Emerson Smartset Clock Radio

Pros: Automatic reset, large LCD screen, smartset technology
Cons: Too big, hard to keep clean

It will go off if the power comes back on within the 60 minute time frame the alarm would be going off for. The auto set is really cool and is easy to see from across the room at night.
