Product Reviews of Sonic Boom SBB500ss Sonic Bomb Loud Plus Vibrating Alarm Clock
Product Review: Disappointingly loud
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really hoping it would be louder than it is, but it does the job and wakes me up. In addition, the clock malfunctioned just a few days after I got it, so now some of the numbers flash. Still, it doesn't interfere with the alarm. I just wish that it wasn't as cheaply made as it feels like.Product Review: Does not keep accurate time
Summary: 1 Stars
I have it set a 12/HR 60HZ in the US and it still runs fast and time needs to manually adjusted every few weeks.
Some people may have had the clock set on the wrong HZ setting, but mine is on the correct setting and it still cannot keep time correctly. This is the only alarm clock I have that is not accurate.
It took weeks before I noticed this issue and now it's too late to return it. I will never buy another from this company.
The buzzer/vibrator is nice, but keeping time is the most basic feature of a clock that needs to work.
Waste of money unless you don't mind resetting the time every few weeks.
Product Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
While not as loud as I had hoped, it's still louder than the average alarm clock. What's nice about it is you can change the pitch of the alarm as well as the volume to create the most annoying sound possible for your own ears. This, coupled with the vibrator under the pillow, does a sufficient job of scaring me awake with a jolt every morning. Whereas I used to sleep through any alarm for several minutes to several hours, I have yet to sleep more than a second through this one. While scaring myself awake isn't exactly pleasant, it's a lot better than being late every day because of sleeping through the alarm! I highly recommend this product for the heavy sleeper.
Minor cons (why it didn't get 5 stars): plastic does feel a bit cheap, but no cheaper than the average alarm clock. Even with the "dimmer" switch on, the display is still annoyingly bright. Should be made louder for those who are hard of hearing.
Product Review: Earth shaking alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
I am used to sleeping through alarm clocks after I get used to the same monotonous tone, but with the volume this clock goes up to along with the bed vibrator makes that difficult. I will say that the volume is nowhere near that of a jackhammer as is advertised, however this is an extremely loud alarm clock. This clock also has adjustable tone, which for me is great because I can alternate between the tones so that I do not get used to just one. The large number display is also nice because I can read it from across my room easily without my glasses. Finally I would like to comment on the LED lights. Although they are more fore show than anything else, when the alarm goes off in the morning (I have it facing me in bed) the LED's are bright enough bother my eyes the same way flipping on my room light does when I first wake up early while it is still dim outside. Sorry is the previous sentence is awkward. In conclusion I would recommend this clock to all you deep sleepers out there.Product Review: Effective for my sleepy cat
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi,
I must be up early to drive the school bus and like to eat breakfast with my cute cat. He is not a morning cat and it is often difficult to coax him out of bed to come have his morning milk with me. After taping the Sonic Bomb bed vibrator to his plush bed he is alert and ready for breakfast. It is a true joy to analyze our dreams together before I go off to work which wasn't possible before using the Sonic Bomb. This miracle worker has really enriched our relationship.
Thanks.
