Tiny but mighty
on May 23, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone has different needs, but in my opinion, this little smart lamp is a must-have for the newborn phase and will be helpful moving forward too. I feel lucky to have received it to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! I usually carefully read instructions (yes, I am on that 1% list), but I didn’t need it this time: this is almost a plug-and-play device. You do have to create a Nanit account, but it is very straightforward, and the app is super user-friendly. I have an Android phone, and with the latest app updates, I created pre-set routines, combining different sounds and lights. Red light stimulates melatonin, so I set up the sleep/nap routine with red light and soothing wave sounds. We turn it on after bath time, and it stays on until we go to bed (the baby is in our room). Since I put the lamp at my bedside table, I have another set up with bright white light and no sound to use as a reading light. And I may create a third routine for waking up, maybe pink light with bird sounds, to feel like Snow White! Jokes aside, I did need this type of gadget during the newborn phase. The all-in-one set of light, sound, and watch was handy during all the newborn nighttime wakeups when I often watched the clock while nursing, counting the minutes to go back to sleep! At that time, I was also logging all the feeding, so I needed the clock and wanted to avoid taking my phone. Another plus: you can regulate the clock display intensity! That’s nice because I do find those bright blue night clocks annoying! Now, my baby is 7 months old, and I appreciate not having to use my phone all the time: I can just set up the routines in advance and turn them off with the button. There are also buttons to adjust the volume and the light intensity, which is helpful! I haven’t used it on battery yet, I just have it plugged in. Lastly, I appreciate that this lamp is small enough to use when traveling, which is always a plus. The cry detection feature can be useful if you want to travel only with the lamp, without a monitor. Overall, I recommend this machine: it makes life easier, helps set routines, and will be an asset in and out of your home.

Could not give this machine enough praise
on May 23, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby used a smart bassinet with a built in sound machine, transitioning into a crib, we lost that feature. Immediately, baby’s sleep was awful. We bought a baby monitor with a built in sound machine, it was just ok. It had a night light, and two sounds to pick from at a set volume, it was just ok. Receiving this sound machine and light combo as a part of the stellar product testing panel, was a game changer. The adjustable light AND sound can be changed from the device itself or the app, this feature alone made transfers to the crib possible without waking her. The app, so far, is bullet proof. Even our smart bassinet had connectivity issues from time to time and after weeks of use, we’ve yet to encounter any problems with this machine. Baby occasionally goes to grandmas and the fact that it is rechargeable makes it portable and travel friendly. In addition, it’s sleek design doesn’t disrupt the look of any room. I would recommend this product over and over again to any expecting mama. We loved it so much, we’re considering buying a second for our 4 year old son, and maybe a third for us too.

Great sound machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Stellar Review Products to test. Overall I feel that for what it was, it was a great piece of tech. I would however like to have everything in one device that featured a camera and light machine. Taking the Nanit out of the box, I was very impressed with the quality of the manufacturing. From the feel of the buttons, weight of the product and LED display. The machine was a little hard to connect to the app but I’m not sure if that was due to my internet connection. The machine however, does need to stay plugged in, which I did not like. You cannot use the app unless the machine is plugged in. Once connected though, the app is very user friendly. If it was more portable that would have been a nice feature. I have used the night feature every night since receiving it and my baby did sleep thru the night multiple times. This is something we have struggled with! The wind down program is a nice reminder that bed time is coming I really like how you can adjust the brightness and volume from the app. If something is too loud or bright, I can adjust it without going into his room affecting my little ones sleep. Or if there is more noise outside I can turn it up. Another thing I did like too is the always on display that doubles as a clock. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a sound machine that has sleep and wake settings.

Great little unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The app connectivity is probably the best part. I can turn the light off when baby falls asleep and on if I need to do something quietly in the nursery. The clock on the front is handy and the device buttons can be disabled via the app. I have like 4 routines set at the moment for winding down,sleep, wake up, and off. Cons the sound and light buttons take a long press/hold to make a real change. Overall I like it and would recommend. I think they’re rolling out a new cry detection feature which seems great. Product received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Great light and sound machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. A good selection of sounds and music. The light can be easily set to the right brightness. My favorite thing is the ability to start the white noise on my phone from another room. The presets are easy to set and switch between. It looks great and is a nice size. I received this light and sound machine as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Lovely programable sound machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've enjoyed using this to help with our bedtime routine. It's very customizable so I can use for my baby at night and have a really low light when I'm nursing. But I also enjoyed using it for my 6-year-old to wake up in the morning. The app was easy to change the light or sound. You do have to be careful not to change the sound while your baby is sleeping if your playing around in the app! I love the minimal look of it and my favorite part is being able to program routines. I just leave it plugged in and it runs all the sounds and lights I set up. I received this product as a part of the stellar product testing panel.

Absolutely in love
on May 23, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am officially converted. First off it connected so smoothly. Everything is so easily adjustable as far as volume and color/brightness goes. Therer are quite a few options for the sound. And surprisingly most are truly soothing. I honestly want to get one for my bedside table. Right now we are in the middle of transitioning rooms so it sits on the floor by the crib. Only flaw was the plug broke the first time I pulled it out. The metal part completely detached. Thankfully I have many usbc chargers, so I was able to continue charging it. I'm sure it's not the company's fault but rather a production flaw. Aside from that I LOVE this sound light machine. I love it more than a high priced competitor that I also have. Bonus it has a clock and that in itself is awesome!
I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but don't let that fools you. I always review honestly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to test thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We already own a couple of similar sound/light machines but now with a 4th kid, this came in as a much needed addition!
The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to set up and the option to display a clock. At first the app didn't allow to program the light so I was disappointed as I consider this feature pretty much essential, but they updated it recently and it is now possible. It is otherwise very similar to what we have in terms of sound and light options.
Overall I love this device and will probably buy another one in the near future.
