Every household has a few of these.
I have six of them that go off randomly, with no set schedule, no matter how I try to set them!!
Meet alarm #1
This alarm is easily set at night and quickly takes commands about what time our next day will begin. During the week it seems to function with no problem. The weekend however, seems to throw him off and he malfunctions. We wake up TOOOOO early, to the sound of Saturday morning cartoons.
Meet alarm #2
This alarm has a nak for not wanting to be set. It does not want it buttons pushed at night.
It often forgets to even go off, unless roused by the sound of a back up alarm.
Meet alarm #3
This alarm has many quirks. It is very particular about how it is set at night and refuses to go off after the sun is up, no matter how many times I reset it. It is set to wake up alarm #2 whether it is ready to go off or not. It usually involves a faulty button we have been unable to fix. It Sounds something like this when it goes off,
"GIVE IT TO ME, IT"S MINE!!!"
Meet alarm #4
This alarm refuses to cooperate with anything these days especially staying put. It seems to have a mind of it's own and can be found going off in the kitchen cupboards instead of his room.Or going off to loudly up and down the hallway.
Meet alarm # 5
I do believe this alarm is completely broken. Once set it can not seem to figure out that it takes at least 10-12 hours to be fully charged and ready for another day. I wish it came with more options, but it seems the only sound it can produce is a low crying sound that crescendo's just as sleep is taking over the master alarms tired body. Sometimes this is repeated several times during the night. Note to self: Please fix this problem SOOON???!!!!
Meet alarm #6
This alarm just recently changed rooms and now takes his que from alarm #1. It has it's wires crossed somewhere, because I did not set it to scream every time alarm # 1 goes to the bathroom.
I know there will come day when they are all broken and no matter how hard I try they will refuse to go off. They came with no owners manuel and and a return policy that is iffy,that I would NEVER take advantage of. I would sure like to use the model purchased during my husbands teenage years. I have way more control over that one!!!!!

the alarms never get any easier to set and/or work...they just get louder, more expensive and harder to figure out...oh well this is what we chose and this is just the way we like it &hearts
