Beautiful but could have better functions
Having used other sound machines for others kids, we found this one could do with improvements. It’s impossible to know which buttons you’re pressing in the dark / in a darkened room and the strap needs two hands to use rather than one with the button and hole (we have some with a simple hook). We also would have loved a gentle lullaby tune on it as our others have this. The light function is good and for a small light, it’s very powerful. Probably wouldn’t recommend this to friends.

Obsessed
I have 2 kids under 2 and I have 2 of these. I love them so much. It's always in a pram, attached to a carrier or in the bedroom. I also love it for my sleep too. I've tried a few white noise machines and this is the nicest sounding one. A nice low soft calming noise works for my kids every time to send them off to sleep. Only thing is I wish the battery charge was longer.

White noise machine is fantastic
We used the white noise machine while on a recent vacation. We slept so much better with the machine drowning out the constant on/off cycling of the mini fridge and wall HVAC unit. Love the night light feature as well.

Sleep tool dream!
Something I didn't own with my first, but purchased for my now 3 month old and its do good I recently purchased a 2nd. One lives attached to our bedside bassinet for white noise over night and night light for feeds, and the second lives in the pram/car for out and about white noise. It's so lightweight, the light is a lovely warm tone in 3 brightness levels and the white noise is the perfect sound for my bub to sleep well and self settle! Favourite purchase as a mum of 2 under 2!
Purchased both times with discount.

White noise machine
I bought this as I read such good reviews but unfortunately this doesn’t help my 8 month old baby at all. None of the noises help her sleep and she wakes up more often during the night with it on so don’t use it at all now. Waste of money

Country approved for power cuts and wifi dropouts
Charge lasts all night. No wifi needed. Perfect volume (goes loud enough for my little boy). Portable when I travel to see my folks. Exactly what I wanted it to do - work without WiFi, without being constantly connected to a power source, loud enough and portable.

Love it!
I love that it plays continuously and doesn’t stop. I started using it for my baby and now I can’t sleep without it. It’s light and portable and has helped my baby sleep so much better!
