SNOOZSmart White Noise Sound Machine - Real Fan Inside for Non-Looping White Noise, Sleep Aid for Adults, Travel, Sleeping, Bedroom, Portable, Baby Registry Essential - Cloud

We bought this because the ratings were so GOOD & we just bought a 2nd one because the first one has been so good! It is the loudest and it has never quit working & we've had it for over 2 years. But, I always wanted to have two because I would hear neighbors and our dog outside or the alarm or my husband getting up, etc., so I bought another & together we have the most effective tool at giving us all uninterrupted sleep.The second one drowns out ALL the environmental sounds & all the other sounds in the bedroom. For example, the alarm clock next to my husband wakes him up but I don't even hear it and if I am in bed and he gets up, I do not hear him. Same for him, he does not hear me coming and going, so it is wonderful.You don't realize how much noises affect your sleep until the sounds that do affect you are eliminated. A couple of days ago someone across the street was hammering and we could not hear it, the next door neighbor who is about 22 feet from our window & the new snooz and despite the fact that they were doing something outside & that close, we did not hear it.--------BUT CHECK THIS OUT, MY HUSBAND POINTED OUT THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR OUR DOG BARKING OUTSIDE THE OPEN BEDROOM DOOR, YESTERDAY! DO You think You would hear your dog barking right outside the THE OPEN bedroom door ? That's how good having 2 works, with one on my side of the bed, just above my head, on it's own stand! I don't thnk any other white noise machine beats that!We used to use the fan, then we got the snooz and it was not loud enough to drown out all noises for me. I am the one with the most difficulty sleeping, so I would still use the fan but the fan is not ideal all year around so I bought another one it has us ALL sleeping uninterrupted and that means we are all getting Much More Sleep.It has been absolutely shocking to realize that when you thought you only needed a certain amount of sleep that suddenly you are getting MORE hours of sleep because of the effectiveness of this Snooz white noise machine! So, we are all delighted with a second one. Our dog no longer hears other dogs and wants to get up and go outside, so we are especially delighted that we have 2 and we realize that we are finally getting the best sleep of our lives because it completely drowns out inside and outside noises! I can't hear anyone snoring when I face in a different direction, so I frequently do not even know if everyone is in the bedroom or they have left, I have to ask, because our bedroom is very dark to help us sleep. YET, when we first go to bed we can easily talk to each other for a few minutes before we go to sleep so I also told someone that I believe these would be good to help drown out noises outside while allowing you to converse inside. We darkened our bedroom windows years ago with blackout curtains so we would sleep better.We recommend you get 2 so that if you want to, you can drown out all other noises! Having 2 has been a game changer & we now recognize that we are sleeping like we've never been able to sleep so well before! That is absolutely astounding! It is such a game changer that we have all been rather shocked by it so we recommend you have one facing the bed and one up next to one side of the bed but not necessarily on the side table and we think you will be shocked by how much better you all sleep! Someone just asked why NOT have the Snooz next to your head. I do Not mean that you should NOT have it next to your head when you sleep, I just meant that I placed mine on a basket behind the 20-inch fan that we USED to use with the Snooz machine to block noises & it is nearer my feet or knees. The reason it is there is because my side table is too small to hold the snooz & other things I want to reach for during the night, like a drink, but now I realize that I am not drinking much during the night, likely because we are not using the fan & also because I am sleeping without waking. Think of that, we used a fan for years, then added the snooz, & still I sometimes used the fan, and NOW, without the fan, I don't need to drink water during the night & I am sleeping without waking! How about that! It is an AWESOME Game Changer! I used to think & told everyone I only needed to sleep 5 hours a night ! Everything has changed since we got TWO, so you really should get this, it has been a total game changer for me and for us! Sometimes I am tired & need a nap & I leave the bedroom door open and the TV & lights elsewhere can be on & because of the snooz, i can sleep soundly while life & TV goes on without me! I recommend you get TWO! Highest recommendation possible for this incredible white noise machine!!I want to update my experience. I have a type of asthma, not actually asthma, but from long standing sinusitis and since we have quit using the 20-inch fan for noise during sleep, and because we now have 2 of these snooz machines, I noticed I do NOT have to use my inhalers as much during a 24-hour day. I think the 20 inch fan made me need my asthma inhalers more, just like I needed to drink more during sleep! I am still awake between 17 and 21 hours a day, but now I sleep at least an average of 7 hours of sleep after I am able to go to bed and go to sleep. I remember once we had some sort of viral respiratory infection and we could not stand having the fan circulate the air because it was making our throats really hurt, so that made me realize that the fan was actually causing air to go into our mouths, but I never had any idea that it could be affecting my breathing and causing me to need my inhalers more. So, the use of 2 of these fabulous SNOOZ machines has actually changed our lives for the better in ways I had not anticipated!I have another update: We removed the fan and we put the snooz Just up slightly above my head, almost next to my head, on it's own stand and it is perfect at blocking out sounds and allowing me to sleep, so having it almost right next to your head with the sound on HIGH, works Very WELL!I hope you experience superior sleep when you get the snooz and that will change your lives for the better, too! i think you will realize that using these gives you the sleep scientists say we must have for our very best health!

