Customer Reviews of MARPAC Dohm DS Dual Speed Electro-Mechanical White Noise Machine / Sound Machine for Sleeping at Home & Travel
Customer Review: Don't buy this product if you need to block out snoring
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product because the reviews stated by several purchasers that this machine did a good job blocking out obtrusive noise, even on the lower fan speed. One review specifically referred to blocking out snoring which was my reason for considering this machine. My husband snores and we currently use a fan in the room for the "white noise" but wanted something that wouldn't cool down the room in the winter. The "white noise" produced by this machine on the high setting wasn't loud enough. After several nights of trying different locations for the machine, the only way I could block out his snoring was to put the machine on the bed, right next to my head with the machine on high. Needless to say, I returned this product. If you want this machine to block out snoring, I don't think this is the product for you.Customer Review: Received a defective product
Summary: 1 Stars
The only reason I'm giving it a 1-star rating is because the machine broke down within minutes of use. I don't know if the higher setting is a problem, because it seemed fine with the lower one. With the former, there was a loud popping sound, then smoke started coming out of the unit and after that, it stopped functioning altogether.
And I just found out that I can't get a replacement, only a refund, because the machine came from a seller, not Amazon itself. And since I have to ship it back to the USA from Singapore ( where I live ), I also have to foot the high shipping charges.
Doesn't seem fair at all, and I don't know if I should even bother getting a new machine.
Guess I may just have to use ear plugs and my iPod for the rest of my life.
Customer Review: If you live on a ranch don't bother buying this..
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this item based on all the glowing reviews of it. It is NOT as loud or as noise canceling as they would have you think. While it is portable, it did not make enough noise on the high settings to cut through typical ranch sounds, (if you live on one you know what I mean!). It was no where near as loud as the fan we had used for this same purpose, and gave us a miserable night's sleep. We sent it back the next day. Might be good for quiet to moderate neighborhoods, but don't waste your time if you live on a ranch or farm...Customer Review: Do not buy this product and don't believe the Made in USA hype
Summary: 1 Stars
Ours broke within 72 hours of use. Most US manufacturers use brute force to create "quality." There's not much innovation in this product and other sound machines with a variety of selections are more useful than this machine for a newborn or young kids. Don't put your faith in this company or its products...you'll be disappointed. Again, ours broke within hours of use. American quality...whatever...Customer Review: Marpac 980 Sleepmate & Sound Screen Cond. White Noise Sleep Machine
Summary: 1 Stars
I found the sound on this machine irritating and actually prevented me from sleeping. It sounded more like a fan blowing than white noise. The volume control was also poor. Does not warrant the price. I would have liked to have known exactly what type of sound this product emitted before I purchased it. There was also a restocking fee of $10.99 which I felt was excessive.
