We love this machine so much we bought a second one for our own room, after using it in our toddler's room for the past year. It works so well, the sound level can go really loud (which we love because we live on a busy street), and the nightlight is the perfect level of light for a toddler. I love the color (the black matches our bedroom so well, it's so sleek), and I also love the size - it's perfect for travel too.Overall, I'd highly suggest this machine. We used a different one before this that had two settings, loud or medium, and it wasn't nearly enough. This has different sounds, different levels, and the light, all in one. Can't beat that for this price.
