LectroFan - White Noise Machine and Non-Looping Fan Sounds with Sleep Timer (Classic, Black)

I got this for my boyfriend to use, as having the tower fan on was annoying me, as it was too loud, has lights on it, it makes a beeping noise when it turns off, and I'm sure it uses quite a lot of power. I haven't tested it, but I feel like this small item must use less power, and it doesn't make any annoying beeping sounds, and, of course, doesn't cool the room down! It has a choice of sounds, and we found one that's fairly close to the fan sound from our tower fan. Being able to adjust the volume is a great feature, and really makes this a worthwhile purchase, even though it is quite expensive for what it is.We usually just pop it on for an hour. At first, I thought it was a shame that it doesn't have half-hour increments like the tower fan, or a remote, but we've actually found that using the 1-hour timer is absolutely fine, and now don't miss those features at all.I've only used it in one place so far, but like that it's small enough to easily take with us to a hotel or friend's house if needed. I might buy the case for it, although that's quite pricey too, so maybe we'll just use a tupperware box or something instead!I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something like a fan but not a fan. It's better than those baby noise machines, as it offers more fan-like and white noise sounds, which we've found much better for drifting off to.

This machine works! I had been relying on the noise of fan in my bedroom since the Summer, to drown out the noise of other members of the family getting up for work, in adjoining bedrooms and the noise of the shower running and footsteps across the landing, etc!! However, over the past few months having the fan on made my bedroom too cold (apart from it being a costly waste of electricity!) and I had been "investigating" what would be the best alternative. Having read various Amazon reviews, I thought this machine would be most suitable - and thankfully it's proved correct. I am really pleased with the selection of fan noises (I think there are 10 choices) as well as volume adjustments to suit. There are also "white" noises available - which I am not too keen on, but as other reviewers have said, I think these would be suitable for getting a baby off to sleep - and keeping the baby asleep! I am definitely pleased with this purchase. Initially, I was a bit undecided as the Lectrofan is a bit more costly than other products available, but it is worth the money in my view as it's something that I will use for years to come.

I live in a very quiet house. At night you can really hear a pin-drop. But I have housemates, which is what makes this little device essential. I should have gotten one much sooner for although my housemates do their best to be quiet, this is an old house with creaky floorboards and paper thin doors. I wouldn't say that the LectroFan drowns out these noises, more like it gives your mind something else to focus on. In a deathly quiet home, every little noise is amplified and its these little infrequent noises that wake me up. With the LectroFan whirring in the corner of my room I don't notice the other sounds and have been sleeping so much better since I brought it. The price tag is not cheap, but when you use it every night, it quickly pays for itself.I would like to add that the device itself is quite small and the sound produced can be on the tinny side. To combat this I place the machine upside down on a small empty cardboard box. Not only does this give the audio a more natural sounding bass, but it also softens it too.

My future wife can only sleep with the noise of a fan running. Our fan broke and my darling woman become violent at night just before sleeping. She started hitting me and saying "it's too quiet! I can't sleep! Fix it or I won't marry you!" Obviously, I started to panic, we go through two or three fans a year, so I needed a more permanent solution. I found the lectrofan and took a chance. I bet on it with my life in fact. It came the next day, (thanks amazon prime) I gave it to her while shielding myself with the packaging. She looked at me with venom and whispered "if this doesn't work, you're done!" She plugged it in, I held the dog and shook with trepidation......... it worked!!!!! Last night was the best nights sleep in the last week. Thanks lectrofan, you didn't just save my marriage, you saved my life!! I would highly recommend it to anyone suffering like I was or to someone who just needs a bit of noise to sleep. It really works and is well worth the money.

Can't rate this highly enough. I don't know how this little machine manages to do it, but it successfully masks the noise from the neighbour's TV through the poor insulation in the wall. On the very rare occasion now when the TV manages to wake me, I find I don't fully wake, but just notch up the volume on the machine slightly and drop back to sleep. It's taken away the stress of the situation. If you've ever spent several nights a week awake at 2am when you have to go to work the next morning, you'll know what I mean. It has multiple choices of white noise and fan noise, but I just picked one and haven't had to change since. I really wish I'd bought it years ago.Update June 2017Still working amazingly well. Getting full night's sleep every night. Can't believe the noises I used to hear have completely stopped since I bought this machine - but I don't hear them and I sleep well. I would recommend it without hesitation.
