Sonic Alert SBD375SSEU/USA Sonic Boom Dual Alarm Vibrating Alarm Clock

This clock is perfect for waking up someone with hearing loss. The pitch of the alarm can be adjusted as well as the volume. The intensity of the vibrating disc can also be adjusted. ( Can use just tone, just disc, or both)Having the ability to set the duration of the alarm is also a plus. There are two alarms that can be set and once set , the alarms will go off daily. The directions were clear and easy to follow Hopefully it will continue to work well for awhile.

I have sleep apnea and this wakes me up everytime. Whether I wake up by audio or vibration. I originally purchase a older model over 10 years ago and the vibration component broke. I was so happy with the old model that I decided to stick with the same brand. The only thing that I would improve on is having a wider base so the clock would not be accidentally knocked over. Also to have a feature where to rewind or go backwards with the clock. For example if you are setting the alarm to go off at 3:15am and you go to 3:20am you have to go all the way around to pm then back to am. you can not go back from 3:20 to 3:15am.Update: I have had this clock for a few months now and this is an update from original post. I really like this alarm clock because the alarm volume is much louder than the sonic alert that I originally bought about 10 years ago. I also set my I phone alarm that is loud but the sonic alert is 10 times louder than the I phone alarm. I like the vibration of this alarm compared to the sonic from 10 years ago. This alarm has a louder vibration that i can feel better through my sheets. The alarm clock look fits nicely with the rest of my bedroom decor. The clock does not look like a piece of "machinery" On other alarm clocks I will wake up and ask myself, "Is that the alarm going off?", but with this sonic alarm clock instantly and say, "Ok it's time to get up." verses other alarm clocks its like, "ok i think my alarm clock went off but i'm still sleepy so i'm going back to sleep."

I purchased this alarm clock because my husband and I both have sleep apnea. I have had mine him just recently diagnosed and the alarm clock is located on his side of the bed.... Well with the noise of the cpap machines we did not hear it a few times and we used to set our cell phone alarms and our regular alarm clock the one sitting on the night stand....after my husband was late for work twice (we would wake up and all the alarms would be ringing) I realized this could not go on so I went online and googled the loudest alarm clock and this is what came up!! I ordered it and am very, very, pleased with it....we put the vibrating thing under his pillow not the matress (he wants to make sure he feels it)I do have to warn you this alarm is very,very loud and has almost a deafing loud high pitch beep, but it wakes us up one, two three!!It also has very large numbers so we can read it without our glasses on! Would recommend highly I have been using it over a month and I have not found anything wrong or I did not like about it.

I really enjoy the Sonic Alert Alarm Clocks and the SBD375ss-v3 is my favorite. Started with a V1, burned out the buzzer after about 2 years. Replaced it with V2 which lasted about a year. Bought this latest model in March and again this morning. Still using the original bed shaker that came with V1, but have confirmed the newer bed shakers do shake just as well. My favorite features are the really loud buzzer and bed shaker. I have slept through earth quakes, but rarely through this alarm. This version has been improved with 2 bed shaker settings and 5 display brightness settings (night light levels 1-4 and daylight). The buzzer volume control is also neat. If you want an alarm clock more disturbing than a smoke alarm, this will work. I usually start using a new alarm with the volume set to 7. My sole complaint is the quality of the construction: it wears out when used as intended. Each alarm clock from Sonic Alert that I have purchased was taken apart after it stopped reliably waking me up. Their manufacturing methods are improving, but the lifespan is not. The decrease I have seen may have been me sleeping harder and wearing out the buzzer faster. Either way, do not expect it to last for many years for a heavy sleeper or handle abuse well. The main sign that tells me they wear out is the volume control: start at 7, adjust up to keep the same volume, replace when too quiet. That tells me something slowly dies out. In summary, it is an excellent alarm clock for a heavy sleeper. It is loud, shakes disturbingly well, and will wake just about anyone. If you really need an alarm that works, buy a spare.

This Clock meets all what I had expected. It is a supper loud alarm and vibrator, it can be used with both Alarm sound and vibrator or vibrator only or Alarm sound only. If used the Alarm sound You have the option of adjusting from 1 to 10 how high or low You want the volume however number 10 of volume is too loud You can wake your neighbor up, furthermore the vibrator comes with adjustment of low, mid and high so it is very capable of waking you up in any manner that You use it even if you want to use only with the vibrator like Me I use it in medium between the mattresses of my Bed. The vibrator's Cord is long enough to set the Clock beside your Bed but I ordered the 15' long cord not included to make sure that I can put the Clock close or far away from my Bed. Last thing I was forgetting to mention is the option of adjusting how illuminated you want to see the Numbers "Dimmer'', just by pushing down one of the top bottoms it comes from low to high. Last thing this Clock has no Radio only Clock so that's all I needed so great buy for Me.

I live in a house with four people. We all have very different schedules. There are no assurances that things will be quiet when I need to go to bed, so I need to wear good earplugs. I previously worried that I wouldn't always wake up when my iPhone alarm went off due to how well my earplugs work. That is why I bought this alarm. It is perfect for my needs. The vibration alarm works very well; it wakes me up every time. That gives me peace of mind, knowing that I won't be late for work due to sleeping through an alarm. Admittedly, I don't use the sound alarm on this device. It's a bit harsh for my taste, so I disable it, which is great that this alarm clock allows me to do that. I just turn up the volume on my iPhone alarm and use it in conjunction with the vibration alarm on this clock. That system works perfectly for my needs. I'd highly recommend. It's worth every penny.

