Runs away fine, but then again I have tiled floors. I recommend this alarm clock to everyone who has trouble waking up in the morning. I love the the Clocky. It doesn't "hit the ground running," (as i thought it would,) it actually tumbles a bit before it gets the chance to run off. Maybe mine works great because it's a newer model. I actually think it's really loud. but great gift. reallyy cute.
- As another reviewer said, be nice if the alarm were louder.Net:I bought it cheap (elsewhere), and it's amusing even though it doesn't do the job, so I'll keep it and give it two stars instead of one star.PS - The design error is that the clock body should be offset farther beneath the axle. I'd like 'off' to be harder to achieve than 'snooze'.
Doesn't happen. Good:- The basic idea is interesting and amusing.- The alarm sound is more entertaining than the usual.- You can set the snooze interval.- It has a 'game' mode - you can make it attempt to run around the room with its wheels.Bad:- The box says "the clock that runs away." Good idea.
Net result: the clock is sitting on the floor next to my bed, acting loony, and it's almost as easy to grab and turn off as a regular clock, without my needing to wake up.- In my sleep, I don't carefully differentiate between 'off' and 'snooze'. I have a soft carpet (it's not shag or anything, just new).
With my carpet, the clock is able to roll off my nightstand but then cannot do more than twitch around in place, where it falls -- the clock wheels sink in a tiny amount and the clock body ends up going around and around, instead of the wheels going around and going somewhere. On this clock, it's no harder to hit the 'off' button than the 'snooze' button.
Maybe the design engineers had bare-wood bedroom floors at home.
Cute and loud but NOT worth the money. The wheels stopped working only after three months. Unable to obtain service or even a response from the company.
