Much better than a box fan
My husband liked to sleep with a box fan, but I didn't like how it blew cold air and took up a lot of space. This sound machine has been a great replacement. Being able to adjust the sound tones is a real plus. The only down-side is that it is a bit bulky and not particularly attractive. For travel, we purchased [[ASIN:B0001LCJMK Sharper Image Travel Sound Soother 20 Travel Alarm Clock (SI601TNM)]], which is pricey, but does the job away from home.
