Customer Rating: Summary: Very effective Comment: I got this machine for my husband, generally nothing ever gets in the way of my ability to fall asleep at night. He was somewhat reluctant to become reliant on an apparatus to help him fall asleep, but he uses it every night and likes it. I like that it is small, with a simple switch.
He travels a good deal and this will be a great item to take when he is sleeping in hotel rooms. A little bit of home in his suitcase. We like it. Customer Rating: Summary: Really helps Comment: This really helps the outside noise. I sleep much better. My bedroom is upstairs and all the noise from the neighbors is like a megaphone to our room. Its as if they were right in our bedroom. This sound screen blocks out all of that. Even the dogs barking. I want to get a second one for my son's room who never sleeps to see if it helps him too. Customer Rating: Summary: Best $50 we've ever spent... Comment: After a few weeks of problems with noisy neighbors, this little guy is a life-saver. We now sleep through the night. The sound is a gentle whirring sound, like a fan without all the circulation of the air. Two loudness levels and the ability to adjust the frequency of the sound make it almost perfect. The only problem is that we've gotten so used to the noise that we have to take it with us where ever we go if we're staying over night. Good news is that it is small and packs easily. Genius idea. 100% recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Can't live with out it. Comment: We have an older sleepmate that we have been using for years. It started to make some noise like the fan was speeding up and then slowing down so I figured it was time to get a new one. The dual speed is great for that time when you want it a little more quiet or if you need more sound to block out the background noise you have the option for the second speed.
My Old sleepmate
I took my older sleepmate apart. Cleaned it up. Put a drop of oil on the spindle of the motor and she is just like brand new. Our daughter now uses it and recently slept over at a friends house and wished she had brought it with her! She is sleepmate lover too. Customer Rating: Summary: What Roommate? Comment: This little device works great! It's not really that loud, but when my boyfriend and I fall asleep with it on, we sleep soundly all night and never hear our roommate anymore. He has a different schedule than us and our room is at the top of the steps and with our wood floors he was always waking us up after midnight (sometimes with guests). I can't tell you how much I love this thing! I highly recommend this to anyone with a roommate!
