CLOCKY Alarm Clock on Wheels – Loud Rolling Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers | Runaway Clock That Jumps & Runs to Wake You Up | Funny Unique Gift for Adults, Teens & Kids Bedrooms (Black)

Works great. Kiddo is getting up on time 😁

I needed help. I like to sleep, and sometimes things like work get in the way of my sleeping. In general I enjoy alarm clocks of various sorts. Rather, I should say, I have had alarm clocks of various sorts, since I get used to them and then I just turn them off and go back to sleep. I would get to the point that I could get up, walk across the room, turn off the alarm clock, and go back to bed. Or I would just hear the alarm and ignore it until it stopped. With some alarm clocks this can take 10-20 minutes. This is the mark of a true professional Sleeper, like myself. When Clocky arrived, I was skeptical, but the little robot looked quite friendly. With the operating manual, everything was simple enough, and easily programmed. Clocky came to me all the way from China, but he was the genuine article. I set him down on the bureau in my bedroom. "Hello, Clocky!" I said. He was silent. "Clocky, is the alarm active?" Still, no reply. He was not very friendly to start out. Very quiet. Not like Siri. I double checked him, and everything seemed to be operating properly though. Well, the next morning at 5 am, he suddenly broke the silence. My god, he was speaking in tongues at top volume. The constant variation in tone, pitch, and pattern was disconcerting, even ... alarming. I literally leapt out of bed and walked over to where the little robot was whirling about. A gentle pat on the head soothed him instantly, and he quieted down. I went back to sleep promptly, only to be awakened mere minutes later when he let out another series of cacophonous wails. Again I ran over to him. Now he had hopped down on the floor, and had got part way under the bed. This time I picked him up firmly and poked him in the right eye. He quieted down in a hurry. I was wide awake now, heart racing. I could almost hear Clocky saying: And why consider the mote that is in my eye, but not the log in your own? He was quite right. I got up to face the day. The little robot has fast become an essential member of the household. No matter how many times his alarm awakens me, I never become accustomed to it. On one occasion, after jumping from the bureau, he developed a rattle, but a quick disassembly proved it to be a loose fleck of solder that had broken off, and all connections were in perfect order. Except for his piercing wail in the morning, he remains taciturn, but I think now this simply reflects his serious nature.

My quick review... it's much smaller than i thought it would be...i don't know why, but personally, from the pictures it always seemed like it would be a clunker...it's actually rather small & quaint!...and the almond color makes it somewhat elegant-looking. i did not have problems with the battery compartment as others did... it's a slight inconvenience to have to use a screwdriver to replace the batteries, but at the same time i can feel assured knowing that the batteries will remain securely in place... as far as the main reason you would purchase this item, here's my take: when the alarm goes off.. 1) it doesn't "run" far from you 2) it makes neat "R2D2" noises at a pretty decent volume (would be rather difficult for the average person to sleep through) 3) it's difficult to locate the snooze button quickly while it's moving/beeping, and 4) it's difficult to locate the tiny button to turn the alarm off while it's moving/beeping. ...BUT--these are all GOOD things!!... it means you have to actually be somewhat conscious and focus your mind a bit in order to turn the darn thing off...so even though you don't have to chase it very far, after you've grabbed it, it's the process of turning it off that actuallywakes you up!...(at least that's the way mine worked)...and at that point, you're now somewhat awake and therefore more likely to stay up than try to go back to sleep!!...hence, Clocky has done its job! (FYI Sidenote: my Clocky takes about a 3-foot drop from a dresser next to my bed onto a carpeted floor) the caveat here is that obviously everyone's sleep patterns/behaviors are different... If it helps, here's my personal "sleep background:" i typically leave the house by 7:00-7:30a M-F for work...i have ALWAYS had a hard gime getting up in the a.m. & also have a sleeping disorder which exascerbates things..i have tried many different methods over the years (some technical, some traditional) to try & help me get up on time...i even bought (& later returned) the $175 SleepTracker Pro watch, but it did not help me (it was quiet, i was still tired when i woke up, and it was way too easy to turn the thing off and go right back to sleep). another good thing about Clocky is that you can only snooze once....that's another part of my problem: i always snooze...as i describe it: the nightime "me" says "i'll allow myself to snooze once--and only once--in the a.m."...however, the morning "me" throws that right out the window without remorse and snoozes repeatedly-- on at least one occasion, i snoozed repeatedly for 2+ hours... realize that all of the opinions i've offered above stem from one use thusfar...today was my first morning waking up with Clocky...however, i have to say i'm surprisingly optimistic about "him" helping me with my recurring problem. i actually forgot to re-enable the snooze function last night, so i was extra confused this morning, but tomorrow i will begin my first real "standard" usage of it... if my opinion of Clocky later depreciates upon further useage, i will update this review accordingly. hope this helps.

Thus thing is cute, my teen wakes up to it rolling around. We have had many complaints on it’s cute look.

Amazing😂😂

La sveglia funziona bene, odeale per chi ha il vizio di spengerla, scappa e sei costretto ad alzarti per prenderla

Cool iris et joli et simple d’utilisation!

My six-year-old told me very seriously that he’s a “deep sleeper” and needed something really strong to wake him up in the morning. We decided to try Clocky, and honestly, it’s been both hilarious and effective. The first morning, the alarm went off and Clocky immediately rolled off the nightstand and started zooming around the room. My son had no choice but to jump out of bed and chase it — and it actually worked. He was awake, laughing, and definitely not snoozing. The alarm is loud (in a good way), and the fact that it physically runs away means there’s no chance of hitting the snooze button by accident. It’s become a fun part of his morning routine, and he actually looks forward to “catching” his alarm clock. For kids or adults who sleep through regular alarms, this is a clever little solution.

I suffer from hitting the snooze buttons of my alarms while still asleep, so this sounded like a great idea. If you catch this and hit snooze before it starts moving around it's still possible to stay in bed, but you'd have to be quick and quite determined to stay in bed Plus points: Great looking gadget in chrome Feels sturdy, and apparently can drop from 3 feet, though I haven't tried - I place mine on the floor I think it's weighted so that when it's off, the time is always facing up Easy to set, nice light blue backlight Makes funny and cute robotic noises - much better than a regular beep, and probably less likely to be slept through The only downside is the price for an alarm clock, but worth the investment to get out of bed, and I've never found such a fun clock! I love my clocky :)
