Good for Sleeping Baby
Our circa 1923 house has terrible squeaky wood floors, and all of our kids walk like elephants, so it is really tricky to keep a baby asleep. After reading reviews on several sleep-machine products, we decided the SleepMate 580A sounded like our best bet. We have been using it for about 3 weeks now, and we are very satisfied. It sounds a lot like a vaporizer running. I honestly expect to feel a cool mist when I walk past it. In our opinion, it is too loud to have right in our 12x12 bedroom, but the amount of noise it makes sitting right outside the door is perfect. You can still hear all of the other noises in the house (I still know when our teenage son gets home at night.), but the constant humming keeps other noises from being such a jolt to your system and waking you up. I really do think the baby is sleeping better. I would recommend this for anyone trying to sleep through noisy situations.<br />(Jan. 2016 - Still working, although it seems a little quieter than it used to be. We are all so hooked on it, that we still use it every night, even though the "baby" is 6.)
