LectroFan - Fan Sound and White Noise Machine, White (FFP)

I live in an incredibly noisy area and am constantly struggling with my sleep. This machine is solidly build, offers a good range of sounds, is easy to use and very successfully blocks all kinds of noises. Dog barking, TV, people yelling, traffic, music - you name it - this fantastic machine will cover them all! This is the best noise machine I have ever used and I highly recommend it.

Es la mejor compra que he hecho si tienes el sueño ligero como yo te va ayudar mucho y si tienes que concentrarte para estudiar también estoy por pedir el segundo es lo máximo vivo en México y llegó en tiempo aunque llegó en un sobre no se dañó en lo más mínimo si venía abierta la caja pero me imagino que lo abrieron en la aduana quizás es cuestión de pedir un embalaje oculto para mayor protección

I'm one of those light sleepers who always used a fan to drown out background noise. I'm also one of those kinds who can "hear every little thing", which means fans rarely last more than a year (if that) before the motors start to whine, eventually leading to long nights of lots of whining and little sleep on my part.After perusing the "sleep fans", I was unimpressed by their overall performance. Nothing in stores today has a fan motor without some whine to it (which eventually becomes a howl and I don't need Banshees in my room at night, thanks), and living as close as I do to a freeway, well, let's just say I'm ready to start initiatives to ban motorcycles and after market "mufflers" for young, stupid wannabe racing enthusiasts.So, in desperation, I turned to sound machines. I tried the mechanical ones that use a fan to replicate the "white noise" of a fan.It whined.I mean, really?So it went back and I despaired of a cost-effective solution to my whine-inspired insomnia. Drinking had next day drawback, pills aren't my thing (and had even worse next day drawbacks, and both were more expensive in the long run), so eventually I came across this. I reviewed the video and although volumes weren't easy to ascertain, I decided that I'd give it a try.I haven't slept better in years.It took several nights to find my "sound", which isn't the machine's fault. I tried all of the "fan" noises, but sadly, my brain played tricks on me and I heard a whine from it (My wife didn't, it was all in my head), but since it was a whine that kept me awake, I opted for the white-noise sounds and within a week I found one I could live with.As it happened, I'm thriving with it now.I have it sitting on my headboard, about six inches from my head on the lowest volume and its surprisingly rich sound drowns out virtually everything short of gunfire (which, to be honest, isn't much of an issue where I live). Even the fans didn't mask the sound of the garbage trucks. But this does. It handles low-pitched or lesser volume, high pitched sounds as if they aren't there.Back-up warning sounds, it could do better, but the fan wouldn't have been better. Compared to a box fan (my previous go-to) it is absolutely outstanding. It's consistent, it doesn't have any repetitive or looped sounds, no breaks, and it does the job better than any fan I've ever owned.It's also amazingly small for what it does. My wife thought I had put a monster stereo speaker under the bed. If I want more volume, I can turn it up to "earthquake", which is to say the lowest volume is more than adequate for my needs.The controls are positioned a bit awkwardly if you want it on its side (which works better for me) and it's sometimes amusing to figure out which button does what in the dark, but it will remember both the volume and setting even if it comes unplugged. Best of all, it's tiny size makes for ease of portability, which means when I travel, I can have it with me to get a good night's sleep away from home, too.I've used fans for 35+ years. I'll never go back to them again. If anyone needs a use fan (cheap, you pay shipping), I can swing a deal for you. In the meantime, I'm catching up on sleep after a few decades of bad sleeping episodes.[ Update 06/05/2023: My little sound machine is trucking along without a hitch. There is NOTHING to change in the review, and this thing has saved my sanity, and possibly my marriage. I bought it in January of 2016, and 7 years later, it's going and going and going.If noise is an issue in your sleeping environment, this is far more reliable, and far longer lasting, than any fan or other mechanical sound-maker. There are few things in life that I gush about, but this is one of them, and I recommend it without hesitation or reservation. ]

This machine has changed my sleep. After years of using earplugs to greater and lesser degrees of success, I finally decided to spring for a white-noise machine, so I Googled "best white-noise machine" and the LectroFan popped up. It's a bit pricey compared to some other options, but it is ABSOLUTELY worth the cost. There are about 8 fan sounds and another 8 white noises to choose from; you can run the sound continuously or put it on a timer to fade out slowly after an hour (a brilliant way to fall asleep, I might add - as the noise fades lower and lower, I find my mind is listening more and more closely to it so all distractions disappear and then I'm out like a light!). The volume is adjustable several degrees higher or lower and the machine itself is only slightly bigger than the palm of my hand. Lightweight, portable, I take it to hotels and when I'm visiting family and my sleep is consistently deep and restful. I put the machine on and I have an almost Pavlovian response to its soothing noise.This product isn't just for sleep; like all white-noise machines it can be used to mask unwanted sounds at any time and I've found it's particularly handy when I'm studying, working, or even meditating. A brilliant, brilliant little machine. 10/10.

This noise machine works to aid in my sleep. It helps drown out the outside noise in our area.

Sonidos de baja frecuencia ventilador / white noise, al principio no parece funcionar pero con el tiempo se vuelve necesario, funciona muy bien
