Excellent, Sanity-Saving Product
I just received my second Marpac Dohm Sound Screen. My first is 20 years-old, and it's still working perfectly! Some reviewers have said that the Dohm is too loud, others have said it is too soft. Others have said it smells. To address these complaints: the Dohm comes with directions on how to adjust the frequency and volume of the whooshing air sound. The cap twists, as does the cuff around the Dohm, going from loud and bright, to soft and dull, and everything in between. As for the smell, it is simply a new product smell which goes away in a couple of days. New cars, new dolls at Christmas time, and new DVD cases have stronger odors that last longer. I turned my new Dohm on right out of the box, and let it run for two hours. It has already lost most of the &#34;new plastic&#34; smell. I use mine primarily to drown out the barking of my neighbor's 3 dogs that are tethered in their yard 24/7, and it works. The old one is in my bedroom, allowing a good night sleep, and the new one is in my home office. Thank you, Marpac!
