Customer Reviews of HoMedics SS-2000 Sound Spa Relaxation Sound Machine with 6 Nature Sounds, Silver
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product! We had been using a cd player with a white noise cd played on repeat for my son's bedroom. But then we needed the cd player somewhere else so I got on Amazon to see what was out there. After reading the reviews I finally decided to go with this one. So far it has been worth the price and more! This device is so small it takes up very little space on the dresser, yet it is plenty loud enough for sleeping, even at half volume. We use the waterfall setting for the white noise effect. It plays all night with no problems. In fact, sometimes we forget to turn it off in the morning and much later in the day it is still playing strong! We've had it for a little over a month and no issues. Once again, a GREAT product!!Customer Review: Nice thought, but no staying power.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought one of these to drown out my husband's sleep apnea breathing machine. It has 6 different sounds to choose from. I prefer the rainforest or summer night setting. The ocean and waterfall made me want to run to the bathroom too many times during the night, and the heartbeat was downright scary sounding. The reason I gave this item only 2 stars is that, after 3 months, it started malfunctioning. The transformer cord keeps coming loose, so that the machine quits. I had also purchased one of these units for my neighbor, who works nights and sleeps during the day. She said her unit was doing the same thing. So it must be a manufacturing fault. Anyway, I would not recommend this unit if you want a long-term noise solution.Customer Review: Very compact, but "low" volume is not low!
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this for my daughter, as her very old one finally gave out. We both loved the fact that it was so compact, so it stores away nicely, but the low volume is actually quite loud. She likes a sound machine on a very low volume setting, so she didn't like the fact that this one didn't allow her to do so. She ended up having to muffle it by throwing a towel over it so it wouldn't be so loud, and that has worked for her.
The sound quality is very good, and you can play this sound machine continually (all night like my daughter likes to), or you can put it on 3 different timer settings. I would only recommend this product to someone if they're willing to put up with the rather loud, "low" volume setting.
Customer Review: Got what I paid for....
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't buy this from Amazon, but a local store. I bought this machine to replace my Philips machine that worked fabulous, but was over 15 years old. First - the ocean wave sound is not even close to my previous machine. I can tolerate it though. Every time you touch the on/off/volume knob you get static and it cuts out. Mine has an electrical adapter thank goodness. When you set it to a time, it works, but it doesn't turn off. It ends and the unit stays on until you remember the next morning to turn it off. I thought that being HoMedics, it would be fabulous. It does work and the ocean sound isn't great. I got my $17 worth. I'm shopping for another machine and that's why I'm here writing this review.Customer Review: A fine little machine
Summary: 5 Stars
A fine little machine. Does what it says it should do and does it well. There are a variety of quality sounds all relaxing. The heartbeat sound is a bit creepy, but for some that may be ok. The sounds of the ocean are our favorite, though you do hear seagulls in the background. The sound quality is excellent and fills a room nicely. The addition of the timer or unlimited play is helpful. A good little machine.
Pros:
- Quality sound, both in volume and content
- Timer feature or unlimited play
- Small form factor
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Sounds are repetitive (though not distractingly so)
- The heartbeat is a bit creepy, perhaps for some
