Love It
smmtex.8 years agoI go to sleep every night with the sound of ocean waves, gentle rain, gentle thunder or a babbling brook. The previous version of the Homedics Sound Machine lasted about 10 years and I had to get a new one. How many things last 10 years these days? I was pleased to see a couple of added sounds and a timer with optional periods of time to select. This little machine eases me into restful sleep but I am sure you could use it for other things as well. Also a great bargain!

Water Torture
GBMROD.8 years agoThe sound loop on this thing is about 5 seconds, even for the "white noise." It actually keeps me awake, anticipating the sound loop. I have to pile socks on top of the speaker to muffle the little sounds that repeat every 5 seconds. I know there are apps that I can put on my phone and/or tablets (we have them for when we travel) that are better, but I don't leave those devices in our room at night. You may not hear it or may be able to ignore it - I just wanted everyone to be aware.

Small and efficient
Nice compact unit lightweight with appropriate sound changes. Small drawback is time setting indicator light remains on after unit shuts off overall would buy it again.
A well made machine.
The sound machine is well made, and works great. Most of all it is loud enough to be effective.
Great Unit
I enjoy the subtle background sounds when I'm going to sleep! It's nice to have a little sound when relaxing or even in my office when working.
Insomnia
I have really bad insomnia. Just thought I'd try this. I usually need complete silence and darkness to finally get a little sleep. I use the rain setting. Keep it kind of low. And I have gotten the best sleep. It's small. So it will be very easy to put in my suitcase when I'm traveling. Which is quite often. I am pleased.
I guarantee you won’t regret buying this!
This sleepmate is the best! The sound is perfect to help you sleep! I love that it has a battery backup in case the power goes out!
Garbage.
This item broke within a month of having.. hadn’t been a full 60-days and there is no replacement option.. I ordered on 10/30 and it was delivered on 11/3.. quit working within 2 weeks I guess due to wiring issues. Don’t waste your money or try to deal with customer service!!!!!
Sounds are nice, knob hard to turn
Good features, sounds and volume levels. Unfortunate that the knob is difficult to turn. The back half of the knob is "inside" the casing which means you can't grab the entire knob which makes it hard to turn with one hand without scooting the whole sound machine around on the dresser. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit frustrating.
What a bedtime changer
I usually do not like any sounds in my bedroom at night, but I love this machine, very calming and soft.
Sleep
It is awesome! I use it for the white noise but it also has other options. Love it! Can’t sleep without it!!!!
Love it
It’s what I’ve always wanted but couldn’t find until now. I thought I would fall asleep with the ocean which I have but I also love the other sounds too. The last several nights I’ve fallen asleep with the sounds of a brook. I wish I had gotten more than one.
Love it.
Something I’ve always wanted but couldn’t find the right one. Now I have. Love it.
Rest well
This machine helps us sleep well. It isolates the sounds. We are over 60's. Highly recommended. It is to just for babies.
Nice, but...
Love this idea. Listen to it all night the day I purchased it. The only thing that is unsatisfying to me is that the sounds seem about 5 seconds in duration then it's looped over and over again. That's the only thing I don't like about it. You'll hear the exact same thunder sound over and over in 5 second intervals.

Love this little white noise machine....drowns out the city noises at my home on a very busy street as well as allowing me to sleep thru the coyote's song at my son's!!!
Everything went well. No problem at all
item works great. Tried it last night, no problems at all.. Order was taken 1 day,, and I picked it up the very next day. Easy all around. Thanks What more can I say. Short and sweet.
LOVE THIS
The sound, the size, the options are perfect for us. Small enough to travel easily with us to take everywhere. Sound options and loudness suit us perfectly.
Not like the older model
Dose not turn completely off like the older model we have been using
20 years
I have been using this on and off for about 20 years. I sleep with an air fillter on. When the power goes out this is my back up. I normally use white noise but have switched to rain this year. I did notice the sound loop but dont mind. I normally fall asleep so much faster with it on. I use it with my airfilter because I can control the volumn and use it onthe nights the pick up garbage or recycle can. It totally blockes the noise. However after all these years it started making this loud buzzing noise once in a while that make me jump for my sleep so I need a new one. After 20 years I say its a good product.
This sleep machine is good!!
I suffer with Ménière’s disease & have loud noise in left ear. I love the ocean sound. Whenever the power goes out, I am one happy camper because this particular sound machine has battery back up! 5 stars!
