iLuv Smart Shaker, Wireless Shaker for Hearing Impaired & Heavy Sleepers, 20 Alarms, Call & App Alerts, Bluetooth, Rechargable Battery, Auto DST, iOS & Android Compatible

The bed shaker alarm proves indispensable for individuals with visual impairment or hearing loss, or both. Traditional alarm clocks pose challenges as I struggle to see the digits when setting, the alarm. With hearing aids, off during sleep,I could not hear audible alarm sound. during sleep. After much searching, I finally stumbled upon this product, and I couldn't be happier.For the visually impaired, the alarm can be set using the smartphone's built-in screen reader that audibly announces the time. Meanwhile, for the hearing impaired, the powerful vibration ensures even the deepest sleepers awaken. The only additional feature I wish it had is the ability to shake upon receiving phone calls, allowing me to be aware of incoming calls during bedtime.Installation of the bed shaker is a breeze. It arrived almost fully charged, allowing me to quickly pair it with my Android smartphone via the Smart Shaker 3 app. The vibration strength at the highest setting of 5.0 is more than sufficient. I placed the shaker under my mattress instead of my pillow. and I could still feel the strong vibration.Notably, the shaker is cordless, and although not explicitly mentioned in the manual, leaving the USB-C cable plugged in seems to provide continuous power, eliminating the need for frequent recharging.I am immensely thankful to the company behind Smart Shaker 3. Thanks to this innovative device, I no longer need to rely on others to set my alarm, sparing my loved ones from this inconvenience.

I typically sleep through a beeping alarm, so I was worried I wasn't going to find something that would wake me up when the old cellphone I was using on vibrate finally stopped working. The Smart Shaker 3 actually works and I do not sleep through it. I like that I can set various alarms for various days/times, change the vibration level if necessary (level 1 works perfect), and the app is easy to use.**Edit** one thing would make this better - the snooze button is flushed with the device, which sometimes makes it difficult to find the snooze button when waking up. Maybe having it stick out some so that it is easier to locate when stumbling to press would be helpful.

It wakes my daughter up! She has a sleep disorder that causes her to sleep very deep and makes her near impossible to wake up. We tried loud alarm clocks, only to have complaints taken from college roommates because she would still sleep through them. She has the iLuv Smart Shaker 2 and it helped but only if she remembered to charge her phone. The Smart Shaker 3 has a significantly stronger vibration, it holds the alarm times and is not reliant on a phone being charged plus it can send notifications from texts or phone calls! It has the ability to turn on other app notifications too, such as continuous glucose monitor apps. The one downside is the switch on the side sticks up just enough that depending on the puck’s placement the vibration can switch it off. She puts a piece of electric tape over it to ensure that doesn’t happen. Overall, a great purchase!

I am hard of hearing and can't hear my iPhone ring when I take my hearing aids out. I rarely need something that I can rely on to wake me up if someone calls but I had a need, needed it quick, found this on Amazon and pulled the trigger.I actually had one of these from about 5 years ago. I found it and plugged it in, charged it up but it is dead. I considered another brand because of this but Li ion batteries don't last forever, especially if they're used. The iLuv is less expensive than the other brand I found so I decided to give them another chance.As someone else wrote in another review, this company seems to have been continually improving this product. It shows.The shaker comes neatly packed in a box with nice, easy to read instructions. All I had to do is charge it a bit, turn on my iPhone and it paired with the app and bluetooth seamlessly. From there it is as easy as opening the app and either scheduling an alarm or just letting it do it's magic.This thing actually and incredibly works for everything I need, which is, in order of importance, phone calls, Teams calls (most people these days work for companies where coworkers insist on calling you via Teams and not just your mobile number), and text.With the adjustable vibration setting I turned it all the way up and I am confident I won't miss someone trying to reach me.It is hard to overstate what a huge thing it is to trust a little device like this. The last time I needed this I stayed up all night waiting for a call that never came (that's the deal for me unfortunately, I won't know if I'm needed unless / until someone calls me). I am getting too old to do that and a sleepless night makes me a very unhappy camper. My night still won't be fun but the rest I can get placing my trust is some of the best money I've ever spent.If you are in a similar situation and either a heavy sleeper, deaf / hard of hearing or just want something to give you a jolt if someone is trying to reach you this thing does the job. A+ from me.

This is much improved from the first one i bought several years ago. The APP is slow to respond but works. Easy to set alarms, also with messaging apps and phone calls it works well. I keep it under the mattress as the vibration is strong. Battery life i got 30 days with the first charge, mainly just alarms not too many messages or calls. Once i remove my hearing aids i only have 10% hearing.
