Clarity 600 Wake Assure Alarm Clock With Bed Shaker

I love this clock because it wakes me up every time. I am deaf in one ear and am a deep sleeper. Until now, I haven't been able to find a clock that would awaken me reliably. I have to take medicine during the night, so I need a clock that will wake me up consistently. I use all three modalities together--alarm, light flasher, and bed shaker. I think the shaker has the most effect on me. It's not unpleasant, but it does get my attention. If I were to change anything about the clock, I would add the ability to set two separate alarms because sometimes I need to get up more than once before night's end. It would also be nice if one could make the numbers go in reverse when selecting an earlier hour for the alarm. However the clock and alarm are not difficult to set.

If i could give this alarm 0 stars I would. It is terrible. The lamp, snooze, and reset functions are all in the same button. The lamp is one thing but the snooze and the reset are the exact opposite things!! If you accidentally hit the snooze button twice, the thing shuts off. Countless mornings I'd wake up and not hear my alarm sounding wondering how it turned off. I originally bought this because after 2 1/2 years my sonic boom vibrator failed me and I received no support cause I was out of warranty. I was upset with the company. Today I just ordered a new sonic boom. I would pay the same for 2 1/2 good yrs out of sonic boom than for a lifetime with the wake assure. Terrible product design.

My wife will tell you that I could sleep through anything. My previous alarm clock was one of those that starts soft and gets louder. Unfortunately, I would subconsciously hit the snooze button on several instances before it got loud. As a result, I consistently got into work later than I'd like.

This clock is different. It has an alarm that starts loud and stays loud. The tone of the alarm and the loudness can be set. The flashing lamp is a nice feature too, although I would have been perfectly happy if the lamp just turned on instead of flashing; my previous one had a lamp control but it wasn't tied into the alarm, which made that feature mostly useless to me. I don't use the bed shaker, so I can't comment on it.

Let me clarify one thing that was not obvious and that I consider important: the snooze button acts as an on/off lamp control, whether the alarm is active or not. If the alarm is set to flash the lamp and you press the snooze once when the...Read more
