we've tried a few other basic alarm clocks but they all failed to get my deep sleeper out of bed in the morning. Since my 9 year old is into all the interactive toys out there thought this one would be a fun one to try (fingers crossed) My DD loves to 'pet' the clock to see it 'smile', make music. The radio is alright but not the best to find many clear channels but its fine for a kid. We bought this clock and used it for the first time on Sunday. I was suprised that it was loud enough to get my DD out of bed, actually she even woke me up to tell me she couldn't turn it off! The only thing that could be better is if this clock radio was also a cd player. But very happy with this product. My DD is asking for the matching lamp for a holiday gift and I think it just may be under our tree.

I have a daughter who is a VERY heavy sleeper. We had bought her the Hello Kitty teacup alarm clock several years ago and it has woken up my daughter maybe 4 times in 3 years with the 2 options of buzzer or radio. Usually, the alarm woke ME up & I'd have to lie in my bed, waiting for several minutes, hoping that my sleepy girl would wake on her own & shut the thing off. But no...more often than not I had to get up, go to her room & turn it off myself and then wake her. We had tried a couple of other buzzer-type alarms & none of them worked. I saw one of the reviews of this product that said this alarm clock woke even the soundest sleeper & so we thought that we would give it a try.

The clock arrived on 8/17, we did need the instructions to set it, but it really wasn't hard. This alarm has now woken up our sleepy-head girl 9 / 9 times used! It actually works & best of all, it works without my hearing a thing! I think that it's a combination of the arms moving & the feet glowing & various sounds...whatever it is, it works when NOTHING ever has.

The radio isn't great at all but I don't really care because I don't need my 8-year-old listening to the radio. It does come with a small cable that plugs into her I-Pod shuffle & she can listen to her music over the speaker in the clock radio. The clock responds to the music with a little digital display "light dance."
Overall, I would recommend this product

My daughter loves this clock! It's very cute, durable, and fun. We did, however, toss out the directions foolishly thinking that it would be easy to set and turn off. NOT the case! Don't get rid of the directions until you're sure how to operate this product.

Alarm clock functions well, radio is a bit of a bear to tune, more like a 70's radio dial. Daughter sure likes it and that's what counts. It definitely interacts with the lamp, almost kinda spooky!

As I researched Christmas presents last December, I came across the Amazon review about how this clock that stopped working for one family. "It won't happen to me," I thought. It did. The clock worked wonderfully for a few weeks. My child was even able to plug his iTouch into it. Then, one day, about 3 weeks later, it just stopped. Nothing. Hopefully the manufacturer will come through...but working parents don't have alot of time to run around shipping off non-working products and writing letters about alarm clocks!

My daughter saved her own money to buy one of the Room Tech Beingz alarm clocks. It worked for several weeks and than stopped working. I would try to plug it in at another time and it would work again and then stop working at random. When I say it stopped working, I mean it was dark and as if no electricity was getting to it. We took it back to the store and got a new one. I got it all set, the alarm worked great for a few days and then one morning, again it stopped working.

I called Hasbro and with relative ease was told, no problem, we are sorry and we will send another one out to you right away. I thought that was really too easy and of course it was. Instead of a new clock, I received a letter explaining that they were all out of stock and couldn't send it right now. I find that really amazing as I look on the Hasbro website and they appear to be available to order and in fact are listed as "in stock". My opinion - don't waste your money on this unreliable product.

I bought this alarm clock for my daughter when she was starting school (5 yrs), mainly because I found it at a local chain store on clearance for practically nothing and it looked fun. I didn't have high hopes for it but it's a good little clock. My daughter loves it. It has snooze feature, volume control, and choice of wake-up noises (including 3 techno funky robot sounds and radio.) The radio tuner is mediocre, but my daughter hardly used this feature, so it was not an issue. Also, you can listen to the radio with the "mouth" open or closed (where the speaker is,) or plug in your own music player and use it as a speaker. Additionally, if it feels vibrations from other music in the room, it will light up with a fun light show. It does have a backup battery feature. Another fun feature, if you pet the top of it, it smiles.

Part of what makes this an effective alarm clock is that the arms on the side clap on the table top, making a knocking sound as the alarm goes off. It does this a couple of times before actual alarm time to rouse sleepers a bit as well. It's kind of loud. If I were using it for myself, I would probably find it annoying, but for my heavy sleeper daughter, it's great.

It "communicates" with the other Beingz items and has an option to allow them to communicate or not. So if you don't want the clock and the lamp making noises at each other, you can put the communication option to "sleep" without turning off the devices completely. We bought the lamp, which was fun for awhile, but not bright enough to be used as a regular lamp and quickly became an item gathering dust. I would not buy the lamp again.

It has lasted about 3 years and just recently quit working. I echo what other reviewers have said about it when theirs quit--looks dead, like it has no electricity getting to it. However, for the abuse that it has taken (getting knocked off a nightstand, etc.) it has held up well.

I give this 4 out of 5 stars because it just quit working out of the blue with no apparent way to repair it. Plus, for all of it's neat features, I don't think any child's clock should cost more than $50. Regardless, it has been a great choice for us and I would recommend this product.

I bought this for my two daughters when they started school to get them out of bed on time. However, after a while, they began to complain about the robot sounds it uses as the alarm. I heard it. I agree. It's annoying and not fun to hear every morning. I'm using another alarm clock for them until I find another one.

The first time I got this toy I gave it to my 10-year old daughter. She had so much fun with it, she would use it as a music speaker. It was very good and fun to see my daughter have so much fun. Thank you.
