Lightweight, Portable, Easy to Use
This little round sound machine stands upright on two legs and takes up very little space on a desk, a nightstand, or in a piece of luggage. It is 3 1/2 inches in diameter and about 1 3/4 inches deep. It has a USB charger, and once charged, will run as a stand alone machine. You could run it plugged in if you lay it on its face or tilted it on it's side, but the charger provided will not plug into the upright machine because the legs sit too low for that. It's quite stable both on its side and on its face, though, so it's not a major deal. The operation of the sound machine is super easy. Hold the power button for three seconds to turn it on (or off), turn the front dial to choose one of six sounds (brook, thunder, white noise, wave, wind, or bonfire). Use the + and - buttons to adjust the volume, and use the button with the picture of a light bulb to turn the night light function on. The choices are one light, three lights, or six lights, and the fourth push of that button turns the night light off. The lights fade in and out in as if they are "breathing." The night light, even with all six lights on, is not actually bright enough to function like a night light in the traditional sense--even in total darkness, it does not light up the surroundings enough to be able to see anything except the lights themselves. I think it's purpose is more to give something rhythmic to focus on while falling asleep. The sound machine can be left on continuously, or you can set a timer for increments of 20 minutes ranging from 20-120 minutes. when setting the timer, the number of lit lights, 1-6, multiplied by 20 lets you know what length of time you've set. For a basic, easy to use, lightweight, portable, stand alone sound machine that can be used at home, at work, or while traveling, this little sound machine fits the bill perfectly. 5 stars.
