Love Alarm!

I’ve used this alarm clock for years. The gradual waking and bell sounds are so gentle. I love that once you set the alarm it tells you how many hours until you need to be up which helps me get an idea of how much sleep I’m getting each night. I totally recommend this for people who don’t like to be jolted awake.

Best Da Gone Alarm Out There

Exactly what I was looking for with bella/bowls that get progressively louder as the alarm keeps going.

Volume issue

I’ve been using this alarm for years. However, the last 3 months, when the alarm goes off, there is no sound. My volume is at max too.
