Title: not as good as the sonic boom 500
Review: I had a sonic boom 500ss which worked the best of any alarm clock I ever had. It got fried in a lightning storm, and I bought this model to replace it. I liked the appearance of this model better. While this alarm clock is louder than most, it is not as loud as the 500ss. The vibration doesn't seem to be as strong either. On the 500ss, it alternated noise/vibration/noise/vibration which also helped me to wake up. This model doesn't alternate, you get both at the same time. Since I have an extremely difficult time getting up in the mornings, I am returning this model and will order the 500ss again.I gave this 2 stars because it is louder than most other alarm clocks. However, it you're going to buy a $30 alarm clock - get the 500ss.
