Great product (2008-12-12)
I really like this product. I needed a machine that would make enough background noise so I can fall asleep. I researched many different products and chose this one. I've been very happy.
It makes 10 different "noises", I like the rainfall and river the best. Some people have said that the blue background light on the clock face is too intense, but it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, just cover it if it's a problem. The price was very reasonable and it seems well made.
I give it my highest recommendation.

Heed Other Reviews (2008-12-10)
I was very excited to get this little machine because I wanted one that was a sound machine and alarm clock combination so that there wasn't a lot of clutter on my nightstand. Unfortunately I found that other customer reviews were right on target in regards to the time display. It is quite bright, so if that bothers you then you will have to wear a sleep mask. Also you cannot read the time from more than 5 feet away. It also must be exactly at eye level in order to read the time. If your nightstand is slightly higher than the level of your bed as mine is, you will have issues. The sounds are excellent though and the radio works well. It was not difficult to set the alarm and there are three options (buzzer, radio or sounds) After using it for the first time last night and listening to sounds of ocean waves I was able to fall asleep quickly. However, I will be returning it and looking at the Homedics versions of this machine.

looping sounds drive me crazy (2008-12-02)
This product is a combination alarm clock/radio/noise machine. The clock and radio work fine, but the noises (white noise and many nature sounds) are digital samples of a few seconds in length that are repeated over and over again. So the white noise sounds like a repeating 6-10s loop, and I can't recommend this product for that purpose. I have to turn down our baby monitor because the repeating noise drives me crazy!

Sleeping like a baby..... (2008-10-19)
I bought this item for myself to help drown out outside noise while I sleep. It works great, has lots of different sounds to choose from. I originally purchased this thinking I would be using the "white noise" selection to aid in sleep, but I actually have it set on rainfall most often.

Overall it is a wonderful product, I don't find the display too bright or hard to read at all. It is a bit larger than I had hoped but aside from that it is a great buy!

Good Price, Good Sound Machine (2008-10-01)
We had this machine for about a year and a half. The noise options are all nice and relaxing with no obvious "loop" sound. (You know where you can hear the recording start over? It can be VERY irritating.) This was bought solely for use as a noise machine so I never used the alarm clock on it. In fact, I don't think I ever even set the time on it. The machine finally broke today. It just went out for no apparant reason and won't make any noise and kind of smells like something in it burnt up. But for only $20 and pretty much continual use (seriously, I mean almost 24 hrs a day!) for 18 months I'd say it was well worth the money.
