Better than expected!
I bought this for my daughter's room.  Our whole house is tile, and the TV in the living room is right on the other side of the wall from where our 2 year old &#34;sleeps&#34; so she was constantly getting up and coming out of her room if my wife and I were watching TV.  This makes enough noise to drown out the TV noise in the background (I tested it by going in with her to make sure she couldn't hear the TV), and she loves the stars that the nightlight projects onto the ceiling.<br /><br />I use the Amazon brand rechargeable AA batteries, it takes 3, and typically I have to replace the batteries to charge them about once a week or so.  We typically turn it on at 8:30pm when we lay her down, and it will run all night until around 7:00am when she gets up, so the battery life is pretty good.<br /><br />All in all I would say it is definitely worth it for the price!
