 Love it. August 4, 2008

This is the second sound conditioner that I have owned. It cost more than the first one, however, it is worth every extra cent. It has a much richer and more soothing sound than sound machines that use a digital recording. I live in an apartment that is in a noisy business district with a 16 yr. old that stays up all night, yet, I sleep like a childless person who lives in the country. I love this white noise machine!

Do you have a family member who is a light sleeper? If so, this sound machine will be a godsend for you. We purchsed it because my two year-old kept waking every time my husband or I would get up in the night to use the bathroom or get a drink of water.
Ever since we plugged this machine in, he sleeps through all of our noise. This is great for people who have smaller homes with hardwood floors, where the sound of footsteps can be disturbing to sleepers.
Very pleased! August 4, 2008

My wife purchased one of these white noise generators for a vacation we were going on over a year ago. It is small and very lightweight with an eight foot long cord, which is nice and long. Its small size means that it fits easily into any luggage and takes up very little room on a night stand. The noise it makes is pleasantly "white," which means that it doesn't disturb you while reading in bed and yet it provides enough cover for the little noises that can sound so loud at night. The volume produced can be modulated by turning the top, making it louder or softer.
Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase of this item. We have experienced nothing but trouble free service from it, and we have even purchased a second one for the baby's room. We love this item and give it our highest recommendations!
AHH...peace, at last! March 15, 2009

I think there is a contest in my neighborhood, that I'm unaware of. I suspect it's designed to find out which homes can produce the most noise. My neighbors are definitely in on it. They're probably in the top five! I surmise that when their dog isn't barking (constantly) on its own, they're standing in the yard yelling 'speak' and throwing meaty tidbits her way, while one child is toting a boom-box and the other is bouncing a basketball off the side of their house, for eight hours straight, often right onto my porch. I think the neighbor behind me is in the top five, too. He's taken up drums.
Okay, okay...maybe it is just me and this is the normal hum of 'daylight living,' for which I've become so removed. I do a lot of 12 hour night shift work, and I can't expect the world to come to a screeching halt, because I'd like a little sleep, so something had to give.
My new Marpac 980 recently arrived and I couldn't be more satisfied. It is small (and portable), but solidly built, with cushioning on the bottom to prevent vibration, or furniture scaring. The instructions are clear regarding how to adjust the volume quality, with the top rim and collar. It also has a low and high setting switch. I set mine on the highest level...remember, my neighbors are in the top five.
For such a small machine, the sound really fills the room and there aren't any quirky artifacts, or rattles. The sound is consistent and pure. I quickly adjusted to this new, distraction from the madness, and found it quite comforting.
On the very first trial, a water main had broken close to my home. There were Public Service workers with their, Bobcat, digging to China for several hours, and I could barely hear them. Ah, the sounds of success.
If your neighborhood enters the contest, you might just want to consider one of these machines, too. Sleep deprivation is bad for both mental and physical health. Just ask me :-).

I experimented with placement of this unit. Too close to the bed and there was a vibration from the fan that I could hear. On the nightstand, the unit vibrated and resonated through the wood. I found that my unit sounds best when it is placed (a) on a pillow across the room from my bed, about 8 feet from the end of the bed or (b) on a wire shelf about 6 feet off the floor and about 5 feet from the bed. In either of these locations, the sound fills my sleeping space with a pleasant white noise that I tune out. I rarely hear my husband's snoring now, and I never hear anything from outside.
