Q: How long does the propeller stay in the air?
A: The Flying Alarm Clock's propeller shoots approximately 8 feet into the air. If it doesn't hit the ceiling and ricochet around a bit, its flight will last about 3-4 seconds.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What if you lose the propeller?
A: We do not sell replacement propellers. Unless your Flying Alarm Clock is sitting by an open window, we don't know how it would get lost. How messy is your room!?

Q: My flying alarm clock rarely flys high enough and it spins rapiedly and i have brand new batteries in it why won't it work?????????????????????????????????????!
A: Hm, well we're not sure why the rapid spinning would be a problem, as this would help propel it into the air. Also, we're not sure how high is not "high enough". In our experience, the Flying Alarm Clock's propeller launches about 8 feet up in the air. If you feel your clock is defective, please give us a call at 800-476-1991 so that we can look up your order.

Q: will the alarm go off eventually if you loose the propeller?
A: Without returning the propeller to the Flying Alarm Clock's base, the other ways to turn off the alarm are to switch the alarm button to "off", unplug the clock, or wait a long time for the batteries to die.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I have seen some products have a siren instead of "plane taking off" as the alarm sound. Is there the possiblity of switching between the two alarm sounds?
A: The Flying Alarm Clock only has one alarm sound ("plane taking off"). If you would like a clock with a siren alarm, check out our Fire Bell Alarm Clock. It's super loud!

A: Sorry, we don't know when the Flying Alarm Clock was invented.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: This is the single most coolest funniest hilarious awesome thing i've ever seen. I'm buying one tomorow!!! an even better idea would be an alarm clock where the ENTIRE clock would fly around the room
A: If you decide to invent that, let us know.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will anything in my bedroom (say, a ceiling fan) damage the alarm clock's propeller?
A: It's possible, but not likely. The propeller is made of a sturdy, semi-flexible plastic that should stand up to regular use.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: when and why was the flying alarm clock invented?Is it possible to get the manufacturing process under academic terms?
A: We don't know exactly why the Flying Alarm Clock was invented, but we're going to guess it was so that people had to get out of bed in order to turn off their alarm clock. Vat19 does not manufacture this item and we do not know the manufacturing process.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: you said in another question that it can be unplugged, so do you offer this clock with an AC Plug instead of AA Batteries?
A: No, the Flying Alarm Clock does not come with an adapter, but it can be used with one. You should be able to find a suitable adapter at any electronics store.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Could I buy two and make them fight each other?
A: No. Unfortunately, the Flying Alarm Clocks only stay up for 10-15 seconds. The fight wouldn't be very exciting at all.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How high does the propeller Fly??
A: The propeller usually reaches a max height of about 8 feet.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there any chance the alarm clock will fly away from my house and never come back? while the prospect of flying electronics is appealing, I'd rather not have a $25 item just up and leave my house.
A: Wow, talk about abandonment issues. As shown in the video, the flying alarm clock will fly about 8 feet into the air, spin around a bit, then drop back to the floor. If you have pets, you might want to make sure that they won't be able to run off with the propeller.

Q: Is this the best idea of all times?
A: Indeed it is.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Why does the snooze button turn off the alarm even when the helicopter part is not in place? This completely undermines the purpose for me. Is there a way to take the snooze button off completely?
A: Unfortunately, no, there is not a way to turn off the Snooze function. However, pushing the Snooze button doesn't turn off the alarm completely. The alarm will keep going off every five minutes until you get up, fetch the propeller, and put it into place on the clock.

