Roxicosly Loud Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker, Vibrating Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers/Hard of Hearing/Deaf/Teens, Dual Alarms with 7.5’’ Large LED Display, USB Charger, Dimmer, Snooze & Battery Backup

My 10-year old vibrating alarm clock stopped working. I shopped around and bought this one. I seldom write reviews. But I am so satisfied that I'd like to share my experience with everybody.I hope that the manufacturer reads reviews, as I'll mention one thing that I hope they can take into consideration when they design their next model in the future.Pros:1. This alarm clock uses two AAA batteries as back-up during power outage. AAA batteries are cheaper and less bulky tnan 9V battries that my old alarm clock used to use.2. The display is bigger and brighter than my old alarm clock's display.3. I really like the DST function. It works like this: You first set the clock time to your local Standard Time. Then in March when DST begins, you push the DST button. It adds one hour ("springs forward") to the clock time. In November when DST ends, you push the DST button again. It subtracts one hour ("falls back"). There is a small indicator on the screen to tell you if it is in DST mode.I wish that the DST function can be automated. But I imagine that it'll make the cost higher. At this price point, I am happy enough with this simple button.4. It has two alarm buttons ("Alarm 1" and "Alarm 2") so that you can set two different alarm times. I only need one to wake me up in the morning. But some people may find the second alarm time useful.5. The vibrator works as advertised. It shakes me out of my bed. I don't use the ringer. So, I can't comment on that.Cons:1. There are two buttons, "Alarm Pause" and "Alarm Off". When the alarm goes off in the morning, you press "Alarm Pause" to stop the alarm for the day. It will go off again tomorrow morning. If you press "Alarm Off", it turns off the alarm completely. That is, the alarm won't go off until you turn it back on by pressing some other button. So far, so good.Here is the problem: These two buttons are right next to each other. So, in the morning, the alarm goes off, you get out of the bed, still kinda sleepy, you want to press the "Alarm Pause" button to stop the alarm. But if your finger slips and presses the "Alarm Off" button by mistake, then you'll wake up the next morning 2 hours late, wondering why the alarm didn't go off.My suggestion to the manufacturer: When you design your next model, consider relocating the "Alarm Off" button to an entirely different place. I'd suggest move it to the right side, next to the "Ring/Vib" button.I still give this product 5 stars, because I consider this shortcoming quite minor. I'll simply make the habit of checking the "Alarm On" indicator on the display every night before I go to sleep.

Bought this for my son when he went to college because his phone alarm wasn’t waking him up. This did the trick!

This clock was great. It didn't take a lot of time to figure out how to work it; it took hardly any time at all to set up. It was just as loud as the other clocks I've tried, but the vibrating rumble device is what sets it apart for me -- it made a HUGE difference when it came to waking me up! The other alarm clocks I tried, I just slept through the alarms. The rumble is just the extra bit of noise and rattling I need to wake up. I put the rumbler on my shelf where it would really rattle and make a ton of extra noise.HOWEVER, it broke after a year and three months. It WAS a great alarm clock, I loved it. First, the rumble device stopped working. Which was disappointing, but the clock itself was still good. BUT, a couple of weeks later, half the display went dark. Another week later, the entire display went dark. It still makes noise every morning but I can no longer set the time. I never dropped it, jolted it, smashed it, it just sat on my bookshelf. Kind of a bummer because this clock was great, but alas, not everything is made to last.P.S. -- I never used it to read the time, just as a morning alarm, so I can't speak to whether it's good as a clock. I will say, though, the numbers were VERY bright at night, enough to dimly illuminate my room -- if you prefer a dimmer clock, you might not like this. I personally didn't mind it.

Clock worked great, however at 3 years old now the lights on the display are going bad one by one. So hard to read the actual time.

My granddaughter asked me to get this for her because she has a difficult time getting up in the morning. IT WORKS VERY WELL!

Like the big bold number display.

First unit had a jammed in volume button, I haven't hooked up the replacement yet, but it seems fine. Things happen, no big deal.I had a Sonic Bomb before this thing, which is my basis for comparison. I had it for several years. Recently it started to occasionally just not go off and I wanted something that looked less tacky.Pros:It looks a lot nicer/normal. The numbers are bigger. Changing the time is MUCH easier. It's normal, but the Sonic Bomb is, dumb. You have one button to change the time, it only controls the minute. For example, if you want to set your alarm for 6:00am, but you pass it, you must go through every minute of a 24 hour day until you get back around to 6:00am, one minute at a time. You can hold the button, and it does have a "fast" button to help. But too often you will use the fast button and pass the time. Even with the fast button, it take entirely too long to set a time.Cons:This is not nearly as loud, and the bed vibrator is not nearly as powerful. So far, I think it will suffice though. On loudness, it's honestly not a lot louder than most alarm clocks. I can't hear it from my unfinished basement with it upstairs if I'm down there when it goes off. With the Sonic Bomb, you couldn't ignore it! On the vibrator, even though it's not as powerful, but a large margin, again like with the sound, the Sonic Bomb is just on another level. That said, it's plenty enough of a vibration mixed with the alarm to jar me awake.If you're coming from a normal alarm clock needing something with a little extra oomph, I think this will work just fine for you. I have a sleep disorder and can sleep through alarms and even turn them off without remembering. I don't feel like this is going to happen with this unit.If you're hearing impaired, depending on the degree, it might be wise to look at something else. I don't know the db rating on this, but the Sonic is around 110db. If this one dies, I'll try to find another in the same ballpark, but the Sonic is stupid ugly for an adult bedroom, and frustrating to use.Other thoughts:I won't be using the USB charger. From reading reviews on this and similar alarm clocks, I would avoid using the USB charger for your phone. Newer phones can take a lot of power if it's made available to them. Most phone chargers that put out those voltages cost as much as this alarm clock. I wouldn't count on the internal protection of this alarm clock to keep it from burning itself out. There are all kinds of cheap plug splitters if outlets are an issue for you.The pegs for the "stand" that come out of the back don't fit/align correctly in any orientation. You don't really need them... Just thought it was worth mentioning.
