3 years and still kicking!
December 27, 2016
We have two of these machines. We bought the first one for my now 3 year old and we still use it every night and have never had an issue we bought a second one for my 15 month old and use it twice a day every day and it's never had an issue. I was surprised when I came here and saw the poor reviews. Maybe we just got lucky?

Lasted an hour and died
November 22, 2016
This was given to us as a gift. It worked for a couple bouts of a half hour or so and then it just stopped working after a day and a half. I talked to customer service who seemed they could do little until I shipped it back... we'll see how it goes but I need a noise machine yesterday, not 4 weeks from now! There seems to be something seriously wrong with this product as several people have the same experience of it dying within a very short time.

October 5, 2016
We've used this machine every night since my 1 year old was born. We take it with us whenever we travel too. We've never had problems with it not working, even considering all the road trips we've taken it on. Only downfall is that my phone won't connect to it. But that's not a huge deal because we like the music it plays.

Worked perfect from day one going on 2 years
September 18, 2016
Bought it for our twin girls. Used it on the wall plug every night the last 22 months with no issues. There's one song on there I actually really like and wish I could find the list of the names but can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows please share. A lot of bad reviews but I'd recommend it since its been perfect for us.

Faulty cord
July 17, 2016
Stopped working a year in. We think it's a faulty cord. Hoping to order a new cord to fix. Also, I read somewhere that blue light actually keeps kids up so perhaps another color for the night light would be good. Other than that- it's been great.

6 years & still going
April 21, 2016
Bought our two machines 4 & 6 years ago. They are perfect for sound & just enough calm blue light for a nightlight. We even travel with it & it instantly makes the kids calm & feel like we're home at bedtime. Love the many options - music, waves, rain, etc. One of the few "baby" items we're still using 6 years later. And we use(d) it every day! Still going strong!

Had it for 3 years!
March 9, 2016
We have had this machine for 3 years so far. It has traveled with us to Dominican, Jamaica, and all over the country as well. Never had an issue. It is still working and going strong. Very surprised that so many people had it stop working. We just purchased another one for our second child to use.

Lived 18 months
February 22, 2016
We have enjoyed this noise machine but are disappointed it only lived for 18 months. We thought the adapter had a short, so we attempted to replace it. However, it seems the problem is that the base unit's connection to the power adapter is loose, causing the unit to turn off and flicker when it finally does come back on. Despite this problem, we decided to buy a replacement and keep the old unit for our new baby. I am hoping that this replacement works for a lot longer than 18 months.

This Sound Machine works like a charm. It has a variety of sounds to calm your baby, from lullabies to the ocean. It also has a dim nightlight that helps.

life saver!
September 24, 2015
I used this product with my first born and swear by it! It not only provided her with calming music (or white noise, or nature sounds!) but also provided a little buffer so my family and I could still go about our lives without worrying so much about waking the baby.

So calming
September 20, 2015
I am so glad I was given this product at my baby shower. I have 11 week old boy/girl twins and when the nights seem like their going to be long I just turn this on and it is like an instant calming sensation and off to dreamland they go! This product has definitely helped me keep my sanity and my sleep! It also has a little night light at the top if you push it down and it is just enough light to see what you need to see and not so bright to wake baby(ies). Thank you Graco!

Lifesaver
September 17, 2015
We had the sleep sheep for our first child and had to keep turning it back on, so we got this. Not only does it play continuously throughout the night and have multiple sound options but it also allows you to connect an iPod.

Failing After One Year
September 15, 2015
We loved the sound machine and were very happy with ours for the first year. The first sign of it breaking was last week when the light would flicker on the top, and it would take us a few times to turn on. Then we couldn't turn off. We also couldn't turn the sound on or off. We had to unplug between uses. I've emailed Graco about repairing or replacing it.

Great product
September 8, 2015
Bought the machine 3 years ago and have used all of the features. Like the different sleep sounds and volume levels, automatic turn off option and we have used the MP3 player and lullabies. We are using this product for our second child and I would recommend it! After 3 years we had an issue with functioning: I called Graco and they were very pleasant and helpful. It's refreshing to find a good product and wonderful customer service. Thank you Syreeta.

