- Powerful Vibration & Loud Alarm: The Mesqool vibrating alarm clock features a powerful vibrator, significantly stronger than a smartphone's vibration. It is typically placed under a pillow. For those who find the vibration too intense, placing it under a blanket can reduce its strength. This alarm clock supports two independent alarm settings, making it ideal for users who need two alarms daily, or for setting separate weekday and weekend alarms. For deep sleepers, consider using the BUZZ/VIB mode, which combines vibration and speaker alarm.
- Maitiro matatu eararm: This vibrating alarm clock offers three alarm modes:
- VIB (Vibration Only): When the vibrator is connected and the switch is set to VIB, the alarm will only vibrate without sound, ensuring you wake up without disturbing others. This silent vibration provides a gentle wake-up experience.
- BUZZ (Sound Only): The alarm will sound through the built-in speaker.
- BUZZ/VIB (Sound & Vibration): Both the speaker and vibrator will activate simultaneously for a powerful wake-up.
- 8.7-inch Mirror LED Display, Brightness & Volume Adjustment: The 8.7-inch mirror LED display provides clear, large time digits, making it easy to read. The mirror surface also serves as a functional vanity mirror. Display brightness is adjustable across 7 levels, offering energy efficiency and eye comfort, preventing sleep disturbance. Note that at the lowest brightness setting, the display may appear completely off. The alarm volume is adjustable across 7 levels (90dB to 110dB).
- Multi-functional & Easy Operation: In addition to the vibrating alarm, this clock includes a USB charging port, snooze function (9 minutes), 12/24H display, and Daylight Saving Time (DST) feature. A CR2030 button battery (included) provides memory backup, so time and alarm settings are retained during power outages, eliminating the need for re-setting. Designed for practicality, this digital alarm clock simplifies operation, making it easy for children and seniors to use.
- AC Powered neBattery Backup: This electric digital alarm clock operates on AC power, eliminating concerns about battery depletion preventing you from waking up. The included CR2030 battery serves as a backup for memory retention only, not for powering the display or alarm functions.
