If you enjoy different kinds of fan or "color" noises (i.e., white, pink, brown, blue, etc) then you've found the right noise machine! It has way more options than any other one for these types of noises. It's a bummer when you have 30 noises but only want/ use the few colored noise options. I was afraid some of the space/ celestial sounding ones would sound creepy or cosmic (like binaural music) but they were just other, pleasant noise options like the colored noises. I didn't care for most of the fan options but fans aren't my favorite sounds anyway. If you like fan options... there's plenty! The one thing I don't care for, so far, is that to turn it off, you have to press the power button a few times to cycle through the timers, and then it will turn off. It's a very small annoyance and isn't a deal-breaker - just wish they had designed those as separate buttons. I'm also a little bummed there's no nature sounds like rain or brook, but I hardly use those so I don't mind not having those when there are so many other choices.The overall feel is pretty hefty, in a good way. Doesn't feel cheap or chintzy. Has rubber feet so it wont slide around. Sounds are quality and not at all fake or tinny. It's small enough I think one could travel with it, but there are smaller options out there.*UPDATE* 2 years later and I still LOVE this thing! I bought a slightly cheaper noise machine (Easysleep) for my son's room to save a little money and wish I had just got this one again. I tested a few other options for him and all of them felt cheap compared to this... and this one was only $5-10 more. And the noise options on the others were often tinny. I say if you want white or fan noises go with this one! The only thing I'll note after two years is that the power button symbol has faded ever so slightly. No big deal to me but if that matters to someone...
