perfect.......2007-12-26
i recommend it for any one from 3 years to 100. it has a speaker,2 headphone jacks and you can put in more memory.
DO NOT BUY THIS is you plan on using Napster, Itunes, etc........2007-12-26
When you purchase an "MP3" player these days, you're actually expecting to be able to play not only MP3 files, but MP4 files, WMV files, and so forth. This device, however, only actually plays MP3 files, which is noted in very small print in the instruction manual. Music download sites like Napster & Real Rhapsody use WMV format. You can get MP4 through Itunes, but not MP3s. So that means you cannot download ANY music from the big music download sites onto a Shaker. MP3 is now an "old" format. Unless you're planning only on ripping songs from a CD to put on the Shaker, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I got this for my son for Christmas & am very disappointed that I cannot download any of his favorite songs onto it. The product description needs to be much clearer about the severe limitations of the product.
Taking it back..........2007-12-26
I gave this Sansa Shaker to my 6.5 year old daughter for Christmas today. Tomorrow I am taking it back and getting her a different one. The idea behind this product is great. Perfect for young children around 6-10 years old, sounds pretty good, downloading songs was a breeze, it has an external speaker which is nice and the ability to have 2 headsets plugged into it at once is really great. The problem with it, (and I consider it a big one and the reason why it is going back), is the design. If you look at it in the photo's, you will see the bottom most white stripe. This stripe is used to forward and reverse through songs by way of twisting forward and back. The sliver of pink below that actually screws on and off to reveal the battery compartment and memory card slot. The pink sliver screws on and off with less then one quarter of a turn, therefore, when you are advancing through music you are unscrewing the cap. I have a feeling that SanDisk knew this was a problem because the cap is secured with string. So, my daughter walked around all day today with the cap dangling from the unit. I would highly recommend to those thinking of buying this to reconsider and research other MP3 players.
Go with an I-Pod.......2007-12-25
Very frustrating. I been working with this shaker for over an hour. It loads the music fine, but will say Uh-oh when trying to play. I have changed formats and nothing is working. A big waste of $30 + shipping times two. Both of my daughters are very dissapointed. I will be getting them I-Pods and sending these back to Amazon. This little "gem" had very few instructions and the CD that came with it didn't have much more information. I'd like to think I'm pretty well versed with a computer and couldn't crack the code on the shaker. Good luck to the 8 year olds out there- maybe they will have better luck.
Absolutely Frustrating.......2007-12-25
I bought these for my twin six year old sons and I'm returning them. You need to twist the bottom to change songs and it's right next to the battery compartment which twists the same way. What genius thought of this design?! A simple lock on the battery lid would have done the job. Instead it falls open all the time and my boys (and I) get so frustrated. Did Sansa even test this product?!

Great sounds for waking.......2007-12-17
I was away on business when I first saw this model in a hotel room. Wow, what a soothing sound to hear in the morning. I thought of my wife who has hated my other "Annoying" alarm clocks. I bought this model soon after returning home.
The alarm features are easy to operate and flexible to my schedule. The numbers are large and easy to read for the experienced eyes of life. The tuner is sensitive to pickup those favorite FM stations on the low band, which are often not possible on a cheaper radio.
This has been a great investment for our bedroom.
no problems with failure here.......2007-12-14
I have owned this Timex alarm clock for a year now and have had no warranty issues. True, the Alarm OFF button is too close to the snooze, but it hasn't been a big issue for me. Maybe it has happened 2-3 times in a year (my backup-backup alarm is my 2 year old in his crib)
It is nice to play the radio in the mornings, after I'm awake, just to get the weather or what not, and not worry about forgetting to turn it off.
good clock.
Great Buy! Just set it and forget it!.......2007-11-21
This is just what I've been looking for in an alarm clock. The best thing is that you have 3 different alarm settings. So you can set it for week days and weekends. I use the other for my husband, since he works nights and it never bothers me. No more resetting the alarm clock before bed EVERY NIGHT. It has relieved a lot of problems for us! It also has a radio that works quite well. The stations come in clear and the sound is really good for such a little clock. The clock also has a backup battery that saves all of your settings if you loose power. I also enjoy the nature sounds. The meadow sound comes in handy when I need to relax.
The only negative thing I can say about it is that the alarm isn't all that loud. You get to set the level, I'm just used to our ancient alarm clock that woke the neighbors. It's not a problem since I sleep with it on my nightstand two feet from my head.
All in all, I'd have to say that this is a great buy for the money. I've never found an alarm clock that worked so well and saved me so much time!
Wonderful waking.......2007-10-27
This alarm clock changed the way I wake up... Instead of a harsh beeping in my ear, I now wake up to the sounds of the ocean and seagulls (one of four nature sounds you can choose). Though the buttons are small and you do need to spend some time reading to get to know this clock, it wakes you effectively and kindly. I find that I don't need to hit snooze nearly as often as I used to.
Great little clock radio.......2007-10-11
I really like this clock radio. I now own two. It is compact, has alarm settings for weekdays and weekends and a bunch of presets. It is great around the house, in the bathroom and has a battery backup.
