have a projection clock. That's a deal breaker for me - so that starts to narrow the selection even further. This one has adapters for the various generation ipods and for added measure it has a line in (for shuffle or other mp3 players). So what made me give it 4 instead of 5 stars is the fact that the dock is not made for IPHONE. And I knew that when I bought it. Having said that, if you don't care to miss calls while charging, then just put it in airplane mode. Ah, but this is where the line in comes handy for me - I can't miss phone calls (because of work), so if I don't care about charging my IPhone, I connect it to the line in and voila! no more interference (the wire I use is long enough to keep the phone away from the clock). SO for IPhone, to charge - put in the ipod dock, to use - connect to line in. Its like, whoever designed this product read my mind or was in the exact predicament I was in - I really feel that ( in case (s)he happens to read this review. p.s. this product better be reliable! )
- The sound quality is decent - I mean for the price, its not really fair to compare it to the Logitach 5.1 surround setup that I have on my laptop with a Creative Audigy sound card. Like the previous reviewer, I listened to a couple of other made for IPOD gadgets and they were all pretty awful and the one that sounded decent was in the $150 - 300 range. This one to me sounded better when it was louder. The bass could be better BUT again its really not that bad. If you are such an audiophile, you probably won't feel bad spending a few hundred dollars but I bet you probably will not get all the features this $45 has.
- The dual alarms, the weekend, weekday, 7 day alarm mode, the Smart Set, Sleep Mode, headphone jack and backup battery got thrown in too and it still $45! Depending on who you are, these could be nice to haves or absolute musts. I'll take 'em - all of them! I heard horror stories about atomic clocks being iffy on the receiver's strength or the signal's strength relative to your location - so this Smart Set fixes that issue. Lets just hope that the president doesn't change the DST again in a long while - but given that this contraption is already a swiss army knife masquerading as a bedside clock I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to adjust for future changes like that as well ,like the way Iphone does firmware updates...ok maybe not.
- Can't wait to try the hand wave snooze thing tomorrow when the 'weekend mode' on Alarm2 goes off at 9. Whee!

So the biggest gamble for me is gong with a brand I haven't used before. I am hoping to be lucky, my last projection clock radio is a no name brand JWIN and it has always been reliable since I got it as an elephant gift 6 or 7 years ago. I am so hesitant to replace it - but the lure of smart set, ipod and the 'wave' upgrade (not to mention the price point) caused me to cave. I guess once you use a projection clock you can never go back - so my little girl will get the old one in her room. (unless they can develop one that tells you the time when you want without you having to open your eyelids - kekeke, yes I am lazy, but apparently not lazy enough to write a short review).
Heck I'm on a roll, I'll continue on - what does it NOT have that I wish it did (as if all the features for $45 wasn't enough) - a smaller footprint like the Scientific Oregon, a weather sensor, a remote, a clapper, a kitty litter box cleaner, a masseuse...just to emphasize how absolutely silly it is to expect more for this price >.< I'll just be thankful if its reliable for a few years.

Emerson iTone iP500 Portable Audio System for iPods (Silver) Review


Total thumbs-down on this product. Sound quality was terrible, which surprised me, because other reviewers had had nice things to say about it. The straw that broke the camel's back was the adapter that was supposed to fit the iPod Nano. It simply did not work. The only way we could connect the Nano was without any adapter, and that didn't look or feel right, too fragile. I spent a little more on the Altec Lansing iM600, which sounds fantastic, although that product's clock/alarm clock, supposedly integrated to the iPod's, is bad engineering. for one, you set the alarm and you have to leave the unit on and there's a hum you have to listemn to all night. We're keeping the iM600 for the sound, but using a little clock radio for the alarm clock. Too bad we couldn't find a unit that did everything for the $100 we spent.

Emerson iP100SLA Portable Sound System with Digital Clock and Alarm Functions Review


In 2007, my son received the Emerson iP100SLA Portable Sound System with Digital Clock and Alarm Functions as a Christmas present from his aunt. He seemed happy with it.

Just this morning, I found it out on the patio. He had left it there after using it in our laundry room (yet another thing he failed to put up after using it, but I digress...). I now have an iPhone, and wondered if it worked with it as well. I also noticed it has an AM radio option. I have a favorite talk radio show that I listen to when I can, but not as frequently as I like. This unit is small and compact, and knew it would fit next to my computer without being an intrusion on my workspace. I tested whether my iPhone fit. YES. I played some music and WOW! Nice clear and booming sound. AM/FM radio is a much appreciated plus, along with the alarm feature. Low profile and cool look add to it's attractability. I was impressed.

I came to this site to see the cost, as I'd like to purchase one for myself. Imagine my surprise when I saw the low, one star rating. I read the review, and thankfully I have not seen the issues the other person encountered. As I stated earlier, my son has had and used this over a year, so the fact that I am a "newbie" to using this is not the issue. I tested the power ON/OFF button and it works as it's supposed to. I don't mind the bright LED light.