I got this clock because I started sleeping with ear plugs due to all of the noise in my dorm. But with ear plugs in it takes my alarm clock like 5 minutes to wake me up, which annoys my room mate. This clock is great for waking me, and only me, but it's not a great clock as far as functionality is concerned. Here are my pro's and cons: Pro's: 2 alarms Strong vibrator Con's: Below average build quality Tiny snooze button Snooze button doesn't function well Can only set time forward Switches and buttons are all a bit annoying and poorly organized. I'm giving this clock 3 stars instead of 1 because it's currently the only thing in the world that I am able to buy that has a decent bed shaker. There's literally nothing else out there with 2 alarms and a vibrator that can actually wake me up. At least nothing that I could find anyway. The first thing I hate about this clock is the snooze button. The snooze button is super small. It's got a bump on it which is just fabulous but it's still super small, and I have to press it as hard as I possibly can in order to get snooze to actually activate. It clicks easily, but it doesn't actually snooze when it clicks. I have to press it in really really hard after the click to get the vibrator to actually stop. Also, the build quality really sucks. It just feels cheap in your hands, it tips over easily, and it just seems cheap. You can only set time forward. It's 2013, the alarm clock has been around for at least 90 years at this point, and still I can only set time forward?? If I skip the time I wanted on the alarm, I have to wait for the stupid thing to cycle through 24 hours again to get back to the time I wanted. I don't like how the switches are organized. You can choose the type of alarm from vibrate + tone to tone only and vibrate only and off on one side of the clock. The other side of the clock has a switch that switches between alarm 1, alarm 2, and alarm 1 + 2. Why didn't they put the off setting on the alarm switch? That way you can switch between alarm 1, 2, 1+2, and off on one switch, without touching the switch that has your preferred wake setting on it. All in all, I don't like this clock at all. It's functionality is very poor, and maybe I'm a bit spoiled because I used an iHome before I started sleeping with ear plugs, and iHomes have excellent functionality, but come on, it's 2013. We have watches that answer phone calls, receive GPS, calculate calories, heart rate, etc., why can't we also have alarm clocks with bed shakers that have good programming like iHomes do??

I gave this clock alarm 5 stars, not because it is the end all be all ofalarm clocks with every feature known to man, but because it does exactly what I need an alarm clock to do - to wake a sound sleeper wearing earplugs consistently and without disrupting my wife's rest. Likes: The alarm clock has 2 alarms. A slider switch on the side sets both alarms together to a beep, a bed shaker, or both in alternation. The volume of both beeps together can be adjusted by a wheel at the bottom right of the clock. The wheel allows you to set the alarm volume in a wide range from soft to ear splitting - it's not all or nothing. There is a test mode to try ouf your settings - very convenient. The bed shaker is about the size of a hockey puck, with a permanently attached cord that plugs into the clock. The cord is sufficient in length to place the shaker between mattress and spring on my side of the bed without issue. I also purchased the extension cord, but it wasn't needed. If you were to place the shaker on the far side of the bed, you probably would need the extension. The shaker has a definite buzz and vibration that consistently wakes me up whether I have earplugs or not. My wife can also wake if I delay shutting off the alarm long enough, but is isn't so disruptive (unlike a harsh beep) to stop her resuming sleep once it is turned off. Setting the clock is easy. Yes, it only goes forward, but two buttons give you "move slow" and "move like a bat out of Hades", so it's not a hardsbip. The display is large and can go from quite mild to bright. The clock has a detachable AC adapter,and a 9V battery preserves your settings. The physical clock is surprisingly light, somewhat cheap feeling, but I have knocked it off the bedside stand while rearranging items (on to carpet) and the clock was fine. I could see it possibly cracking if dropped on a hard floor surface. The alarm has an "upside down 7" profile when looked at from the sise, and can easily be knocked over if you pull on the cord (say while adjusting other items on the same stand). The control buttons are pretty flush against the top. The snooze button has a small bump to distinguish it from the others, and the alarm shut off is the far left button. Setting the clock needs two simultaneous presses of different buttons, and the alarm selection and volume controls are elsewhere, so you don't risk screwing up those settings while shutting down the alarm. The alarm appears to have litthe drift over the time I have owned it. Improvements I would like to see: The clock has a hard plastic bottom that slides easily - some rubber or silicone feet would be nice. Raised buttons, with a distinct texture on the alarn shut off button. A weighted base A date on the display, with automatic daylight savings time adjustment Overall I am pleased - it does what an alarm clock should do and does so well.

Not only would this clock wake the dead, but you can see the time clearly as well! The display is huge so you don't need your specs to see it and I keep it dimmed which is perfect for me, as at full brightness it lights up the whole room. The buzzer is very, very loud but just having it on vibrate is enough to awake the heaviest sleeper, and having tried all combinations, I now only have it on vibrate - I put the vibrator between my pillow and pillowcase as our bed is an adjustable one with a slatted base. Some reviewers thought the buttons were hard to locate, but after a few nights, I have no problem at all now and can touch the alarm or snooze button without looking. I think it is well made, nothing has fallen off or come apart and since having it I haven't overslept once! Absolutely the best alarm clock I have ever had and I would recommend it 100 per cent.

danke des Vibrationskissen und der sehr hohen Lautstärke werde ich auch aus dem tiefsten Schlaf gerissen, weiters ist es toll, das man beide Funktionen auch separat schalten kann und die Lautstärke sowie die Tonlage des Alarmtons stufenlos verstellbar sind.

Excellent service et qualité pour le prix :-) Je recommande, livraison rapide et conforme à ce qui est indiquez sur le site Il fonctionne depuis maintenant 4 ans ou nous somme toujours ravi

Ist sehr laut. Wenn man es nicht kennt, bekommt man schon einen Schreck. Aber so soll das in dem Falle auch. Also guter Wecker mit 2 Alarmen. Das mitgelieferte Vibrationskissen habe ich nicht ausprobiert.
