Question 1

I can't help but notice that this device is about 5 times more expensive than similar products. Is it really that much better?

Accepted Answer

I purchased an older version of this model on April 4th, 2011 from Amazon.  It was, I believe, over $100 at that time.  I also had some issues at first, as the machine quit working.  I called the manufacturing company direct and received excellent customer service.  The customer service rep at first thought the problem could not be fixed but then advised a possible fix of reinserting the chip that runs the machine.  I did so and the machine has worked now for 8+ years and has worked through thousands of hours of service over the past 8 years.  So, yes, this company produces an excellent product.  I own 3 sound machines.  One is a Marpac, also expensive, and it is still working after 10 years or so but I like the sound this machine makes even better.  The cheaper sound machines often will tend to diminish in volume if you use them a lot.  For those of you who've had issues, call Ecotones and ask for help.  You can tell by talking to their customer service reps that this is a company that actually cares about making a good product that satisfies the customer.

Question 2

I am trying to keep my room as dark as possible while I'm sleeping. Are there any lights on the front of this? and if so can they be turned off? power

Accepted Answer

This is one of the best features of this sound machine! There is a display button that shuts off all the lights fully. I think of it as Night Mode. When in this mode, if you press a button, it illuminated briefly while you click but then shuts back off so you don’t have to keep turning Night Mode back on after you’re in it.

Question 3

is 120 minutes the max time for the timer?

Accepted Answer

Matt,   Yes, 2 hours is the max time for the timer.   But, you can choose to not set the timer and it will operate until you turn it off in the morning. It's wonderful, I love it.   Two hours is enough for me. If I need to get up in the night, I just turn it back on when I get back in bed.

Question 4

Will it drown out the sound of LOUD bass from stereo speakers located directly under the floor (jerk tenant put speakers on the wall up by his ceiling

Accepted Answer
