My near deaf mother-in-law can now easily wake up for early morning appointments thanks to this perfect solution. The combination of blaring noise and shaking bed ensures she doesn't have to stay awake all night.

Great for deep sleepers,

Review by Christin / (Posted on 3/31/2024)

I got the Riptunes Bomb Alarm Clock for a friend who has trouble waking up on time, and he was really impressed with how loud it is and how the vibrating bulb under the mattress shakes the entire bed. Since using it, he hasn't been late getting up.

Stop Making Excuses for Missing Your Alarm...

Review by MirG / (Posted on 3/30/2024)

I purchased this alarm clock for my husband more than two years ago and it has been very effective. The sound is very loud and the vibration feature is great for waking up, even if the sound is off. It allows you to set two alarms and easily switch between them or have both go off. Adding a battery ensures that you won't oversleep during a power outage. Although the battery cover doesn't stay firmly in place after a few falls, it doesn't bother me much. Overall, the best alarm clock I have ever used!

Top-notch alarm!!! Don't delay!!!

Review by janeanh / (Posted on 3/8/2024)

I changed my clocks ahead tonight to prepare for the time change, and realized I've had this one for a long time. According to my order history, I bought it in 2018, which feels like six years ago! When I bought it, I was struggling with oversleeping and being chronically late for work. Since then, this alarm has only failed me twice. It's loud and obnoxious, but in a good way. Despite how rough I've been with it, I'm amazed it's still working. I highly recommend this clock if you're in the market for one - it does its job as promised!

Top-rated alarm clock

We purchased a second one of these because we are heavy sleepers and it wakes us up easily. Our puppy chewed the wires on the first one, but we think it's worth the cost.

The sole alarm clock that rouses my husband

Review by Carleigh / (Posted on 2/22/2024)

We have found this alarm clock to be the loudest one out there. My husband, who has to get up early, has had trouble finding a clock that can wake him up. However, since we've had this one, he hasn't had any trouble getting up.

Review by Sheli / (Posted on 2/12/2024)

I recently had a bad experience with a vibrator-only alarm clock that stopped working after just 2 months. I'm now trying a new one and hoping it will last longer. So far, it's working well and I rely on the vibrator because I'm hearing impaired. The alarm function isn't important to me, but the vibrator works well. I'll see how long this clock lasts.

Quality

This alarm clock is perfect for anyone with a hearing impairment and a busy schedule!

Review by Rebecca. / (Posted on 1/27/2024)

I am very pleased with my new Riptunes Alert alarm clock. I mainly use the vibrator feature instead of the alarm because it doesn't disturb others. I was worried that it would startle my cat, but the vibration is gentle and does the job without scaring the cat. This clock has been the perfect solution for my hearing problem. The only surprise was that it came in its regular box without a shipping box, but luckily it was in good condition. I think the name Riptunes Bomb on the box might have caused this. Overall, I am very happy with this item!

Turn up the volume

Review by Linda / (Posted on 1/25/2024)

This alarm is perfect for the really hard-of-hearing, as it is very loud and comes with a bed shaker. However, it is difficult to reset to an earlier time as you have to run through the entire 24-hour cycle. This can be annoying if you have different wake-up times during the week. Also, the bed shaker doesn't work well when placed under a mattress, but it does work under a sheet or pillow.

Wide awake for once

Review by William / (Posted on 1/13/2024)

This product is recommended and liked by me, but to use it effectively, you should put it inside a pillow to avoid it falling against your headboard, which can be very loud. When unplugged, it clears all alarms and time settings, so be mindful of that. Take your time setting it up and note the difference between the snooze and off functions. I personally prefer the vibration over the siren. Also, it doesn't need to be directly under your head.

