I am a light sleeper and I have thin walls, so I will not be investing in the Sonic Bomb alarm clock. It is loud, damn loud with a maximum decibel output of 113 db. That is not as loud as a jackhammer, but it is almost as loud as a car horn. Seriously, if you are exposed to it for over a minute and a half, you are potentially damaging your hearing. As if that was not annoying enough to get you out of bed, it also has a bed shake setting. If you are old, or have heart trouble, you might want to turn the volume down. If you have thin walls it would be a good idea too. Even the most tolerant of neighbors probably do not want more decibels than a helicopter can produce. This alarm clock easily makes the top ten most annoying alarm clocks.

Since it looks like a good day to talk about original alarm clocks with cartoon characters as the theme, it is time for the Simpsons Jukebox.
As expected by the drunken family member of the Simpsons - Homer - he is holding a beer on the left hand and has the looks of someone who has been drinking for quite some time, but you should be used to it after watching the yellow-cartoons-comic-series for over 10 years.
On the more technical side of the product, consider it very alike to the Hello Kitty - it features the normal functions every radio alarm clock should have, by now you should know them, if not, check the product page.
Price: $36
The Iron Alarm Clock Radio will not only get you up in the morning, it will also serve as an auto-scan FM radio and an iPod amplifier.
If you’re wondering why it looks like an iron, your guess is as good as mine. Although I must say that with all of the alarm clocks and iPod related gadgets on the market, being weird is just about the only way to stand out from the crowd. After all, it’s weird enough that I felt compelled to write about it - and if someone makes an alarm clock / iPod amplifier shaped like Tom Selleck’s head, I’ll probably write about that too. The weirder the better.

LED lights and alarm clocks are not a new subject here at UberReview, but this one looks so good that I just have to talk about it.
With a good code name - Arnott’s Novelties Alarm Clock - it features a flexible neck so you can point it exactly where you want to, 5 white LEDs, displays the time and still has an alarm clock.
Think about how good this 2-in-1 gadget can become for your nightly readings, being able to bend it and point the light to the book is certainly a strong point, if only it had a radio as well…
Anyway, the Arnott clock is available in black or white in case you want to match it with the rest of the furniture.
Price: $32
PS - Add this one to the YAAC - Yet Another Alarm Clock.
