Available in a black or white hexagonal design that managed to look both solid and streamlined at the same time, this white noise machine will sit comfortably on any bedside dresser without dominating it. It measures up at just over 4 x 4 x 2 inches so it\u2019s a compact piece of kit weighing a fraction over a pound. While it\u2019s not designated as a travel machine, it certainly fits the bill if you want some peace and quiet when you\u2019re on the road.<\/span><\/p>While it\u2019s a pocket-sized machine, don\u2019t think for a minute you\u2019ll get a flimsy piece of kit. Build quality is top-notch and it feels amazingly substantial for a tiny device.<\/span><\/p>If you dislike tech and find complicated gadgets overwhelming, you\u2019ll love the stripped-down simplicity of the LectroFan. 2 vertically-aligned buttons take care of the power, volume and timer. Press on either side of the horizontal button sandwiching this pair to toggle between the various fan sounds and white noises on offer\u2026<\/span><\/p><\/p>
The selection here, since it\u2019s not muddied by any nature sounds, is more than wide enough for most tastes. The ambient noises run from a very low-pitched batch of brown noises up through mid-range pink noises, topping out with some far higher-pitched white noise at the upper end. Many of these machines offer only a slim choice of sounds meaning if you find it grates, you\u2019re clean out of luck. Replacing the idea of a physical fan, there are also 10 electronic fan noises to navigate if the colored noise is not to your liking. These replicate the sound kicked out by ceiling fans, box fans or circular fans but without the iced factor.<\/span><\/p>Another key advantage of the LectroFan is that the sounds are not recorded but dynamically generated. This sidesteps the repetitive nature that can blight lengthy recordings.<\/span><\/p>The solid-state set-up means there are no moving parts to let you down. Surprisingly given its diminutive stature, the volume packs a considerable punch at full clip.<\/span><\/p><\/p>
Powered by either AC supply or USB, you can enjoy complete versatility with this white noise machine whether at home or traveling.<\/span><\/p>A number of happy users have fed back success stories of cajoling their babies sleep-wards with the LectroFan. Since the volume is so easy to manipulate and the 60-minute timer shuts things down without exposing their young ears to extended periods of sound, this unit works admirably if you want some assistance with a baby reluctant to edge toward a contented sleep.<\/span><\/p>As well as functioning as an effective sleep aid, you can also press the LectroFan into commission if you want an added boost of focus when you\u2019re working or studying at home. If you work from home, perhaps you find the daytime environment a little too disturbing for proper concentration. Give the white noise or fans a blast and you might just find yourself lasering in more efficiently on the task at hand rather than being distracted by the neighborhood dogs or children.<\/span><\/p>There are no serious downsides to this white noise machine merely a couple of minor niggles. While not expensive, it\u2019s among the pricier of these units so if you\u2019re motivated purely by the bottom line, one of the other models we review would be a better bet. Equally, if you want the sounds of wildlife and nature to edge you into the land of nod, look elsewhere. The only other limitation is that the timer has a single 1-hour setting so it\u2019s not as adaptable as some competing machines.<\/span><\/p>Check out just where the LectroFan excels before we give you our verdict and move on to our next white noise machine review\u2026<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
