The white noise machine has a variety of functionality. It has 6 different sound options from classical music and nursery songs to nature and white noise. The soft blue nightlight emanating from the bottom is enough to light a dim room. The rotating image projector includes a rainforest, the sea and the night sky. These features all work to soothe your baby.
Even if you set it to go off after 1 hour, the sounds will still continue to play continuously through the night until you manually turn off the device. This is useful when your baby has fallen asleep and the nightlight and image projector arent necessary anymore, yet the sound still is.
There is a voice-activation feature that restarts the sounds when your baby stirs in the night, eliminating the need for you to get out of bed to turn it on yourself. When turned on, the device begins playing sounds and projecting images when your baby wakes and makes noise. This auto-restart mechanism helps your baby fall back asleep by himself.
This machine won't run on batteries, making it less ready for travel than other devices. You'll have to make sure you have access to an outlet if you wanna take the machine with you on vacation.
This is the only sound machine with that a heartbeat track. Many babies get comfort out of the heartbeat sound on loop since it makes them feel like they're inside the womb again.
It's lightweight and portable to stash in your diaper bag. Having a battery operated option gives you flexibility to travel without worrying if there will be a conveniently placed outlet or not.
A set of new AAA batteries would only take 2-3 days to get consumed. While this may be an affordable product, you will spend a lot of money on replacement batteries so it is advisable to use rechargable ones.
It effectively eliminates external noise using 20 fan sounds such as industrial, ventilation, house, air purifier, oscillating, etc. According to Amazon reviews, many have tested and succeeded in drowning traffic noise, conversational dialogues and even kitchen noise with the Lectrofan.
The machine is small yet visually appealing. It's easy to integrate on any space, whether on a desk or nightstand. It looks like a small heptagonal speaker and its rubber feet keeps it from sliding around when you press the buttons on the front.
The Lectrofan is very precise with its volume. You can adjust for the sound to go quieter or louder in 1 decibel increments, allowing you to find that perfect volume comfortable for you.
It has no LCD display to tell you what sound you have on, or what level your volume is. There's no way of knowing what settings to go back to if the machine gets unplugged or if someone else touches the controls.
