It came well boxed the manual simple and short and the finish pleasant. I am morbid obese and have a. machine at night that helps with sleep aponia and because I am diabetic and on huge amount of morphine 300 my a day that interfere with my sleep. 30 years on strong sleeping tablets too and I find it impossible to get and stay asleep
I started using a electric fan and recently a 1,000 watt air con it keeps me nice and cool as I over heat on operate medications and sweat and dripping wet all the time
I found the noise my air con makes it a bit like a jumbo jet on a run way blocks out all those nasty irritating domestic noises that make sleeping a pain. The noise hides the sound of loud motor bikes whizzing by my house which is on a main road. My neighbours are very noisy slamming there car doors on there range rovers bmw and other cars. They like to shout to each other and have children that love making constant noise. Church goers knocking on the front door and neighbour hood officers disturbing you for information about the community. I found having a loud sounding fan or air con a blessing. It distracts every day noises allowing you to relaxer to a wonderful blowing rumbling sound from them./ all these disturbances just seem to disappear and vanish in to the back ground and these real sounds just become noises that are unidentifiable.
Now this dohl white noise sleep machine has a finish fan built in and a on and off switch. On the more up market machine there is a choice of a low or high fan souls level output to be honest the loud setting is about as loud as the smallest fan you can buy from Argos that is so quite I can still hear every day noises very easily. It is a expensive machine would be cheaper instead of paying £60 to but a £15 fan which does the same job and is 3 times cheaper. I think this machine is fantastic for those people who like to moan and complain about everything there is to complain about My rip off 240 volt version designed for the UK was a cheap and useless purchase. I sent it back for a refund the next day. The fan so quite as I said a small fan from a electrical warehouse sound wise compares well in a comparison. Don't waste your money send it back and buy a normal fan and also enjoy a beautiful gentle breeze of wind and a may be the isolating effects.
To let you in to a secret there are many fantastic very cheap applications you can down load for a pound that gives you relaxing tribal and animal sounds from around the world that play all night running while your i phone is left on charge.with a fan it might only last a few years like this white noise sleep machine last of all I find the I phone applications of thunder sndightnjng rain forest and animals in Africa so much more relaxing and can be played though your portable blue tooth speaker that runs off the mains. It is all built in to a compact I phone that you can take anywhere in the world without worrying about if it is ac or dc powered
I think the seller and manufacture will pinch me if they knew my name and address

It really works, I've bought three, for all my family!

After reading lots of reviews I decided to buy one of these for my daughter who had just started university and was having real problems sleeping due to the noisy nature of her halls of residence. Having to get up for 9AM lectures when the revellers are still partying at 4AM was not much fun and I was concerned she would get run down and ill! She got the dohm, and it was fantastic. It does sound a bit like a fan, and has a soothing effect as it nullifies background noise. I was having difficulty sleeping as my husband can be a bit snorey and I'm a light sleeper and it was starting to drive me mad. My daughter kept saying get a dohm mum, but I felt it was a bit of an extravagance, but when it got to the point I was heading for the spare room after an hour or two of getting wound up by the noise, I thought I'd get one. We have both slept so much better with the dohm, probably a marriage saver! And to add to my recommendation, I have bought another one for my eldest daughter who is in her final year at university, sharing a house with five others, who are all on different body clocks, she says with the curtains drawn and the dohm on she can sleep through whatever noise is going on in the house. So this review may sound too good to be true, but it is completely genuine, and I have been recommending the dohm to friends and family, and in fact recommended it to a young girl I met at a drinks party the other night, who's recently moved into a noisy London flat. So perhaps it doesn't work for everyone, amongst the dozens of reviews I read there were a few who weren't happy, but I have to say it has been positively life changing for my family. We all function better with a good nights sleep and its definitely really helped all of us.

Se trata de un pequeño ventilador dentro de una carcasa de plástico. El lateral y la tapa de arriba los puedes mover para variar la intensidad del ruido. Yo dejo la tapa de arriba con todos los agujeros destapados. De lo contrario parece que se calienta bastante. Lo que sí hago es mover la carcasa lateral a la mitad para rebajar la intensidad del ruido.
Mi piso es muy silencioso, pero no así mis vecinos y la calle. En mi caso compré este aparato para amortiguar el ruido de la tele del vecino y de la calle. Debo decir que cumple prefectamente. Una vez te acostumbras, ni te das cuenta que ya no te fijas tanto en los ruidos externos. Tener un ruido de fondo más o menos relajante hace que no te centres tanto en los otros ruidos como pueden ser los coches o motos pasando o la tele del vecino. Quizá sí es verdad que es un poco ruidoso para dormir, pero todo depende de cómo lo uses. Si mueves la carcasa lateral para rebajar la intensidad del ruido, y pones el Dohm en un sillón o sofá, como lo tengo yo, el ruido que produce el aparato se amortigua bastante debido al acolchado. Incluso a veces, por la noche, pongo un cojín grande medio tapando el aparato para amortiguar todavía más el ruido. Aun así, personalmente, lo dejo encendido en el comedor, y en la habitación tengo otros aparatos. Lo que sí encuentro es que es algo caro para lo que ofrece y lleva clavija del Reino Unido (aunque comprar el adaptador te cuesta 2 euros).