From what I've seen and experienced, it is a great unit. I am impressed. Now, hopefully my son can be bribed...errr...persuaded to give this one up? Somehow, I doubt it.

My son recieved this for his 3rd birthday in April. We were looking for a cd player for his room so he could listen to soft music at bedtime. Sometimes we turn up the volume during play time and there is (what's supposed to look like) a key in the ignition that he can turn and the announcer will interupt whatever cd is playing to say something like 'Gentleman start your engines' then you hear a racecar speed away - He LOVES this! He's a big fan of the Cars movie, that's the whole theme of his room and this boombox fits right in.

I bought 1 for my oldest son as his first radio. With Florida weather- he loves checking it out. In a power outage we used it to listen to our local TV channels and the weather band. Later we went back to Wal-mart and bought 3 more. We keep one in our camping gear & my husband keeps one in his work vehicle. These are great little radios for music & the TV channels. We are close to a huge city and even pick up other nearby stations. These are well worth the money. Enjoy!!!!

Emerson iTone Clock Radio for iPod (Black) Review


This has to be one of the lousiest products I have ever used. This was given to me as a gift, and I will just be taking it right to the goodwill store. The clock does not set itself as advertised. The buttons are really plasticky. The on-off button doesn't seem to work. But the worst problem is the sound quality.

This is meant to be an iPod speaker dock. It docks, and it plays through the speakers, but it sounds like you are holding a very fluffy pillow over the speakers. Just to be sure there wasn't something wrong with the amplifier, I connected a set of external speakers via the headphone jack, and it sounded fine that way. So its not the amplifier, or the ipod connection at all. Just the speakers. I didn't expect a Bose experience or anything, but the sound was just horrible and unlistenable. Half of the music was inaudible. Worthless.

This is from Emerson- that bastion of mid-80's woodgrained crappy clock radios and cheap walkmans that you could find at the CVS, but now they have the word "Research" attached to their name. Right. Just because it has an ipod dock doesn't mean it sounds good.

Do not purchase this item. It is crap.

Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology Review


i had a small LED clock radio i had purchased at a retail store on sale sale for $9.99 6 weeks ago. well, you get what you pay for and it is true with the clock radio. it started to go, first the alarm was touch and go and the stations just had a white noise, so i tossed it out and ordered the Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with Smartset Technology, even though i read some negative reviews and alot of positive ones, I came to my conclussion to make the purchase, and it arrived 4 days before the due date. I opened it up and plugged in the clock radio and the numbers just went wild and set to the right time zone which is EST., so far so good. I then set the dual alarm and tested it out, it works perfectly. The numbers are large enough to read across the room at wee hours of the morning when you are groggy & vision isn't focused. the clock radio is DA' BOMB, "creme de la creme"!
I am impressed with the fast ordering and immediate shipping. I never had any problems ordering from amazon or any of the merchants. I highly recommend this product 100%.

OK down to business to those of you who are technology challenged,
about the clock radio not setting right, you know there is a time zone button you press and the arrow button to display the time zone, here is the instructions for "in a rush set-up":

1. Plug it in and extend AC cord fully (pkug in all the way) as it also serves as your intenna.

2. The display will automatically set the time, monthe, date, and day correctly for the Eastern Time Zone(2).

3. If you live in a different time zone, hold the "TIME ZONE" button and press either the "DOWN" or "UP" buttons to select your own time zone.

1 is for Atlantic, 2 is for Eastern Standard Time, 3 is for Centeral, 4 is for Mountain, 5 is for Pacific, 6 is for Yukon (Alaska), & 7 is for Hawaii.



When the correct zone number appears in the display, release the buttons and the correct time, month, date, and day will appear.

but you must read the owners manual carefully!!

I don't see anything wrong with this clock radio, the only thing i see is electronic challenged people.


also for those of you that say the volume is low when you have it cranked up., if you clean the corn out of your ears, you'd probably hear it better.

or you all just got the bad batch.

Emerson PD5098 Portable Radio CD Player Review


This little machine only cost me about $25, so it did just what I expected it would do for that price. I took it to the beach with me and it worked perfectly when playing CDs and the radio. I got good reception from the stations. While it doesn't get as loud as I would have liked, the sound at lower volumes was good and pretty clear. However, when on maximum volume, the sound was kind of muddy. Also, when playing CDs, the player was kind of sensitive. The CDs tended to skip with minor movement of the player. It runs on AC, which has a decent length of cord, or 6 size C batteries. I put in 6 fresh batteries (Energizer) and after 4 hours of CD playing and 4 hours of the radio, the batteries were still going strong.

If you're looking for something small, lightweight, and just enough sound for a small room, bedroom, or the beach or something, then this should work fine.
