Tools and Hardware Reviews of Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels, Almond
Customer Review: Everything is great, except quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Everything is great, except quality, 'made in China' label proves it. Clocky can jump only from small height according to the manual, so I put it on bedside table and there was a carpet in the room. Anyway after two weeks sound stopped working and my Clocky became just silent clock :).Customer Review: Too dang loud!
Summary: 2 Stars
Its very 'cute' and well designed except for one major flaw. The sound level is not adjustable and its is way too loud for a day to day alarm clock unless you sleep with ear-plugs on!Customer Review: Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels In Almond
Summary: 2 Stars
So so - Bought for daughters dorm room - No reaction from her or roommate, so I assume not that amazing of an alarm clock.Customer Review: Feels cheap
Summary: 1 Stars
I received one of these as a gift. I've had it for less than a day and I already dislike it. For such a large price tag, it certainly feels cheap.
My biggest complaint is the LED display. It can become extremely faint if you don't look directly at it. Your line of sight needs to be perpendicular to the LED display. If there is significant tilt, the digits become hard or near impossible to read. Moreover, the LED display is small. If you're on the other side of the room, good luck reading the time -- you'll need it.
These are *fundamental* design issues! What good is a clock if you can't tell the time?
There are other complaints (like the battery cover, need for 4 AAA batteries, having to re-enable the alarm everyday if you want to use it daily, etc.), but it seems like other reviews have covered them. This clock could have been awesome, but it's very poorly engineered. Just realize you're spending money on a gimmick. Other than the fact that it rolls away, it is really an inferior alarm clock. I have a generic clock I bought at Target that is much better at doing what a clock is supposed to do.
Customer Review: Awful customer support from Nanda
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a fun and useful product until it broke (runs away, but stopped making any alarm sound). I was past the return period from the store where I bought it so I contacted Nanda for warranty service. And I contacted Nanda again. And I contacted Nanda again. I emailed them. I called them on the phone. I even wrote a letter (a real honest to goodness letter - you know, with a stamp). Every time I spoke to someone, they said they would have to get back in touch with me, but they never did. Always apologetic, but never solving the problem. It's too bad. They obviously are a small company and I was rooting for them. They don't seem to be run very well. Nanda, if you're listening, it's and I would still like a working Clocky. Nanda's customer support is awful. It's hard to recommend Clocky for this reason.
