Owl White Noise Machine with Night Light

The shell wipes down easily after sticky little hands have been all over it, which matters more than I expected. Sound quality is clearer than I thought it would be for something this size. Our 1 year old now points at it when she wants it switched on.

We clip it to the car seat handle for longer journeys and it keeps our little one calm far better than the radio ever did. Battery life is impressive, lasted a whole weekend away without needing a top up. Would happily buy as a present for other parents.

At 3am you don't want to be fiddling with complicated settings and this one is dead simple, one button for sound, one for light, one for timer. Our baby responds well to the white noise setting especially. Solidly made for the price.

She was a restless sleeper for the first few months and this has genuinely helped, especially the ocean wave sound. We like that it clips onto the cot so there's no cable trailing anywhere near her. Would absolutely buy again for a second child.

Compared this to a couple of pricier options and honestly can't tell the difference in sound quality or build. The cry sensor and timer alone make it worth it, and the portability means it comes with us to the in-laws every weekend. No regrets.

Our son wasn't keen on the new sounds for the first two or three nights but soon settled into it and now reaches for it himself when it's bedtime. The light could be slightly brighter for middle of the night nappy changes, otherwise very happy with it.

Glad it charges with the same cable as everything else in the house rather than needing odd batteries. We top it up once every couple of weeks and it never seems to run low overnight. The owl design was a hit with our daughter as she got a bit older too.

Use it mainly for daytime naps to block out noise from the rest of the house and it works a treat. The timer means it doesn't run the whole nap accidentally draining the battery. Simple, does what it promises.

Dropped it off the changing table by accident in the first week and it still works perfectly, no cracks or issues. The buttons have a nice tactile click so you know you've pressed them properly in the dark. Our 10 month old has slept better since we started using it.

We cycle through the white noise and lullaby settings depending on the time of day and our little one seems to have a preference for the rain sound at bedtime. Really simple controls, my husband worked it out without reading the manual. Would recommend to any new parent.

Got this for my sister when her son was born and she's mentioned several times how much she relies on it. The cry sensor means she doesn't have to rush in at every small noise. Looks cute sitting on the shelf too, not like a clunky baby monitor.

Bought one for each of our twins after trying a single one first with great results. The night light is soft enough that it doesn't disturb the other if one wakes slightly. Easy to wipe clean too which matters with two babies around.

The functions all work well, especially the auto cry response, but the fabric strap looks like it'll wear out before the machine does given how often we hang it off the pram. Not a dealbreaker, just something to keep an eye on.

We liked our first one so much we bought a second for the childminder's. Both owls get used daily and the battery life is genuinely weeks, not days like some other things we've tried. Easy to recommend to other parents at baby group.

Small and light enough that it lives in the changing bag permanently now, we use it in the car and at the grandparents' house. Charges quickly and the clip ring is sturdy. Our daughter responds to the heartbeat sound best out of all 30.

The sound machine itself does what it says and my little one does seem to settle quicker with it on. Mine had a small scuff on the back out of the box, nothing that affects how it works but a little disappointing on a new item. Still happy enough to keep using it every night.

We set the 60 minute timer so it switches off once she's properly asleep rather than running all night. Simple to use, the buttons on the front are easy to find even in the dark. No complaints after two months of nightly use.

I was sceptical about the cry detection but it does pick up on genuine crying rather than every little grumble. My 4 month old has started sleeping longer stretches since we started using it. The owl face is sweet too, makes it feel less like a gadget in the nursery.

We took this abroad for the first time with our toddler and it was brilliant, small enough to fit in the hand luggage and the strap meant it hung off the travel cot easily. Battery lasted the whole week on one charge. Would buy again as a gift.

Really pleased with the 30 sound options, we rotate between rain and white noise depending on her mood. The only downside is the night light is quite soft, which is lovely for sleeping but not much use if you need to actually see what you're doing in the night. Still a good buy overall.

The clip and strap mean it hangs right on the cot bars rather than taking up space on the shelf. We use the ocean sound every night and our son is out within ten minutes. Build feels solid for something this size.

Bought this for our 7 month old who was waking every couple of hours and the cry sensor genuinely kicks in before she's properly upset. The night light is just bright enough to check on her without switching the big light on. Charges fast on USB-C too, which is handy as I always forget to plug things in.
