Vibrating Alarm Clock with Week

The alarm clock is very bright and has pretty color combinations to choose from. The shaker works, but it is not going to literally shake you. It vibrates pretty strongly though, and the alarm gets gradually louder so it does wake me up. I have only used it for about two weeks and haven’t overslept yet, hopefully this will continue to wake me up!

My 10-year old vibrating alarm clock stopped working. I shopped around and bought this one. I seldom write reviews. But I am so satisfied that I'd like to share my experience with everybody. I hope that the manufacturer reads reviews, as I'll mention one thing that I hope they can take into consideration when they design their next model in the future. Pros: 1. This alarm clock uses two AAA batteries as back-up during power outage. AAA batteries are cheaper and less bulky tnan 9V battries that my old alarm clock used to use. 2. The display is bigger and brighter than my old alarm clock's display. 3. I really like the DST function. It works like this: You first set the clock time to your local Standard Time. Then in March when DST begins, you push the DST button. It adds one hour ("springs forward") to the clock time. In November when DST ends, you push the DST button again. It subtracts one hour ("falls back"). There is a small indicator on the screen to tell you if it is in DST mode. I wish that the DST function can be automated. But I imagine that it'll make the cost higher. At this price point, I am happy enough with this simple button. 4. It has two alarm buttons ("Alarm 1" and "Alarm 2") so that you can set two different alarm times. I only need one to wake me up in the morning. But some people may find the second alarm time useful. 5. The vibrator works as advertised. It shakes me out of my bed. I don't use the ringer. So, I can't comment on that. Cons: 1. There are two buttons, "Alarm Pause" and "Alarm Off". When the alarm goes off in the morning, you press "Alarm Pause" to stop the alarm for the day. It will go off again tomorrow morning. If you press "Alarm Off", it turns off the alarm completely. That is, the alarm won't go off until you turn it back on by pressing some other button. So far, so good. Here is the problem: These two buttons are right next to each other. So, in the morning, the alarm goes off, you get out of the bed, still kinda sleepy, you want to press the "Alarm Pause" button to stop the alarm. But if your finger slips and presses the "Alarm Off" button by mistake, then you'll wake up the next morning 2 hours late, wondering why the alarm didn't go off. My suggestion to the manufacturer: When you design your next model, consider relocating the "Alarm Off" button to an entirely different place. I'd suggest move it to the right side, next to the "Ring/Vib" button. I still give this product 5 stars, because I consider this shortcoming quite minor. I'll simply make the habit of checking the "Alarm On" indicator on the display every night before I go to sleep.

I’ve had this clock for a bit over 2 years now. My review sounds extremely critical of it, but it's worked quite well for me and I actually really do like it. I used to sleep straight through the barrage of alarms coming from my phone, Alexa, and old alarm clock about 2 or 3 times a week. And the rest of the time I would always oversleep. With this alarm I haven’t slept through it once, and I only really oversleep whenever I accidentally turn off both alarms when the first one goes off. Pros: ⁃ The bed shaker works fairly well (but it could stand to be a little bit stronger). We have a Sleep Number i8 and I have the shaker positioned in the top corner of the bed (about 18 inches away from the top and left side) between the mattress and base. I can feel it pretty well on my side, but if I’m in the middle of the bed it’s not super noticeable, and you can’t feel it at all on my wife’s side of the bed (although that’s probably a good thing if you don’t roll away from your side while sleeping). The shaker is very loud when it goes off which is nice. You hear it through bone conduction since your head is pressed up against the matter and the sound is traveling straight into your skull through the mattress itself, so it just hits different than hearing other external sounds normally. Hearing the sound of the shaker that way is honestly way more effective for me than the sound of the actual alarm. ⁃ The dimer levels go low enough so the light doesn’t bother my wife at all and it isn’t distracting to me either. It would be nice if you could set it to switch between them at a specific time though. The lowest setting is perfect during the night, but you can’t see it at all during the day unless you are less than like 3 feet away and you’re not looking at it from any sort of angle. ⁃ The alarm is definitely louder than a standard alarm clock, but I expect it to be a bit louder. Cons: ⁃ The small feet on the back don’t do much at all to stop it from falling over ⁃ It’s fairly easy to accidentally turn off the second alarm whenever you’re stopping the first one ⁃ The alarm doesn’t have an auto off. I accidentally set my alarms before traveling one time, and when I got back 3 days later it was still going off ⁃ The cords are a bit short. It doesn’t reach far enough to go from the power strip on the right side of my nightstand, behind the nightstand, and sit on the far end of it. I would prefer to have it far enough away that I can’t reach it without actually getting out of the bed to turn it off.

