Use this product for my grandson. It calms him and helps him to sleep at least 7 hours through the night. Decided to get this because the exhaust fan over the kitchen stove calmed him during the day.

Love this sound machine. I am a light sleeper and it works great for me. I told my sister about it and ordered one for her who used a fan just for the noise. She loves it and just had a baby and uses it to get some sleep.

This is great for lulling a newborn to sleep and drowning out background noises so they can stay asleep. We have been using ours for 2 years and my son still loves listening to the lullaby as he falls alseep (he is now 2). He has also knocked it on the floor many times and it has never been broken or even cracked. Love this. I am getting a second one for our new baby.

Use the product, especially the lullabye, for myself. Use the "heartbeat" for my beloved cat when I am away. Love the timer function!

Love it!

This was a great purchase after the birth of our daughter. However, after about 6 months there was a lot of vibration inside the machine and we have been unsuccessful in quieting it. The other issue we have is that during a power outage, I put new batteries in so that our daughter could take a nap and the machine did not work! I knew it was not the batteries as they were new. I cannot return the product, because we no longer have the receipt.

Our newborn never napped well and woke up at the slightest noise. We bought this machine and he was able to nap for 3-4 hours straight! He also slept through the night better, and I am able to run the washing machine or make noise and he doesn't budge. Now that he is almost 2 we are still using it. We plan to give this as a shower gift from now on.

This product has wonderful soothing music and white noise that creates a calm, serene environment for my baby at nap or bed time or feeding. The white noise sound is especially good at drowning out dog barking, loud cars, etc. The timer is a nice feature - although I tend to leave it on continuous play mode out of habit. Overall, very easy to use and has crisp, clear sound.

My son couldn't sleep without it for the first several months as a newborn. It truly was a first-time parent's little helper. This is a great baby shower gift!

This is a great white noise generator, but the power cord (when attached) can act as a radio antenna. When we use this unit in the second floor of our house, we can hear radio commercials coming in on top of the white noise. Pretty crazy. I like the unit so much, though, that I'm going to try to find some EMF shielding that I can use on the power cord before I decide to return the unit.

Our kids sleep great with this on in the background. We take it with us on all trips and it makes them feel at home. Has made travelling a breeze! The kids sleep straight through the night for 12 hours. We used it since the kids were born and it's worked with both of our children!Had to return two of them because they stopped working but [...] replaced them no questions asked.

Best white noise machine out there...our baby has slept through the night since he was 4 months old and I think this noise machine is a big reason why.

We got our first Brookstone sound machine as a hand me down for our first child. The machine is at least 7 years old and it still works perfectly! Now we have a new baby and because our daughter still loves to sleep with her machine we are going to buy a new one. It is a great product, crystal clear sound, blocks out other noises and soothes our children. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

My wife and I are proud "new" parents of a 6 week old. Needless to say we've been given countless advice on do's and dont's for our Colicky baby boy. Even though he's on a much better path now he never seemed to sleep soundly for more than an hour or so at a time until someone had recommended this device. The device has been a life-saver for us and he's now sleeping on average 3-4 hours at a time. I would recommend this product 10 times over to anyone who's looking for peace of mind and better yet a happier baby.

This was a wonderful product for my colicky daughter. One evening, my husband knocked it off the dresser and it broke, and I made him go out and get us another one - we needed it that badly. ;-) We still use it to lull my 2-year-old to sleep on rough nights, and she loves it. I can assure you that it will be used again for future children.

We have had this machine for a couple years, and absolutely LOVE it. We do not go anywhere without it, including camping. My husband and I have a previous model, we listen to it daily and is still just like new. When I found out we were having a baby, this went on my list of must haves for the nursery. GREAT, GREAT!!

I purchased this two years ago for my, then, 4 year old. She listens to the lullabye every night and it helps her sleep better and longer. I'm confused about [...] listing it as "without recognizable repetition". It's clearly the same few bars repeated over and over and over again. My daughter does not mind. I'm even purchasing a second one for my newborn twins. They sleep deeper and longer with this product as well.

I wish I had found this sooner! We didn't get this machine until my son was 14 months old. He has been napping wonderfully since we got it and our "tiptoeing" around the house after bedtime is gone. It is great know he is getting good sleep now and we don't have to whisper.

As a Mom of 10 years I started using noise machines when my first son was born. As a colicky baby he needed constant soothing. After buying cheap versions of the Brookstone model I finally gave in and bought the best. The noise isn't filled with static like other brands. I've been using this product for over 9 years and we travel with it everytime. What a life saver! If you're a tired Mom and need some sleep this is your machine!

This is a great tool to help your baby sleep well into toddlerhood. Excellent to soothe newborns who crave white noise, and transitions to a sleep cue for slightly older children, aiding in sleep while traveling too.

A lifesaver for my baby! We still use it today and he is 13 months old. A great invention! Its use is supported by The Happiest Baby on the Block book. Highly recommended!
