Fantastic. Though there are many white noise and other sound options, I bought this due to the ocean wave sounds, which my wife really likes. Well, it did not disappoint. It sounds so realistic, it is easy to imagine you are at the beach. Also, the machine itself is compact yet it can project sound over a good distance. Finally, it is powered by either an internal rechargeable battery or plug-in AC cord (cord not included but Best Buy had what I needed).

I've had this for a month now, and have been using it nightly. I highly recommend it. I had my heart set on a mechanical white noise machine, but took a chance on this and one month in, I don't regret it. The soft lights, the quality of the sounds, the little chime it makes when you've cycled through all options of a given category, the ease of finding the volume and power buttons in the dark... this is just a well-designed product. It's intuitive to use, easy to travel with, and has a solid, well-built feel. On one occasion, I was sure I did notice a faint loop in the white noise setting - the battery was dead and I had just plugged it in to run it. After 3 minutes or so I noticed there was a recurring noise artifact every 8ish seconds... I haven't heard this since, in any of the settings, and I've been using it every night. Not sure what that was about. Overall a great product!

Ever since I was a child, National Geographic has always been one of my favorite channels on TV. I just love the wild, the openness, the calmness and serenity that comes with nature. It’s kind of something that I’ve wanted to experience for a long time, but I haven’t exactly had the opportunity to. The white noise machine though, I think is a good compromise. I mean a device that produces nature sounds? Count me in. So I finally got it and it has been unreal. I can customize just which sounds I want, and how loud I want it to be. It is just amazing. Honestly, I’ve never been more relaxed in my life. A lot of times I come back from work and I just turn it on and it calms me. I strongly recommend this machine to anyone out there who loves nature sounds like I do.

I love this little noise maker! Normally I use a fan to soothe me at night, but when it’s getting so cold outside I’d much rather have the heater on and no air blowing on me. It sounds just like the fan I used and it stays at the same volume! Even when I unplug it to use the outlet for something else, the settings stay the same – no need to worry about adjusting it when I’m exhausted at night. Just turn it on and I’m all set! There’s instructions with it, but it’s pretty easy to use, just have a little common sense. The packaging is so pretty, too, I almost want to keep it as long as I’ve kept my old phone boxes. I likely won’t ever use the other sounds, nature isn’t as relaxing as the white noise or fan settings and there’s no discernable loop which is great.

I’ve always had issues with sleeping—probably because I’m always thinking about something or the other: either work or the kids or money. Basically, there’s always something on my mind. Recently though, my wife got me this machine and, honestly, at first, I had my doubts about it. I mean, a bunch of weird sounds putting me to sleep? How does that work? Thus, I really couldn’t believe it when it actually started working. The look on my wife’s face when I woke up the next morning wondering how I dozed off was hilarious and since then, there’s no night when I don’t have this on. I’ve had much better nights and my days are so much more productive now. I’m more active, things don’t set me off as much as they used to and I just feel so much happier. Getting this machine is one of the best things to happen to me.
