What's great about it: easy function
What's not so great: loose power cable port
This product originally appealed to me due to the loud alarm and the vibrating disk since I have trouble waking up in the morning from a regular alarm clock. I had high hopes for this product and for the most part it came through. The alarm vibration system worked well if it was placed under your pillow. It did not work so well under the mattress. The alarm tone although very loud does not appear to be an actual 113 decibels. For a more detailed product review visit my blog at gproductreview.blogspot.com

What's great about it: Always wakes you up
What's not so great: Because of the vibrator, you can't place it too far away from the bed
As an architecture major I'm always sleep deprived and my iHome just couldn't do it, then a friend recommended me to get this alarm clock and I'm never late to class anymore, plus I don't wake my roommate up anymore because I can just use the vibrator without the buzzer and it's enough to wake me up. Perfect for college students who live away from home and are heavy sleepers
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: vibration mode really shakes the bed
What's not so great: Snooze button too big lol
Does what it says. And the vibration is much more than I expected. I am a heavy sleeper and difficult to wake but this really does the trick. Just wish the snooze button wasn't so big and easily accessible lol.

What's great about it: Not too expensive and works great!
I have to say I didn't think anything could wake my daughter, but this is the first alarm clock that has. She has been using it now for about 6 weeks and there has only been one time that she woke enough to hit the snooze but doesn't remember doing so. Also, the vibrating part that you put under your pillow along with the noise the alarm makes works great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: vibrates and sure loud
What's not so great: cant go through entire mattress only a topper
i have tried many many alarm clocks and this one will wake you up with the bed shaker. It is extremely loud and the bed shaker really vibrates what is above it within a 2 foot radius when it is under my foam topper.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this for my father, so he would hear the alarm without his hearing aids. He had trouble using the switch that turned the alarm on. He wanted to just get the sound, but the "vibrate only" selection was in between. If buying this for an elderly person, you will also need to consider their sight and fine motor skills.

What's great about it: Does what it is supposed to do - in a major way
What's not so great: Could be priced lower (though Best Buy had the best price around on it)
I was at my wits end for a way to wake up. I can sleep through pretty much anything. Facing losing my job for no other reason than sleeping through alarms, I forked out the dough for this and haven't been late once since. Often times I actually wake up before it goes off to avoid the traumatic ruckus it creates. This is a trauma I would gladly trade for retaining my gainful employment.
I would recommend this to a friend!
