Clarity Wake Assure Jolt review

The Wake Assure Jolt is Clarity's portable option. It is a small battery-powered unit that sits on the nightstand or goes under the pillow, held in place with an included lanyard and pillow clip. Clarity lists an 80 dB alarm, two vibration intensity levels and five alert settings, including vibration only and a strobe light setting, which gives a Deaf user two ways to wake without sound. Snooze runs from 5 to 60 minutes, the display has a backlight and a 12 or 24 hour format, and the unit also works as a timer and a flashlight. It takes one AAA and two AA batteries, included, and carries a one-year warranty. Like the Geemarc Voyager, the alarm runs for 1 minute, which is a real limit for very deep sleepers. Clarity's site does not list a price, so pricing is pending.
