5.0 out of 5 stars It does is job well, that is.. WAKING YOU UP., September 15, 2006

This review is from: Sonic Alert SBD375ss Sonic Boom Dual Alarm Vibrating Alarm Clock (Health and Beauty)

I'm a student at college, and normally in High School I either don't hear my alarm or I turn it off without even waking up. After getting this alarm I haven't had much problems getting up. I use both the pillow shaker and the beep. The pillow shaker is enough to wake me up a point where I can hear things but still in a light sleep, and the loud beeping noises does the final blow by making me annoyed enough to move around and find the snooze button (which is very small, but there is a "bump" on the button when you are trying to find it and hit it. But either way, once you are pretty much awake, and know that in college missing classes might screw you up for the semester... you tend to get up really fast after the alarm goes off. I normally can get up about an hour before classes with this clock :)

My bed is lofted on the top, and the wires are long enough to be plugged in and some slack for the shaker in my pillow, great product :)

It is true that is looks cheap and seems to be lacking in the materials department. But the function outweighs the look of the alarm clock. If you don't know what kind of alarm clock to get and you are afraid of over sleeping... You can't go wrong with this :) There is a dial to change the tone of the beeping from low to high, and a volume control dial from Off to 10.

First few times, the pillow shaker might scare you a bit... Recommend testing it while awake to get used to the vibration :)

Hopefully your roommate also has the same classes, since it could wake him/her up... depending how they sleep.

2.0 out of 5 stars Even More Disappointing than Wake Assure, December 25, 2005

By 

MTJones (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I wrote a review of the Wake Assure bed shaker/alarm clock expressing my disappointment with its performance. That alarm clock's shaker died within the first year (under warranty) and then once more after the warranty expired, forcing me either to replace the shaker or go with a new product entirely.

I went with a new product entirely: the Sonic Boom bed shaker/alarm clock. I am a hearing-impaired graduate student. I sleep far too little to count on waking up naturally; I need something to kick me out of bed, and I figured a powerful shaker underneath my pillow would do just the trick.

And what a job this alarm clock did! Until the shaker died 3 months after I purchased the clock.

Yes, it's still under warranty. But it's just a freaking bed shaker. Why do two companies have so much trouble getting such a basic thing right? I find myself thinking that these shakers might be engineered to fail. Little else explains why they cost $35 a pop when the alarms are only $45 total. The replacement shakers are quite a windfall for these companies, I bet. In any case, the USPS is making a mint off of me ($10 to mail the alarm back!).

Buy at your own risk. It's no more reliable than Wake Assure. You'll be spending repair money out the wazoo.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will wake you up!, July 19, 2006

My 19 yr old daughter can sleep through most alarm clocks! Well, that has changed. After receiving this clock, she has not been late for college or work. Finally! The only complaint is that it also wakes up her roommates.
