Basic but functional with some annoying design decisions
"White Noise Machine Afloia with Breathing Night Light for Sleeping, Sound Machine for Baby and Adult..."<br /><br />This device accomplishes its primary function, but it's held back by a few strange design choices.<br /><br />The sound loops are short, and there's an audible sound artifact in the splice between loops on at least some of the tracks. (The join sounds like a distant bird chirp.) It's not really very annoying, but it does come around every 90 seconds.<br /><br />The speaker quality is so-so. I've definitely heard better from other devices in a similar price range. It can be set fairly loud if you want but stops short of what would be dangerous for young ears I think.<br /><br />To select the noise loop, you just turn the front knob, and an associated light signals the selected loop. Unfortunately, the loops aren't visually marked on the machine otherwise, so unless you memorize where each loop is, it's kind of meaningless.<br /><br />Most annoying is that even though you can charge this while using it, the very dumb decision to put the charging port on the bottom of the unit means that you have to flip the machine over onto its back to charge it while using it. This particular design decision is really dumb. Also, the included cable is white but the unit is black, which just looks odd.<br /><br />I wouldn't recommend this device, but it does work as promised, in a basic, minimal way, which is why I think it deserves two stars.
