 Questionable quality |
| Review Date: July 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: GAB, Fullerton, CA |
Compared to my last unit--lasted at almost 12 years and had incredible battery
life--ran for 9 hours at night for 4-5 nights--this one
lasts one night and the batteries have to be replaced. The
wind sound is creepy. Difficulty enough sleeping without
worrying about batteries and sounds. it seems to have a mind
of its own. |
So-So product

| It only works with the in-machine sounds but that's okay. The free sound card just didn't work. But for the price and ease of use it's a pretty good product. |
Great For The Price, Blocks Disturbing Noise

| Reviewer: J. Claridge, Chicago |
I work night shift, and before getting this device, struggled with noise from my kids downstairs. Adding to the craziness is that my 1yo niece is often babysat at my house while I'm trying to sleep. (Not to mention traffic noise, garbage trucks, and other pleasantries of life). I wanted something for "white noise" to drown out those other noises.
I did my shopping. I considered everything from the Marpac devices to the expensive but very interesting EcoTones.
I landed on this unit, and it has exceeded my expectations for its intended use. I can't say that the sounds themselves are all that great, accurate, or even natural sounding. The speaker sure isn't going to win any awards, either. I can't really say the thing transports me to the beach or rainforest. The sounds are really just different frequencies of white noise to me... but that's why I like it so much. Depending on the particular disturbance, I can select a noise that does a really good job of masking it. From baby cries, to kids yelling, to snowthrowers outside and garbage trucks... it seems each sound does a particularly good job at masking certain frequencies. When you find the right one, it's like the noise completely disappears. Really! At first, I'd even turn the unit off for a sec to make sure the sound was still there!
I have a nightstand that's taller than my bed, and I mounted the unit to the side at the same level as my head. Works fantastically. Volume is not an issue at all. I cannot turn it up all the way on any sound without it being too loud (on AC power). The speaker directs the sound out of the back of the unit, so I imagine mounting it to something to reflect the sound works better than having it free-standing with nothing behind it.
I must disagree with the other reviewer that seems to believe the best place to put this would be near the source of the offending sound. You need to put this as close to your head as reasonably possible. I really love the extra-large on/off button on the front. Even the smaller sound-selection buttons at the bottom are a cinch to find and select in the dark. It's very easy to switch it on with minimal thought & effort if an offending noise suddenly rears its ugly head. Then you're back off to la-la land without being totally woken up.
I don't use this everyday, but when I do have the need for it, it really fits the bill. I've had mine now for going on a year and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended if you want to mask other noises. Not so much if you're looking for realistic nature sounds to whisk you off to a far-away place. |
Couldn't ask for more

| Very easy to use and as real as it gets sounds. We can finally get to sleep easily and operations are even easy for my electronic illiterate wife. |
Good No-frills Sound Machine for the Price

| Reviewer: Hank Hyujnuhtz, Korea |
I was trying to figure out which sound machine to buy for my shorty for christmas and deliberated quite a bit. I eventually chose this machine because it was one of the cheapest, and I wasn't sure if she would like any machine so why not go cheap.
This little guy is all you need, as far as I'm concerned. It's about the size of a hardcover book. Very light and portable. Most of the sounds suck (there is a loud vacuum cleaner sound - who the heck wants to hear that?), but the waves and the rain create good background noise. Does it sound like a real ocean? No, of course not. But I doubt anything does. These two sounds are pleasant and they seem to help shorty sleep. The extra sound card it comes with is worthless, all the sounds are awful. But again, who cares? It's got a few sounds that do the job perfectly, and its the most reasonably priced device out there.
Most negative reviews comment on the lack of battery power. That effectively makes it useless for international travel, unless you travel with a voltage converter. If this is not a concern for you, buy this puppy |
