Wanted to love this, but I just like it.
I previously had a bed shaker alarm clock that conked out on me, so I wanted a new one. I found this one and was excited because it is wireless, whereas my old one wasn't. I like it, but I have 2 complaints: 1) the vibration isn't as strong as my previous one, so it takes my brain a little bit to register the sensation and wake up; 2) your phone has to be within a certain range of the shaker. #2 is MAJOR for me, as I had previously developed a habit of sleeping with my phone in a different room to cut down on my tendency to scroll in bed. The first night I tried to do that, the shaker disconnected from my phone, so I’ve found that I have to have my phone in my room, which I hate. I do like that you can set multiple alarms, which sometimes I need. But with that… you can’t have multiple alarms with the same time, even if they are on different days. For instance, I have multiple alarms for weekdays, with my “final warning” alarm being at 7AM. I set multiple for the weekend as well, with one of them being at 7AM, but that deleted my 7AM weekday alarm. I don’t understand why they interfere with each other if the days for the alarms are clearly different (M,T,W,T,F vs S & S). Overall, I do like it, but because I have to have my phone within a certain range, I don’t think the price is justified. I think the shaker’s only saving grace is that it is wireless – now I don’t have to play jump rope in the dark anymore if I need to go potty in the middle of the night.
