I've been using these for 20 years. Just recently bought my 3rd one. So about 8-9 year lifespan. Definitely 5 stars on older models. This latest one I got has a tinny quality to the sound. So 4 stars. But it's still a must-have for me. I can't sleep without it. It goes in the suitcase when I have to travel. Love the low design & wide base. It can't tip over. Has 1 small green light to indicate power. But nothing shining in your eyes or blinking.

This sound machine offers multiple options for sounds. It’s easy to take with you for travel, this little machine was well thought out, I sleep with it on every night. It’s very soothing for sleeping and is very effective. The durability is ok as long as you don’t plan to drop or step on it. Be careful though because enough force can probably damage it.

I've had two of these over the years and love them. Small footprint and looks good on my nightstand. Plenty of different sounds to choose from. Volume level is easy to adjust. Has helped me sleep better throughout the years at a great price point. Would definitely recommend
