We have tried numerous other alarm clocks for her, even the ones with the bells on top that clang. She has slept through them all, sometimes even when they go off for 30 minutes near her head. This year she started high school and has to get up much earlier. The iLuv has woken her up much more quickly than any other alarm clock! I no longer have to get up and drag her out of bed. I would recommend this for sound sleepers! I purchased this alarm clock for my 14 year old. We have tried numerous other alarm clocks for her, even the ones with the bells on top that clang.

(and it has a very long cord) <br />+Alarm is a beep that gets louder over time (and can be used in concordance with the bed shaker) <br />+Can customize both alarms to incorporate different alarm types (ie. Shaker and beep, shaker and playlist, etc) <br /> <br />Cons: <br />-Sound was absolutely unbearable with any bass (even with ipod EQ settings set to bass reducer) <br />-Wake up bed shaker is not as strong as I hoped it to be. <br />-Product "feels" cheap (thin plastic, cheap buttons). <br />-Time setting is clumsy and difficult, why not just have it sync to the atomic clock (my $15 walmart clock did that) <br />-There are two bass "holes" in the back that appear to do nothing (I don't hear anything coming from them) <br />-Many comparable docks have remotes included. This does not. <br />-The screen does not look like it does in the image. It has a bright blue backlight. <br /> <br />Bottom Line: <br /> This is great if you want an alarm clock with multiple alarm features that will also charge your iPod. You should not get this if you want to listen to music on it. <br /> <br />Why I gave it 2 stars: <br /> I got this so I could listen to my iPod while I go to sleep. The sound quality is so unbearable that I stopped using it. It still has nice alarm features, but is overpriced for what I wanted. Here is the rundown:

Pros:

+Docked flawlessly with my iPod nano 5g.

+All buttons worked.

+Ability to have auxiliary input.

+Wake up bed shaker is a nice touch. (and it has a very long cord)

+Alarm is a beep that gets louder over time (and can be used in concordance with the bed shaker)

+Can customize both alarms to incorporate different alarm types (ie. Shaker and beep, shaker and playlist, etc)

Cons:

-Sound was absolutely unbearable with any bass (even with ipod EQ settings set to bass reducer)

-Wake up bed shaker is not as strong as I hoped it to be.

-Product “feels” cheap (thin plastic, cheap buttons).

-Time setting is clumsy and difficult, why not just have it sync to the atomic clock (my $15 walmart clock did that)

-There are two bass “holes” in the back that appear to do nothing (I don’t hear anything coming from them)

-Many comparable docks have remotes included. This does not.

-The screen does not look like it does in the image. It has a bright blue backlight.

Bottom Line:

This is great if you want an alarm clock with multiple alarm features that will also charge your iPod. You should not get this if you want to listen to music on it.

Why I gave it 2 stars:

I got this so I could listen to my iPod while I go to sleep. The sound quality is so unbearable that I stopped using it. It still has nice alarm features, but is overpriced for what I wanted.

I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, and this wakes me up every time. iPod Touch integration is an added bonus. A word of caution about the iPhone integration, though - it's not fully compatible. You can increase/decrease the volume and change the song that's playing, so you do at least get the basics. Great product!
