" ... We love the brown noise setting. ... I highly recommend this if you don't have a ton of money to spend on a sound machine and need one. ... "
" ... My favorite sound is brown noise. ... "
" ... Has several sounds that work perfect for sleeping or calming. ... "
" ... I like the brown noise best as it is very soothing and effective . ... "
" ... Sounds are good, but it is sometimes tricky to get it to start. ... "
" ... Listen to it nearly every night. ... "
" ... I have a good choice of constant "white" noise options (the colors are a bit silly, but I guess they had to be called something) which I prefer over the variable noises like waves and wind. ... "
" ... It is very simple to operate and has a lot of variety of sounds. ... I have had no complaints with this sound machine and we have had it for around a year now. ... "

" ... Loved the product, but ordered May 8, used for 2 months and it’s broken. ... "
" ... but only worked for 8 months. ... Worked on batteries for about a week after then did the same thing. ... "
" ... It suddenly stopped working for no reason not even 3 months after purchase. ... "
" ... Died after a month ... "
" ... Stopped working after only 6 months of use. ... "
" ... It stopped working after about two or three months of use. ... "
" ... Then stopped working - either could not switch on at all (tried with both cable and batteries) or the sound cuts in and out. ... Would work again sporadically sometimes. ... "
" ... I was very pleased with this product until it stopped working after less than 6 months. ... "

" ... So now I can only use it with a very down volume :/ ... "
" ... The volume dial also powers it on so you can't leave it on a preferred volume. ... "
" ... They only complaint I have about this is that the volume control is really sensitive and it is hard to find a low volume that is still audible without it going too loud so it takes a few minutes of fiddling with it to get it right. ... "
" ... Sounds like something is wrong with the speaker. ... "
" ... The sound just fades away sometimes to complete silence and sometimes it gets crackly. ... "
" ... When turning it, it hesitates in controlling the volume and then all of a sudden blasts you out. ... "
" ... Sound is either too loud or can't hear at all!! ... "
" ... Lots of VERY LOUD static when turning it on or off, or adjusting the volume. ... "

" ... They only complaint I have about this is that the volume control is really sensitive and it is hard to find a low volume that is still audible without it going too loud so it takes a few minutes of fiddling with it to get it right. ... "
" ... I would give this product a higher rating if it weren’t for the volume control. ... "
" ... It takes a while to turn on, I have to turn the knob on and off again a few times, then it finally comes on. ... "
" ... After messing around with the buttons (it was plugged in) it finally made a thumping sound. ... None of the buttons worked to make a change. ... "
" ... If you jiggle the volume knob JUST right it MIGHT work. ... "
" ... Volume button too sensitive. ... "
" ... Volume knob has virtually no adjustment- it's either off or it's super loud ... "
" ... The volume knob on this not the best. ... "

" ... the first two broke within 6 months to a year, but there were other circumstances that could explain the product breaking (once we packed it in a checked bag, so just assumed the airline mishandled our suitcase and it got banged up in there) and the Price is right so we were fine replacing it, but this time, it has literally just been sitting untouched in the nursery and stops working. ...
