Powerful and noisy alarm clock that vibrates

Review by Bucky / (Posted on 3/24/2024)

I cannot give this alarm clock 5 stars because this is my 2nd one. The pros are that it is loud and has great features including 2 alarms, loud volume, changing pitch in the tone, and an effective shaker for under your pillow. However, I am disappointed that my first one only lasted about 6 years (4 years for the shaker). The shaker wire started to break and the clock eventually froze and stopped working. I was disappointed that it only lasted a few years, especially considering that my parents have old Casio alarm clocks that still work after 30+ years. The vibrator puck nearly shorted out and I had trouble finding a replacement for just that. I recently bought a replacement because it is an effective clock and there is not much to compare to it. I just wish it lasted longer.

How do I deactivate??

I am struggling to figure out how to turn off the alarm once I wake up, instead of just snoozing it repeatedly. It's quite bothersome. Can anyone help me with this?

SPECTACULAR

Review by rissbknerd / (Posted on 3/22/2024)

This alarm clock has been a game changer for me as a heavy sleeper. It is extremely loud on the highest setting and the added vibration helps to ensure I wake up on time. I used to regularly sleep through my alarms and miss important commitments, but setting both alarms allows me to doze a bit before getting up. It may be disruptive for a roommate who is not a heavy sleeper, but it definitely gets the job done.

It's Time to Wake Up

Review by Major / (Posted on 3/20/2024)

I now rely on my phone alarms to wake me up because they are very loud. When I don't wake up to my phone, the alarm practically forces me out of bed to make it stop. I haven't tried the vibrating function yet, but it's good to know that it's available as an option.

Deep sleepers are hearing this

Review by Kelly / (Posted on 3/18/2024)

My son is a heavy sleeper and doesn't wake up easily. However, the others do hear the alarm if they remember to set it. I find that the vibrating disc, when placed correctly under the pillow, does help wake them up.

Short-lived alarm clock

Review by Ray / (Posted on 3/3/2024)

This product would have been excellent if it wasn't made so poorly. I used to have trouble waking up because the alarm would mysteriously turn off, but now the vibrator only works if I hit the clock. It was good when it worked and is compact, but setting the time is frustrating because it takes a long time to cycle through 24 hours.

I have trouble waking up in the morning due to being a heavy sleeper and having hearing difficulties. However, the combination of a loud alarm and a bed shaker helps me get up for work.

Ultra alarm clock

Review by Elijah / (Posted on 2/20/2024)

I have been using this alarm clock for over a year and I think the only thing it doesn't do is shock you with electricity to wake you up. It is loud and it vibrates, and it generally wakes me up.

New Truly effective!

Review by Misti / (Posted on 2/15/2024)

I have tried numerous methods to wake up my teenage daughter, but she can sleep through anything, even vibrating watches and loud noises. I even considered using a human shock collar out of desperation. Since she is moving into a dorm, I needed a solution that wasn't too loud. I found that using a device that provides movement works well for her. She sets it to a medium sound and uses the vibration setting under her mattress. To turn it off, she has to get up and move away from the bed, which helps prevent her from snoozing. There is now hope that she may be able to wake up for her college classes.

Ear-splitting noise

Review by Anne / (Posted on 2/13/2024)

I have partial hearing loss and was concerned about not being able to hear my regular alarm clock. However, this alarm wakes up even heavy sleepers and those with significant hearing loss. The bed shaker is a helpful addition, although I haven't needed it because the alarm is extremely loud.

80% hearing loss - Clear and Loud

Review by GramDog / (Posted on 1/31/2024)

This alarm works even with an 80% hearing loss while I am asleep. The vibration feature hasn't even been used. The only downsides are its unattractive appearance and the brightness could be reduced further. I highly recommend this product.

Excellent option for individuals with hearing impairment

Review by Lady C / (Posted on 1/29/2024)

I really enjoyed most aspects of the Riptunes Alert product. However, I did find the instructions to be overly complex and difficult to follow. I believe the company should consider revising the instructions to make them more understandable, especially for those who may not be experienced with newer technology.

Review by Dominique / (Posted on 1/28/2024)

At first, I didn't like it but after a month, I haven't been late to work. Before, I would sleep right through my alarm, but the Riptunes boom has a loud, annoying alarm that always wakes me up. If you struggle to wake up, this is the alarm clock for you. One of the best purchases I've made this year!

50/50 READ COMPLETE

Review by Jessica / (Posted on 1/22/2024)

I struggle with insomnia and have tried multiple alarms to help me wake up, but I still have trouble. I recently purchased a vibrating plate alarm, but the cord is not very long and it doesn't always wake me up. However, it does manage to wake up my husband. I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else. My daughter tends to unplug the alarm because it annoys her, so we keep a backup battery in it. Recently, the alarm malfunctioned, but my husband was able to fix it by removing the backup battery. I would have been upset if the alarm had died so soon after purchasing it.

This alert preserved my position

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

This alarm literally saved my job. I had tried so many others that weren't loud enough and were difficult to set up. I wish I had bought this years ago because it really jolts you out of a deep sleep. My husband and dogs don't like it because it scares them too, but it's worth it!

Essential for deep sleepers

Review by William / (Posted on 10/31/2023)

I am satisfied overall with the product, but I had expected the 120db to be louder. The vibration puck under the pillow wakes me up every time, which is great. My biggest issue is the lack of ability to run the time forward and backwards for setting alarms and the time. Overall, I would highly recommend this alarm as it has woken me up every single time, unlike others I have tried.

