Product Reviews of Marpac 980A Sound Screen Sleep Conditioner White Noise Generator Dual Speed
Product Review: Couldn't live without it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 3rd one we've bought. One in my girls' room, one at their daycare provider's where they sleep, and one for mine & my husband's room. My husband switched to the night shift and sleeps a few hours during the day and again in the evening for a bit. He thought he'd be able to do it without the sound machine... after the first day he tried to sleep, I ordered it. Now he can't hear a thing outside the room, even if the girls & I are home and playing. We take one with us on vacation, to the beach cottage, anywhere we put the girls down for a nap!Product Review: Definitely Too Quiet
Summary: 1 Stars
I spent an hour reading hundreds of reviews for this product before I bought it. A few people claimed it was too quiet, a few said it was too high-pitched, etc. I use a fan set to high for white noise in my bedroom when I sleep, and it's perfect. I was afraid the Sound Screen would be too quiet, but I figured if it was, I'd just use it in the future in our baby room.
I received it in the mail last week and plugged it in, and even with both the cap and the collar rotated to allow as much white noise as possible...it was whisper-quiet. It says to place across the room from you for full effect, but even when I then moved it to my bedside table, I could hear a pin drop over it. I'm very disappointed with the machine...great concept, but they should have designed it so that the user could manipulate the loudness more effectively.
So...this went right back into the box, to be saved for when my husband and I have a baby and need it in the baby room. What a waste of $40.
Product Review: Do not buy this product and don't believe the Made in USA hype
Summary: 1 Stars
Ours broke within 72 hours of use. Most US manufacturers use brute force to create "quality." There's not much innovation in this product and other sound machines with a variety of selections are more useful than this machine for a newborn or young kids. Don't put your faith in this company or its products...you'll be disappointed. Again, ours broke within hours of use. American quality...whatever...Product Review: Does the job well
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fifth Sleep Mate I've owned (we keep leaving them in hotels or burning them out while overseas). Basically, we can't live without this little device. It makes a soft whirring noise that blocks out other noises. We use it not only in our bedroom at home but also take it along when we travel. To us, it's better than the ones that have birds chirping or waterfalls be cause it's a consistent noise that blends into the environment rather than being a specific sound.Product Review: Does the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Marpac 980A generates a steady white noise that successfully masks ambient noise. I am a light sleeper and am easily disturbed by noise from the street and from interior sounds generated by various appliances and electronic devices in my home. The Marpac help me get a good night's sleep. It is easy to operate and to adjust the intensity of the sound. My only complaint is in their product identification. It took me a lot of research, including going to their website to figure out that the same product has different names. Don't know why they do this. Use the model number.
