RGB Basic Alarm Clock

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.

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!

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.

Apologies for the bad joke. But it does work quite well, I'm the kind of person to sleep through alarms with the phone at max blaring an annoying tone, but this thing vibrating my pillow and beeping insanely loud definitely does the job. Scares me awake yes, but at least it wakes me up so I don't miss out on work. Good option if you need to be woke up.

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.

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.

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.

The LED size rating is weird. I thought I was buying a large-LED clock. It's not. I'm not sure where they got 7.5" LEDs from...they are only 1.75". I thought for a minute maybe it was measured horizontally, but no...the whole housing is only 7" long. Oh well...looking at it now I think they intended to type 1.75" LED, but it got mis-typed. Just a heads up. I'm going to keep this item (unless I find something wrong with it), but I should be able to use it as I intended, despite the smaller-than-expected LEDs. I've changed my rating from a 3 to a 5. I had at three due to the poor description, but in reality, the clock itself is fine. I was hoping for bigger numbers, but the almost 2" high numbers will suffice. I like the LED display...very non-offensive.

Very good