Note that I have not downloaded the app or tested those features for this review.I have zero complaints about this machine, its simple and easy and creates a white noise environment that is helpful for me. I actually bought this in the hopes that it would help my tinnitus - it does not particularly help with that, but it has created a comfortable white noise level that I enjoy and appreciate.I love that this is mechanical - again with Tinnitus, other tone machines use repetitive frequencies my ears can pick out and create agitation for me, and thats why I sought this out. Being mechanical, you don't have to worry about sub-par, electronically generated noise and bad speaker quality (looking at you, Homedics). Buttons on the machine are touch based and more sensitive than i initially realized; they are responsive, work well and are minimal.Like I said I haven't tested the app, but I can't say that I feel like I'm missing out on them. You don't really need a scheduler - you turn it on and off when you go to bed. You could say there is a convenience to changing tone and volume from your phone; sure, maybe. I find it way simpler to find the tone and volume you like and just leave it at that.Does what it says it does, there really isn't much else to say - either you like white noise or you don't, this is an effective machine that lets you choose tone and volume for what is comfortable. It's on the pricier side but if you value white noise for whatever your reasons, this is absolutely worth the investment.

I am one of those people who absolutely cannot sleep without some sort of a fan on. I hate noise machines because you can hear when they repeat and that actually keeps me awake. I read the reviews about this device and decided to give it a try. I fell in love with it from the get-go. I love the different volumes that you can choose from and love that it sounds like a real fan and does not repeat. I am so happy that I found this product and highly recommended it to anyone who needs a sound machine.

This is my 2nd white noise fan and considering the last one (half the price) worked well but didn’t even last a full year, so I decided to spend more hoping it can last longer. To my surprise, the white noise sound is much better. The fan has the ability to adjust the tone and volume separately makes this well with the purchase!

Where have you been my entire life?!! If you struggle with hearing every little noise while falling asleep you will love this machine. I’ve been using a large box fan that took up wall space and although it worked for years I didn’t always enjoy the constant airflow that would sometimes leave me congested. With this easy to use sleek design it’s not only functional, and practical, it is louder than my box fan!! With multiple settings you’re sure to not be disappointed! I’m ordering another in a travel size! Won’t travel from home without it!

We bought the SNOOZ sound machine on a whim, and let me tell you, it was the best decision we’ve made since we decided to stop eating sugar. This thing is a game changer.You turn it on, and suddenly, the outside world fades away. It’s like being wrapped in a cozy sound cocoon. Traffic sounds? Gone. Neighbor’s dog barking at 3 a.m.? Can’t hear a thing. The sound is so soothing, even my overactive brain can’t fight it.Setup was easy—like, so easy even our dog could probably figure it out if he wasn’t too busy plotting what he’s going to chew on next.If you’re someone who lives in a world of noisy neighbors, traffic, or sleep disturbances caused by your own existential crisis, this is for you. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to turn their bedroom into a peaceful sanctuary, or at least drown out the sound of their life choices.
