2.0 out of 5 stars Works, but only for a while., December 28, 2007

By	Brian M. Wise "zymyrgy" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The vibrator function is AWESOME. As long as it works. I actually have a problem with thin walls in the apartment and was waking up neighbors with my alarm clocks - this seemed to be a perfect solution to the problem.

It worked GREAT for about a month; then the vibrator function began spazzing out. And by spazzing out - I mean it would run in the middle of the night. It would short out. It would buzz twice, then quit. Finally, it just stopped working altogether. I troubleshot it, I checked connections, made sure I wasn't dreaming that it wasn't working.

If I wanted a really LOUD alarm clock, I'd just throw the iPod dock I have onto a stereo and crank up the volume. The appearance of this clock isn't all that sexy, either - I bought it because it was the only thing that buzzed the bed in the morning. Now that doesn't work, and I'm out the $30 plus shipping for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product if it works, August 23, 2007

By	S. Lim (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had to get my hands on the second copy before it worked as advertised.
The first one I received couldn't keep the time properly.
It might have been just a defective alarm clock, or it might have been the frequency setting in the back that fixed the new one.
As far as 113 db, I don't have the wherewithal to measure it, but it's far from being deafening or absolutely startling.
However, along with the alarm, which is louder than any other alarm I've heard, and the vibrating device underneath the bed, the combination should be enough for even the deepest sleepers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wakes you up but has some glaring limitations, May 13, 2008

By	Alan Rosenlicht "Jack of no trade" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This alarm clock is an industrial strength solution to your need to wake up on time. It's loud and the vibrating alarm works nearly as well if you don't want all that noise. However, it has one drawback that's just a little too big to overlook. The alarm never times out and won't stop going off until you shut it off. A couple of times I've hit the snooze button and launched myself out of bed a short time later, forgetting to completely shut off the alarm. When it came back on I was in the shower and it kept ringing the full 5 minutes or so until I got out of the shower and was able to shut it off. I live in an apartment building and this sort of thing will not endear me to my neighbors. Imagine if I had just rushed out of the place without showering: the alarm would have been blasting away for hours on end.

I have one other beef with the unit I got. It runs way fast if you set the clock for 24 hour display (23:30 instead of 11:30 pm). I had just gotten mine and soon discovered that the clock was gaining ten minutes every hour. I really didn't want to deal with shipping it back, so I tried setting it to normal time display and discovered that it keeps perfect time with that setting. I kept it and it's done its job, but it can't be that hard to build these things to time out and I wish they had thought of that before I got mine.Sonic SBB500SS