If this doesn't do the trick, nothing will.

Review by steven / (Posted on 10/22/2023)

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience with this alarm clock. If you struggle to wake up early and often sleep through your alarms like I do, then this alarm clock is for you. I've been late to work multiple times because I sleep so deeply, and even my phone and smart watch alarms didn't wake me up. But this alarm clock is different - it jolted me out of bed and got me up on time. The bed vibrator is intense, but it's worth it to ensure you're up and out the door on time. I was even early to work today and feeling alert. I hope this review helps.

Noisy as hell, somewhat inexpensive

Review by customer / (Posted on 8/14/2023)

This alarm clock is loud enough, with the volume kept at just 5% of the maximum. The $4 warranty was useful in getting a new one after it fell and was damaged. The vibrator is strong, and the cord is long enough to reach across my Double sized bed. However, the blue/white text screen is not a good choice, as it can light up a room on its dimmest setting. It is also cheap and broke after a 4ft fall onto hardwood. There are no tactile clicks when turning the volume dial, and it takes a while to cycle through the alarm set backward a few minutes.

Great for deep sleepers

Review by Sabiki / (Posted on 12/8/2022)

The vibrating disk has been helpful for me so far. I have to wake up at 230am on some mornings, and I appreciate being able to adjust the loudness and intensity of the vibration. I accidentally left the disk on my nightstand one night, and the sound it made when it vibrated against the hard surface was very loud. When placed under my pillow, the vibration is strong and can be difficult to sleep through. However, I do like that it has a large snooze button.

Top-notch alarm clock in my possession

Review by WickedRaven / (Posted on 7/24/2022)

This alarm clock has everything you need, except for an AM/FM radio option. Personally, I don't need the radio, but maybe a Bluetooth option would be nice. It comes with a shaker that can vibrate the bed at different levels and can be removed if not needed. The cord for the shaker could be a bit longer. The display can be adjusted to your preference and the alarm can be set at different levels, with the high level being very loud. The flashing lights are a great feature and there are options for the alarm settings. There's also a USB port for charging and battery backup in case of blackouts. Overall, I really appreciate this alarm clock and would highly recommend it.

More powerful than supposedly 'loud' alarm clocks ~ YAY!

Review by LT / (Posted on 11/19/2021)

This is my third loud alarm clock purchase in the last 6 weeks. The first two, from Loutan and DreamSky, were not loud at all. This one is definitely the best in terms of sound. It is also easy to set up with a 64-inch power cord and a 68-inch shaker cord that I probably won't use. I can't speak to its durability yet since it just arrived today, but I am very happy to have found it.

Excellent for exhausted adolescents!

Review by Zen / (Posted on 10/24/2021)

I was in search of the perfect alarm clock for my 14-year-old that wouldn't wake my 4-year-old. Last school year, I was the alarm clock, but it didn't work out well. We tried several other alarm clocks, but they were either thrown or given up on. This alarm clock was the game changer for my household. It used to take me 20 minutes to wake my kid up, but now with this alarm clock, we use the flashing lights instead of the sound. It's just annoying enough to get him up right away without starting his day in a bad way. It has made our mornings much better. If you have a difficult teen to get out of bed, try this alarm clock! It has made things so much easier for us.

Works Well Often

Review by Chris / (Posted on 1/21/2021)

I recently purchased a new alarm clock to help me wake up in the morning. Since using a C-PAP machine, I've been sleeping much better, but I've also been sleeping through my phone alarms. The new alarm clock has been a game-changer in helping me wake up on time. The setup was easy and the instructions were helpful. The alarm is loud and the flashing lights are effective at waking me up. It also has a vibrating disc option, but I found it to be a bit intense. Overall, I highly recommend this alarm clock for anyone who struggles to wake up in the morning. It has been a lifesaver in making sure I get up on time for work.

No ability to turn off the alarm,

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

The clock would be great if it had the option to completely turn off the alarm when it's not needed. When I'm on vacation, I don't have the ability to not use the alarm settings or to disable the 2nd alarm. I just want to be able to turn the volume all the way down and set vibration to off.

This person with hearing loss approves of the Riptunes Boom!

Review by Patty / (Posted on 7/27/2015)

The Riptunes WAV110 Bed Shaker is a great choice for heavy sleepers and people with hearing loss. The clock is lightweight, has a large display, and a battery backup. It has both volume and tone adjustments, which are essential for those with hearing loss in high pitches. The clock has a variety of useful features, including the ability to adjust snooze time and alarm duration. The bed shaker is effective and can be placed under a pillow or in a pillowcase. The alarm is loud, and the ability to adjust the tone/pitch makes it suitable for people with hearing loss. The only drawbacks are that it may not be as loud as other clocks, and the process for setting the time is a bit more involved. Overall, the Riptunes Bomb with Super Shaker - SBB500ss is a good choice for anyone who needs a loud, adjustable alarm clock.

Shaky Shaky Wacky Wacky!

Review by swares / (Posted on 2/3/2015)

I woke up late for work one morning because my alarm clock didn't go off. My roommate suggested I get a new one, so I bought the Riptunes Boom. Setting it up was easy and the controls felt solid. I liked that I could choose between an alarm, bed vibrator, or both to wake me up. The volume and tone settings were effective at getting me out of bed. The bed vibrator was a nice addition and woke me up more consistently than the sound. However, I didn't like the method for changing the time and alarms, and the alarm seemed to go off when I was trying to set it. Overall, it's a great product and I will buy my next alarm clock from Riptunes Boom.
