The high point was when they started playing football at five in the morning and didn't stop until breakfast was served some hours later by their apparently deaf parents. The noise, which consisted of continual shouting and screeching, started at 3 pm in the afternoon and went on all through the night without ceasing. My wife and I recently had our sleep badly disturbed because our next door neighbour decided to let their boys and all their friends have a sleepover in a tent in their garden. This was due to the fan having come loose on its drive shaft, easily fixed with a spot of glue ( see photo) After just over 3 months of use at 8 hours per night, this item started making an irritating "ticking" noise. Over a year, at 8 hours per night it'll use less than a tenner's worth of electricity.This item is actually manufactured in the USA and - (even allowing for the fact that they usually pay in dollars what we have to pay in pounds)- in my view it's about 30% over- priced. It would be of great benefit to a shift worker.It is rated at 20 watts, meaning that during an 8 hour night it will consume less than 3 pence worth of electricity. I found it very successful for drowning out passing traffic, annoying bird song etc.
It's not as loud as a hairdryer or vacuum cleaner. There's nothing magic about it.So basically what we have here is a plastic box containing a fan, which makes noises which you can vary from a muted swoosh to a (fairly) loud hiss. It's worth pointing out that if you intend to use this to drown out unwanted noise, it would have to be louder than the noise you're trying to drown out. This UK version only has one speed ( the description of "Dual Speed" is inaccurate and should be changed) -but I found that you can produce quite a range of different sounds depending on how you adjust it. It is very well made ( although it has a weirdly dated 1960's sort of feel to it). Well made item which started making a "ticking" noise after 3 months This does not affect your statutory rights. uk accepts no liability for inaccuracies or misstatements about products by manufacturers or other third parties.
