My LO's white noise machine quit, and he's very dependent on it, so we will be ordering one ASAP. Ours was actually an old iPod that we used a white noise app on. Anyone have one they love - bonus if you tell me where to purchase and idea of cost

We have Dohm. It's ugly but it works great.
I have no proof that this is true, but I always feel like lower-tech items are more reliable than higher tech items. This is just a motor/fan in a box. No real electronics. Seems to me like it should last a long time... and it gets stellar reviews.http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-DOHM-DS-Natural-actual-Machine/dp/B000KUHFGM

I have a super basic homedics one and it does the trick. We have bought it at both buy buy baby and bed bath and beyond (first one got dropped a little too hard and needed to be replaced). $20 and you can use a 20% off coupon. Can't beat it. C is addicted too.

@Mae: that's what we have too and it's lasted for YEARS. It was used before we got it and it keeps on going- all night every night!
-
we have a dohm in each of the kids' rooms. 5+ years and still going strong.
-
We have 2 dohms. I think we paid around $50 for the first one, and the second one we hit on a super sale on amazon and got it for $34. But I would have paid $50 again without a second thought. We love it.
-
We have a dohm in each of our kids' rooms. I agree with @Mae: on the low-tech option sometimes being the best. I replaced a fancy electronic one because it would randomly cut out. Also, this sounds crazy, but I think the noise from the dohm sounds a little gentler, less harsh than some white noise.
-
We have both the sound spa machine by home medics and the dohm . The dohm is louder, which is a win in our book. The sound spa one has been working great for two years, though!
-
@MrsF: I do agree that the dohm sound is gentler. They have them at doctors offices a lot too.
-
We also have a dohm for LO2 and love it. LO1 has a little Einstein sea soother we got it later and he likes it but it only plays for 25 mins. If we were to do it over id have 2 dohm's
-
I have the Homedics one in each LOs room and they love it. We have it on Ocean, at their request.
-
@Mae: @Mrs. Bee: @Pancakes: @MrsF: @blackbird: @jetsa: I'm looking into getting the Dohm too when baby 2 arrives. Do you guys keep it on all night?
-
@dolphin: yep. all night and all through naps.
-
We have this one (times 2) by first years. The original was bought nearly four years ago at BRU and is still used nightly in my older girls room. We bought a second one from Amazon for our younger. It has a timer for 60 minutes but we don't use that feature, I prefer to let it go all night long. At less than $30, a reasonable little machine.
-
@dolphin: all night and through naps
-
We have the dohm one as well. DH and I even have one in our room now! Our first one is still going strong 2.5 years later.
-
yup all night. if we didn't have one, they would definitely wake each other up!
-
Dohm as well, all night and through naps. DD1's is 3 years old and going strong!
-
Dohm!!
-
Maybe I'm weird but I found the Dohm to be a bit too soft. We have the cheapie homedics in both boys' rooms.
-
Another Dohm user here. Even have one for our room.
-
I bought a Dohm based on the reviews here. Love it!!
-
We have the homedics one too. We love it. Just bought a second for the LO#2's nursery. With LO#1 we didn't realize how important to the white noise was so we just had a little travel one that used batteries. After replacing the batteries every 4 weeks for the third time we got homedics one and were really happy.
-
We have a graco one that DS loves. 2 years and going strong. We also liked that it has a plug for your ipod/iphone. When DS was little, he liked to listen to one particular song over and over, so we'd hook the ipod up to it.
-
Sounds like the Dohm for the win! I agree it's not attractive, but everytime the white noise cuts out, LO wakes up crying, so something that reliable works for me. Thank you everyone!
-
I have a cheap one from the baby section in target in both kids room. I don't even know the brand, but they are loud enough that they don't wake each other. Even when DD is tantruming in the middle of the night!
-
@Tanjowen: We use a fan, super cheap and works.
-
@ValentineMommy: ditto on the graco one! Had it for 6 yrs and still going strong - love them!
-
We've been relying on an old 3G iPod with a white noise app for 18 months now. The best part is that we can bring it with us wherever we go. In the early days it was a lifesaver to bring with us even on errands. Just stick it in the infant carrier and off we go!
-
@ValentineMommy: We have two of these as well! They are great.
