" ... We received a light with defective sounds and the company immediately replaced the item. ... "
" ... The white noise machine and night light in one saves on space and has been a lifesaver. ... "
" ... I don’t think the sound quality is fantastic but it sure helps our little one. ... "

" ... We purchased the Mybaby sound/projector 2+ years ago for $19 and it still works great ... "

" ... It helps my baby girl sleep well at night. ... "
" ... The fact that it's easy enough for my four-year-old to figure out, helps him to go to sleep in his own room, and help KEEP him asleep is a dream come true. ... I also turn up the volume on the sound once he's asleep to help keep him asleep. ... "

" ... You can also save favorites and create programs. ... "
" ... I love how customizable and personalized you can program this, and you can do it all from the app on your phone. ... Which is fine I guess, but since this device is controlled through an app, it would be pretty easy for the developers to keep adding more sounds to the app. ... "

" ... This is the best all in one night time soother. ... "
" ... $60 felt like a lot of money to spend on a night light. ... "

" ... You can set multiple timers, we have one for bed time routine, then we have one for just a night light and the one in the morning. ... "
" ... You can set different timers for wake up and sleep time and nap. ... "
" ... We went with the more inexpensive "ok to wake" clock when our son was 1 1/2 it lasted almost a year before dying. ... "
" ... We tried ok to wake clocks but they all set alarms at the desired time. ... "
" ... I look forward to using this as a "wake" alarm later on when my child is older - it will be really convenient to be able to switch the light to "green" (to indicate it is ok to get out of bed) without having to go into her room (either through Bluetooth or by programming - love the options). ...

" ... Sighing 3 months the power cord failed. ... Couldn’t tap the machine because the cord would move and shut down the machine. ... "
" ... Charging cord didn’t fit. ... "
" ... I’ve tried other cables to see if they would give it power, and nothing connected to let it turn on. ... "
" ... Maybe I have a defective one but the slightest movement of the device or cord, the cord falls out and the entire unit turns off. ... Sometimes even if I touch the top to change the color the cord just falls out. ... "
" ... Now the cord won't stay connected to the light- required for it to work. ... "
" ... BUT AFTER using it for about a month it began to start acting up and not turning on unless you wiggled the power cord and that's when I noticed a light black dusty residue near the power plug portal. ... "

" ... All the sounds are very calming and perfect for anyone to fall asleep to. ... "
" ... Hands down, all toddlers need this! ... "
" ... I was able to fall back asleep and so was she. ... "
" ... No stars off because we could get it to a comfortable level, but the levels themselves are crazy. ... "
" ... I’d love to be able to just tell Siri to turn it on or off when my hands are full. ... "
" ... Up to you if you find that bothersome or not, but if you are reasonably comfortable with it, I think you will find the Hatch quite helpful from infancy through pre-school. ... "

" ... We've tried other versions of "light up" ok to wake and these are my favorite, but I really wish there was a battery option. ... "
" ... They reached out to us and offered to replace the unit free of charge. ... "
" ... I also feel like an option for battery power would be an enormous asset--I wouldn't have to worry about resuming play after a power outage if I could just have battery "backup" installed, and it would make it enormously easier to take along to overnights at grandparents' houses, etc. ... "

" ... The multi program option is excellent and my son is not able to alter settings! ... "
