Baby Products Reviews of DEX Products Sound Sleeper SS-01
Customer Review: good value
Summary: 3 Stars
This sound machine does have some nice features that not all sound machines have. It's nice that there are many different sounds available. You can combine sounds, and you can make the sounds random (although then you can't pick and choose, so you have the brook sound with seagulls and bouys, which is maybe a little weird. But after all, the baby doesn't know the difference.) Don't count on using the womb sound, which sounds a lot like a side effect on a low-budget sci-fi series (I'd say it's pretty close to the sound the Tardis makes on Doctor Who.) I hope my womb didn't sound like that. The only other problem is, it does make a fairly loud click when it turns itself off which sometimes wakes my son up :( All in all I guess it suits it's purpose, and it's a decent value for the money. But once again, you get what you pay for.Customer Review: This is a great buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this sound machine and my baby (16 months) can't sleep without it, which in itself is a bit annoying!
The volume control is fine, actually the loudest volume is too loud! We use the waves and seagulls and yes the seagulls get very annoying (we have stayed in hotels with our son and we've had to "turn off" the seagulls and just keep the waves on for our sanity!!)
This has travelled everywhere with us and has had it's fair share of batterings in the case/bag and still works. We've run it off of batterys before and they last for ages. Now we live in Swizterland and have had to change the power lead to a higher voltage and it still works perfectly!
I am thinking of buying another one just incase it goes wrong but I have faith in it that it will last as long as my son needs it.
Customer Review: Great for what it is
Summary: 3 Stars
My son is now 15 months old, and we have been using this sound machine since he was 3 weeks old. The womb sound was a huge help when he was a newborn, and helped him to sleep longer. Before we bought this, we had been using the womb sounds bear and were going through batteries like crazy. This is a much better investment.
As he has gotten older, I continue to use it as white noise. That being said, it is not loud enough to block out all background noise. Some of the settings (brook, in particular) sound a little cheesy. But it is great to use when we are travelling, and the battery option is wonderful when you just want to throw it in a suitcase. The random and 2 noise options are great too. I think, for what you pay, it is an excellent option. Just remember that you get what you pay for.
Customer Review: The best thing I could find for a baby with Colic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this product! It was absolutely the only thing that would get my colicy baby to calm down and go to sleep! To the reviewer who said that it wouldn't stay on for more than a few seconds: I think that is because it was still on demo mode. You have to switch it to normal (I think thats what its called...I don't have it on hand at the moment). The switch is located on the back. The volume is great! As some other reviewers mentioned, the loudest volume is too loud and I too can hear it in our bedroom with the monitors off, and our bedroom is separated from his with the kitchen and living room inbetween. I don't know what I would have done without this! I am finally getting 6 hours of sleep at night which is much better than the 2 or 3 hours I was getting before I bought this! I LOVE it!!!Customer Review: Better products out there...

We purchased this while expecting my first child, and as soon as it arrived I knew that we would not be satisfied with the product. Once you set it for what you want, you have to reset it every time you turn it back on. The volume lowers to almost inaudible, and it does not resort back to the last setting. My son sleeps with the rain sound, so EVERY time I turn it on I have to set it to rain and turn the volume all the way up to even come close to drowning out noises outside his room. This may not seem significant, but considering every time he goes down for a nap, or for the night, it adds up. We have the tranquil moments sound machine in our room from Brookstone and we will be spending the extra money and purchasing the baby version of this for our next child that we are currently expecting.