Q: if i slam the alarm clock with my HANDS it will shut up, i know this because i tried it out yesterday(i need to buy like 10,cuz ill break them all) I like the song "Mad" by Ne-Yo,Do you? I Do
A: Well, I suppose the Flying Alarm Clock could be quieted by breaking it, but why would you want to do that? Although, we have no problem with you purchasing ten clocks - please feel free! (As for Ne-Yo, I haven't had the pleasure of hearing that song before, but I'm glad you enjoy it.)
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How long does the propeller stay in the air?
A: The propeller usually shoots about 8 feet in the air. If it doesn't hit anything (like the ceiling or a wall), it will probably stay in flight for about 3-5 seconds.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: OK, this looks awesome and all, BUT . . . can it chop off a five year old's fingers?
A: No, the propeller does not have any sharp edges that would be harmful to a 5-year-old, or anyone for that matter. It's very light and somewhat flexible, so injuries are highly unlikely.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Where do I get the banana trail to get the gorilla out of my house?
A: I've never seen a whole "banana trail" for sale. You'll have to buy a bunch of bananas from the grocery store and create your own trail.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: wouldnt that be really annoying if you lost the propeller? lol
A: Yes, it would. But that's the whole point of the Flying Alarm Clock - to annoy you until you get out of bed.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: My ceiling is only 8 feet tall,and it's supposted to go 8 feet up, therefore, it shall wang my ceiling. Shall such ceiling-propeller wangatude break the little helicopter and perhaps the world?
A: Nah, the little helicopter and the world should be OK. The propeller may ricochet off the ceiling, but it will do so softly (since it will have reached its max height by that point), so it shouldn't incur much damage.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How do you tell if it's AM or PM? I don't what to hear it twice a day.
A: Once you roll over into the PM hours, a tiny "P" appears in the upper left hand corner of the flying alarm clock's screen. It's not shown in any of the pictures above, but we did test one and it does differentiate between AM and PM.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: This alarm clock clearly doesn't work. In the video the propeller lands on the guy's bed, making it easy for him to simply put it back on the alarm clock. How can I be sure this won't happen to me?
A: The propeller is liable to fly anywhere in a room. Where it lands is completely random. It can easily fly into the ceiling and bounce away at a nearly 90 degree angle and end up in a corner of your room.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can i buy an adaptor for my flying alarm clock, so i don't have to keep changing my batteries
A: You can use an adapter with the Flying Alarm Clock, but unfortunately it only powers the propeller. You will still need to use batteries in order to power the clock and alarm functions.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

A: There is a 6-month manufacturer's warranty on the Flying Alarm Clock.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is the default once set, "alarm"? My daughter "forgets" to set her alarm virtually every day.
A: Yes, once you turn on the alarm, it will ring (and fly!) every morning at the same time. Your daughter just has to make sure she puts the propeller back in place - that quiets the alarm and resets it for the next day.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: THIS ALARM CLOCK RULES! Does it have an alarm clock? ^^
A: Yes, the Flying Alarm Clock is an alarm clock.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What happens if the propel is somehow mixed up with my bed sheet during the night and in the morning i find my self flying over the neighborhood?
A: That's quite a scenario! The plastic propeller can not propel the weight of a human, so unfortunately you won't be getting a flight around your neighborhood courtesy of the Flying Alarm Clock.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you superglue this to a model airplane for a gyrocopter? Do you recommend it? What would be the callsign for it?
A: We're not sure that it would be able to support much additional weight. We recommend using the flying alarm clock as packaged, but if you decide to modify it, you can choose a call sign based on the standard naming conventions described over at Wikipedia under "call sign".
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will the propeller poke out my eye?
A: We really, really doubt that the flying alarm clock would hurt your eyes.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: There is supposed to be a test button that sounds the alarm and launches the propeller. When I push it I get the alarm but no propeller launch. What gives?
A: To launch the flying alarm clock's propeller, you will need to press the test button down for approximately 5 seconds. If you push it too quickly, it will not have enough time to launch successfully.

Q: After I wake the gorila with seven Flying Alarm Clocks ringing simultaneously, how do I get it out of my house?
A: Banana trail.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: hahahaha
A: :D
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is there a way to attach razor blades to the propeller so it shaves me in the morning?
A: While we applaud your creative thinking, the Flying Alarm Clock's use as a razor is not recommended. Its flight pattern is highly unpredictable and would most likely result in a shave that's a little too close for comfort.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How loud is the alarm itself?
A: While there is not an actual decibel rating for the Flying Alarm Clock, you can get an idea of the sound by watching our video on the product page.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Do you suggest mounting this on the ceiling, or would it be better just to keep it on a shelf, nightstand, etc.?
A: We suggest keeping it on a nightstand or shelf.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it true that I can just slide the switch to "Off" and it will turn off the alarm? Won't I get used to that and do it all the time?
A: Sliding the switch to "Off" turns off the alarm setting; it doesn't silence the alarm once it starts ringing. To silence the alarm, you would have to retrieve the propeller or remove the batteries.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does the propeller's free-fall could possibly hurt the user when it hits his/her face? Have you tried a practical test regarding on this?
A: It is possible for the propeller to land on you in its free fall, as you'll see in our product video above. However, it is very light and has no pointy edges, so it is highly unlikely that someone could be hurt. We have yet to receive any reports of injury due to the falling propeller.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how do you set the alarm
A: To set the alarm, press the MODE button twice. The hour will begin flashing. Press the UP button to set the hour (take note of AM/PM). Press the SET button. The minutes will now being flashing. Press the UP button to set the minutes. Press MODE to return to clock mode. An alarm icon on the clock display indicates that the alarm is on.
