Product Reviews of Sonic Alert SBP100 Sonic Boom Portable Vibrating Alarm Clock
Product Review: Sonic shaker
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought this alarm not knowing how effective it would be. I set it to wake me up yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find out the vibration is so powerful it very nearly blew my chode off. 5 stars.Product Review: This would be great, if it wasn't a piece of garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
A vibrating alarm clock is a pretty great thing, particularly if you have difficultly getting up in the morning. I also sleep with earplugs in because I'm such a light sleeper, and I needed an alternative to the loud audio alarms that I ended up just sleeping through (earplugs or not!). Anyway, I bought this clock because it seemed to have a powerful vibration, and I liked how the clock LCD lay flush and popped up so you could use it on your night stand, if you were so inclined. All seemingly great features, until I started using it. First of all, the backlight on the LCD is nothing more than a teeny green bulb that shines light on the screen. It's hard to see, sometimes impossible in the dark, which completely defeats the purpose. Secondly, while the vibrations are strong, and the snooze function great, the damn thing just STOPPED WORKING CONSISTANTLY after a few weeks of use, and has been heading steadily downhill since. A few times, it did not alarm, snooze stopped working (it would turn off and never come back on), and just this morning (after waking up LATE) I tested it out, and the vibration burped on and off a second later. Furthermore, the audible alarm (which I don't use) is not that loud at all. My 1980's digital alarm was louder than that thing. Absolute garbage. A sonic bust. I'm severely disappointed in this. Wasted my money, and now I'm shopping for another alarm clock. Oh, I also hear customer service sucks with this maker, so I don't know if it's worth it to fight for a refund. So if you're looking for an alarm... keep looking...Product Review: Vibrating alarm lasts only 1 minute

After reading all the reviews for this alarm, I figured that this would be the best thing for my 14 year old son. He has such a hard time waking up in the morning. We even tried holding one of those alarms that have the two bells on top that clank over his head and that did not wake him up. The first morning he used this alarm, he tossed a little and started to wake up but the vibrations stopped after only one minute. That definitely is not long enough to wake someone up. I contacted Sonic Alert and asked them about this and they said the vibration only lasts for one minute because the clock runs on batteries. I told the customer service agent that was not long enough to wake someone up and she suggested that I try one of the other models that run on electricity since the vibrations will go on until you actually get up and shut off the alarm. I am returning this one to Amazon and have ordered one of the other Sonic Alert models. I also made sure to get the extension cord for the vibrator so the alarm clock can be placed as far away from my son forcing him to get up out of bed to shut it off.Product Review: Wake Up
Summary: 4 Stars
I am an extremely heavy sleeper and my biggest fear in life is dying. My second biggest fear in life is over sleeping and being late for a meeting or work. I hate that feeling.
What I like to do with this device is place it right under my pillow or in a pocket. When the sonic alert goes off, it's so loud and shocking, I wake up screaming ---- that's how good it is.
I've had this for 3 years now and I've yet to change the batteries. I take this baby with me whenever I travel.
Product Review: Wakes up heavy sleeper
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my son who was oversleeping and missing classes. He told me the vibration really does the job waking him up. The fact that it doesn't need to be plugged in and can go anywhere is a plus. It is much smaller than I thought but this makes it great for use as a travel alarm.
