Amazon.com Hands-On Review
For parents whose vocal cords can't hold out for 200 rounds of "Hush Little Baby," a sound machine is a must for baby bedtime routines. And the DEX Sound Sleeper is one of the best ones we've ever found. This small (6 by 10 by 12 inches), simple device features a high quality speaker, on/off or 60-minute timer switch, volume control, single, combine, or random mode, battery or power adapter capability, headphone jack (headphones not included), and, most spectacularly, 10 sound options which can be combined to make 24 sound combinations altogether. Doctors and sleep experts recommend a consistent, relaxing sleep routine for newborns and older babies. Freeing baby's sleep environment of jarring or distracting outside noises is an important step in creating a soothing space for sleep. The Sound Sleeper provides just enough peaceful background noise to block household hubbub. Once baby becomes familiar with the sounds of this machine, she'll probably start yawning the minute she hears it! The Sounds of (Near) Silence
The sounds of Sound Sleeper don't have to be boring, just relaxing and repetitive. Experiment with the various sounds to find the perfect soporific. Summer Night
The buzz of peeper frogs and insects is a happy, sleepy, country sound. Rain
What's cozier than curling up in bed with a gentle rainstorm pattering outside the window? Brook
Burble, burble, burble—just don't try this one when your toddler is potty-training! Ocean
The deep tranquility of a calm ocean is unmatched for its lulling ability. Wind
The wind blows quietly in the trees, but you and baby are safe and sound at home. Womb
The rhythmic swishing sounds of the womb: it's a natural for soothing baby! Seagull
Just a few lonely seagull cries, widely spaced. Bird
Pretty, delicate bird song. Buoy
The distant ringing of a bell buoy. Great in combination with the Ocean sound. Thunder
Thunder rumbles, but the storm always stays far off in the distance. Best combined with Rain, of course. Experiment with the Combine mode to find the perfect sleep-inducing sounds for your baby. We like Brook and Bird, Wind and Thunder, and Ocean and Buoy, but who knows? Maybe the magic combination will be Womb and Seagull! The power adapter feature of the Sound Sleeper is very handy for everyday use, but the battery option is a lifesaver when traveling. The ability to leave the sound machine on all night long (or put it on the one-hour timer) is invaluable. Babies are notorious for waking up throughout the night; when they hear the same soothing sounds they fell asleep to, it will be much easier to return to those sweet dreams. Requires 4 AA batteries (not included). --Emilie Coulter

 Could not live without!!! February 5, 2006

This is just fantastic. We previously were using the lulaby bear but the darn thing kept messing up. We went through three of them before finding this. Here is the break down:
Good
1. Can have it play all night or use the automatic shut off.
2. Tons of sounds to choose from
3. Small, fits in our playards little rack where we keep diapers and such. Also easy to pack when staying somewhere overnight.
4. Has the option to plug in to save money instead of wasting batteries, but the battery option is nice to have two since you do not always have an outlet everywhere.
5. Can program it to play one sound, play two sounds at the same time (such as rain w/ thunder), or you can choose the option for it to play sounds at random.
6. Easy Easy Easy to use. I never even read the instruction manual.
Bad:
1. It does not go real real loud.
To give an example of how loud it goes. If we turn it up to full volume and close the bedroom door we can hear it (it is on the far side of the room away from the door, our room is an average master bedroom) if there is not another sound going on. But if the T.V, dishwasher, dogs, or shower is running anywhere in the house we cannot hear it. That is more than enough for us, especially since it is right next to our babies crib and as long as he hears it we are happy. Also when we go to bed and all things are off in the house we have to turn it down to its lowest volume otherwise it is too loud. I hope that helps!!
We tote it everywhere--good for newborns AND older babies. March 24, 2006

I consider this one of the essential baby care gadgets, far more essential than a wipe warmer. Many baby experts seem to agree that newborns crave the swooshing sounds of the womb, and that silence, for them, is startling. Our newborn would cease screaming AS SOON AS WE TURNED THE WOMB SOUNDS ON. Other people, observing this, could not believe it, and, though they laughed at us, had to agree that IT WORKED. Now, our son is nearing 6 months of age, but we still use the machine (set on Ocean sounds) in order to drown out other sounds during nap and sleep times. It would be worth the money even if it played only one sound. The fact that it comes with an AC adapter is great, as is the fact that it can be turned on to play continously--other models shut off automatically after a 40 or 60 minute period. The sudden absence of noise wakes some babies up. This one is great.

I bought this before my daughter was born thinking that the "heartbeat" sound would be soothing for her. I liked this better than the teddy bears with the heartbeat sound because it also had other soothing sounds that my husband and I might enjoy as well.
I hated every sound it made. The heartbeat was loud and annoying. All the other "natural" sounds seemed very unnatural and mechanical. My baby slept much better when I stopped using this. If you want nature sounds, I suggest you invest something other than this product.
We now use an old clock radio tuned to AM static and it works better than anything else.

After two months of little sleep and many failed attemps to get my colicky baby to stop crying I bought the DEX Sound Sleeper. I didn't think that it would work, since nothing else had. But to my surprise (and my husband's) it did. I can now lay her down for naps and bedtime in her bassinnet with the "womb" setting on and she sleeps. It has really helped to get her on a schedule. My 18 month old was an easy baby, so this has been tough to deal with, but not now. My newborn is awake a lot more and not crying as much when she is. During the day, I can set her in her vibrating bouncy seat, womb sound playing and she's a happy camper and I can play with her sister or even get some house work done. Plus, I'm getting sleep at night, which makes Mommy happy.
 No White Noise September 17, 2005

I have two problems with this machine:
1) There is no "white noise" setting. Only waves, brook, wind, womb, etc.
2) The machine is not loud enough at the highest volume setting. The guidelines I've seen is that the white noise should be about as loud as a typical vacuum cleaner. This thing doesn't come close to being that loud.
