This is an excellent soundmaker. We own 2 other soundmakers, having young kids, the Dohm and the Lectrofan (our favorite). 

What we liked about this machine:
-5 of the 6 sound modes; all the nature sounds are great. The white noise only has one option and white noise sound is a personal thing, I liked the range of white noise sounds on the Lectrofan so you can find an exact tone you like. That said it's a perfectly acceptable white noise. 
-takes batteries (neither of our other sound machines can run on batteries - this is a big + for camping or road trips)
-light
-easy to pack
-easy to use/operate
-clean design aesthetic [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
