I plugged in brand new unit and it did nothing…nada. I had to pay shipping back to “online components” to get a refund. So I am out 7 bucks and have nothing.

I purchased this to block out my husband’s snoring and get a better night’s sleep. The product did not help at all. It just added more noise to the room on top of the snoring. I might still take it on vacation with me.

This machine may work for some people, but it kept me awake all night. I purchased it to mask the sounds of my snoring spouse, but all it did was add to the noise level in the room. I placed it in several different locations in my bedroom but it didn’t help. I finally decided to place it in the shipping box and return it. So much for the “natural” method – I guess my next step will be sleep-aid drugs.

I just bought this machine to drown out the sound of my neighbor’s loud thumps/doors closing at 3:30 a.m. Unfortunately, I am hearing impaired and can barely hear this machine. I do not recommend this machine if you are hearing impaired. It is not loud enough.

The product description does not make it clear, but this device is not a digital sound generator. It’s just a fan in a box with two power settings (high and very high) and some bevels that you can adjust. The two settings are very similar, and for many people this will mean that the lowest setting will not be quiet enough, or the highest setting will not be loud enough. This is a lot of money to pay for a fan in a box, and I wish I could get my money back. I recommend the Sharper Image sound generator, instead. It has a volume knob as well as options for selecting different types of background noise.
