Sonic Bomb Dual Extra Loud Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker, Black | Sonic Alert Vibrating, Heavy Sleepers, Battery Backup | Wake with a Shake

This clock is getting rather mixed reviews and I was a little worried when I bought my first one about a year ago. I bought it for my son, who was a senior in high school. He slept through all of the alarms that I bought at Wal-mart for him. He would then be late (or not go) to school and the principal would call me to ask where he was. (I swear the principal had me on speed dial!) After I gave my son this alarm he never slept through his alarm again. He did leave school early on numerous occasions (and the principal kept me on speed dial) but an alarm clock can only do so much at helping with parenting. (He graduated, thank God, and uses the alarm to wake-up for work now.) My son's alarm has worked perfectly since the day it arrived, so I had no qualms in deciding to buy one for myself last April. I am hard-of-hearing and I like the vibrating disc that goes under my mattress. It wakes me up right away. I don't even put on the noise--just the vibrator. It works great! It has gained 2 minutes in 5 months. I think people should READ THE DIRECTIONS and set the switch on the back for USA electric currents! My son-in-law and daughter sleep through their alarms all the time--even when they have 2 or 3 of them set! I gave them my Sonic Bomb alarm clock 3 days ago and he has woke up on time every day since! That is why I am purchasing my third one today. I need another one for me. These alarm clocks are great and I highly recommend them to heavy sleepers, hard-of-hearing, or even profoundly deaf people. There are some features the clock has that are not mentioned in the description of the clock: 1) It has battery back-up--so when the electric goes out (ours goes out about 15 times a year) the clock still keeps time. 2) The alarm has the ability to be on just noise--really loud annoying beeping, which can be adjusted for loudness and tone (for hard-of-hearing people who hear some tones and not others)Or you can put it on just vibrate--for people like me who don't like to wake-up with adrenaline pumping through my body. Or you can really juice it up by putting on the noise AND vibrate your bed, which my son and son-in-law both use to wake-up. 3)It also has flashing red lights that go off when the alarm does to help people wake-up. I do not have anything bad to say about the clock. I highly recommend buying one. Just make sure to read the directions pertaining to the switch on the back about setting it for which country you will be using it in. August 9, 2012 Update: All 3 of our alarms are still working great! February 9, 2014 Update: All 3 still working fantastic! The best alarms we have ever owned! August 19, 2021 Update: My alarm is still working great!! Keeps great time and the vibrator is still functioning perfectly!! Wakes me up everytime. I assume my married kids' alarms that I gave them are still working or they would have asked me where to buy a new one, Lol

I bought the Sonic Alert Sonic Boom dual alarm because I’m a very heavy sleeper, and this alarm absolutely does what it’s designed to do. The alarm is extremely loud and impossible to ignore. Even on a lower volume setting, it’s still very effective. The dual alarm feature is really helpful. I can set two separate alarms, which is great for different wake-up times or as a backup to make sure I don’t oversleep. The bed shaker is another big plus — it’s strong enough to wake me up immediately and works well when placed under the mattress. The buttons and display are straightforward and easy to use, and the large numbers are easy to read, even from across the room. Setup was simple, and once set, the alarms are consistent and reliable. Overall, this alarm is perfect for heavy sleepers or anyone who struggles to wake up with standard alarms. It’s loud, effective, and well worth it for peace of mind.

I’ve had this for about a year now and it’s very loud and the only thing that really wakes me up. The rattler sadly broke because I had it rattle on my floor for almost daily for about a year. The alarm still works good enough to wake me up

Wakes me up in the morning, size is a bit big but that's fine, great quality, feels solid and like it'll last a long time, the lights can get quite bright if you're sensivite to light at night like me but the dimmest setting is usually mostly ok. Volume is surprisingly quiet, somehow it still wakes me up better than my phone alarm app which was louder, I think it's the noise. Accuracy is perfect, haven't been off at all. Overall my only complaint so far is that the highest setting for the shaker actually isn't that strong. I usually shove it in my pillow case and leave it there but sometimes when it gets moved to specific places, I can hardly feel it. You'd think that the HIGHEST SETTING would be more tough. I dunno maybe I'm just being picky. Perfect for heavy sleepers!

必ず起きれます 振動がかなり強めですので指定の時間に起床出来ます。 操作性はちょっとめんどくさいですが気になるほどではないです

Small crack in the digital display. Don’t think I want to wait for an exchange as the other functions are ok and I need this alarm now. Hopefully seller can be provide more padding when shipping out item in the future.

BEfore buying this product I checked the product reviews to make sure everything was in order and found a few people were having problems keeping the time, I clicked on the comments page for one of these reviews and found that the cure is to set the thing on the back to 50Hz (if you are in the UK) as it's time-keeping comes from the electricity in the house (you plug it into the wall) and you have to set the thing on the back in accordance to the homes electric (UK = 50Hz)whereas setting this to 60Hz would mean the homes electric and the alarm clock settings didn't match (you'll understand what I mean when you buy this item. Anyway it's very loud and is guarenteed to wake you up, I wasn't sure what to expect from the vibrating attachment but was impressed, it vibrates furiously and if placed under your pillow is guarenteed to wake you, the volume of the thing and the vibration together is definately something you'll wake upto. It's easy to set time and alarm, easy to use the volume etc. I just want to say now this product does not require batteries, there is a slot for a 9V battery but it is not required, as I've said this alarm is powered by the homes electricity all the battery is for is a backup so if the homes electric cuts out or whatever then the alarm will be able to keep track of time, according to the instructions even if the electric was to cut out then the LED screen wouldn't show it would just keep time, if you ask me it's better just giving the battery a miss and re-setting the time when needing to (when unplugged or electricity cuts out)

I live in a duplex, and my tenant upstairs can hear a pin drop, it seems. Me, on the other hand...I've been hearing-impaired ever since having radiation/chemo treatments 15 years ago, and I have to wear hearing aids. When I don't have them in at night, a bomb could go off and I probably wouldn't hear it. Since I wake very early in the morning to go to work (5a.m.) I needed something that would wake me, but without disturbing the tenant. After seeing another review here from a mom who stated that her hearing-impaired son benefitted from this, I decided to try it, and wound up ordering one. Several months later, and I am in love with this alarm. I don't use the sound feature on this one (obviously) but rely on the vibration function in order to get up in the morning. And let me tell you, that vibration is strong! I place the vibrator-extension part under my pillow, and as soon as it starts up, I'm wide awake. There's no way anyone could sleep through it! It's silent, so it doesn't disturb other household members, and it's strong enough to wake anyone from a very deep slumber. (The alarm itself also flashes a red light when the vibration mode comes on, but I tend to not use that since I can't actually see the alarm clock until I sit up.) One tap on the bottom right button shuts off the wake vibration; one tap on top of the alarm gives you a chance to snooze (and you can set the time you want to snooze). AND the instructions on how to set up the alarm are extremely easy to follow (it couldn't even confuse me, and that's saying a lot!). The only thing that I perhaps might give a 'con' to is the clock itself; it's so lightweight that, in an effort to turn off the alarm, one could easily knock it over. I've gotten used to this though...and it's a minor flaw. Overall, for the price, the ease of use, and the reliability, I'd say this is one of the best investments I've made in a long time. Highly recommended. For the price

Hardste wekker op de wereld. Absolute lifesaver voor mensen door wekkers heenslapen. Trilapparaat gebruik ik niet. Maar waarschijnlijk handig als je de buren niet wakker wil maken. Aanrader.
