Overall great product
We use this as a white noise machine to help our infant daughter sleep. It works pretty well, but my only complaint is that I wish it could get a little bit louder. We live in a small house, and noise from other rooms in the house is still audible (although faint) over this machine. It's a great deal for the price though, and it's not so bad that I am going to buy a different machine. I like that it runs on an on/off switch rather than a timer, as some other brands do - this way, when I turn this machine on, it is on until I turn it off - no spontaneous shut-offs that lead to her waking up.<br /><br />UPDATE: 9/20/2015 - almost 2 years later, and I feel like I should update this review. We have been using this sound machine every night (and nap time) since we bought it. I originally thought it wasn't quite loud enough for our daughter's nursery, but over time I have come to realize that it is just the right volume and level to help her sleep without me having to be concerned about her hearing. There are other 'sleep noise' products that are probably just too LOUD to be using every night. With this Dohm sound machine, I don't worry about whether her hearing is being negatively impacted by the noise. It IS possible to hear loud noises outside of the room when using this machine, but the machine provides a great sound to dull most noises to a background level. It also is not so loud that it is distracting or intrusive in a way that would keep you from falling asleep.<br />In the 2 years we have been using this, my daughter has slept great. We even pack it with us when we travel - I am willing to give up valuable suitcase carry-on room for this machine when we fly, so that should let you know how great I think it is. My daughter even asks me to turn the machine on before she goes to bed if I forget.<br />I am currently ordering a 2nd of this same item since we are expecting a new baby again, and I want to use this machine in the newborn's nursery as well since it's been so helpful for promoting good sleep for our first child.<br />I've updated my product review to 5 stars.
