Customer Reviews

Has a FATAL FLAW!
This machine electronically "loops" a digitized 3 to 5 second file of each sound rather than producing a truly random sound. Because of this fatal flaw you hear tiny little "defects" or imperfections in some of the sounds which it is capable of generating. My favorite is white noise where the defects are especially audible. So, as you're trying to fall asleep your mind will quickly become aware of these defects and "anticipate" them mentally, causing you to probably "time" them in your head. An incredibly subtle defect, but it has devastating consequences for falling asleep.

This is a common problem with all of these cheaper sound therapy machines. The better ones don't seem to have this problem.

Mine is going back to Greal Lakes HHS in Erie, PA, and I'm probably going to buy a Marpac unit.

Save your $8 and order the Conair
I ordered this sound machine, along with the Conair one to try out different ones for my babies rooms. Obviously, I'm a bit sleep deprived and didn't notice that they look exactly alike in the photos. Well, I got them both and they are EXACTLY the same, only this one is white and the Conair is silver. Same size, same noises, same everything, only this one is $8 MORE expensive. Silly. It works great, but get the Conair, it works great for less money.

Works Great - although....
Pros -runs on batteries or AC...gets good mileage from batteries
-easy to operate/turn on when you are half asleep
-gets pretty loud, and the sound quality is quite good
-can set for 1 hour duration, or constantly on
Cons -most of the sounds are simply not useful. I had hopes for the ocean
waves, but they are too close together (have they never heard of
entrainment?). Birds chirping? Sounds like a wakeup call! The only
sound I have found useful is the 'running stream', but hey, it works
really well for this insomniac. I'm glad I found this thing, but wish
they had put more thought into the sounds.
