Sonic Alert Large Digital Clock Loud Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers with Snooze Full Range Brightness Dimmer Outlet

After reading the reviews on this alarm clock I decided to order it and check it out for myself and all I can say is that it is worth the price! If you are hearing impaired like myself or just one of those that's hard to wakeup and get going-also like myself-then this is the alarm clock for you! It is VERY loud but you don't have to use the audible alarm, you can use the vibrating alert by itself or you can chose both because it has a switch on the side to select what type of alarm you want to use...you will definitely wake up because this thing works and it does what it is supposed to do well.. I also found that you can adjust the sound of the beeps by turning the tone knob until you get the tone that you prefer and also you can place the vibrating disk anywhere you want that works for you-either under the matress or under your pillow which is where I have mine and you will feel it regardless of how heavy of a sleeper you are.. I highly recommend this alarm clock to anyone that can't hear a normal alarm or for those that are just hard to wake up-this clock is for you! It also has a 9v battery backup just in case the power goes out you still will be awakened at the time you have it set for and it has already worked for me since my power went out once and it didn't affect the clock at all..it also has an adjustment for the display brightness so you can adjust to whatever you prefer.. If you need an alarm clock that is guarranteed to wake you regardless of whether you are hearing impaired or just a heavy sleeper then this is the clock for you-it does what it is supposed to do and does it well!

I'm not one to write a reviews but this one is special. As a heavy sleeper who easily gets used to/sleeps through cell phone alarms, I bought this alarm clock out of desperation so I could wake up through the ridiculous studying hours of grad/med school. I have never looked back. PROS: 1) This little shaking gizmo stays right underneath my pillow, and it WAKES THE DEAD. There is no way you can sleep through this. It is literally death proof. 2) It's focal enough of a rumble that your partner doesn't immediately wake up (they will eventually though, sooooooo turn it off lol). 3) On the one in a billion chance that the shaker doesn't get you up, the LOUDEST (customizable tone) ALARM BEEPING NOISE IN THE HISTORY OF ALARM CLOCKS will most certainly do the trick. Although this feature has been turned off for many years as it was wholly unnecessary. 4) Big screen for the time, can see it from anywhere. Win. CONS: 1) The battery slot doesn't work anymore. I guess that's what happens after over a decade of use. :: shrug :: so I have a backup external battery just in case the power goes out. 2) Adjusting the time/alarm numbers gets bit sluggish. But you get used to it. That is it. My ode to the best alarm clock of all time. May this marvelous contraption shake my lil noggin awake for another eleven years. <3 Read more

This is a great clock. I am a little hard of hearing and my vision is not so great, It's great for me and should be for anyone else. It has a very loud tone and volume with adjustments for both. It has a large and very bright display, also adjustable. It also has a vibrator that should wake anyone but the dead. I don't need to use it, the alarm does a good job. You can use the snooze feature by simply tapping the bar or shut the alarm off, and what's really great is that you can instantly turn it back on and it will be ready to go for the next morning. (This switch could be made a little handier though). The only thing keeping this clock from being perfect is if it had a second alarm so you could also use for other occasions without having to disturb your every day setting.-----I recommend this clock without reservations-----. It is a little pricey, but well worth it. I was a little concerned that being thin that it might be falling over a lot----- No Fear----- It cames with a little arm that you insert at the bottom and it works great. Read more

I'm not blind, or deaf, but still this alarm clock has been a huge lifesaver for me. For years, I have been sleeping through normal alarms. Most alarms designed for "hard to wake" sleepers seem to focus on preventing you from pressing snooze, or emitting even louder or obnoxious sounds. Neither design worked for me, as my main problem was not pressing snooze, but sleeping through the beeping, no matter how loud or annoying it was. I once slept through an alarm that was beeping for over an hour. Before this alarm, the only reliable way for me to wake up was to have someone else nearby who would wake up to the beeping and shout my name at me. This solution was not enjoyable for whoever else was nearby. I was skeptical that the buzzing/vibrating would actually wake me up on its own, but it does. I don't even need to put on the sound. This is wonderful because I can set an early alarm without feeling guilty about waking up my roommates. I also don't have to worry about sleeping through the alarm, unless I turn it off and then fall back asleep... but no alarm can prevent that! The sound, when I have used it, is extremely loud and effective as well. It's nice because you can set the clock so the alarm will be only the sound, only the vibrating, or both combined. Another nice feature is that the vibrating disc has a pretty long cord, so you don't have to be right next to an outlet. The cord is about 3-4 feet long. Also, the time display flashes when the vibrating alarm is going off, so if I've already gotten out of bed and forgot to turn off the alarm, I have a visual reminder to turn it off. Read more
