different sounds I can choose from to listen to, and my cats go crazy when they hear the birds chirping, so it has been an amusing as well as useful product. I do wish the number display was different as the numbers seem faint no matter what adjustment I make, but they are certainly bright and large enough for me to read from across the room. I love falling asleep to different sounds and the alarm is quite easy to use, much easier than what I previously had. Dissapointed We have five pets, so the idea of sleeping soundly through the night was really appealing. The Sound Soother lets you preview the 20 sounds on the web, which is why we chose it. However, 10 out of 20 sounds dont work. Given that, I have no faith in the reliability of the rest of the functions. We ordered 3 products from Sharper Image and all three are from China. I would be willing to pay more for American made products if I could find them. First Rate Good sound options. I use several, depending on my mood. Easy to set up. Excellent as a clock; but the sound puts it over the top. Very nice Although the relatively high price made me hesitate, so far Im very happy with this clock. The quality of the sounds is good, unlike most nature sound machines. It offers a great assortment of sounds, and it was nice to be able to try them
