Alarm clock or mobile device? Both have their pros and cons when you need to set an alarm to wake you up in the morning.
For many, it’s hard to beat the versatility of a smart phone or tablet. After all, why wouldn’t you want an alarm clock that connects to your favorite apps and Internet sites, giving you instant access to a staggering array of information and services before you even leave the bed?
Smart phones and tablets get lost, however, and they also run out of battery power. A traditional bedside alarm clock can be far more reliable because it stays put, plugged in, and set to your desired wake-up time. It can also serve as a stylish and functional piece of home décor, adding to the interior design of your bedroom while allowing you to check the time at a moment’s glance.
Billed as the “world’s best alarm clock,” the Sandman Doppler Alarm Clock combines the best features of the traditional alarm clock and the mobile device into a single unit. To begin with, the Doppler is Amazon Alexa enabled, so you can communicate with it simply by speaking to it. Like any Alexa device, it is connected to the Internet to answer any questions that you might have. This means that you can get up-to-the-second morning news, weather, and traffic reports without even rolling over. The Doppler also features 6 USB charging ports, full-range stereo speakers, and a display that can be altered to match any décor.
