I HAVE HAD THE EARLIER MODEL OF THIS SOUND SPA FOR OVER A YEAR. YES, THE STAND DID BREAK OFF. AFTER HAVING IT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR THE SPEAKERS SEEM TO HAVE BLOWN BUT THAT’S BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN USED FOR EVERY SINGLE NAP & OVERNIGHT SLEEP MY SON HAS HAD SINCE HE WAS 3 MONTHS OLD. IT HAS BEEN THE BEST WHITE NOISE MACHINE BECAUSE YOU CAN SET IT TO THE VOLUME (MINE WAS ALWAYS AT THE LOUDEST FOR HIM TO SLEEP) AND TURN IT ON & OFF WITH A PUSH BUTTON. MY SON IS OLD ENOUGH NOW THAT HE TURNS IT ON & OFF HIMSELF. HE LOVES HIS SOUND MACHINE. I’M NOT SURPRISED IT’S FINALLY HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE IT’S BEEN USED AND ABUSED AT FULL VOLUME FOR SO LONG. I THINK THE STAND WOULDN’T HAVE BROKEN IF IT HAD JUST STAYED IN HIS ROOM & NOT BEEN TRANSPORTED AS OFTEN AS IT WAS. I WISH THE OLD MODEL WAS STILL IN PRODUCTION.
I BOUGHT THIS NEW VERSION TO REPLACE MY OLD MODEL. HERE ARE THE CONS:
1) THE WATERFALL SOUND IS MOST LIKE WHITE NOISE (NO WHITE NOISE BUTTON ON THIS MODEL) BUT THE WHITE NOISE SETTING ON THE OLD MODEL IS MUCH SMOOTHER, SOFTER, AND MORE CALMING.
2) THIS NEW MODEL IS LESS ATTRACTIVE IN MY OPINION.
3) TO TURN THIS ONE ON YOU HAVE TO TWIST THE KNOB & TURN IT UP TO THE VOLUME YOU WANT EACH TIME YOU USE IT, AND YOU HAVE TO TWIST IT TO TURN IT OFF. THE CONVENIENCE OF LIGHTLY TAPPING A HUGE BUTTON & HAVING A SET VOLUME IS GONE.
I MISS THE WHITE NOISE SOUND ON THE OLD ONE, PLUS THE WAY YOU TURN IT ON & OFF WITHOUT CHANGING THE VOLUME SETTING. MAYBE IF I HAD NEVER HAD THE OLD CONVENIENCES TO COMPARE IT TO, THIS WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE. IT DOES GET NICE & LOUD LIKE THE OLD ONE TO TRULY BLOCK OUT OTHER SOUNDS. IT’S ALSO SMALL & WOULD BE GOOD FOR TRAVEL TOO. I GAVE IT 2 STARS FOR THE PRICE, LOUD VOLUME, & THE SOUND QUALITY, WHICH IS VERY GOOD. I’LL PROBABLY END UP USING THIS ONE ONLY FOR TRAVEL FOR HIM, AND KEEP TRYING TO FIND MY OLD MODEL SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW.

The Sound Spa is simple to use and can be battery powered if one wishes. The nature sounds are realistic — so realistic that the sea birds in the “Ocean” sound disturbed my cat. I find it to be a wonderful sleep aid and also very useful in shutting out unwanted background noise when I need to concentrate.

This product provides excellent soothing sounds to help one relax and have a good night sleep.

I bought another version of this sound machine a few years back and it worked great for a while. Then it started making loud buzzing noises every once in while (when I was trying to sleep). I figured I had worn it out since I used it every night, all night, while I was sleeping. So I decided to buy another one. This one made the same loud buzzing noise the second night I used it.