��This Absolutely Works When Nothing Else Will����

Review by Jyen / (Posted on 1/13/2024)

This alarm has been a lifesaver for me. I've always had trouble waking up, but this alarm is impossible to sleep through. Not only is the noise annoying, but it also has a vibrating feature and a light function. I've learned to place it across the room so I have to get up to turn it off. It's been reliable for over five years and has customizable snooze options. I love this alarm and credit it with helping me show up on time.

This timepiece is awesome!

Review by Grant / (Posted on 12/13/2023)

I bought this clock for the second time. The last one lasted about 3 years. I'm a heavy sleeper and not a morning person, so it's hard for me to wake up. This clock saved me for my 1st shift job. It's very loud and the lights flash when the alarm goes off. I think my wife has even used the vibrate feature, which explains the fish smell under my pillow. But it still wakes me up! I'm very impressed and will continue buying this clock.

Top Alarm Clocks for Deep Sleepers

Review by Emily / (Posted on 11/16/2023)

I purchased this alarm clock for my step son who is a very heavy sleeper and has trouble waking up. His previous alarm clock only woke him up for school 40% of the time, so we needed something new. This alarm clock was easy to set up and is loud enough to wake him up without disturbing the rest of the house. Since using this alarm clock, he has woken up for school every morning without my help, even after a restless night. It also keeps accurate time. While I wish it were a bit smaller, it's worth the space on the nightstand for how well it works. I'm grateful to have finally found an alarm clock that can wake up the heavy sleepers in my family, allowing me to sleep in occasionally.

Quality

Excellent performance, but too intense in the dark

Review by Kindle / (Posted on 9/25/2023)

I found this alarm clock to be a great discovery. I have actually slept through a fire alarm before, so I needed something that could wake me up effectively. The vibration feature does the trick. I highly recommend it to others who are hard of hearing. I like that it can wake me without making any sound because I have a roommate with different sleep schedules. My only issue is that the display is very bright at night, even on the lowest setting. It needs a more adjustable range. I've tried using some green-colored plastic wrap to dim the light, but it still needs to be less intense. Also, having the buttons the same color as the case makes it difficult to see them. I've had to paint them with white nail polish so that I can see them clearly.

PERFORMS EXACTLY AS PROMISED!

The shaker pod is very loud if it falls onto a hard surface, sounding like popcorn or fireworks going off. This could be useful if you need a little extra help waking up.

Overall fantastic. One significant drawback.

Review by Adam / (Posted on 5/21/2023)

I am a heavy sleeper and find this alarm clock to be very effective. I like that I can change the pitch of the alarm. However, I have found it to be unnecessarily complicated to set. There is no reverse function, so it can be a hassle to adjust the alarm time. Overall, I think the product is good, but I would definitely consider purchasing a simpler version in the future.

Awake deep sleeper with strong shaker and loud buzzer

Review by Laree / (Posted on 8/18/2022)

This alarm clock has a buzzer that starts off quietly but gets louder, and when combined with the powerful bed shaker, it effectively wakes me up. I also appreciate the flashing lights, which I use for setting timers while I'm awake. The clock face is great, displaying the day of the week and the dual alarm times. Overall, it's an attractive and effective alarm clock.

Top choice, with one significant flaw

Review by tmj / (Posted on 8/7/2022)

This alarm clock has exceeded my expectations. It has a bright screen and the ability to adjust brightness, a very loud alarm, flashing lights, and a gentle vibration feature. I appreciate that it displays the day of the week and allows me to set alarms based on specific days. The fact that the display stays on and the settings are saved with batteries is a plus. However, I wish it had more alarm sound options, a radio, and Bluetooth capabilities. The flashing lights could also be brighter and it should allow for more than two snoozes before turning off.

Bed shaker is phenomenal

As a Deaf person, I can verify that the bed shaker is strong and helps me prepare for the day. I would recommend it 8/10. I don't use the volume, but it lasts at least a year before the wire becomes easily broken and tangled.

