Clocky, The Original Runaway Alarm Clock on Wheels (Loud for Heavy Sleepers, Fun Rolling Moving Clock), Green

I’ve had trouble getting out of bed and getting my day started ever since I hit puberty (15 years ago). This thing actually gets me out of bed!!! I’m a mechanical engineer, and looking at this thing, I can tell you: dropping it 3ft off an end table every day is only going to decrease the life of it, drastically. Unless you have a pillow under it I just don’t see it making it more than 2 years before part of the wheel breaks letting it fall like that.It’s made of plastic and just isn’t made to take a beating like that for an extended time. I set the alarm, and set it on the floor overnight in a different spot each day, and I’ve had incredible luck with it. The clock runs and seems to always find somwhere to hide. Also, the sound of R2-D2 at climax is certainly a sound that gets me out of bed in a rush. The plastic/price is just a trade off. If they went with steel axels and bearings it may last a bit longer, the clock would cost a lot more. Take care of your investment and your new mornings and just set it on the floor each night.

Son loved it..

This is the most amazing ALARM clock EVER!! I have had trouble for years waking up on time...no more with this alarm clock!! You can't help but jump out of bed to the alien sounds and runaway movements of the clock....it's annoying at 5am BUT it does what's it's suppposed to do...WAKE YOU UP!! I will never live without this clock!!!

Just a heads up, make sure you read the most recent reviews. Amazon likes to stack their good reviews at the top, so I purchased this thinking it had all great reviews, however most of the recent reviews are negative. I only noticed this after I got the item and it did not work. I tried testing the thing several different times and the alarm went off once and did not go off again. However, it did go off at random a few times, and the wheels never moved. I wouldn’t waste $40 on this product. I wish I had read more reviews on it before purchasing, because most people are having the same problem.

This was a birthday gift. It was just what she wanted, arrived in a timely fashion.

It's a great clock. My daughter loves it.I had some difficulty with the clock initially but the company was quite on to it quickly. I like their customer support service.

Helps my husband get out of bed.

I can finally make it to my early morning classes! It's definitely loud enough for heavy sleepers, easy to work, emits a not too repetitive a sound, and is the perfect balance of annoying/not so bad. Overall, it's a total life saver. (I'm an exhausted college student.)
