I use this every night. I never notice when the trash truck comes through right outside my window. I never hear the neighbors dog barking. I'm a lifelong light sleeper. I like this one more than the last brand I tried since the sound clips seem longer or more varied. The last sound machine I tried used very short sound clips that would "repeat" every few seconds so I could just about "sing" along with the raindrops. Very distracting. This one has a nice mix of sounds, though I can't give it a perfect sound rating since the "rainforest" sound is either broken on mine, or natural sounds staticky. Oh well, I like rainfall best.

Working the night shift means sleeping during the day, and this device really helped mask daytime noises. Some of the sounds are more effective than others, of course. Although the noise isn't truly random, the patterns themselves help focus the mind on going to sleep - sort of like counting sheep. In all, this seems to be a really good machine for the price - it works for me!

I love this machine!!! The sounds are very authentic and soothing. The sounds take you away from your stressful life and make you feel more at ease. It is very affordable and everything you would expect from a sound machine. I give it an A+.

I usually always read the reviews on all of our purchases, making it easy to see if the lowest priced one is indeed worth getting. Ours arrived about an hr. ago and the husband, I, and our doxie checked it out thoroughly. It was unanimous!!! A great item at a wonderful price. I was both surprised and thrilled that it came with the adapter. The same one on other sites don't include it.

As we age, we both snore more. This helps mask that and lets us continue to share a bed. It also helps with outside noises like sirens and neighbors coming home at 3 a.m. We only use the white noise, but the other settings seem pretty good, too.

Helps babies and toddlers sleep peacefully. Lulls to sleep quickly and promotes naps for toddlers.

It helps me to sleep with it's soothing sounds. Drowns out unpleasant noises.

Sounds are not very convincing imitations and looping is very annoying (sounds not random). If you can use it without paying attention to the technical deficiencies it may be ok, but not for our family.

i used this device for a very short period of time and the device has not been manufactured to last as long as the manufacturer states that it will last. the manufacturer states that this device will give "years" of service. i used it for only a few months when it stopped performing completely! manufacturer should not sell this device to the public!

This machine is very lightweight and has enough different sound options to pick from. Many of the sounds are very similar, but I typically pick the Ocean sounds anyway. I like the timer on it so it will click off during the night.