Perfect for heavy sleepers

Review by hylahb / (Posted on 12/12/2021)

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The dimmer is great for someone like me who is a deep sleeper. The alarm has various settings for different days of the week, and the volume options are also very useful. The vibrator attachment is bigger than I anticipated, which makes it a bit challenging to find a suitable place for it. But overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

Review by Dani / (Posted on 12/31/2018)

I've been using this alarm clock for almost 2 years now, and I used to stress about not waking up on time. But now it's become a worry of the past. I place the vibrating piece in my empty dresser drawer across the room and it works like a charm for me. It's effective without the startling beeping and I need to go across the room to turn it off.

I'm a heavy sleeper and it's unpredictable. I can sleep through alarms and oversleep important events. But since getting this alarm clock, I can now wake up on time on my own. The vibrating alarm is just right for me, and it's enough to bring me out of my sleep without making me mad.

The only complaint I have is the aesthetics of the clock. It doesn't fit with the design of my room, and I wish it had a more traditional look. But at the end of the day, it's about effectiveness, and this clock is very effective.

*Update after Day 3: The vibrating alarm is still effective even if I fall asleep late. It's a strong but gentle wake-up call, and it's not disturbing. If I ever become accustomed to it, I can place it closer to the surface for an even better shake.

Quality

Blindingly bright.

Review by Perfection / (Posted on 12/30/2018)

Quite effective, may need to be more difficult to deactivate, may not be effective for deep sleepers

Review by customer / (Posted on 12/30/2018)

After using this alarm for a few days, my son can now sleep through it. It only works if I've already woken him up, and he is still kind of half asleep. My son is really hard to wake up in the mornings, and we have tried many different types of alarms in the past without success. We were hopeful when we heard about this one, and it does work pretty well. The lights are bright, the sound is loud, and being able to vary the pitch is helpful. The vibrate is strong and works well under his pillow. The problem is that it is too easy to turn off, and there are multiple ways to do so. Then he goes back to sleep. I wish it was harder to turn off, or that the vibrate worked as a bluetooth option so we could place the alarm further from his bed. As it is, the vibrate option is on a short cord from the main alarm, so it has to be kept close to the bed. So, yes, this alarm will wake you up, just try not to turn it off too quickly.

Here's all the evidence you need in this video.

Review by Barclay / (Posted on 9/6/2017)

The Riptunes boom alarm clock is incredibly loud and obnoxious, making it perfect for heavy sleepers. However, my teenager still manages to sleep through it. Surprisingly, after setting the alarm, he wakes up when the backup alarm goes off 10 minutes later. This has eliminated our morning battles and our dog no longer suffers from the loud noise. The alarm clock has completely turned our mornings around, bringing peace and sanity back to our house. It has restored my mental morning sanity and overall, I am happy with the product.

EXPLOSION is a good moniker..

Review by Mallory / (Posted on 7/13/2017)

This product definitely deserves a review! We've had it for about 5 months now and it has been life-changing. I used to be up by 5 am every morning, but these days I struggle to wake up. As a business owner, WAHM, and wife, this was a big problem for me. My husband and I found this alarm clock designed for heavy sleepers and decided to give it a try. It arrived looking like a bomb wire to a hockey puck, but we decided to test it out. The alarm went off and it was incredibly loud, almost like a chainsaw starting up. The vibration was jolting.

On the first night, we decided to set the alarm for the exact wake-up time, and it was a shock. The bed-shaker was so violent that it shook the whole house. The 113-decibel sound was like a chainsaw in our ears with no warning. It also had flashing red lights. My husband compared it to being jolted to consciousness in basic training. It is definitely not for people with heart issues, anxiety, or epilepsy, but it is very effective. I often wake up before the alarm even goes off out of what feels like fear. Overall, we have had no problems with it.

