Review on 🔊 Portable Sympa White Noise Machine with Night Light for Baby - 10 Soothing Sounds, 16H Playtime, 2 Auto-Off Timers & Child Lock for Sleeping and Relaxing by Jenna Fonoti

Let's start by saying that this little thing is adorable! The original hangers look like an antenna on a small beetle, very cute. The puck itself is about 4 inches in diameter and a few inches thick, making it ideal for travel. I don't read instructions so I just jumped in and tried to figure out the buttons. First there is the "lock”. ", ideal for protecting little hands from unwanted play. Then on the right we have buttons for power, volume and light and on the left for sound and timer options. We liked the fact that the volume can also be very low. that loud enough The timer gives you 60 or 120 minute options, or without using the timer you can use it all night and on a full charge it will last much longer than a night's sleep. The light is a nice feature, not adjustable but nice warm glow perfect for a dark hotel room. Sound is what this machine was designed for, so let's talk a little bit about it. Two buttons for sounds give you 5 options each. The heart symbol button plays two types of white noise, two piano solos and heartbeat. The key with the music icon (odd, s music is triggered by another key) plays 5 nature sounds, such as crickets in the swamp, waves, thunderstorms, etc. The overall sound is acceptable, if not a bit tinny. The first white noise is the most useful noise in my opinion. White noise helps drown out background noise and aids in falling asleep. The second white noise had a weird flanged effect, I didn't care. The piano pieces are good, one is a well-known Debussy solo, the other I didn't know and the heartbeat sounds like a heartbeat. The other 5 are nice nature sounds, but there is one issue that bothers me - the cycles are short and at the end you can tell when they start all over again. It drives me crazy but can't do the same for you. It's not that the looping points are annoying, no, they're just noticeable, and the longest I found was only 30 seconds, so I noticed that it starts over every 30 seconds. Fortunately, white noise doesn't do this. All in all we love it and look forward to traveling with this cute night light/sound machine. We'll probably only use it for white noise and night light, but that alone is worth it.
