We updated this roundup in July 2021 to remove discontinued products, including the iHome Bluetooth Dual Alarm FM Clock Radio and iHome Alarm Clock Radio Docking Station. We also added in a reviewer favorite, the Jall Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock, based on positive reviewer marks and ratings.
If your iPhone's built-in alarm isn't cutting it for you, or you're trying to go device-free in your bedroom, it's time to try waking up to an actual alarm clock. It can be hard to figure out what difference between alarm clocks and which is right for you — whether you want a basic alarm clock radio, a stylish high-tech device for your smart home, or a shaking alarm clock that can even wake up the heaviest sleepers, we've rounded up the best alarm clocks for your needs.
The Good Housekeeping Institute has an extensive testing process when evaluating alarm clocks. This includes reviewing ease of use when setting alarms, turning off alarms, playing music and clock visibility. Our Lab experts also check performance when it comes to the effectiveness and accuracy of an alarm, sound quality and usefulness of added features. We even do a special slap test to evaluate durability.
When shopping, our pros recommend paying attention to the following features:
- Large screen display: Numbers should be easily legible against a well-lit screen, even from a distance.
- Radio settings: Some digital alarm clocks come with AM/FM radio capabilities. Some alarm clock radios even have the option to connect to Bluetooth to play music from your phone.
- Sound variety and vibration settings: Newer alarm clocks will feature a library of sounds for you to wake up to, and some clocks will shake the bed in hopes of waking the heaviest sleepers.
- Power functions: Standard alarm clocks stationed in the home will usually operate best on an included cable, but some clocks also offer a battery backup function, which is convenient for power outages and travel.
Some of these alarm clocks are super loud and perfect for heavy sleepers and snoozers, some are customizable, and others can even help you fall asleep, too. Say goodbye to missed wake up calls with these best alarm clocks to buy in 2021:
