Customer Reviews of Marpac SleepMate 980A Electro-Mechanical Sound Conditioner
Customer Review: Really glad we bought this!
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently purchased the Marpac Sleepmate and I wish we would have gotten one sooner. It produces a consistent white noise that surprisingly masks intrusive sounds better than I had anticipated when I first plugged it in. It can be adjusted to several levels of volume and sound pitches. We were even able to nap through Lawnmower Man's weekly 4-hour lawncare extravaganza (which is the reason we bought the machine in the first place.) I want to take it on vacation and see how it works in motel rooms. Customer Review: Extraordinarily Loud and Bizarre Whirring Sound.
Summary: 1 Stars
This white noise machine is very very loud, yet you can hear this weird whirring sound, like the electrical current changes during use or something. Anyways, I found it hard to fall asleep with it on.Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This product does exactly what I need it to, and it is very easy to control.Customer Review: Great White Noise Machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I live on the first floor in an apartment with what seems to be paper thin walls and flooring. I have very noisy neighbors and constantly hear footsteps, water running, and various other outside noises.
This white noise machine works great at minimizing distractions and helping to have more peaceful sleep. Also helps to drown out noise in my own apartment if I am having a conversation that I want to ensure that no one else hears.
It took me about a week to get used to it so be prepared for that when you first get it. I keep mine on the low setting with the top all the way open and the sides all the way closed. This seems optimum to me. Keep in mind on the high setting with all of the vents fully wide open, this thing can get loud. I don't see how anyone can sleep with it on that setting but I'm sure some people do...
I still hear footsteps but what is great about this machine is that you end up concentrating on the white noise while sleeping so you are not suddenly woken up by loud noises. It does an excellent job of blocking out sounds such as TVs, music, talking, and water running.
It is pricy but I think this is a must if you live in an apartment. Also the SleepMate and SoundScreen models are the exact same thing just different labels. I believe the SleepMate is marketed towards consumers and the SoundScreen is marketed towards businesses.
Customer Review: USED THIS FOR YEARS AND LOVED IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this for YEARS and have loved it. I finally 'got over the need' for the white noise, but would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone who wants a white noise machine.
