Releases A LOT of electromagnetic radiation
I love the sound of this product.  However, I am giving it one star because it releases A LOT of electromagnetic radiation.  I use a Gauss meter to measure electromagnetic radiation for all my electrical objects -- especially the ones I sleep next to for many hours.<br /><br />I measured the Marpac Sleepmate and was atonished to see the meter go off the charts.  I thought maybe I had a defective sound machine so I checked another Marpac Sleepmate and found the same problem.  I have an electronic (non mechanical) sound machine (Sound Oasis) and it showed very little electromagnetic radiation.<br /><br />I prefer the sound and the quality of the Marpac to the Sound Oasis, but the amount of radiation is just too high to justify its use for so many hours at night.