We've used for years!
July 27, 2015
We have 2 of these. The first we bought when our daughter was a month old- what a lifesaver. She immediately started sleeping longer. We've had it for almost 4 years now, have used it every night and travelled with it and it still works. We tried the battery feature once, and it worked great. I tried the battery feature again about a year ago when we had a power outage, but it doesn't work with batteries anymore, I don't know why. The 2nd we bought when we had our 2nd kid. We've had that one almost 2 years, used every night, and it still works great. The bettery feature has never worked on this one though. We're going camping in a few nights, and I'm already wringing myhands to figure out what to use!

Loved but then disappointed
July 20, 2015
I'm seeing similar reviews to mine so know this machine is a bit of a problem child. My baby LOVED the sound machine and became attached to the white noise feature as well as the night light. However, this machine breaks too easily. It won't turn off unless you put the batteries in and then suddenly it stopped working. I hadn't even had the machine 3 months. Now my baby is "addicted" to this and it broke. My advice? Get something more reliable that won't put a damper on your nights when it doesn't work

Just ok
May 18, 2015
I found this hoping to help keep my baby asleep and I like that it has many different sounds to pick from and lullabies but honestly most of the white noises are freaky sounding and the music is kind of creepy too in my opinion! The lowest volume is loud to me and it shuts off when it isn't supposed to. I use it mostly for the night light but wish it was a little dimmer I put a washcloth on top so it's not as bright just personal preference.

Perfect Sound Machine
May 11, 2015
My son uses this every night and twice a day for naps. It's amazing! We've had it for about a year and I couldn't have done without it! A lot of the other sound machines turn off after 45 minutes, but this one can stay on until you turn it off. It has many other sounds also, we use the white noise and it's the perfect sound.

April 30, 2015
We bought this when my son was about 6 months old to ease the transition from our room to his own room. I love it! It helps drown out all other noises and helps him fall asleep so easily. Even I love hearing the music come thru his monitor at night. It relaxes everyone in the house.

Dissatisfied - Short Life
March 23, 2015
I loved this machine at first. Lots of sound and music options, plus it has a mp3 plug-in. However, it started having issues with the sound before my daughter was even 6 months, and now, at 8months, it's useless. The sound no longer works properly. If cuts in and out. I've tried several things to fix it to no avail. I will steer everyone I know away from this product.

Must Have!! I don't leave on an overnight trip w/o
January 19, 2015
I ABSOLUTELY love this sound machine. I got mine for a reasonable price when the snow plows started waking my 3 month old twins. They are now 16 months and I don't leave home for an overnight trip without it! I LOVE the wide range of volume controls- for different sized rooms for travel- not having to worry about it being too quiet or too loud if it's near baby- or so i can put it a little louder if it's trash day or the snow plows are out ;-) We also have one favorite noise we use, but this machine has LOTS to choose from, including the mp3/iphone option. I keep ours on all night (because mine would wake up to morning noises like daddy getting ready or outside noises like traffic or lawn mowers/snow blowers) so I always use it plugged in, but it's great that it has an auto turn off timer if you like as well as the option to use it with batteries. It's a nice compact size, not too small or too large. (I guess I'd say it's just a little bigger than little square tissue boxes). I'm glad I purchased this product, it's been a lifesaver! Hopefully it'll last for future kids!

4+ years of use
January 10, 2015
This was gifted to us when my son was born over 4 years ago and he still enjoys listening to it and the light that it gives off. I think we may have experienced some moments where we thought it was broken but adjusting the power chord seemed to fix it. My only question about this product is: can I get a list of the lullabies it plays? Thanks Graco!

Stopped working in a matter of weeks
December 16, 2014
I purchased this sound machine less than two months ago. Several weeks ago, the AC adapter broke off inside of the machine. We switched to battery operation. The machine tore through 4 AA batteries every 3-4 days. Then today, it stopped working altogether. This is clearly a defective product. Don't purchase.

Great while it lasted
September 9, 2014
I received this as a baby shower gift and it was a godsend when my son was born... but after 9 months the speaker began to crackle even when the volume wasn't all the way up (which even at the loudest I didn't feel as though it was loud enough). After reading the other reviews I will be doing research for another brand because I don't want to spend $40+ and have the same issue down the road.

