Marpac Yogasleep Dohm UNO White Noise Sound Machine with UK Plug, Real Fan Inside, Adjustable Volume, Noise Canceling for Sleep Aid, Office Privacy & Meditation, Baby & Adults, Travel & Home Essential

Perfect!

It’s a really great little machine but I wish it was a bit louder. I find the noise relaxing and actually making me sleepy but it doesn’t cover the noises coming from the outside so well.

I bought this device as we were suffering from being woken by noisy neighbours in the middle of the night. I’d read some reviews about different noise machines and was put off trying an electronic one that play sounds through a speaker. I’d slept with fans in the past to keep me cool during the summer and always liked the sound and found it quite relaxing. When I found these fan noise machines, I was curious as to how effective they might be, so looked into it and found the premium ones were very expensive and the more affordable ones were typically badly reviewed. After looking across Amazon, I found this one to be the best reviewed for the price point so decided to give it a go. As other reviews have also mentioned unfortunately this one does tend to make a very slight ticking/tapping sound whilst being run however, this can be circumvented by either slightly tilting the unit by placing an object underneath it, or placing it on a soft surface that could absorb some vibrations like your carpet. This is the only real critique and reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The device itself is relatively small, reasonably sleek in design, and functionality wise is very easy to use. It has a simple on off switch, and then you rotate the top of the unit to adjust the amount of air that can exit the unit, and thus Changing the amount of noise that is admitted from the unit. I use this device on full power, and have found it to be very effective at blocking out other sounds whilst I’m asleep. It produces very little draft, you can just feel a slight amount being produced if you put your fingers quite close to the unit, however, this is not something that bothers me. I believe for the money, this is the best unit you could probably buy to produce a genuine fan/wind sound on a budget, and creates a peaceful white noise sound.

Best in class white noise machine. Bought for 3rd baby to dim some of the household noise in the bedroom. The noise is wonderful but doesn’t function on this machine correctly. The fan mechanism sounds loose and faulty. Waiting for a resolution from MarPac.

I bought this for work travel. I have an American model Marpac Dohm that is much more robust. I have tried to use that one in Europe, and even with an adapter it overheats and dies, so I purchased the UK version. It is less than half the volume and barely covers any street noise the way the US model does.
