Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for our sons who are notoriously difficult to get out of bed in the morning. Well, they hate/love Clocky because Clocky wakes them up! Clocky does exactly what it says, gives you a chance to wake up to a normal alarm clock, then gets more upset until he finally jumps off of the dresser/table/whatever and runs around the room until you catch him and shut him off.
The negatives we've found with Clocky is that he is a battery hog AND sometimes is difficult to set to the right time, you really have to follow the directions carefully the first few times to make sure you have it set correctly. He has been able to jump off of our furniture from 4 feet onto laminate flooring, though I don't think it's a good idea to do that all the time. A normal height bedside table works fine and make sure there is a clear area for him to run around (or, like I do, shove enough crap out of the way where the only place he can run is under the bed so they have to crawl under to catch him). The boys really do like him, though they have hidden him a few times :) They've also enjoyed setting him up in unsuspecting guests rooms - just make sure your guests have a good sense of humor. We're buying another Clocky for our girls who are getting to that age where they no longer want to wake up with the crack of dawn - and so it goes.
Customer Review: Cute, Loud, and Effective
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a snooze-button addict. Left to my own devices, I'll sleep ten or more hours a day and end up feeling like a bleary-eyed bag of mud. Clocky promised to beat me at my own game.
And he has, mostly. The alarm is loud and impossible to ignore, the face is flashy, the wheels are effective enough to cart this little robotic sucker over most surfaces. When I remember to set him, he wakes me up successfully.
That's the problem: you have to completely reset him each day, alarm and wheels. Why not just have the snooze button work as a reset after he's driven around? I'd also prefer Clocky to be a bit smarter, a bit more independent, a bit less predictable (I'm pretty sure the alarm sequence never changes). Better wheels for shag carpet wouldn't hurt, either.
Will I still recommend him to friends and family? Absolutely. He's a great little alarm clock at a reasonable price point, and I'd buy him again.
Customer Review: VERY loud, anoying alarm clock
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this clock as a Christmas gift for my daughter who just can't get up in the morning. She hasn't had an alarm clock loud enough to wake her and therefore she would go back to sleep and be late for school most of the time. This alarm clock is VERY loud and VERY annoying and it also rolls itself off the table so you just can't reach over and hit snooze all the time. Just what she needed to get up in the morning, except when she forgets to turn the alarm on. For myself, this clock is too much but perfect for a person who can't get up to a regular alarm clock. Only gave this 4 stars because I feel the price is high for an alarm clock even if it does roll around the room.
