" ... Love this clock, the alarm tone, the way it wheels around! ... "
" ... This little alarm clock has a great personality!! ... "
" ... Gets me up right away in the morning, best alarm clock I ever owned that actually works. ... "
" ... I wish it had a lock for shutting off the alarm that made it easier just as an extra step for those like me who will go back to bed and sleep. ... I would suggest it to anyone like me who needs more than a regular alarm. ... "
" ... This is the best little clock. ... Clock rolls and makes r2d2 like sounds that are hard to ignore. ... "
" ... I successfully wake up on its first alarm. ... You can definitely hear the alarm even as it rolls away. ... "
" ... The alarm sounds like R2D2 so its even more of a "shock" when waking up which is exactly what I need. ... "
" ... I got that for me to replace the alarm I had and boy I love it not only did I get up but I didn’t go back to sleep because of the exercise you get running after the clock if anything to dislike about it is how noisy it can be or too fast moving or setting it up was a bit of challenge and that you do need to be careful you don’t hurt you or anything around you and the clock itself don’t put it too high ...

" ... Stopped working after a few weeks. ... Was awesome when it worked, but a 3 week lifespan is not acceptable. ... "
" ... I ordered this product and it has now failed to go off 3 times, despite being set correctly and ringing when I “test” it. ... "
" ... (But didn't work in a different way--it had a different defect.) ... "
" ... bought and used for maybe 3 months stopped working complete waste of money ... "

" ... I checked the directions 3x and it wasn’t user error. ... "

" ... There's no volume controlls youll just be woken up by a scared screaming droid every morning. ... "
" ... My husband is a very heavy sleeper and this clock is not loud enough to wake him up. ... Even when it hits the floor and starts rolling it still isn’t loud enough. ... If anything the sound needs to be louder and more obnoxious. ... "
" ... In addition, the alarm volume is not high enough for those who have difficulty waking. ... "
" ... It is loud but didn’t wake him up and it turns itself off. ... "
" ... Clock is loud, but doesn't take off across the room as advertised. ... "
" ... I feel like it could be louder for those of us that are really hard sleepers. ... That’s on the loud setting. ... If you need something REALLY loud . ... "
" ... Not very loud ... "
" ... Not loud enough and doesn’t zip around like I thought. ... "

" ... My thought was, no worries, I'll just reattach the wheel which is held on by a screw in the ave from the inside. ... I discovered that the case cannot be opened because small pressed in plugs were used to secure the two halve of the case as opposed to screws. ... "
" ... The wheels are wobbly and it will come off any time. ... "
" ... Broke in March of 2019. ... "
" ... Additionally, the platic chrome was scratched and rough when I opened the box. ... "
" ... day number 2 the wheel fell off . ... "
" ... But it broke. ... "
" ... It's a cheaply built piece of junk. ... "
" ... Product broke after only being used a couple times. ... "

" ... Louder would be the only improvement ... "
" ... The noise is the right kind of annoying for me. ... "
" ... For $30, it should at least play music if it's too lazy to roll like it is supposed to. ... "
" ... If anything the sound needs to be louder and more obnoxious. ... "
" ... Alas, when the alarm goes off, the sound works, but the wheels don't turn--even though I made sure that the icon showing that the wheels were engaged was on. ... "
" ... Don't know if I just got unlucky, but after about a month of using it, every time the alarm would sound and Clocky would do it's thing, the alarm would shut off after a few seconds, the current time would revert back to 12:00am, and the alarm time would reset to default. ... "
" ... Clocky did not continue moving or making sound. ... "
" ... I had too put it the garbage can outside with something over the top to block the noise. ... "

" ... No night time view, batteries die rather quickly. ... "
" ... I have not been able to turn it off without taking out batteries. ... "
" ... Sorry to say my 2nd one of these eats up batteries -they don't last a week. ... "
" ... I tried changing the batteries but nothing improved. ... "
" ... The battery spring is loose, so the battery pops out when it moves, rather defeating the point. ... "
" ... I added different batteries and those were dead after two weeks. ... "
" ... Mine must be defective because it turns off while on flat ground, and that's with fully charged eneloops. ... "
" ... The instruction consisted of how to put in batteries. ... "

" ... It can drop off a night stand just fine and will run around the room. ... "
" ... It’s best used for a big clean room. ... "
" ... Now she gets out of bed because she has to chase clocky around her room. ... She puts it on her night table and it rolls off and goes all around the room. ... "
" ... Works well for kids (and the adult in my house) ! ... "
" ... It is very durable when leaping from my night stand though and does not struggle to roll across the carpet in my bedroom. ... "
" ... I love watching him get flustered when he hits walls. ... "
" ... Take care of your investment and your new mornings and just set it on the floor each night. ... "

" ... I had a similar experience to others where Clocky did not do anything after leaping off of my table after hitting snooze once. ... "
" ... To my disappointment - the Snooze button just doesn't work, and after couple of times it started to run - it just restarted itself and became completely useless . ... "
" ... The manual is very necessary, as there are no words labeling the buttons on the clock. ... The other four buttons have one letter on them. ... "
" ... We used it twice and the snooze button is no longer functioning . ... "
" ... Snooze button dosent work ... "
" ... But the snooze button never worked and we realized it too late to return it to Amazon. ... "
" ... The buttons for setting the times for the alarm and setting the alarm to "on" are a bit confusing and don't always work. ... "
" ... I wish it didn't have a snooze button. ... "

" ... I was upset when Clocky arrived and I realized it didn't come with the tiniest screwdriver to open the battery compartment. ... "
" ... the screw wouldn't unscrew, had to pry it open, and now the batteries fall out every time it jumps. ... "
" ... He put batteries in it (the correct ones) and they don't fit snug. ... "
" ... After struggling to find tiny screwdriver to unlock the battery compartment, we put new batteries in and IT DOESNT WORK. ... "
" ... It's a cheaply built piece of junk. ... "
" ... Running away is a problem - if you put it on your night stand, you have to worry about it falling onto the ground upside down etc, and if you have carpet, you can forget it, it does not move well on carpet, so it defeats the purpose. ... "
" ... I discovered that the case cannot be opened because small pressed in plugs were used to secure the two halve of the case as opposed to screws. ... This prevents you from opening the case and making a simple repair such as screwing the wheel back on. ... "
" ... The wheels fell off and the side table it was on was only 2ft. ... We fixed it with krazy glue, but for the price this shouldn't have been an issue with the product in the first place. ... "
