This clock is great. I take medications that will sometimes knock me out and my old alarm, my phone ringing etc would not wake me up. With the vibrating puck does wake me up enough to hear and recognize the alarm going off. I have it placed underneath my sheets in the middle of the bed under my pillows.PROS:Large display that is dimmableCan set to use 24hr time. Helps when not paying attention and setting alarm for 6am instead of 6pm (18:00)The vibrating puck is great and strong enough to wake me up. Also has a long enough cord to place it where I want. Has dual alarms.. helpful to me and I set them 15 minutes apart to make sure I wake up since sometimes it's hard for me to wake up.Has USB power out so you can charge phone or ?? Straight from clock. Though it not a Fast charger.CONS:Too many small buttons on top. Wishing some of them like button to set clock was on back or side.Snooze bar too small. When fumbling around trying to hit snooze too easy to hit another button that turns off alarm. Would be better if certain rarely used buttons were moved to back or side, or they were placed closer to the top edges to make snooze bar larger.The slip on feet have no idea why they aren't attached. They slip off too easily.The battery backup for power failure ONLY keeps time in memory and clock/alarm does not work. So if power goes out when you're supposed to get up you're out of luck but when power does come back on at least you don't have to reset time.Runs off a usb power brick so need about 3.5” clearance to plug adapter into wall. Have mine plugged into a power strip but may be problem if trying to plug into outlet behind bed or cabinet. Also uses usb A connector into power adapter instead of being hard wired into it. So it ‘may' come unplugged.OVERALL:Very pleased with this clock due to the 24hr time format (it is switchable to am/pm) and the strong enough vibration of the puck. The wire for the puck is long enough for placement and I have it placed under my sheets. Do wish it had a rubberized or some other coating on the bottom so it wouldn't slide around as easily. Like this clock so much that I bought one for my friend and he is also pleased with it. My biggest pet peaves with this clock is the multitude of closely placed buttons and the smallish snooze button and the fact that the battery backup is only to save the time and not operate the clock/alarm. Overall happy with this clock and can deal with the not so good things.
