SNOOZ: Sound. Sleep.

The actual machine’s potential is 5 stars, but for $100, you’d expect complete control via the app. Unfortunately, the app is incredibly basic. The volume control is choppy, causing my kid to wake up as I try to gradually turn it down. While there’s a fade option, it’s only available when the machine is scheduled and can only be used to turn the machine off or on. It would be great if the fade option could be used manually or scheduled, allowing you to fade the volume from a high level to a low level over a period of, say, 10 minutes or vice versa. Additionally, it would be ideal if the machine could use its built-in sound monitor to detect crying and gradually increase the volume until the crying stops for about 5 minutes. Then, it could gradually fade back down to a low level. Finally, adding complex schedules or multiple schedules would be a nice feature. Overall, the machine is great, but please fix the app to fully utilize its potential! Update: still no fade option. Please add. 🙏🙏

I had been sleeping with a box fan for years and years, but I just didn’t like all the air blowing in my room while I was trying to sleep because I would wake up a lot with a sore throat. I tried several different sound machines, but I could always hear the loop and it would keep me up at night and drive me insane! Snooz is amazing. It literally sounds like a box fan, but it is so small! And there’s no wind! I really love that I can control it from my phone and can set timers so it can fade in and out for an easier wake up cycle. I also love that it’s so small that we always have room to easily pack it whenever we are staying away from home. We won’t go anywhere without it! I seriously can not say enough good things about snooz! It literally exceeded all my expectations!

The Snooz unit is a thing of beauty. Simple, well-designed. It has an actual mechanical fan inside a housing but way better than a clunky store-bought oscillating fan from the hardware store. Snooz’s sound pitch is infinitely tunable from white to brown sound with a twist of the housing. I liken the sound to the sound of a jet flight at 35,000 feet. Smooth, soothing, constant brown sound. The touch controls on top are simple: on/off, speed. The Bluetooth app to control the device is great too. Intuitive, simple to connect and calibrate. Easy to schedule for weekend/weekdays. We were up and running in 2 minutes. My only suggestion would be to add more variation to the app speed control in order to dial in the sweet spot for volume level. Right now it has ten “whole” steps of adjustment. It would be great if you could adjust between those steps in halves or 3rds. 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 1, 1.3, 1.6, 2, etc. We find our sweet spot to be between 2 or 3 so a 2.5 would be awesome. Thanks for such a great product. It is expensive but so much better than a desktop fan! It has improved our sleep!
