There are 11 options to choose from (including fan effects, white noise, and rain) and in our tests we found it impossible to tell when each one looped around to the start again.
Unlike LectroFan's full-size white noise machines (like the LectroFan Classic below), this little device doesn't contain a mechanical fan, instead relying on recorded sounds to ease you off to sleep at night. We’d suggest investing in the Dohm for home or office use and the Hushh for traveling near and far.The LectroFan Micro2 is tiny, measuring just 52 x 52 x 53mm and weighing a mere 96g, but it's capable of putting out impressively detailed sound. Overall, both of these sound machines serve their purposes. We also don’t love that we can’t adjust the tone of the Hushh, as we can by twisting the Dohm.Įven still, the Dohm is hard to transport, so we think the tradeoff between the high-caliber sound of the Dohm and the portability of the Hushh is a fair one. But when compared to the Marpac Dohm Classic, there are some important differences: The Dohm delivers a real fan noise that fills up a room, while the Hushh makes more synthetic sounds. The Marpac Hushh seems to do the job just fine, and it’s particularly handy to pack for trips.
Marpac Dohm Classic Natural Sound Machine Not happy after 101 sleeps? You can return it with no questions asked. Plus, since the product is made by Marpac, you also get a customer service quality promise and a one-year limited factory warning. Being able to lock it allowed us to say “all done!” and set it for the evening.Īt about $30, this sound machine option is absolutely an affordable one compared to others on the market-especially considering its versatile, travel-friendly size and charging abilities. We found this very helpful the first few nights when our 1.5-year-old kept wanting to press the buttons. There’s a nightlight feature for kids who might be scared of the dark, as well as a child lock option, which prevents little ones from adjusting the setting and volume themselves. Features: Nightlight and great customer service The white noise is synthetic, which means that once and a while you’ll hear skipping or more of a static noise in the background. Our 1.5-year-old slept soundly both ways. The deep white noise most closely replicated the sound our kids were used to hearing with our Marpac Dohm, so that became our default, but our 7-year-old did request the gentle surf from time to time and had fun pairing it with bedtime stories. There are three soothing sounds to choose from-bright white noise, deep white noise, or gentle surf-and all three of them adequately filled the rooms in both our apartment and in a large room at their grandma’s when we turned it up to the highest setting. But after a little excitement about this cool contraption entering the room and letting them play with the bright green buttons, they settled down.Īs we quickly learned, the Hushh’s compact size doesn’t mean that it skimps on sound. Our 1.5-year-old and 7-year-old are accustomed to sleeping with the Marpac Dohm Classic, which we also reviewed, so we were nervous that they’d have a hard time sleeping with this new sound. When we went in the next morning at 6:30 a.m., the machine was still purring after 10.5 hours of continuous use. We found that keeping the light on and the volume high drains the sound machine much more quickly we let our kids have a few minutes of fun with the nightlight before ultimately turning it off to save the rest of the battery for the sound. While you do have the option of keeping the Marpac Hushh plugged in and running, the beauty is that once you charge it fully, you don’t have to worry about setting it anywhere near an outlet the Marpac Hushh has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.ĭepending on whether you use the nightlight and how high you keep the volume, this machine can last you anywhere between four and 22 hours.
