Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have purchased six of these machines over the past four years. So obviously I like them. I use one in my room, and one in each of my children’s rooms. I also take them to the grandparents house for the girls sleeping. Pros: Price. This is one of the least expensive sound machines one can find. Portability. This machine is quite small, and easily fits into diaper bag or suitcase when traveling. Noise level volume. A lot of more expensive sound machines do not go as high in volume, which is most important to me in a white noise machine. Ease of use: my 2 1/2 year-old can easily operate the sound machine. Cons: Battery Compartment. For the life of me, I can never get the batteries to stay in, because the battery compartment inevitably opens and I lose battery or two. I have tried taping the battery compartment shut, but eventually the door loosens, and the batteries pop out a little bit. It doesn’t impact me that much since I primarily use the AC adapter, but I would like it to be a little bit more reliable where I to be traveling. Longevity. I presently have six of these machines, two of which should be going in the trash, but I simply cannot bring myself to throw them away. After about a year of use, consistently they have stopped being reliable. A few times they will just stop randomly in the middle of the night having nothing to do with power or being bumped or anything. Simply a flaw in the longevity of the product. For this reason I’m going to be purchasing a couple different machines to try out. Overall this sound machine is excellent. I use it for at least 14 hours per day, for it to last a year is a great accomplishment for that much use. It is reliable until that year mark and has so many great features. I do highly recommend it especially if you will be using the AC adapter primarily.
