Tools and Hardware Reviews of Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels, Aqua
Customer Review: Wakey wakey
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered Clocky to awaken someone who is terminally incapable of getting out of bed in the morning. IT Review: Warning!If you think wheels are defective READ THIS REVIEW!!!Summary: 5 Stars Update:
Please disregard my erroneous critical review claiming this item defective!!!!
Please learn folks-
EVERY TIME you change Clocky's batteries, you MUST set up the wheels! For example, if you want the wheels to go off RIGHT AWAY AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE ALARM GOES OFF, YOU MUST ,
as per the manufacturer FAQ: "Note that Clocky will not move until a minute after the snooze button has been pressed. THIS MAY BE CHANGED by pressing the 'a' button two times rapidly and then pressing the 'm' button to customize your Clocky's snooze time.
try pressing the 'a' and 't' buttons on the top simultaneously to operate the test mode. If your Clocky is functioning properly the display would be on and the wheels will start to move."
I repeat: this item is wonderful and is working well!
Customer Review: We love Clocky - even if he is a battery hog :)
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for our sons who are notoriously difficult to get out of bed in the morning. Well, they hate/love Clocky because Clocky wakes them up! Clocky does exactly what it says, gives you a chance to wake up to a normal alarm clock, then gets more upset until he finally jumps off of the dresser/table/whatever and runs around the room until you catch him and shut him off.
The negatives we've found with Clocky is that he is a battery hog AND sometimes is difficult to set to the right time, you really have to follow the directions carefully the first few times to make sure you have it set correctly. He has been able to jump off of our furniture from 4 feet onto laminate flooring, though I don't think it's a good idea to do that all the time. A normal height bedside table works fine and make sure there is a clear area for him to run around (or, like I do, shove enough crap out of the way where the only place he can run is under the bed so they have to crawl under to catch him). The boys really do like him, though they have hidden him a few times :) They've also enjoyed setting him up in unsuspecting guests rooms - just make sure your guests have a good sense of humor. We're buying another Clocky for our girls who are getting to that age where they no longer want to wake up with the crack of dawn - and so it goes.
Customer Review: Wrong color shipped
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered the item in aqua, it arrived in mustard yellow. The mistake was discovered too close to New Year's, and I ended up paying extra for express shipping of the (hopefully) aqua-colored item.Customer Review: clocky review
