Loud Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker, Vibrating Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers/Hard of Hearing/Deaf,Dual Alarms, 7.5’’ Large LED Display, Dimmer, USB Charging Port, Plug-in with Memory Function

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.

This alarm clock does exactly what it promises. It’s very loud, and the bed shaker is incredibly effective. The display is clear and easy to read, and setup was simple. It’s perfect if you struggle to wake up or need something dependable for early mornings. Definitely one of the best alarm clocks I’ve owned.

It's load enough to wake my heavy sleeper son but I have had louder ones. It is not a quite cheap one but it's also not the loudest one I owner being a previous heavy sleeper myself. It is a nice size that doesn't take up much space on the nightstand and is somewhat easy to setup. It is bright enough to easily read. Overall 4 out of 5 as it could be a little louder. The shaker never worked for me or my son so maybe it's just us?

ADHD Sleeper Approved! Thank heaven! This worked on Day 1. My 12-year-old has ADHD. Before this, Alexa could scream at full volume for 10 minutes and he still wouldn’t budge. This alarm woke him up immediately. No yelling, no repeating myself, no chaotic morning. Just up and moving. One less executive-function task I have to carry. A few notes: I actually think the sound is irritating, which is perfect because it cuts through sleep fog. They must have updated the design. Older reviews complained that the snooze and off buttons were too close together. On mine, the snooze button is about the size of a quarter and easy to distinguish, you really can’t mix them up. If you have a kid who sleeps like a brick and mornings are a battle, this thing is a game changer. Edit: Had to take down to 3 stars. It works great but the "off" button literally turns the alarm off. It does not auto activate the next day. I have two ADHD kids. I literally don't have the capacity to double check that the alarms are set. I know for some that may seem like a simple task but when you're managing an entire household and provide an external scaffolding and all of the other things that go along with ADHD kids, you need solutions that work all the time. Not just when you remember

This alarm clock is pretty awesome it’s easy to use brightness & visibility I love that it has piece that you can put on your pillow or on the back of your bed & it vibrates lol it’s very loud the sounds when it’s on the back of the bed it wakes me up in a instant def helps so I def recommend this alarm clock

good product, works as described

The sound is not that loud but the shaker OMG crazy how good it is. It wake me up every time

This clock works very well. I bought it for my son who would wake up to his regular alarm clock at all and would sleep through the sound of the alarm ringing (I tried a couple of different ones with varying sounds, none worked). He would end up getting up late for everything. He can't do that with this clock. The bed shaker has him up and going the moment it goes off and he hasn't woken up late since we started using it. If you are or know someone who is a very heavy sleeper, this is the clock to get.

The overall look of this alarm clock is really good. It has it all and everything works well. Every feature is easy to use and set. This is important as I had past alarm clocks which were complicated to use so you never get to use its features. The variable brightness of the display is actually useful as past clocks were either too bright or not bright enough at night. The sounds of this clock are excellent, also for heavy sleepers, I am not one of them but for people that have a hard time to get up, this will really work as the shaker really shakes you up. The USB charger charges well for Cells ant Tablets. It also has a power failure feature in case power goes out. The alarm clock is not too big as to take a lot of space and yet it is solid and the numbers are big for visibility. So overall an excellent alarm clock for the price with plenty of user friendly features......Frank

Everything worked as intended like the speaker, and the time settings. I was even able to slow charge my phone overnight with it. The only problem I had with it was that the vibrating puck kept slipping out from underneath my pillow and falling to the side of my bed. I wish there was a built in way of anchoring the puck to the bed or a pillow. I worked around this by slipping it into my pillowcase with a fashioned device to keep it in place.

I've been looking for an effective alarm clock for kids for a while now. The alarm clocks I've bought in the past got bad quicker than I anticipated plus they did not do the part. This alarm is very effective and the bed shaker really shakes you out of slumber. It's easy to use, the brightness level is awesome and I love that you can set more than one alarm. My son wakes up in time and is well trained that he gets up now even if the alarm wasn't pre-set. I only wish the USB port could charge faster and that the batteries by themselves could work with the alarm. The batteries only help you to retain the pre-set time if the cable is unplugged. It would have been great to get alarm working with either batteries alone or cable plugged in. Overall, the alarm is a great purchase and very effective. I'm glad about my purchase.
