 Change of life! Aug 08, 2006
By Relieved Mom
My 19 year old son was always a very hard sleeper. Throughout his school years, we would have shouting matches in the morning trying to wake him up to get to school on time. Mornings were always chaotic and seemed to get off on the wrong foot! We had even tried medication prescribed by his physician to try to help him change his sleep habits. This failed miserably.
When he moved out and went out into the workforce, he had trouble keeping jobs because he was always reporting late to work. Which meant he constantly had trouble paying his bills now that he was living on his own.
One afternoon, he asked us if there wasn't something we could buy that could "shock" him each morning to wake him up. As a last ditch effort to help him, I decided to browse online for something that could "shock" him awake.
I discovered this clock and decided to try it. To get to the point, he has not reported late since I gave him the clock. Thank you Sonic Boom!!

It works... Mar 27, 2006
By W. B. Halper
Putting it politely, this thing can wake the dead. The tone and volume are adjustible and set (im)properly can sound roughly like a cross between nails dragging across a blackboard and a cat being fed into a meat grinder. Combine the bed shaker and a volume control that can be turned up to an ungodly level and you're not going to be the most popular person in the dorm...but you'll never miss an 8am class again. Just don't turn it on on weekend mornings.
For normal sleeping people, the volume can be turned down and the bed shaker disconnected.

Extremely happy with it- does just what we needed. Mar 23, 2007
By Chaim Gottesfeld
"cgott42"
I bought this for my 13 year old to be able to wake up for school (6:30am) and not wake up his little brother who sleeps in the same room together with him.
It works like a charm, one of the best things I've bought (now I don't have to wake up then to wake him up!)
i.e. we use the vibratiing mechanism, slipped under his pillow- it goes bananas - no way to oversleep.
We don't use the sound alarm (as mentioned) so I can't really comment on that other than the fact that it is LOUD.
My one gripe with the product is that the vibrating mechanism literally goes bananas shaking and if my son doesn't wake up immediately it ends up falling on the floor. When it shakes (convulses) on the floor it makes too much noise - defeating the purpose. As a simple work around, we're planning on sewing/taping the pillow shut so that the mechanism can't slip out and onto the floor.
For this reason I rated it 4 out of 5 (instead of a full 5 stars).
But I'm very happy with it and planning to get one for my oldest daughter.

 Works but cheaply made Aug 29, 2006
By Thomas F. Meggison
Excellent in what it is designed to do. However, the base is too small and tips over VERY easilly. The overall construction is very lite duty, you must be careful with it. I am going to glue the base to something more substantial. Other than that works great.

Great alarm for those hard of hearing Mar 18, 2007
By Jeanneski
I purchased this alarm w/vibrator for my 85 year old mother who is hard of hearing. She is so hard of hearing that she would sleep through 3 alarms going off at the same time--a buzzer, a radio on LOUD & and second alarm buzzer! With this new Sonic Boom Loud Vibrating Alarm Clock, if the buzzer doesn't wake her (and it's pretty loud), the unit's vibrator that is under her mattress pad will wake her for sure. This is a great product!!