Fades away

Review by Sue / (Posted on 4/1/2017)

I've purchased two of these alarms and they only lasted 2 or 3 years, which I guess is longer than some people have experienced based on the reviews. Despite this, it was the only alarm that actually woke me up, so I'm considering buying a third. However, it's a lot of money for something that might not last very long. None of the other loud alarms I've tried have lasted any longer. It's frustrating that there isn't a reliable product available. Additionally, I wasn't impressed by the warranty information I found.

Frustratingly Complex to Navigate but Definitely Loud Enough

Review by donmusic / (Posted on 4/1/2017)

This alarm clock is incredibly loud and effective at waking deep sleepers like myself. I appreciate that it has two alarms, which is a plus for me. However, the control features are extremely complicated and easy to mess up. The multitude of buttons and functions make it difficult to use without accidentally changing settings. The tiny red lights for the alarms are confusing and not labeled clearly. Setting the alarms requires disabling the other alarm, and adjusting the alarm time is a tedious process. Despite its effectiveness, the user interface and potential for error are extremely frustrating and cost this alarm a full two stars.

Review by MommaS / (Posted on 12/23/2016)

The black and red alarm clock is not as described. It only has a fast or slow button and no hour or minute buttons, making it difficult to set.

The seller's customer service is so poor that I would prefer to order directly from the company's site or through an Audiologist.

Untrustworthy as an alarm clock

Review by Traveler / (Posted on 12/23/2016)

After having this clock for about a week, I came home to find that the time had been reset even though the batteries were fresh. There was no power failure, and my other clocks were correct. I reset the time, but I'm not very happy with the purchase at this point. Update 08/02/22: The clock keeps time, but the shake function no longer works. I don't use the alarm as I live in an apartment and wear earplugs for noise. I really wanted to like it.

The alarm with the power to awaken a sound sleeper.

Review by Todd / (Posted on 2/16/2013)

I recently purchased a product to help wake up my wife, who is legally deaf. Traditional alarm clocks weren't effective in getting her out of bed, so I decided to try a vibrating alarm clock. This alarm clock has a vibrating puck that goes under the mattress, as well as a loud noise and flashing lights to ensure it wakes up everyone in the house. The alarm is so effective that my wife is up and moving in less than 4 seconds, although mainly to avoid a stampede of big dogs that are also startled by the alarm. However, I recommend testing the alarm with everyone in the house before using it, as the first time it went off it caused panic and confusion, with people thinking it was a fire alarm. Overall, it's a great product but be prepared for the initial shock and confusion it may cause.

Sleeping Like the Dead - Deaf and Unresponsive

Review by Firebrand / (Posted on 9/18/2012)

As a person who is deaf and has chronic fatigue syndrome, I have struggled with extreme sleepiness and difficulty waking up for my medication. I used to sleep for 20 hours straight and had anxiety about missing my doctors' appointments. I found that the Riptunes Bomb alarm clock with its strong vibration unit worked much better for waking me up than my previous alarm clock. The only minor issues I have with it are the pointy buttons and the slanted jacks on the back. However, the LED lights and the vibration frequency of the Riptunes Bomb have been very effective in waking me up, and I am thankful for this product.

Top-notch alarm clock for heavy sleepers!

Review by C. S. Cox / (Posted on 9/30/2011)

This clock has received mixed reviews, but I was initially worried when I bought my first one about a year ago. I purchased it for my son, who was a senior in high school and constantly slept through his alarms. However, after giving him this alarm clock, he never slept through his alarms again. Although he did leave school early on numerous occasions, the alarm clock can only do so much in helping with parenting. However, my son's alarm has worked perfectly since the day it arrived, so I decided to buy one for myself as well. I am hard-of-hearing and I particularly like the vibrating disc that goes under my mattress. It wakes me up right away and has been very effective. The clock has some features that are not mentioned in the description, such as battery back-up, the ability to be set on just noise, vibrate, or both, and flashing red lights to aid waking up. Overall, I highly recommend this clock to heavy sleepers, hard-of-hearing, or even profoundly deaf people. My three alarms are still working great and have been the best alarms we have ever owned.
