Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had this product for less then a year and it began giving me trouble within the first 60 days. First, I would turn it on and get no noise out of it, I'd toggle the switch back and forth and eventually it would "catch" and stay on. Then after another month this little trick stopped working and I had to start wiggling the actual power connector where it attached to the machine to get it to work. Wiggle it back and forth for a few seconds and most of the time it would catch, most of the time. Now, as of this morning that second little trick stopped working and I am left with a motor humming sound that shows it is getting power however the product does not make the white noise any longer and just hums with power, no noise. I use this for my infant son's room to put him down for naps and sleep in our busy house and it appears that about 9 months after purchase the product is dead. I should have taken action as soon as I noticed a problem but I'm sure as any busy parent knows, there are 1000 other important things to take care of every day, so if it wasn't "completely" broke I didn't fix it. Lesson learned both from a responsiveness standpoint and a product standpoint. I will not order this expensive unit again with the history of it breaking. There are far less expensive white noise machines that I am confident do quite and adequate job at half the cost. I will give those a try instead of another investment in a product that broke so quickly.
