I love this little guy!!
At first I was skeptical about purchasing this white noise machine because of the differing reviews. I've used a regular box fan to fall asleep with my whole life. But I wanted a fuller sound and I've gone through several fans over the years that work fine for a couple months but then start making weird clunking noises. This is the first white noise machine/sound conditioner that I've ever used and I love this. When I first turned it on, I wasn't thrilled with it. It took me about a week to get used to it... it was too loud and mechanical sounding... like a jet plane engine at first. But when I got used to it and played around with twisting the collar around... well, now I always have to have it on. And now I notice I sleep a lot better and I have an easier time falling asleep almost instantly as soon as I turn it on. It definitely won't completely drown out all noise but it helps to drown out any noises my family makes downstairs, my dogs barking, cats scratching at my door and neighbors snowblowing (its winter and I live in New England!) I am completely dependent on this to fall asleep now. Its so tiny, I imagine it would be super easy to take almost anywhere should I ever need to. The only drawback is that its kinda ugly. But that's honestly the only negative thing I can say about it.<br /><br />Update 1/13/19: I've been using this white noise machine basically every night for almost 6 years now and it still works amazing. This is a quality product (assuming the quality of the product hasn't changed) and this continues to be a great purchase! I can't sleep without it!
