It's a very nice and inexpensive sleep noise generator. I like that it is USB powered for easy travel. My only negative, is that when the unit has been on for most of the night it starts a "beat" in the noise that is somewhat annoying!
We received this as a gift in addition to the sound machine we requested on our registry. It’s nice looking, has a bunch of different sounds, and very easy to operate in the dark, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately the quality of the white noise isn’t very good - it layers on sound instead of disguising background noises. We have a different sound machine and with the Nod I can still hear doors being opened, our dogs nails on the floor, conversations in the next room, someone using the bathroom, etc but the other machine blocks out all that when set at the same volume. I’ve used a decibel meter to check that they are the same loudness, but the frequency of the Nod just doesn’t work to hide sounds as well. I also wish you could set the volume for the white noise separate from the music and wish the nightlight was dimmable, as it’s bright enough to be very distracting for our baby. It’s a nice device for the price point but the white noise just doesn’t block out sounds effectively and that’s kinda the whole point.
Love it, I usually use the nature sounds. Makes a huge difference when there are late night visitors in the house and I want to sleep, or when the street noise gets annoying in the mornings.
Bought just over a year ago for our baby but the electrical connection port has become loose and is now so finicky that we can only get it to work about 50% of the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry to hear you had an issue with your Nod! Please scroll down the page and click on "Submit a Support Request", we would be happy to work with you on a replacement through our 1 year warranty.
I bought this hoping I could sleep. My grandbabies have one so I thought it might help. I have severe insomnia. My husband has a Bi-pap machine and sometimes still tries to snore. I would try sleep on the couch, in another bedroom or just lay awake all night. It made for a long day at work. With this on I can sleep through the night in my bed with my husband. I wish I bought this 3 years ago! It's been a lifesaver!
Great sound machine. The light is a nice soft light. Not too bright. Love all the different sounds this one offers and I like how it remembers the last sound you were using per button (white noise/nature/nursery). We quickly and easily revert to specific music/sounds at different times so this is a nice advantage. Also, once you scycle through the sounds for each button it beeps to let you know youre at the end of the list. I do like this so I can keep track of what sound I'm on (from the manual) The timer is nice to have but I haven't used yet.
With me being nit picky, the only things I would change at this time is to show a button for all the different sounds like another version, or have a more customizable timer. Also, with all the talk about red light for sleeping, it would be cool if the light offered that as well.
I absolutely love my noise machine. I gave them as gifts and the people I gave them to absolutely love their machine as well. There are multiple sounds so it is easy to find the perfect sound that fits your needs and the timer is perfect. I highly recommend!
