Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: We bought our original about 13 years ago and we're buying another one. All three that we own have lasted through multiple trips (both with the plug and battery) and three kids who aren't always the most gentle with things. The one we're replacing only stopped working because it got wet when it was too close to a window during a rainstorm. We use three every night: one for each bedroom. ++++++ We bought this product to use in our daughter's room (she's less than a year old). We had previously used a small desktop fan on the floor to "white noise" out the house sounds (we have hardwood floors throughout the house and everything sounds like it's happening just outside the door). While the fan was okay, this is MUCH better. It's smaller, lighter weight and I was happy to get rid of the fan since it cooled the room down considerably (something we didn't need in the middle of winter in New England). We bought a second one for our room. Our home is close to the highway and at night it now feels like we are miles away from the busy road. I also like the battery/plug option. It'll be handy for when we travel. This is going to be the baby shower gift I give from now on!