Broke after only a few uses
September 2, 2014
I received this machine as a shower gift and recently brought it out to use for naptimes. The battery function lasted a couple hours, so I replaced the batteries and tried again. It ate the battery power in less than an hour. I brought out the cord and so far it works, but I am annoyed that after so few uses, it's already dying. Don't buy this machine, more frustration than it's worth!

Fantastic
August 18, 2014
This has been a great purchase which we have been using continuously for over two years now, on a daily basis. I am at a loss to explain the number of bad reviews seen here, as this has just not been our experience at all. I guess that Graco just has some quality control issues, because there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the product. Contrary to other reviews, the battery mode does not only last a single night, and indeed I have only changed the batteries this week after using it on vacation for four nights solid, which is reasonable sonsidering its output. Similarly, the failure to work complaint is often down to the inadvertent engaging of the travel lock, and I have fallen foul of that one myself. I have nothing bad to say about this product at all, and would happily recommend it as one of those few 'genuinely essential' gadgets for a small baby/child who is a light sleeper.

No Sound and Flickering Light.
July 29, 2014
I bought this product approximately 9 months ago and worked fine until last night. I sat up trying to find a way to hopefully fix it since we rely on this machine at night. I am very disappointed and considering the fact that I never write reviews is a testament as to the quality.

Like everyone else's, mine broke
June 26, 2014
My daughter is not even nine months old, and this machine just stopped working, just like everyone else's. It does not work with batteries or the AC adapter. I discovered this as I was trying to put her down for a nap...very frustrating to try to figure out a broken sound machine with a screaming, tired baby in your arms. I will not even bother trying to get Graco to replace this as I am sure it will just break again. Very disappointing and frustrating as it was a shower gift from a dear friend and not an inexpensive one. It was really helpful during the time it lasted, but I would go with a different brand next time.

Awesome product
June 13, 2014
We have been using this sound machine since almost day one. My daughter is now 2. We run it all night and all day, we travel about every other weekend and take it with. We've never had a problem with it not working. I think this is a great sound machine! Will buy it again for the second babe that's on the way. For anyone who is complaining that it doesn't go loud enough, do some research, sound machines over a certain decibel can cause hearing loss in adulthood.

March 25, 2014
We bought this while pregnant with our twin boys. We started using it the first day we brought them home and every day since then. My boys are now 15 months old and it still works great. It would calm them down when we held them near it as newborns. It also helps keep them from waking each other up during naps and at night.

So quiet :(
February 27, 2014
Love the idea but the sound itself is so quiet that it really doesn't drown anything out - even on the loudest setting. Actually seems to be getting quieter the longer we have it? Really doesn't work for us - need something that actually drowns out everything else and keeps baby asleep.

A life saver
October 20, 2013
We got two of these for a shower gift, I thought it sounded like a good idea but did not take the time to hook them up. When my daughter started teething, nothing worked to soothe her. Out of desperation I pulled this out of the closet and hooked it up and she stopped crying and I was able to get her back to sleep! I wished I had used it right away. We put the second one in my son's room to help keep him from waking up when we moved into a new home that had different background sounds. Worked like a charm. We have been using both for over 2 years now and have not had any major problems. Batteries do not last long so you pretty much have to use the power cord, but other than that they have been really great.

I absolutely love this monitor. We have used it since day 1 with our daughter. She will be 2 in November. She loves the blue nightlight on top. We have only used the mp3 part of it once. She just loves the lullabies but when she was a baby we used the white noises. We did have to buy a new cord recently but that is to be expected when you use something 3 or more times a day!!

Not so Good. NOT portable
August 8, 2013
This little machine is great - but ONLY on A/C power. I am VERY disappointed to find that there is a common problem in that the unit will freeze if on battery power. In order to turn the unit on, you have to plug the unit to the wall charger, then un-plug it once the desired settings are reached. No, I would not recommend this to a friend. No, this product does not make me think highly of Graco.

Worked great for about 9 months, then all of a sudden no audio. Tried the "reset" procedure to no avail. The unit was well taken care of, up and away from the child. The only interaciton it saw was turning it on and off. Definitley would not reccomend this product.