the best alarm for the dreaded-wake-up individual with a habitual struggle for untimeliness, deep sleep, work/life exhuastion, etc., or just the desperate need to ((( WAKE UP ! ! ! ))) easy setup and alarm setting. minimal buttons- a great feature for constant alarm time changes as i work night shift. i reccomend purchasing the more simple alarm clock with the one color. i choose to keep my alarm across the room so i am forced to get up. the design also allows for placing under pillow. crisp, bright alarm display, adjustable for preferred bedroom ambience. i enjoy the simple yet solid blue color. originally a gift from my mom, i had purchased for a roommate who shared the same waking dilemma as myself. highly recommend. i suggest taking the time to insert the required batteries for any unplugging or potential power outages so that a time reset is not necessary. the same batteries have lasted over a year now. after the first few lightening-bolt-adrenaline-rushed wake-ups, i became accustomed to routinely waking up to the bouncing, vibrating and sounding alarm clock...in my new & improved routine. adjustable alarm volume & lighting display as mentioned. convenient cord lengths. i recommend keeping the vibrating attachment away from edge because it will move and groove!! live in the solution with this fantastic alarm clock!! rockin' game changer!

Very loud. Bed shaker helps someone like me, who will sleep directly through my phone alarm. Wish the cord for the bed shaker was longer so that I could have my alarm further from my bed, I have a tendency to just turn off the alarm and lay there. Also wish there was an option to disable the alarm, like for holidays when I don’t need to be awake at any specific time. There are options to change what days it wakes you up, but none to pause for a week or so

This clock is great. I take medications that will sometimes knock me out and my old alarm, my phone ringing etc would not wake me up. With the vibrating puck does wake me up enough to hear and recognize the alarm going off. I have it placed underneath my sheets in the middle of the bed under my pillows. PROS: ++Large display that is dimmable ++Can set to use 24hr time. Helps when not paying attention and setting alarm for 6am instead of 6pm (18:00) ++The vibrating puck is great and strong enough to wake me up. Also has a long enough cord to place it where I want. ++ Has dual alarms.. helpful to me and I set them 15 minutes apart to make sure I wake up since sometimes it’s hard for me to wake up. ++Has USB power out so you can charge phone or ?? Straight from clock. Though it not a Fast charger. CONS: —Too many small buttons on top. Wishing some of them like button to set clock was on back or side. —Snooze bar too small. When fumbling around trying to hit snooze too easy to hit another button that turns off alarm. Would be better if certain rarely used buttons were moved to back or side, or they were placed closer to the top edges to make snooze bar larger. —The slip on feet… have no idea why they aren’t attached. They slip off too easily. —The battery backup for power failure ONLY keeps time in memory and clock/alarm does not work. So if power goes out when you’re supposed to get up you’re out of luck but when power does come back on… at least you don’t have to reset time. —Runs off a usb power brick so need about 3.5” clearance to plug adapter into wall. Have mine plugged into a power strip but may be problem if trying to plug into outlet behind bed or cabinet. Also uses usb A connector into power adapter instead of being hard wired into it. So it ‘may’ come unplugged. OVERALL: Very pleased with this clock due to the 24hr time format (it is switchable to am/pm) and the strong enough vibration of the puck. The wire for the puck is long enough for placement and I have it placed under my sheets. Do wish it had a rubberized or some other coating on the bottom so it wouldn’t slide around as easily. Like this clock so much that I bought one for my friend and he is also pleased with it. My biggest pet peaves with this clock is the multitude of closely placed buttons and the smallish snooze button and the fact that the battery backup is only to save the time and not operate the clock/alarm. Overall happy with this clock and can deal with the not so good things.

It gets the job done. It’s loud and it does shake the bed. But it weighs nothing and moves all around my nightstand. Any pull or push and it’s on the ground. I’ve had it for about a year and the cord just broke. I won’t be getting it again.

This clock was great. It didn't take a lot of time to figure out how to work it; it took hardly any time at all to set up. It was just as loud as the other clocks I've tried, but the vibrating rumble device is what sets it apart for me -- it made a HUGE difference when it came to waking me up! The other alarm clocks I tried, I just slept through the alarms. The rumble is just the extra bit of noise and rattling I need to wake up. I put the rumbler on my shelf where it would really rattle and make a ton of extra noise. HOWEVER, it broke after a year and three months. It WAS a great alarm clock, I loved it. First, the rumble device stopped working. Which was disappointing, but the clock itself was still good. BUT, a couple of weeks later, half the display went dark. Another week later, the entire display went dark. It still makes noise every morning but I can no longer set the time. I never dropped it, jolted it, smashed it, it just sat on my bookshelf. Kind of a bummer because this clock was great, but alas, not everything is made to last. P.S. -- I never used it to read the time, just as a morning alarm, so I can't speak to whether it's good as a clock. I will say, though, the numbers were VERY bright at night, enough to dimly illuminate my room -- if you prefer a dimmer clock, you might not like this. I personally didn't mind it.
