I am so mad we have wasted so much money on these, so I will find another product. Unfortunately our most recent purchase has only lasted 7 months. “ I want to give this 5 stars because the portability and ability to control volume is great, but we have purchased 3 of these machines because the knob shorts out. The biggest complaint I discovered were people whose machine died rather quickly or did not stand up to usual wear and tear. Then I thought of this on 1/13/13, and now she sleeps!!!!!!” I got her DVDs and CDs from the library and she hated them all. She already was eating healthy and exercising as much as could be expected, but she could not sleep. She tried everything for sleep: melatonin, Ambien, a 1/2 glass of wine, herbal remedies, diets, low/no sugar, the list goes on and on. “My mom has had bad insomnia for several years, more noticeably in the past year as she recovered from knee surgery that left her in a lot of pain even after her knee had “healed”. Though not as popular as some of the other machines reviewed, fans of the Sound Spa are dedicated in their enthusiasm. The Homedics Sound Spa is available at most big box stores and retails for $19.99 at Target, Walmart, Amazon and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Homedics SoundSpa on my night stand Pricing and Availability Essentially with the Sound Spa you get the quality that you pay for, which is fine for perhaps temporary housing or a room that gets used every-so-often. This machine could be ideal in a guest room, for an older child or in a more private environment for a college student, though it may not hold up in a dormitory. It would only take one wrestling match between my boys to potentially put an end to this somewhat fragile seeming option. Given the price point and the weight of this machine, it did not come as a surprise. My instincts are to use this as a travel sound machine, as I have two young children and I fear that the slightest tumble would have this in pieces on the floor. I used the white noise option, adjusted the volume towards the lower half of the dial (after trying it at a louder volume initially to only fear we may have blown out the speaker) and I slept well. The Sound Spa is easy to navigate and small enough in size to be used most anywhere. Top Picks: Check out my best white noise sound machine page! My Experience For those who like to sleep with consistent sound throughout the night, leave your selection and forgo using the timer. The 15, 30 or 60 minute light will indicate your selection. Select the sound of your choosing, and if preferred, the amount of time you want the sound to be on by pressing the timer button. After plugging in the machine or inserting the batteries, use the volume dial to turn the machine on and off. Simple to use the Sound Spa, just like the baby version, is very intuitive.
