Tools and Hardware Reviews of Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels, Almond
Customer Review: This can wake the dead.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well I have to say that the second guy that reviewed this clock must really be a coma patient, because if this thing doesnt wake you up, then nothing will.
I am a very deep sleeper. I can sleep through earthquakes, kids, and every other alarm clock known to man. I was habitually late when it came to getting up in the morning. I have have slept through my alarms on most occasions and when woken up, had never even heard them. To put it another way, on a scale of 1 to 10, on how deep one can sleep, I'm a 10.
At one time when I was single, and had no one else to consider, I had a home theater system with a built in alarm function. I would set it to about half volume and set it on a hard rock CD. This would be so loud that I would on occasion fall out of bed, and most times be scared when it went off. If I had a heart condition I would be dead, thats how loud. This is the first and only alarm clock that has come close to giving me that same feeling when it wakes me up. It has a very distinct and random tone, very reminiscent of R2-D2, and it is very loud. To top it off he will run and hide, although this is not what has forced me to get up, it has been the alarm sound itself.
When I first purchased this alarm and tried it out, I allowed it to run and it went to the middle of my California king. I couldnt reach it to shut it off. If this had been a real situation I would have definately been wide awake. Since I have actually begun using it though I have found that I have not given it a chance to run, because as soon as it hits the floor I am on it and awake, as it scares me awake.
The only bad thing is that it runs on batteries, which for me only seem to last a couple weeks. That being said, since I am always on time now it seems like a small price to pay. Would have been a better design if it had built in rechargeables and sat on a dock most of the time.
All in all I totally recommend this Clock.
Customer Review: Too dang loud!
Summary: 2 Stars
Its very 'cute' and well designed except for one major flaw. The sound level is not adjustable and its is way too loud for a day to day alarm clock unless you sleep with ear-plugs on!Customer Review: Wakes me up !
Summary: 5 Stars
Wakes me up everyday really cool alarm clock. One improvement I could suggest is let the back light light up more than three seconds. Overall, this is a great great product and is fun as well.Customer Review: Who likes their alarm?
Summary: 4 Stars
People who are looking for an alarm clock that runs away are not the usual sort of people I think would like an alarm clock... I doubt that most of them would give an alarm clock that fights to wake them up a good review. The first few weeks where this alarm would roll away from me after it went off I felt like I wanted to kill it, but I bought it so that me and my girlfriend would have an easier time getting up in the morning on those days we stayed up late.
Sure, it isnt the best looking alarm clock (hello, it has wheels!!) but it works well for what it does. Mine has lasted over a year with no cracks or breakdowns. I love it (and hate it!! Let me sleep!!).
Customer Review: Works for over sleeping grandson
Summary: 5 Stars
Grandson was stunned to receive this R2D2 off-the-table rolling alarm clock. It was given with a desire for him to be independent in waking up. He acknowledges that it works, and he admires and hates it at the same time. If he can stand the noise and rolling for nine minutes, it will stop.
