Customer Reviews of Sonic Alert SB1000ss Sonic Boom Loud Vibrating Alarm Clock with Built In Receiver
Customer Review: Receiver did not work
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this alarm clock to work with a baby monitor signaller made by the same company. When we plugged both of them and turned the receiver function on the clock went crazy: flashing lights, shaking bed, etc. It turns out that "sometimes" there is another signal in the houses electrical system that can interfere with the receiver. The Sonic Alert website said we could send it in and get them adjusted to another at a cost of $5 each plus $7 shipping. We did that, and now when we turn the receiver on it just vibrates and buzzes even if the signaller isn't plugged in.
Otherwise, it's an ugly alarm clock. The vibrating puck doesn't wake my wife up and the light feature gets "stuck" sometimes.
Don't buy it.
Customer Review: Homer Simpson's "Buy me, Buy me, Buy me"
Summary: 3 Stars
This Sonic Boom Loud Vibrating Alarm Clock is really loud and it sounds like that homer simpson's episode where he's a car salesman and there is this emergency hurst vehicle that's for sale and his boss told him that the only thing that works is this stupid siren. So the boss turns it on and the sirens screams, "Buy me, buy me, buy me." The alarm is okay and that vibrator vibrates like hell! Even my woman likes to play with it. It's too damn vibrant that it shakes the bed like if there's an earthquake. I first bought it cuz my new cell phone wasn't loud enough. So I finally got me a Palm Treo 755 and it works like a charm. It has a loud, pleseantly sounding alarm. So I'm going to give my Sonic Boom to Goodwill this week.Customer Review: Better than expectd
Summary: 4 Stars
I am 77 yrs. old and now wear hearing aids in both ears. I sometimes would oversleep because I didn't hear my alarm clock. This unit with a vibrator does the job well. I had read some of the negative reports, however I have had none of the problems described - however my unit is only 2 months in use. The only complaint I have is the design of the buttons - the button to turn the unit off in the AM is the same size and location as the others and is difficult to locate when half awake. I took a safety pin with a round head, shortened and sharpened it to about 1/8th inch, and stuck it into the rubber button - that way I can feel it and can push it to turn off.Customer Review: Works very well overall, but needs alot of improvements.
Summary: 3 Stars
My suggestions on improving this item would be to make the little black buttons larger and of a different material. They feel flimsy and started wearing out after several months. They should look and/or feel different from each other too. The placement of the snooze button takes some getting used to because it is not on top of the clock, but on the lower portion of the front. Reliability needs to improve too because it will spontaneously alarm even after you turn the alarm off. I had too start unplugging the shaker and lamp every morning. It also started alarming during the night which also led to unplugging it. I have had this product for less than a year.Customer Review: Not as loud as expected but it works
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a heavy sleeper compounded by the fact that I need to get up before the sun. I would set 2 alarms with my cell phone as a backup and still sometimes sleep through them only waking up when there was a little light out. I bought this because of the stated volume it was capable of. I'm a little dissapointed in that part of it, my Phillips alarm clock is much louder than this thing BUT between the bed shaker and the ability to turn on a light it wakes me right up. I'm not sure which one does it, I think its the lamp with the 100 watt bulb it flashes. I would definately recommend getting this model with the light module.
