Marpac SleepMate 980A Electro-Mechanical Sound Conditioner
Marpac Sound Screen & SleepMate 980 combines American ingenuity and craftsmanship to create a lightweight, yet durable appliance capable of many years of reliable service. Marpac sound conditioners create a consistent, smooth sound of rushing air. The tone and volume of the sound are controlled by simply rotating the "cap" and "collar" of the housing. This "white noise" sound effectively masks unwanted noises and creates a sense of calm, making it easier to concentrate, relax and/or sleep. These sound conditioners are recommended for restless sleepers, shift workers, infants, children, students, apartment dwellers, office workers (for confidentiality) and many others. The dual speed 980 is made of durable plastic housing suitable for travel or use in the home or office.

I like it. (2010-03-10) : 4/5
So far I am enjoying my new sound machine. I could use just a little more volume on mine at times though.
BEST Sound Machine Option on the Market!!! (2010-03-10) : 5/5
I regret that I have never taken the time to review any of my purchases, especially since I often rely on other's reviews when making purchases, and when purchasing this sound machine in particular. I cannot say enough about the Marpac Sound/Sleep Machine. I have been using fans to cover up noise and fill in the quiet for years, yet a fan cannot even compare to what this machine does. It is like a miracle machine that doesn't just cover up noise, it swallows it whole, leaving not even a crumb of outside sound to bother you. The true test was giving one to my parents, who have had a fan in their room since I can remember because of ringing in my dad's ears. They were sold after the first night and really couldn't get over how well the white noise filled the room and covered up outside noise, and without the cold breeze blowing dust around!! I just purchased a third one for my daughter's room and really want to buy one for all the people that I care about in my life!
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Can't live without it! (2010-03-09) : 5/5
I just bought my second SleepMate. The first one still works fine but I thought that after 16 years of heavy use it was time for a new one.(My wife and I fight over it when I travel). I'm a light sleeper so this machine has changed my life because it provides a soft background noise that helps keep me in my deep sleep. This is probably one of the best products I have ever purchased.
It will wear out eventually... (2010-03-09) : 3/5
I am unfortunately always having to replace this product after a while as it wears out. I have been using one to help me sleep for the last seven years and I am currently on my third one. They always end up developing a "rattle" or "whirring" noise---and not the good kind of "whirring" but a distracting "something's-not-right-with-this-thing" kind of whirring, over time. Also, they really don't cover up noise, but rather help the brain into an alpha-wave state, which is associated with deep physical and mental relaxation. I still hear all kinds of ambient noise, even with it on. I also wish it had a lower tone, but it is the best one out there, so I will keep on buying it even though it ain't perfect. When you are sleep deprived, you'll take whatever's close enough!
Not loud enough (2010-03-08) : 2/5
This sound conditioner has a nice whooshing nice, but wasn't loud enough for us. Our goal was to cover the household sounds so our baby could sleep without disturbance, and this machine didn't produce enough noise for that. We have an inexpensive sound machine that we can turn up much louder.
