Fantastic White Noise Machine
This is a great white noise machine, packed with a lot of little features that make a big difference. I love that it has a built-in rechargeable battery and can be charged over usb type-c. This makes it incredibly portable, allowing it to be charged with the included wall adapter, a portable battery bank, or even a laptop computer. And with more and more devices using type-c cables, it just makes it very easy to only have to carry along one cable to use across all of my electronics.<br /><br />It comes with 7 white noises, 7 fan noises and 15 natural sounds, bringing it to a total of 29 sounds to choose from. I honestly only use about 5 of the included sounds myself, but still great to have the variety. It also has a built-in RGB night light where you can not only control the color, but also set a lighting mode. I particularly like using the pulsing mode, however you can choose a mode to cycle through all the colors, you can set the brightness, and can simply turn it off entirely. Best of all, it will remember your selected options even after powering down, so you don't have to re-select them every single time you use this. Lastly, you have the option to run it indefinitely or you can set an auto-shutoff timer of either 30, 60 or 90 minutes.<br /><br />The build quality is quite good. Buttons have a nice tactile click, the volume dial spins just fine and it has a nice rubber ring at the bottom to keep it from sliding around your table. It's relatively small, measuring about 4.7 inches across and about 2.7 inches tall (up to the button which is the tallest point). The instructions claim that it has a 7 hour battery life, and can be charged up in approximately 2.5 hours. I've never had the battery fully drain on me so I cannot confirm those numbers, but I can say that the battery life has been more than long enough for my usage.<br /><br />So far I haven't had any issues with this device. If after some time I spot an issue, I'll be sure to update this review with my findings. Also, with Amazon prices fluctuating often, it may be useful to know that I purchased this at a price of $24.99 in June 2020.<br /><br />Pros<br />- Rechargeable Battery allows portable usage<br />- Uses USB Type-C which is great!<br />- 29 different sounds (though I typically only use about 5 of them)<br />- RGB nightlight w/ customizable color and lighting mode<br />- Built in memory allows it to remember settings after shutdown<br />- Good build quality and reputable brand<br /><br />Cons<br />- None yet, will update
