Tools and Hardware Reviews of Silent Vibrating Personal Alarm Clock "Shake-N-Wake"
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a hard of hearing individual and I purchased this product in lieu of another product I would've much preferred, the ShakeAwake Alarm Clock. I had previously owned 3 of those devices over the period of 10 years, replacing them as they got old, but always living up to their name.
However when the latest one passed away, I came onto Amazon, as I had to purchase the other 3, to discover that the product was no longer available in their store, and I could not even find a way to purchase it from their seemingly official site.
So I discovered this product, the closest thing to what I actually wanted (a vibrating alarm to go under my pillow and wake me up each morning before work)
1) the device shakes momentarily EVERY hour on the hour. That could not be any more annoying to my girlfriend who spends many nights with me and is not hard of hearing. Also, WHY is that feature even there?
2) while my girlfriend was not around (she would wake me up when a audible alarm went off instead), I would use the alarm clock, however, there was no real snooze option (that I could find, which I also used a LOT on the ShakeAwake device), and the vibration was so unnoticeable under the pillow, that I ended up having to use the vibration from my iPhone as a secondary backup to wake me up in case this device didn't.
3) For a short while, the alarm simply wasn't going off. I couldn't figure out why for a few days until I noticed that in the middle of the night, or during one of my wake ups, the alarm's switch changed from vibrate to audio... the switch moved way too easily, and I could've been late to work multiple days if it wasn't for my backup alarm.
4) By this time, I completely shunned this device and I have been using my iPhone, a device unintended for this role for a hard of hearing person, which has performed this job far better than the alarm ever has. However, I'd prefer NOT to use my iPhone for this role and have a dedicated device for waking me up.
5) Sure, there's an option to wear it on your wrist, but the last thing I need is something uncomfortable on my wrist as I try to sleep.
Honestly, I'd prefer to return this device, however, it's not really on any fault of the product itself, it's not defected. It just isn't for me.
Looking forward to the ShakeAwake device becoming available in the store again, or at the least finding another store that I can actually purchase it from.
