A fine little machine
 
Review Date: May 12, 2007

A fine little machine. Does what it says it should do and does it well. There are a variety of quality sounds all relaxing. The heartbeat sound is a bit creepy, but for some that may be ok. The sounds of the ocean are our favorite, though you do hear seagulls in the background. The sound quality is excellent and fills a room nicely. The addition of the timer or unlimited play is helpful. A good little machine.

Pros:
- Quality sound, both in volume and content
- Timer feature or unlimited play
- Small form factor
- Inexpensive

Cons:
- Sounds are repetitive (though not distractingly so)
- The heartbeat is a bit creepy, perhaps for some
A boon for insomniacs!

I have difficulty falling asleep. This sound machine forces me to concentrate on the shushing and monotonous noise of the waterfall instead of my thoughts and, inevitably, I fall asleep! Lately, my sound machine has proven to be a life saver, literally. I sleep with my windows open. Alas, a mockingbird has adopted one of our trees and he/it sleeps only until 1:30 AM, after which he begins his interminably varied nocturnal chants! The bird, I am told, marks his territory by imitating the chant of other birds. Even though his memory is quite remarkable, when I hear him in the wee hours of the morning, I have thoughts only for a BB gun. My daughter suggested I purchase a HoMedics sound machine instead of disposing of the bird. Done! I set my sound machine volume just high enough to drown out the birdie's unwelcome ditties and sleep soundly till morning. :-) P.S. It also prevents my grand children from waking up too early when they visit!
Works very well

Very calming, and very good for somehow masking distracting noises, to let you sleep. I mostly use the waterfall (sounds like white noise) or rain settings. I leave it turned on all night, using mains instead of batteries. I also sleep with earplugs in, to block out noisy neighbours. The combination of the earplugs and the Sound Spa works much better than the earplugs alone. I can turn the Sound Spa up loud enough that I can easily hear it through the earplugs. It works so well that I have to not use it when I need to get up at 5:00 the next morning, or else I will sleep through my watch alarm, and my vibrating pillow alarm ! I bought the vibrating alarm to help me wake up, after I started wearing earplugs to sleep. Yes, its an arms race between the sleep aids and the wake-up aids !

If you listen, you can still hear the noisy neighbours etc, through the Sound Spa, but it seems to trick your brain into not paying attention to the noisy neighbours. Rather than drowning them out by brute strength, if you see what I mean. Sometimes when I wake up, I think, thats funny, I can't hear the Sound Spa ! Then as my brain wakes up a little more, the Sound Spa fades back in to my perception. So some part of my brain that worries about noises seems to have been shut down for the night. Fantastic ! Or maybe thats normal when you sleep.

I had been going to buy one of the cheaper competitors, but judging by their poor reviews, I'm glad I spent a bit more and bought this one instead. Anyway, it was only a tiny bit more expensive, or maybe the same price, I can't remember.

This is my severalth soundmachine I have purchased over that last 10 years from HoMedics. This is the basic model, adjustable volume, no clock etc. But you can turn it up pretty loud to drown out other noises & have a good nights sleep. Good for sleeping babies too. I have never used the timer feature, we keep ours on all night. I also like the fact that its a basic model so it travels well if you travel & cannot sleep w/out it. If you really listen you can hear the loop of the sound but it doesnt bother me, I mean I dont listen in anticiaption for it. It is better than the white noise from a fan because you can turn up the volume & travels w/ you, and wont dry your eyes out like a fan & not too breezy in the winter. I paid extra shipping last time to get mine here quicker because I found it very hard to sleep w/ out it when my last one finally quit.

You simply cannot beat this device for value. Sure, you can pay a great deal more for one of these things, but you will benefit on slightly for you extra money - diminishing returns.

A much better and healthy approach toward rest than a trip to the pharmacy. Instructions are complete and understandable. I use the rain setting, but the ocean is wonderful as well. There is an new added heart-beat feature for an infant's room.

Save the money - buy this model.
