"5.0 out of 5 stars" - A must have for a baby/toddler's room. An absolute must have for shift workers.I used to have it bad, for ten years I often worked nights and lived in hotels. Maids vacuuming in the next room, doors slamming shut, kids running and yelling in the hall. Without the Marpac Sleepmate II, now the Marpac Dohm-DS Dual Speed Sound Conditioner my sleep was constantly being disturbed. I would toss and turn in bed for nine plus hours and would still feel unrested. With the sound conditioner I would sleep for 6.5 to 7.0 hours and wake up before my alarm went off feeling like a million bucks. It hides noises that would wake you, but it also hides the lesser noises that would just disturb your sleep by barely waking you (small wakes that you won't remember in the morning) or just keeping you from going into deep recuperative sleep. I fall asleep faster and sleep better with it.My daughter as a baby, toddler, and now a five year old sleeps like a dream with it. I would turn it on when she was a baby and that plus one or two short lullabies and she was out for a long nap or a long night. I believe, that when she would wake prematurely, as naturally happens, the soothing sound or perceived quietness from the sound conditioner, ensured her brain that everything was as it should be, so she would not get curious or upset, and if her mind/body needed more sleep she would fall right back into it. She wouldn't wake until she was thoroughly rested. Sometimes I would have to stir her from three plus hour afternoon naps instead of letting her wake on her own. Even if she was just a naturally perfect sleeper and it wasn't so much the sound conditioner, It did allow adults to not have to tip toe around the house while the baby/toddler is sleeping. That right there, makes it worth it. I lived in a small apartment and I would do dishes, watch TV, flush the toilette right outside her room, and even vacuum while she slept. I'd make the noise and peek inside her room and she wouldn't even stir.My girlfriend would sleep with a table top fan on her nightstand blasting air across her face all night because she needed it to sleep. Of course after years of that she started waking up with bloody noses. I figured she needed the white noise of the fan blades more than the sinus drying gale force wind. I bought her a sound conditioner and convinced her to run the ceiling fan at a moderate speed. It worked, she loves it.Quality: I have had mine for four and a half years (as of April 2014) and I can guarantee that I have abused mine more than just about anybody out there. I used mine when I was at home and I tossed it in a suitcase to travel an average of 18 days every month. In and out of home, suitcases, and hotels. I would also fly with it in my checked baggage several times a year. It still works and looks great. The only thing I can fault it on is that the still functioning fine switch doesn't have the same solid click/feel that it had when new when you switch it back to center. Up or down to switch it to low or high and I still get the reassuring feel/sound from the switch. A solid accomplishment for the years of abuse I've given it. Yours will likely sit on a night stand and last forever.Buy it!=)