Makes my Tinnitus inaudible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

A difficult thing to review really. I bought this because I have Tinnitus. I had been using various sounds from videos off Youtube, like a sound of a stream or air conditioner, converted to an mp3 then played through my media player, but was looking for something a bit more portable. At the moment I use my laptop with a seperate speaker plugged in, a pain to lug upstairs when I go to bed, or to stick in a corner when I want to watch TV.

The sound it creates makes my Tinnitus inaudible, which is good, and, for me, anyway, it is probably the perfect level of noise; any lower and I could hear my T, any louder and it would be intrusive. There are lots of video's on Youtube with people reviewing this item, which can give you an idea of how it sounds.

In regards to people saying there isn't much difference between the sound options, I disagree. There isn't a massive difference, but a significant enough difference. In my quietest room, the bedroom, I need the machine on full volume, whereas in the living room, I can have it lower. I assume as my living room is at the front of house.

I don't think the price is too bad either. To find a machine that makes a noise that isn't too low or loud is tough, and any extra money spent here is better than spending who knows how long trying to find a suitable Tinnitus masker, in my opinion.

So, a tough thing to review. I am giving it five stars as it does the job I wanted. I also like how the manual reassures you it can be left on all night as it isn't costly to run. For any Tinnitus sufferers I would give it a try, you can always return it for free, as it is with Amazon, although there may be return costs, sometimes Amazon say they will reimburse you x amount, sometimes it really is free.

funziona e fa il suo dovere, ma poco configurabile e un po' caro

Reviewed in Italy on February 16, 2016

Innanzitutto bisogna tenere presente che ci troviamo di fronte ad un ventilatore che sostanzialmente non fa aria, ma solo rumore di sottofondo, che poi è quello che la casa produttrice dichiara (ovvero non promette alcuna magia). Il rumore può essere leggermente modificato (sia in tonalità che volume) aprendo/chiudendo alcuni fori presenti sul dispositivo. Nel mio caso ho dovuto chiudere con dei tappetti di plastica anche altri 2 buchi sulla parte superiore perchè il rumore minimo era comunque eccessivo per i miei gusti (attenzione a non coprire i buchi in altri modi altrimenti il dispositivo si surriscalda, e soprattutto a non coprire i buchi presenti alla base!). La cosa bella è che il rumore di sottofondo è fatto in maniera "analogica" e non digitale, ovvero non si tratta di un mini-stereo che riproduce una traccia in loop, e personalmente trovo la cosa molto più gradevole e "naturale". In teoria dovrebbe consumare anche poca corrente (o perlomeno così dicono le recensioni americane su Amazon.com). Che poi sia giusto pagare una cosa del genere così tanto è un altro discorso, ma d'altronde il nostro sonno ha un prezzo?

P.S.: dimenticavo di dirvi che il prodotto ha la spina inglese e quindi necessita di un adattatore (con 3 euro ve la cavate). Naturalmente è compatibile con il voltaggio che c'è in Italia.

Tapa ruidos, tampoco te tapa todo como si estuvieses en un ventilador industrial, en mi caso lo necesito para tapar ruidos pequeños como la chatarra de aire acondicionado que tiene mi vecino y eso lo hace bien, no se si con ruidos muy fuertes sera tan efectivo, aunque si te lo pones en la mesilla de noche cerca de ti si que hace ruido y parece efectivo.
Un detalle, viene con clavija extranjera, con lo que te toca darte un viaje al chino a comprar un adaptador de enchufes internacional.
El precio me parece algo caro para lo que realmente es, un ventilador puro y duro.

Este aparato viene con la clavija de REINO UNIDO, no la europea/española. ATENCIÓN al comprarlo porque yo he tenido que comprar también un adaptador para usarlo, a lo mejor otros modelos que aparecen también en Amazon tienen la clavija correcta. Pero estando este aparato aquí listado, en Amazon España, entiendo que el enchufe debería ser el correcto o por lo menos avisar en la descripción claramente.
Todavía no lo he usado, cuando PUEDA, lo haré y actualizaré mi opinión de acuerdo a ello pero la calificación de 1 estrella se queda por las molestias de la clavija.

Actualización: ya lo he podido utilizar para dormir. Pondría una calificación de 4 estrellas, el aparatito está muy bien y camufla bien el ruido exterior (aunque si es demasiado potente, solo lo reduce). Pongo 3 por el tema que comentaba de que me ha obligado a comprar un adaptador de enchufe de Reino Unido.

Inutile e inefficace. Un ventilatore di lusso.

Attrezzo privo di valenza terapeutica scientificamente provata. Un banalissimo ventilatore il cui rumore elettrico è in decibel quasi al pari del rumore bianco che dovrebbe generare. La possibilità di intonare il rumore è Irrilevante.

Cumple con lo que esperaba

Reviewed in Spain on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Tras las amables respuestas de otros compradores de esta máquina me decidí a adquirirla. El resultado ha sido el esperado y el sonido que emite permite amortiguar y hasta ocultar ciertos ruidos. Es efectivo para ruidos aéreos como por ejemplo voces de vecinos, música o TV alta. En cambio no conseguirá esconder ruidos por vibraciones como por ejemplo alguien que arrastra muebles, o los bajos de un equipo de música. Eso sí, algo mitigará.

El nivel de ruido se puede graduar girando la carcasa y también mediante las dos velocidades del motor, aunque apenas se nota la diferencia entre la velocidad 1 y la velocidad 2.
